I will try and upload before spring break, but if I can’t I’m sorry. This Thursday I’m going to New York with my choir and I probably wont be able to upload until next like Tuesday or something.

I stood in the dark room for minutes, just holding the shirt Landon gave me to my chest. I held up the fabric to my nose and breathed in his familiar scent. I smiled as the comforting aroma filled my nostrils. Taking in a deep breath, I peered over to the now shut door. Every second I waited for Landon to come barging back in and finally kiss me, but I knew he wouldn’t.

Sighing, I dropped the fabric to the floor and pulled my shirt over my head. Next I slipped off my pants and pulled his huge shirt over. It came to the very top of my thighs, and the long sleeves ended way past my fingertips. The material was fuzzy and warm as I slipped into the queen bed and placed my head against the firm pillow.

What was I thinking coming here?

Landon’s POV

I trudged into my bedroom with clenched fists. After tossing all my clothes on the ground, besides my boxers, I walked over to my bed and fell down onto the familiar sheets. My head buzzed with thoughts I had never even knew existed before. Since when did I let a girl get to me this much?

I told myself I would never ever fall for a girl, at least not yet. Why did she make everything different? She was the reason for the funny feelings, and the racing heart. God I sound like a little girl. But she was also the reason for the pain.

Derek. I knew the kid. Yeah, he really knows how to get under my skin, and yet this time he did it without even knowing he was. It’s all her fault.

Rolling over and pulling my comforter over my head, I tried to think of anything but Mia. It was impossible though, she was right in the room next to me. I could just go in and tell her how I feel, it would be that easy. But then that would mean commitment, and dragging her into my messed up life and no one deserved that.

Sighing, I rolled onto my side and buried my face in the pillow. Taking in a deep breath, I squished my face in even harder before letting out all of my frustration. The shout was muffled enough, and by the time I came back up for air I could feel the little slits in my hands from squeezing my fists so tight.

Rolling over onto my back, I looked up at the ceiling and tried to shut my eyes. Every now and then I would drift off and almost fall asleep but then something would wake me up. Finally, I decided that just staring at the ceiling was better than trying to get any sleep, because it obviously wasn’t going to happen.

I peeked over at my balcony door that seemed to be beckoning me. A smile crept across my face as I slipped out of bed and stretched out my legs. Every time I couldn’t sleep my balcony would always be there.

Walking across my room, I grabbed the slider door and slid it open. A warm summer breeze greeted me as I stepped outside. Smiling at the black of night, I sat down in my tanning chair and let the warm wind blow over my chest and the rest of my mostly unclothed body.

That’s when I saw it, the slightest movement to the right. Heart thumping, my head snapped in the direction only to see Mia curled up in a blanket sitting on the other side of the balcony. She was staring at me motionless and a little scared looking.

I forgot her balcony is shared with mine.

“Couldn’t sleep?” I called over once I knew she wasn’t going to say anything.

I could practically see the bags under her eyes. I probably looked the same way, I guess we both had something to toss and turn over. She nodded her head and looked out over my backyard. Her profile was beautiful, and her tangled mess of auburn hair swayed with the gentle wind.

She looked back at me once she noticed I was staring at her. Smiling, I pointed out towards the sky. “See any constellations?” I asked looking up at the starry night.

There were always millions of starts out at this time. Now nearby city lights drowned out the tiny little suns.

“I see the big dipper I think,” she finally said.

The sound of her tired sleepy voice made my skin crawl with delight. Everything about Mia made me happy, the way she was so stubborn with everything, the way she was never afraid to tell me how things were.

Finally, out of my daze I nodded my head. “Yeah the one all the way to the left is the big dipper.”

After those words left my mouth, silence filled the night and we both gazed up at the stars. Every single one of them was so bright and beautiful, just like Mia. And as cheesy and cliché as that sounded, it was true.

Standing up, I padded over to where she was curled up on the ground and plopped down next to her. The warmth of her body wrapped up in a blanket radiated off onto my skin. Still aware of the fact that I only had on boxers, I tried not to make any physical contact with Mia.

