Atelophobia

Ch.9

The bell to lunch rang without me even noticing. Everyone walked out of the classroom except me as always. 

After everyone left the class I quickly scurried to my locker to put my books in it. I am not making the mistake of bringing them out there, plus I don't want him to think i’m that desperate to see him. Well he is my boyfriend, so it doesn’t really matter how I act in front of him anymore. My Boyfriend… He’s my boyfriend… I never actually thought there would be a day were Camden Brooks, one of the most attractive guys in our grade would like me, Charlotte Hayes the shy dork stuck in the fiction world instead of the real one. 

Every time I try to open up my locker I always feel like i’m going to forget my combination so when I turn the corner I walk extra slow chanting the three numbers that unlock it over and over again. 

14 28 22… 14 28 22… 14 28 22…

I open up my locker and a note falls out. I put my stuff in the locker and shove the note into my pocket.

I slam my locker shut and put the lock on it. I turn around and walk to the end of the hall were the door that leads to the field is. Right as I push the door open I can feel the chill and icy breeze of the winter wind. I can feel the light fall of snow gather on the ends of my eyelashes. 

“Charlotte,” someone said behind me

It’s Camden, I can tell it’s him before I even turn around. His deep raspy voice rolls out of him like chocolate syrup oozing out of the bottle. 

Before I can turn around he grabs my waists and picks me up. I laugh at his adorable clichéness of a boyfriend. I normally hate clichés, but it’s Camden he makes every situation admirable. 

When he lands me back on my feet I turn around immediately and kisses the top of my forehead. His lips are warm on my skin, But I want more. I feel like he’s taunting me with his charming smile and beautiful deep sea blue eyes. I want more of him, his warmth, his hair, but mostly his kisses. 

I feel like he had been able to read my mind, because right after I thought that he pulls me in and kisses my lips this time. He tastes like peppermint and chocolate and christmas. I wonder if I taste good, I hope so because that would be a bummer for Camden because i’m not letting go any time soon.

By the time I break away to catch a breath, it looks like camden is having a heart attack. 

“how” he says in between breaths, “can you hold your breath for that long” 

“I’m not sure maybe it’s because I can’t get enough of your kisses.” I say very flirtatiously 

he laughs “Charlotte I love kissing you, but you need to eat. Now that i’m your boyfriend i’m going to start paying more attention to how much your eating.” 

He looks down at his watch 

“I don’t have any food” I look down at my toes.

“Good, well I mean not good you need to bring food it’s because this would have been awkward” he said
