The Heart Of Everything

4. Like you didn't like it

Kim has avoided me for over a week after what happened in the car. She doesn't say anything when I tease her and it's irritating me. I like when she looks annoyed, but now she just watches me with a blank face. No matter what I say, she just ignores me. I feel like an i***t for saying this, but I think I miss our small fights. We have had them since we were kids and now that it is gone, it is killing me.

As I turn around, I see Lizzy.

"Goddamn." I whisper to myself and start walking into the bathroom like last time.

"Are you stalking me?" I hear and smile as I recognize that soft voice. I met her eyes and smile for what feels like years. The last time she spoke to me was in the car and I can feel the relief in my heart. Not long after her eyes hardened like she just remembers that she is supposed to be angry with me. She starts walking towards the door and me.

"Move." She tells me harshly, but I stand my ground.

"Do you want me to kick you in the leg again?" I smile, god I have missed her annoyance. She looks so cute...

"What is wrong with you?" Kim asks irritated, and I shake my head coming back to reality.

"You are what's wrong with me!" I say angry and she rolls her eyes.

"Grow up, Sam." She says and tries to push me away.

"I am not sure if you are the right one to say that." I tell her and measuring our heights. She pushes me by the shoulders and I hit the door with my back.

"Can you just stop?" She yells, I can't but smile of her anger. She grabs me by the shirt so hard that I have to lean down.

"Stop, bothering me from now on, okay?" The fury in her face makes me grin, god she looks so adorable.

"What if I won't?" I whisper.

"You asshole!" She yells and starts hitting and pushing me on the shoulders. God, I have never seen her so angry before. I am not sure, if there is something else on her mind or if I am just really an asshole to her.

"Calm down." I say, trying to take her arms in my hands, but I can't. I cup her cheeks and put my lips on hers. Goddammit, she is going to hate me so much more now. I just needed to make her calm down and this was the only way I could think of. I move my lips to hers, gently, but then she kisses me back roughly. She starts to suck on my lower lip making fires between my thighs and I can feel the weakness in my knees. Kim moves back fast with widened eyes.

"What the hell are you doing?" She yells. I take a step back, a little amazed by everything. Her lips were so soft and tasteful and the feeling in my body screams for more.

"Hello!" Then I feel a slap on my cheek.

"Wh-What?" I tremble. Kim rolls her eyes in annoyance.

"Why did you do that?" She says, waving her hands in the air, irritated. I shake my head and blink my eyes to come back to reality. Its Kimmie that is in front of you, you stupid head. I give her a crooked smile.

"Like you didn't like it." I tell her teasing with a huge grin on my face. Her eyes widen with anger.

"No, I didn't!" She shouts and pushes me in the shoulders again. I just can't give up the smile on my face.

"Then why did you kiss me back?" I ask with a raised eyebrow, making my point. She bits her inner cheeks and wrinkles her nose.

"I hate you so much!" She starts to hit me again and it makes me laugh, but then she kicks me in the leg. I wince but keep on standing. The fury burst out in my veins of the pain. I turn us around as I grab her hands and pin them to the door over her head.

"Calm down!" I yell. She shrinks and looks down at the floor.

"Let me go." She says calmly, and I let her go right away. We both take a deep breath and stand in an awkward silence. I just kissed the girl that I have known since I can remember, the girl that I have been teasing since day one. Kimmie and I have never really had any other contact besides mocking each other, but now I kissed her and it was weird a good weird. I sigh and rub my neck in frustration.

"Why did you do it?" Kim asks while looking down at the floor.

"I panicked." I shrug. I kind of did panic when she couldn't calm herself down. She was so angry. Kimmie nods and looks behind her at the door.

"I need to go to class." She says without looking at me as she walks out the door.

"You okay, Sam?" I hear dad ask from across the dinner table. We are both eating breakfast together. It is not often we do that. I smile and nod to him.

After I kissed Kim about two weeks ago, things have been weird. I can't stop thinking about it and I have avoided her as much as possible. Looking at her makes my head turn upside down and my heart starts to tickle.

"You sure?" He asks more worried.

"You have been off for a while now." I sigh and look at him a little irritated.

"Yes, I am sure." I say and walk away from the table.

"You haven't eaten up!" I hear him yell as I close the door behind me.

I step into the familiar school, I have been going for years, but the tension is different. It has been strange since I put my lips on Kimmie's. My mood has been low, and the smile on my face that I get almost every day by our teasing is gone. It is so depressing going to school without the orange haired mocking me back or even kick me.

I don't understand how I can miss it so much, maybe because she has always been there and now she isn't. I sigh and step over to my locker. There is no green-eyed in sight, I am not sure if it is a good thing or not. I take out some books, preparing for class.

