... We entered his room, and I went over to sit on the chair at his desk while he sat on his bed. For some strange reason, he was being extra flirty to me today. I decided to play along, not like anything could be harmed, right?
"So..." He started, with a flirty smile on his lips. "I'm really bored right now. You wanna do anything, Peyton?" I looked at him suspiciously, but answered him anyway. "Yea, I guess. What is there to do...?"
Our eyes continued to stare into one another's, before he stood up and walked towards me. In a few seconds, I felt the desk bump into my lower back. We then found ourselves really close to each other, so close that if we moved our lips would touch. "Fuck it," he whispered before he smashed his lips against mine.
Things got out of hand quickly, because the next thing we knew, our bodies were pressed tightly together. We proceeded to head towards the bed, but being too caught up in the moment, he located our bodies towards the wall instead and pushed my body against it. We detached our lips to catch some air, and he took off his shirt. Our lips attached in an instant.
All of a sudden, the door busted open with a loud bang, causing us to pull apart. But it was too late for us to cover up what just happened between the both of us.