She looked at me like I was crazy as I settled myself in. Once I was comfortable, I reached for her hand and put mine over it. She pulled back at first, but I tightened my grip and pointed her arm up towards the sky.

“You see that star formation there?” I asked her; even though I knew she didn’t see it because she was still busy looking at me like I was on drugs.

Still slightly stunned, she tipped her head up and pulled her gaze away from me. I fiddled with her small fingers in my hand until I had her pointer in the direction of the constellation. When finally I thought she was focused enough, I asked, “What do you see?”

My words hung in the air as she studied the formation. Her eyes squinted up at the sky and I knew she saw it just like me and my little brother could. “Well, what do you see?” I urged her on.

She let out a shaky laugh. “I think I might be crazy but to me it looks like a turtle.”

Her cheeks flamed red after she spoke and I couldn’t help but admire how adorable she was. Smiling, I dropped her hand and turned my attention towards her eyes. “That’s exactly what I see. Me and my little brother saw it once last summer, and we named it and everything. I just wanted to see if you could see it too.”

She looked back up at the sky and then back at me. Taking in the beauty of her face this close was almost like the first time I saw her except, only better. The first time I saw her I thought she was just going to be like one of the many girls I had been with, but actually knowing her was a relief.

And then my eyes zeroed in on her rosy lips. God how I wanted to kiss her here, right now. Naturally, my mouth parted just a little as I leaned in closer. The smell of her flower perfume filled my nose and only made her so much more irresistible. All the thoughts of caution flew out my head as I moved closer and closed any of the space that was between us.

At first when my lips met hers she stiffened in surprise, but then as I brought my hand to the back of her head she relaxed and kissed me back. The taste of her mouth on mine was almost intoxicating. Hardly able to think rational thoughts, we both moved to the ground where her blanket was now sprawled out. Hovering over her, I brought my hands down to her hips and kissed her harder. Taking my mouth off hers, I moved down to her neck and a little gasp escaped her lips. Smirking against her perfect skin, one of my hands snaked up the back of the shirt I borrowed her. The feel of her warm skin against my rough hand was amazing, and soon enough her legs were wrapped around my torso, and her arms were linked around my neck.

The feel of her body pressed against mine made me moan in delight, and even though I had gone much further than this with other girls, this felt like something I had never experienced before. My tongue explored the inside of her mouth as her hands trailed across my back and muscled arms. And then, all my sense flew right back into my head and I pulled away so fast Mia yelled in surprise. She detached herself from me and laid back onto the blanket. We were both breathing hard as I scrambled to my feet.

What are you thinking Landon! This is what you were trying to avoid!!!

I tried to speak, so say anything but nothing came out. Mia looked just as flustered as me, and we both stared at each other in a loss for words. I turned towards my bedroom door and swore under my breath. What the hell got into me? That wasn’t supposed to happen!

We both started speaking at the same time but my words came out louder and sterner. “Look just forget that happened, that was a mistake.”

A look of hurt immediately filled Mia’s eyes as I turned to face her. Her shirt was crooked, one of the shoulders had slipped off and it was ruffled to the point that her stomach was showing. Her sexy black underwear was now even more visible, and I had to fight the urge to kiss her once again. God how I wanted to kiss her again. But I couldn’t, that wouldn’t be fair to either of us, but mostly her.

“I—“

“Look I’m sorry, that shouldn’t of happened.”

Without another word, I swung around and headed for my room. Once I got a hold of the sliding door, I slipped in and slammed it shut as hard as I could. I immediately headed for the bathroom, while slipping off my boxers and turned on the shower once I was inside. Needing to get the intoxicating smell of Mia off me, I jumped in before it was even hot and let the water wash away everything until I was numb.

Once I had enough of the cold water, I reached up and turned off the water. Slumping down to the bottom of the shower, I put my head in my hands and a silent tear escaped my eyes. I couldn’t remember the last time I cried, but I knew it had never been over a girl.

Okay I know it’s kinda short but it sher is a juicy chapter! Don’t hate me for ending there!
