Happy Valentines Day Everyone! Also Happy Birthday to my brother, Michael!In honor of V-Day I'm participating in the Just Kiss Already Blogfest hosted by the fabulous Christina Lee and Stina!!! And I had NO time to write this, so it's super quick and rough--but hope you enjoy!
The lights dimmed and the giant vat of popcorn appeared on the screen. The movie would start any minute and I had NO idea what to do. Sean’s hand splayed across the armrest between us and I could feel the tiniest bit of heat from him. He was almost, but not quite touching my arm.
If I moved my arm closer to his arm, would he notice? Or not? It was just an inch of space, or maybe more like a half inch or a centimeter. Crap, I never really could judge distances that well. But he was close. Really close. And if I touched my arm to his and he didn’t notice I would die. And if I touched my arm to his and he DID notice I would die. But if I touched him and he pulled away, I would REALLY die.
Also, the fact that I was staring at the space between our arms for this long was really getting creepy. Even worse, Sean seemed to have noticed.
“Sara,” he whispered.
“Yeah.”
“Popcorn?” He shoved the tub under my nose.
“Um, sure,” I mumbled, stuffing a handful in my mouth. A few pieces spilled from my hand and rolled down my shirt. Now THAT was sexy. Also, it kind of burned.
Sean laughed. “I think you got some in your hair.”
“What?” I wriggled in my seat, hoping the popcorn would fall out of my shirt. But Sean was suddenly close. Very close. His fingers were running through my hair. And our arms were definitely touching.
“Did you get it?” I asked, holding my breath.
“I don’t know. I’d better check the other side,” he said, turning my head.
Our lips brushed.
That was definitely on purpose!
His fingers curled in my hair and he pulled me closer. He smelled like cologne. And butter. And boy. Our lips touched, but neither of us moved.
“Get it?” I breathed.
“Not even close,” he said, sealing his lips against mine.
His arm pressed against mine as our mouths moved together.
Yep. Definitely touching…
Ok, that's it! Happy Kissing!
I loved it. It was so cute yet hot. :D
ReplyDeleteJust darling... LOVE it!!!

I LOVE all the ways she figures she would die. Of course I've never been a young woman, but even young guys think like that sometimes.
ReplyDeleteWell done Frankie, happy VD!
awe, this was really sweet! I loved her voice! Great excerpt!
ReplyDelete“Get it?” I breathed.
ReplyDelete“Not even close,” he said, sealing his lips against mine.
Now THAT's a wonderful line!
Aw, I LOVE Sara's voice and they're just adorable!
ReplyDeleteOh, sweet! That was a tasty kiss.
ReplyDeleteVery innocent and sweet. And he was definitely sexy.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I loved the voice in this so much!
ReplyDeleteAnd seriously, I think butter-scented cologne would be a huge seller, if someone gave it a channce. lol
This was excellent. You pulled me in right away.
ReplyDeleteSo very cute. Love her overdramatic inner dialogue focusing on the space between them. That was fun and then the popcorn part is just priceless. Adorable kiss for the blogfest.
ReplyDeleteHe smelled like cologne, butter, and boy! Love this.
ReplyDeleteI am dating myself here but whenever I think about my teenage kisses and think of how a boy smelled, I think of Drakkar Noir. Yum.
I loved the popcorn falling down the front of her shirt. Your MC's voice is great...I liked her right away.
ReplyDeleteEdge of Your Seat Romance
Lovely build up! It was sweet and innocent and funny and exhilarating all at once.
