We Stitch These Wounds
Chapter 9 - The Kiss
"Wait, you're telling me he took this out of your car, so it wouldn't work, so he could walk you home?" Said Kellin from behind the open hood of the car, he slammed it down and wiped his hands on his jeans, "Genius!" I rolled my eyes as he walked round to the drivers side of the car where I was sitting with the door open and my legs hanging out the side, smoking. He took the cigarettes from me and took a drag reminding me of Andy and I sharing the smoke yesterday. It was weird how seductive the whole experience was. I hadn't stopped thinking about it since he'd left me standing on my doorstep. I had laid in bed last night just thinking about the way his hands fit perfectly in mine as he had leant in to lick me.
"Right, since you've had a pretty weird, crap week you get to pick our Saturday activities before we meet up with Vic and Andy. Seriously, anything you want to do, anything at all and we can do it." He put his forehead against mine and I looked him in the eyes. I never noticed before how his eyes shined when he was excited. I put my hands on the back of his neck and began thinking. What did I want to do? It was late November so beaches and other outside activities were off the table, I didn't want to spend loads of money at the cinema and I didn't want to sit in his all day playing video games and obviously my house was out of the question. A smile slowly spread across my face.
"I want to go bowling." Kellin moved a hair out of my face and kissed my cheek "Bowling it is, hope you know I'm going to kick your ass, Miss. Rose." He said as he climbed over me. I started the car and Kellin turned up the Blink-182 song which had just come on the radio. As we rode along the highway singing out hearts out I felt like I was finally free. I looked at Kellin. His dark hair was being blown around by the wind entering through his window, but he had a look of pure happiness on his face. This was a moment neither of us would forget any time soon.
We got to the bowling alley and played three rounds, and Kellin won all of them. He well and truly kicked my ass. As we were heading towards the exit, I noticed the old fashioned photo booth. I grabbed Kellin's hand and dragged him over. We put 5 dollars in buying us 25 shots, sat down and started pulling silly faces and trying to pull each other out of the screen. Kellin pulled on my jeans and I lost my balance and ended up sat on his lap, I draped my arms around his neck, laughing so much I couldn't breathe, I looked at him and he was laughing just as much laughing at me. I couldn't believe what was going through my mind, my head was screaming kiss him as the last five shots started being taken.
Our laughter died down a bit but we were still looking at one another.
*Flash*
The giggles turned into heavy breathing and smiles.
*Flash*
He leant his forehead against mine, his face growing a little more serious, I felt one of his hands leave my waist.
*Flash*
He pulled his forehead away and brushed some hair behind my ear with his fingertips, letting his hand rest on my neck.
*Flash*
He pulled my face closer then hesitated and stopped waiting for me to give him the okay. I pulled him in and crashed my lips to his.
