Stuck With You

09

GOD, I STILL FEEL like this was a mere dream of mine.

Sitting down next to Kyle felt like a surreal thing. I had imagined this happening a hundred times and now when it was all falling into place, I couldn't help but ponder upon the thought that it was all a dream. A dream where I was finally with the one I had wished for.

Our fingers were intertwined together, after I had kissed him in the morning, the only intimate touch I had with him was now. After some hours, when we were done making breakfast together. The rain was slowly starting to pour less densely but still the situation outside was not any better.

The way he looked at me, it still shivers down my spine. And the way the corner of his lips would curl up, god, everything about him was perfect. He was not only good at academics but he also cooked, he was brilliant at cooking, the dishes made by him was finger licking. And now that we were sitting next to each other, all I wanted to do was jump right at him.

My hormones were a complete mess, his wide chest felt like it would rip off any brother's shirt any moment and I would surely not complain. Kyle was a fine specimen. And I couldn't get enough of him, not when I had finally known how his lips tasted. My first kiss was mind blowing, it couldn't be any more perfect than how it was.

"Oh they are saying maybe the rain will stop soon" Kyle said while checking his phone. The rain was really going to subside and it definitely wasn't the thing I wanted at this moment. Having Kyle so close to me for the very first time, I just wanted to have him around for one more day.
We hadn't talked much about what we were going to do once he comes back home, we hadn't talked about where we stood right now. And I certainly wanted what he had at this moment to stay like this for some time. I want to take things slow, real slow. Kyle seemed to have noticed I was too lost in my thoughts as he was staring at me with curious eyes.

"What are you thinking about? Tell me"

"I was thinking how you were so adorable" Hearing this, Kyle let out a small chuckle, he ruffled his hair, I could notice the faint red colour on his cheeks. My eyes were fixed on him and he simply let me.

"Well, then, aren't you gorgeous?" Kyle poked my cheek with his index finger and this time a wide smile spread on my lips, he inched closer to me, our arms and knees brushing with each other. With his warm breath caressing my skin, I shut my eyes tight.

And next second, I was sitting on his lap, kissing him deeply.

"Can you pass me the salt?" Kyle asked and I grabbed the small container of salt off the counter, passing him the salt. I peeked in to see what he was currently stirring. Kyle had offered to bake chocolate cake, I would be lying if I say my mouth didn't watered hearing that.

His was almost done, with a last stir in the batter, he transferred it to a round container. I watched him, his muscles would flex when he applied pressure, a vein in his neck would occasionally bob. And staring down at him was a wonderful task.

"If you are done staring, let's go and watch the movie" Kyle leaned against the kitchen counter opposite to me, a smirk playing on his lips. I nodded my head, shyly looking down in embarrassment.

The effect he left on me.

And then we headed towards the living room leaving behind the cake to get microwaved for thirty minutes. Kyle brought a bowl of popcorn with him, as I sat down on the couch, playing the movie we had decided to watch after thinking for several minutes. Kyle plopped down next to me, I was not at all users to him being so close to me, it was still new to me.

Everything right now was new to me.

I sometimes did not understand how I should react, I contemplated a lot of my own thoughts. Kyle was too indulged into watching the movie that he only lifted his hand to pick up the popcorn from the bowl. He stared at the screen and I stared at him. For some split of seconds I wanted to run my fingers along his jaw and drop multiple kisses down at his neck.

When after thirty minutes the microwave beamed, indicating that the cake was done, I got up from my place, my legs were already tired of sitting in the same position. The rain was starting to slow down at this moment and I was relieved to see that. No more thundering. No more panic attacks.

I had absent mindedly forgotten to wear kitchen gloves while taking out the hot container and then I immediately dropped the counter down in the microwave to realise that I had burnt my fingers. I winced audibly which was clearly heard by Kyle as he came running into the kitchen.

"God, what happened?" I was holding my right hand in my left one and so he grabbed my right hand, observing what went wrong. He dragged me towards the sink, turning the tap on and holding my arm under the running water. It did bring me some relief but it was really painful.

Kyle rubbed my fingers gently, he was whispering words that I couldn't catch properly. After some more minutes of keeping my hand under the cold water, Kyle turned the tap off. He released a sigh. "What were you doing? Look, now you have burnt your fingers" Kyle brought my hand closer to his eyes, examining it closely.

"Where is the medical kit?" Kyle asked softly and o pointed at the thrift cabinet upwards and he was quick to fool my direction. When he found the kit, he kept it on the counter, rummaging through different ointments and tablets and he found the one which was to be applied on my burnt fingers.

He tugged my wrist gently, leading me towards the living room with a worried look on his face, he looked cute nonetheless. I was seeing a totally different side of his and I was so very glad he landed himself here, in my house.

Kyle made me sit down on the couch, while he sat down, on his knees. He took some ointment on his own finger before applying it on my fingers, I stared at him in awe, he blew air on each of my fingers after he was done applying the ointment. His touch was all I needed right now.

"Does it hurt a lot?" He asked with concern, laced in his voice, I shook my head at him.
"Now that you are here, I don't feel pain at all" And that made him laugh, his contagious smile which made my heart skip a beat.

"Aren't you cheesy Heaven Knight?"
