runaways (c.h)

5- kisses

I grabbed my phone when I went home yesterday, so I pulled it out and checked the time.

1am.

I smiled to myself. I looked over at Calum who was on my left as we sat on the floor of our favorite park. I guess he felt my gaze so he looked at me and we just looked at each other for a while. Our eyes were locked, I didn't want to look away and I could tell he didn't either. I took the time to admire his face as we stared at each other, but for some reason wherever I looked, my eyes kept flickering back to his lips.

His lips were so plump and big and sometimes when he speaks, you can hear the tiniest lisp which I think is adorable. all I wanted to do in that moment was lean forward and kiss him, but I just kept staring at him, occasionally glancing at his lips.

this went on for awhile until I realized he was leaning in towards me. My heart began to race and it felt like it was about to fall out of my chest. I thought about our date earlier that day and how perfect it was. Not once did he let go of my hand as we went to a bunch of places. We got ice cream, then walked to a carnival and went on some rides, and finally ended up back here. It was a really good date.

I focused back on reality and what was about to happen. I leaned in to close the gap between us. When our lips touched I swear it felt like mine were ice and his were fire, and with every movement, I could feel the flames ignite inside me.

He brought his hand up to my neck and leaned in closer, so there was no gap between us. I put my hand in his hair and played with it as we kissed slowly. our chests were pressed together and I could feel his muscles contracting as he pulled away and took hard deep breaths.
He smiled at me and I smiled back.

"I like you." he whispered.
"you don't know me." I whispered back.
"I want to though." he said quietly.

"what do you say Lily? Stay up with me tonight at our favorite time of day at our favorite place on earth while we tell each other our dreams and deepest secrets and likes and dislikes. Let's get to know each other." he said with a hopeful smile.

"okay." I said slowly. "I'll start off by telling you that I like you too." he grinned.

and so for the next 3 hours we talked non-stop about anything and everything. He would hold my hand as I talked and play with my fingers. If he was listening to my stories or not I don't know but he seemed quite content with the scene that was happening, so as long as he was happy I was okay.

"You know." Calum started. "running away doesn't have to be that complicated, we can just go home, grab some necessary items and go." he said.

"where would we go?" I asked. Currently we were in the most terribly boring state of Pennsylvania. I want to go somewhere exciting and make memories. I had one place in mind and I was praying that he would like to go there.

"How does New York City sound for you?" he smirked. On the inside, I was throwing myself a party because NYC is exactly what I had in mind, but on the outside I composed myself as best as I could.

It still didn't work that well.

I jumped on his lap, straddled him and hugged him. he wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged back tightly.

"I guess we're going to New York then." he said and I could hear the smile on his voice.

I nodded furiously and break free from our hug just yet. I pulled back and kissed him for the second time that night. He was shocked at first but quickly composed himself and kissed back. He held my hips as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. We kissed a lot that night. I've come to the realization that he makes me really happy. I'll tell him that soon. Maybe it will make him happy.

"What do you say we pack up and leave for New York tomorrow?" he suggested. I smiled and nodded.
