It was Friday night. I was just about to leave school to go home. Beth was at a friends for the weekend so, I could have an extra hour at school to finish the remaining of my homework before the weekend.
I was turning the corner when without warning I slammed into someone, knocking what sounded like their phone out of their hands. There was an embarrassing smash. While trying to recover myself
"OH! My god your pho-" They cut me off "Nah it's alright" and bent down to pick it up. I know that voice "Aha. I needed a new one anyways" I was looking into the eyes of "Kai?" "Lewis!"
He stood there grinning, looking down then at me. I had no idea what to say. What about 'hey, you know your sudden return into my life has brought all my psychopathic romantic feeling for you rushing back don't you? You wouldn't mind in letting me decapitate you to feel better would you? No, I couldn't. Could I?
"Wha-" It was my turn to cut him off. "I can replace that. If you don't mind, I mean..." I trailed off, why do I feel guilty about offering to get him a new phone, I did break it, well kinda. "No, seriously it's fine". He was looking right into my eyes, never wavering. My heart is thumping in my ears.
"I heard you moved back to Liverpool" I began. "Yeah , well here I am" He laughed. This was too weird. It was actually the longest conversation we'd ever had. "Well I was just about to head home, what are you up to?" I immediately regretted it. Why on earth would I ask that? 'ooh what are you up to?'
"Uhh yeah going home too, are you parked out front?" The inquiry was unexpected, but sweet. "No I'm at the activity centre, you?" I liked talking to Lewis "I'm being picked up, are you going to Charlotte's party tomorrow?" I wish this would never end. His presence was intoxicating to me, like no time passed.
"Yeah Izzy's actually making me help set up, see you there?" He smiles at me. That charismatic smile. "Absolutely" And with that he walked past me to the front of the school. Those might have been the most execrating few moments of my life, so far. I still had tomorrow.
➰➰
Earlier today Izzy and I spent hours selecting the perfect party ensembles for the all awaited rave , that in fact starts in just a few hours. I was at Charlotte's (Izzy's friend) house, eating gummy bears while sitting at the kitchen island to be exact. In fact I had a small thing with her, long over now.
I had decided on a multicoloured two piece and my favourite bandana over my braids. Since it was a UV light party i figured something with more skin would be more fun. One of the party's main events is painting on each other which i am looking forward to.
"Don't eat all of them jeez" Laughed Charlotte. She wasn't like Izzy or her friends. They were shallow and narcissistic, but Charlotte was kind and selfless. I was always smiling around her, everyone was.
"It's not like anyone actually eats them, besides you have plenty of food" I continued to pop the bears into my mouth. Izzy and Sam walked in carrying the packs of alcohol, setting the crates down next to the door. As they came into the kitchen Charlotte went up to Sam and kissed him, they were actually a cute couple, and the most stable one in our year.
When they broke apart sam looked at me. "Jealous?" He asked.
"Yes actually" His cheeks went pink and i grinned at him. "Let me know when you get tired of him yeah?" I winked at Charlotte and everyone but Sam burst out laughing. "It's ok she's only joking" Sam turned his reddened face back to his girlfriend. It was way too much fun making boyfriends insecure, but Sam is just too easy.
"What shall we do till people start arriving?" Izzy asked beside me. "Paint". The buckets were outside on top of a large plastic sheet. The sun was almost down so we still had a bit of light left to see before the outside lights turned on. Charlotte had replaces the bulbs so the paint would light up inside and out and there was a DJ was setting up with another guy from my year, Harry.
I was actually looking forward to tonight, so i was going to ignore everyone who posed a threat to that happiness. Including Lewis.
➰➰
The sun was down, lights were on, dj was playing, and no one was standing around bored or awkward, to my knowledge. It was a success. Izzy and i were currently partying senseless in the crowd, there was nothing that i was worried about in this moment.
I didn't know where Cedar was, not since he briefly told me to not tell dad, whatever that meant. He was probably off with some girl i would run into later in the week, her act really awkward and me be completely oblivious.
It's not like i would tell dad, or that he'd even care for that matter. If anything he's usually proud of us for 'experiencing life' which i have no objections to. He was only obsessed with the family image, pregnancies and such.
"I'm going to the toilet" Izzy shouted to me to which i nodded in response. Sweater Weather by the Neighbourhood came on and i looked up, i loved this song. I looked around me, feeling the music, and as the song faded to the 'it's so cold' verse i stopped. Lewis was blissfully staring at me form other end of the room.
I held the eye contact, and somehow found myself just feet away from him. I could feel his breath on my face, see the very life in his eyes, almost hear his heart beating above the loud music. I was too drunk to be thinking.
It was just something that made me always draw me to him and i loved everything about it. It was the perfect moment.
Before i knew it i grabbed his jumper and pulled him down towards me so our faces were millimetres apart. His eyes were filled with surprise, but only for mere seconds. He crashed his lips to mine hungrily, stealing all the breath out of my lungs.
He wrapped his arms around my waist while my fists stayed clung to his jumper. This kiss felt real, though it might just be the fluids. It made me melt and a tingling sensation waved over my body leaving electricity beat my heart faster.
Every time he moved his hands it sent shivers up my spine, pulling me closer, deepening the kiss. I could feel feel smile before he abruptly lifted me up and set me down on a tall thin table against the wall, knocking something to the ground. Neither of us stopped.
He roamed my mouth freely, exploring every nerve and crevice. I wrapped my legs around his torso, dragging him in. His hands moved to my thighs, mine now playing with his hair.
He finally pulled away from my lips, causing me to whimper, but kept them lingering on my skin. He began kissing down my jawline reaching my collarbone. I tilted my head back, grinning and breathing heavily, allowing his lips to graze along my neck.
All of a sudden i felt Izzy' s ringtone from my back pocket. I regretfully pull it out. The text reads 'i need you. im in the bathroom'. I sigh and grip my phone. Lewis looks back up at me then down to the phone.
"Due need to get tha?. I smiled at his accent. "Could be nothin" he trailed my jawline with his finger. I closed my phone and looked up at him "I will be right back i promise' I kiss him on the nose. He laughed once and i ran off to the bathroom.
