Walking home with my family, I could hardly focus on anything other than the memory of Adam's kiss on my cheek. It was such a strange, surreal moment.
It had happened right in front of his family, my family, and even though it was chaste at best, the whole world had seemed to stop for a second. The way he leaned in, the warmth of his lips—everything had felt so intense. I couldn't believe it actually happened. I still couldn't believe his audacity.
I sighed now as I remembered the looks that had overtaken the faces of the people around.
Adam's brothers had looked aghast. Daniel had been boiling with anger, for one. The same was Claire's situation. But that had been expected. Only Naomi had seemed pleased, if the tiny smile on her lips had been any indication.
I wondered now though, if she ever thought of Maya, if she ever thought that she was betraying Maya, by supporting the motion of Adam and I dating.
