The Kiss

What gave me the courage to run out? How could I be so sure that he would follow me? I tightened my grip. I really needed this hug. He is the only one who will understand me. I didn't want to let go but we had to get inside before someone notices out absence. There are times I don't need words to express myself. I let go off him and turned to go back inside. He pulled me back into his arms, I couldn't hold it in anymore.

"I am going to lose Ashley. She is going to be happy and I will be all alone in this world. I don't think I can survive without her." I said in one breath.

He just held me in his arms. No words, just a hug. And it meant more to me. The hug was an assurance that I had him. That he was going to be there for me.

"I will never leave you." He said and loosened his grip. "Let's get inside" he added.

I smiled to myself as i led us inside. I am losing Ashley and getting Alex. That's great!

I don't think anyone noticed our absence because the nearly engaged couple were still on the dance floor. I felt shy to even look at Alex. What is wrong with me?

The next on the list was spin the bottle game. I have never attended a party of this sort. Activity packed and a whole lot. Ashley who should be by my side is nowhere to be found. She can't be too busy to forget I came here with her. So the ladies sat in a circular form and the guys took their turns in spinning. Thankfully Alex didn't spin, I was happy. I couldn't imagine him kissing someone in my presence. And fortunately for me the bottle didn't fall on me. Just when we thought the game was over, I saw Alex take the bottle from one of the guys, he looked in my direction and smiled. I just wished it fell on me or else I will die today. Alex can't kiss anyone. Whether a game or not he is all mine.

I was lost in my thoughts that I didn't even notice when Alex walked to me. I felt him lift me and pull me close. He held me by the waist and smiled looking directly into my eyes. I mouthed "I am shy" and he smirked. Ashley and Johnny were still not around. I closed my eyes tightly waiting for his kiss. He gave me a peck on the lips. I was disappointed. Seriously?! He kissed better than this and I know it.

"That's not a kiss" one of the guys said.

"Yes" the rest of the people roared.

I owe all these people a lot. They just spoke my thoughts. He wasn't getting away with this. I looked at him and smiled. He drew me close and brought his head down.

" I pray for self control. I don't want to do anything crazy here." He said against my lips.

Before I could reply him, he took my lips with his. I don't know how long it took but I didn't want it to

end. He ended it slowly. I opened my eyes to see everyone looking at us weirdly.

"It's just a game let's get to the poolside and cool our temperatures." The mcee said as he led them out.
