"Did you seriously do that?", Kenzie squealed excitedly from the other end of the phone.
"Yeah, and it was fun to see her go all red out of embarrassment", I said.
"That sounds nice", Kenzie yawned.
"Ok now go sleep", I said.
"Hmmm, good night", Kenzie mumbled sleepily.
I chuckled and cut the call.
I wasn't that tired to be honest. I took out Eat Pray Love from my bag and started reading when I heard something outside.
I thought it was a knock on my door so I went up to open it, only to be greeted by a stupid grin, that belonged to no one other than Elijah.
I was about to shut the door on his face but he held it open with his hands.
"Hi Harper", he slurred.
Oh come on, I never wanted to deal with normal Elijah, now I have to deal with drunk Elijah. Life really hates me.
"Yes Elijah?", I said.
He came in and stood very near to my face.
"Damn you're hot", he said, fanning my face with his sour breath.
"I imagined a much hotter person saying that to me but you just ruined that dream", I replied.
"Babe, who could be hotter than me?", he came closer.
"How about anyone else in existence?", I replied.
"You're sassy", he tried to wrap his arms around me but I backed away, "I like sassy girls",
"You already said that", I replied.
Elijah went up to my bed and faceplanted on it.
"Join me baby", he slurred.
"No thanks, I'm good standing far far away from you", I said.
Elijah was mumbling in his sleep when I took my book and my iPod and left the room. I was not going to wake him up, or go near any part of him.
I went downstairs to the pool and sat there with my legs dipped in the heated pool. I emphasize on "heated pool".
Harper you're still broke.
Shut up, mind.
I was enjoying Dance Monkey when I suddenly felt someone take out one of my earbuds and I jolted in surprise.
"Dance Monkey, haven't heard that in a long time", I heard Will's annoying voice say.
"Hello to you to", I replied, taking off my headphones.
"I see you're still wearing my t-shirt", he sat down next to me, dipping his legs in the water like me and bumped my shoulder, "You know, you just have to ask if you want me in bed, I'll give you the entire package, not only the t-shirt",
"Stop your shameless flirting", I rolled my eyes at him, "Kat stole my t-shirt without telling me and I had nothing to wear as a top",
"You could have just gone on without one", he smirked at me.
I smacked him on the head, making him chuckle.
"Drunk Elijah is asleep on my bed, so I had to escape", I groaned.
"Forget Elijah, you up for a midnight swim?", With that he took of his shirt and slid into the water.
"Nah, I'd rather not get drowned by you right now", I said.
"The water's warm and it feels good", Will moaned.
"That's not helping", I cringed.
"Please", he pleaded with puppy dog eyes.
"Fine", I groaned as to how I gave in that fast. Damn Will and his gorgeous yet awful face.
I slid into the warm water and it seemed to calm my senses a bit.
I lay backwards in the water, allowing the chlorine to soak through my hair.
It was peaceful until Will splashed water on my face.
I lost my balance and tilted over in the water, almost drowning.
I rose up, coughing and spluttering.
"Revenge is sweet", he smirked with a malicious glint in his eyes.
"Oh it is on", I said as I started splashing waves of water on him, acting like I was stronger than him, but the truth always catches up to you.
Will splashed the water on me with his big muscular arms, which without a doubt were sturdier than my flabby ones.
I quickly took a breath and went under the water but Will seized me by the arm and lifted me back up again.
"NO WAY, am I falling for that again!", he exclaimed while picking me up bridal style and spun me around, making my head spin.
"STOP!", I kept yelling and laughing at the same time.
When he finally heeded to my cries, he stopped. My head was spinning so bad right now, I felt like I was about to faint.
I looked up at Will's dark blue eyes staring back into mine and I felt something. It was the tiniest feeling, but it was there, a fluttery feeling in the pit of my stomach, almost like butterflies but
I could just be feeling nauseous, I thought. However, this wasn't nausea, because it was making me smile. By the look on Will's face, he was feeling it too.
*****
I stepped into the comfort of my room and slumped on the bed. Home sweet home I thought giddily. Now I'm going to bury myself in this bed and make up for the sleep that I lost because of drunk Elijah drooling on my bed. I almost dozed off when Kat came into the room squealing.
"Harper! Harper! Harper!", she squealed, jumping up and down on my bed.
"Get out!", I slammed a pillow on her face without opening my eyes. She went silent. Well that did it.
I was going to resume to my slumber when I felt a huge weight press up on me.
When did Kat get so heavy?
I cracked open a lid to see brown eyes staring back into mine.
"Hey Kiddo", Liam grinned.
I went back under my covers.
"I'm too tired to hug you right now", I groaned.
He wrapped his arms around me, "If you don't, I'm gonna squeeze you to death", he threatened playfully.
I smiled and wrapped my arms around him.
"I missed you Bubba", I said.
"Group hug!", Kat said and jumped in.
"KAT!", I yelped in pain, "I can't breathe",
"Sorry", Kat grinned sheepishly.