"Why so grumpy?" I smile, of the soft voice as I close the locker. I turn to her and my eyes look her up and down. She rolls her eyes as I take in her cuteness. Her green eyes, her long orange-red hair. The soft lips that not long ago I tasted, her shortness and skinniness. I shake my head, never have I ever thought about her as beautiful.

"Don't tell me you are going to give me one of your short jokes." She tells me annoyed by me looking at her. I grin at her words.

"No, I think they have shortened out." I joke. Kim rolls her eyes and hit me in the shoulder. I smile as she turns to her locker. The tenseness in my body is gone and the happiness of having fun with her is back. She gives me an angry side-glance as I stare at her, but I notice something else too.

"You're smiling." I mock and point at her. Not long after the smile fades and she turns fully to me as she closes the locker.

"No, I am not." She says irritated and I start to laugh.

"Yes, you are!" I tell amused and her eyes narrowed. She starts to hit me again.

"Stop." I say and defend myself. She snorts.

"What you gonna do? Kiss me again?" She says angrily and I feel her hand hit me on the side my neck.

"Do you want me to?" I tease, and still, she keeps on trying to hit me in the face.

"GOD NO!" She shouts, making some people in the hallway look at us. Kim starts to hit harder by the anger I caused in her.

"S-stop." I laugh, but then I grab her hand that was on its way to hit me in the face. I feel the blood in me boil. She almost hit me in the face and that would have hurt from the force I felt in my hand. We usually end up fighting, but not like this. Now it is starting to get over the line. Then I feel a slap on my other cheek with her free hand. My skin burns of the sting and I feel the anger in my body.

"What the hell?" I yell loud, thank god, that most have gone to their classes now. I think our fighting has made my ears go numb to the bell. Kimmie's eyes widen as I grab her free hand and push her into the locker. Pinning her hands over her head like last time.

"Do you always have to hurt me?" I ask shouting, looking down at her with fury in my eyes.

"Yes, because you are a pain in the ass!" She yells back. I bit my inner cheeks with anger.

"And you started!" She points out. Why do I always have to get the blame, she is the one that always hit and kick me. I have never done that to her.

"You hit me in the face!" I argue and she smiles.

"And like I don't get it enough from Lizzy." I tell gritting my teeth. She still has the smile on her face and it annoys the s**t out of me. I wince as I feel her kick me in the knee again, but I am not letting her go. She keeps on kicking me.

"Let me go!"

"Calm down then." I say and clench my teeth. God damn, she is so stubborn, always has been. She shakes her whole body.

"If you don't stop I am going kiss you again!" I yell angrily.

"No you won..." I do. I cup her cheeks and lean down to put my lips on hers. She was as soft and tasteful like last time. I suck on the lower lip like she did to me when I felt the fire between my legs. Kim grabs the shirt on my shoulders, preventing herself from falling down. I smile on her lips, as I know that I made her knees weak. I guess I am not the only one that turns memorized when we kiss.

She starts to moan, and dear god it made me want to rip off her clothes. I move my hands down on her ass to pick her up, she is too short compared to me, and my back hurts by leaning down. She moves back, just some few seconds for us to catch our breath. Then she leans her lips back on mine as she mess up my black long hair with her hands. Her touch sends shivers down my spine. I move back from her and rest my forehead on hers. She has still her eyes closed

"You wanted me to kiss you, didn't you?" I whisper teasing.

"Shut up." She says and before I know she forces her lips on mine again. If we don't stop soon, I am going to take off her clothes. She has made a spark in between my legs, and I am afraid if we don't stop, she will start a goddamn fire. I move back from her, but I really want to kiss her again. Damn you, Kimmie. She leans her forehead on mine to reach for air.

"You..."

"Shut up." She says cutting me off and I smile. She probably thought I was going to tease her or something, and she is right.

"You like me." I say and she hits me lightly on the cheek.

"I hate you." She whispers.

"No, you like me." Kimmie leans back and rolls her eyes.

"Yes, you d..." She presses my cheeks, shutting my mouth and she grins.

"Not, funny." I mumble. She shakes her head with a satisfying smile. Then she bites her lower lip while looking down on mine. I am not sure if she is teasing me, because I want to kiss more than anything right now.

"Today, princess." I mumble impatient. She looks offended by the name I gave her and hit me on the cheek lightly again. I smile of her soft touch and she roll her eyes.

"What are we going?" She whispers as she leans back down on my forehead.

"I am kissing a redhead who has a short temper, but I have no idea what you are going." I answer smiling and she snorts.

"I am kissing a black haired girl with blue eyes who likes to make me angry."

"Is that so?" I ask with raised eyebrows. She rolls her eyes with a smile. Then her eyes widen.

"Oh my god! I am kissing you!" She moves in my arms and I let her down. I look at her confused and then she points at me.

"I'm kissing you." She looks almost shocked, her eyes wandering around the hallway. Then she starts walking away from me. I scratch my head in confusion as she steps around the corner.