"It's ok kitten, I have a hug reserved just for you", Liam said, pulling away from me and opening his arms wide open for Kat, "Bring it in."
Kat jumped on him but he barely stumbled, but I mean Kat is really freakishly skinny. Unlike me.
Liam Jones AKA Bubba, was my older brother, who had been away to college for years and now he was back. Liam and I had always been close. He, like dad he had a knack of giving us nicknames, and he was good at it too, Kiddo and Kitten. We hadn't spared him either, we call him Bubba and he hates it.
"When did you get here?", I asked, sitting up.
"Just now", he replied, letting go of Kat, "Where are mom and dad?"
"Mom just dragged dad with her for tea with the Greens", Kat made a sipping motion with her hands.
"The Greens? You mean like Kiddo's boyfriend, Will Green?", Liam said.
Kat nodded.
"Hold up", I interrupted, "Since when is Will, my boyfriend?", I looked at both of them.
"Ever since he threw that shoe at your cake at your birthday", Liam said.
"No, no, no, no", I chuckled, "That's when he became my archenemy".
"Why so much denial Kiddo?", Liam smirked.
"I take it back, I will never in a million years miss you ever again", I pouted.
"Of course you won't", Liam smirked, "Nor will you miss the gifts I bough-",
I jumped on him, "WHERE ARE MY GIFTS?!", I shook him vigorously by the collar.
"Geez Kiddo, Relax", He pulled himself out of my grasp.
The doorbell interrupted us.
All of us ran downstairs expecting mom and dad at door.
Kat opened the door to reveal my worst nightmare.
Mason was standing at door, looking as perfect as always.
Then I realized what I was wearing.
I immediately hid behind Liam's towering figure.
"Hey Harper", Mason smiled. Oh God I'm going to melt.
"H-h-hi Mason", I peeked from behind Liam, "Bubba, meet Mason and Mason, meet Bubba", with that I rushed up the stairs.
Mental note: I need to get cuter pajamas.
I started rummaging through my closet for a better outfit.
Why on earth am I wearing coconut themed stuff?
Then I heard a knock on my door.
I knew this wasn't anyone from my family since they were too savage to know how to knock.
"May I come in?", Mason asked.
"Just a second, I just-", I tripped on the rug on the floor and faceplanted with a crash.
Mason burst in to see me on the floor.
"Harper! Are you okay!?", He rushed over to me to help me off the floor.
My crush walked in to see me in coconut themed pajamas, and now he's helping me off the floor after I faceplanted.
Any other reason needed for me to wear a bag over my head, bury myself a grave, get in it and DIE?
"Oh shit, Harper, I think you have a nosebleed!",
Goodbye world. It was nice knowing you.
"Ok, no you don't, your nose is just really red", he restated.
Well, the universe doesn't hate me that much atleast.
Mason helped me off the floor.
He looked so perfect, his blonde hair was slightly messy, shading his stormy grey eyes. He was clad in jeans and a red t shirt that hugged his body, defining the muscles underneath them and heavenly deodorant that made me want to drown in the scent.
Then there was me, my unruly brown hair was frizzier than ever, my crinkled coconut themed pajamas, my stubbly legs in display and smelling like god knows what. I didn't even have a proper bra on!
"What's wrong?", Mason asked.
"Nothing", I mumbled.
"Are you sure?",
"No, I'm not", I snapped, "I'm standing here looking goofy and weird and then there's you looking all hot and perfect",
Then I realized that I said that out loud.
Mason's eyes widened and his lips crept up into a playful grin.
"Hot and perfect?", he said teasingly.
"No, no don't look at me", I covered my face with my hands.
Mason's hand crept around my waist pulling me against himself.
We were so close, our noses were almost touching.
His scent was making me go crazy and the warmth that I could feel radiating from his body was making my mind go hazy.
"Did you know that you're so beautiful and adorable that you make my heart go crazy?", he said, fanning my face with his minty breath.
"Um-I-i-i didn't know that", I said, trying to form words.
He tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear, his hand travelled to my cheek, as he caressed it.
Then, he enveloped my lips in his.
At that moment, nothing could have been more perfect. Even if a meteor had landed and wiped out the entire universe, it would've still been perfect.
The kiss was soft and gentle, yet firm.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and his hands went to my waist, pulling me deeper into the kiss.
I had so many questions about having my first kiss. How am I supposed to breathe? What if my breath smells bad? What if my lips are too chapped? How do I move my lips? Can I breathe through my nose? Would that be too weird?
But at that point of time, nothing really mattered. All I could focus on was his peppermint flavored lips and his hands on me.
When we pulled away, I couldn't stop the smile spreading across my face as we rested our foreheads against each other.
"Kiddo! mom and dad are home!", I heard Liam yell from downstairs.
"I guess I gotta go meet the parents," Mason said as he walked towards the door.
"Um-sure yeah y-you should go do that", I said, barely managing to get a word out with a permanent grin plastered on my face.
Smiling at me, he closed the door and left.
I let out sigh and sat down on the bed to catch my breath.
I just had my first kiss. And it was Awesome.
