TWENTY SEVEN - FLUTTERING

Recap

"Stop making things hard for me. I'm trying to put my shit together " he said and i laughed

" I'm not at fault here " I said with a small smirk. He leaned in slowly, almost abit closer to my lips.his breath softly caressing mine.

I could feel the butterflies fluttering inside my stomach in excitement as his hands travelled up to my hair, tucking a strand behind my ear.he whispered softly

" I know- " just then he locked his lips on mine, leaving me with a dazed expression...

-----------------------------------------------------------

I blinked my eyes multiple times in astonishment. My mind seemed to have gone blank, it was as though time was frozen that moment. I could feel my adrenaline racing with pure excitement as he titled his head to one side, gently pressing his lips on mine.

I didn't kiss back.It was as though, I was still dreaming.the feeling of butterflies, the adrenaline, erratic heartbeats..it all felt surreal.

He made to pull back slowly,his hands slowly withdrawing from where the were. I may have been feeling so damn excited about this whole feeling, but I knew that the last thing I wanted right now, was him pulling away..not when I was already getting swept up.

I quickly traced my hands to his, to stop them from leaving.he paused, taking a long stare at me.his eyes seemed to hold so many emotions at a time, the feeling of love, uncertainty, longing..damn..it only made me to feel hot under his gaze.

" it's okay if..you don't want..." he was starting to say when I quickly cut him off.

" it's fine.." I said in a rushed tone

"Really..it is" I said again

he looked at me, maybe trying to look for any trace of doubt. Seeing none, he gently trailed one of his hands to squeeze mine in, his hands were smooth and soft and in between the heat of the intensity which we found ourselves in, I couldn't help but wonder how his hands could be that smooth.

His other hands worked their way to my chin, gently cupping them like they were some precious gem which were too fragile, he locked his lips on mine again.this time,titling our head the same way as our mouths moved in sync.

I ran my other hand which was free, across his neck, slowly caressing it as he nibbled gently on my lower lips.I slowly parted my lips. Earning a moan to escape as the tip of his tongue twirled on mine.

This was pure bliss.and thankfully I had been wise enough not to let him leave..he knew just how to handle this. It made me wonder how he was so much of a good kisser? Maybe I'll ask when we are done

Which is when cause I definitely know I wasn't looking forward to ending this.

He slowly stood up, pulling me along as his fingers curled around me,drapping round my torso. letting the fluttering intensify.the only thing I could focus on was his soft lips which were trapped in mine, the warm feeling of his breath seemed so destabilizing, I felt my toes curl while my whole body tingle in warmth and excitement.a low groan escaped from his lips.

He slowly pulled away, trying to grasp some air, his eyes lingered around mine as I felt my face flush up.

" that..that was amazing " he said. His voice still abit husky..

I suddenly felt flushed. I tried coming up with something to say but the words had gotten stuck in my throat..I have never been kissed like this before..this was too good to be true.

I ran my hands over my hair and did the next thing instinctively.

I bolted out again...it's like someone had sweared for me today cause, the only thing on my mind was to keep running.

That was intense, amazing..but I needed a clear head right now.I quickly ran up to class, grabbing my school bag along as I dashed out.not saying nada to anyone.

********

" stupid! Stupid!! I'm really stupid!!" This were the only words which I had spoken ever since I bolted out like that.gosh!! This was the best kiss ever and all I could do was to run away just like that.

What would dozie think of me now? First I puke on him and now we both share a delicate, addictive kiss just for me to bolt away like that?

Lord..what do I do? I whined to myself.

The door flew open and in came the grand entry of kelechi.he stared at me like I had gone insane as he asked.his gaze travelling up and down, as if he couldn't see through me

" why are you home this early?" He asked

" there's no school" came my abrupt reply which made him glare at me

" what do you mean by there is no school?" He asked and I huffed

" I mean..I don't feel too well " i replied pursing my lips. He let his gaze travel around me before resting it finally on my face

" you don't feel too well ?" He mimicked mockingly and I rolled my eyes

" why do you look so flustered? " he asked and i snapped my head at him quite shocked

" as in?"

" as in..your hair is disarranged and your uniform looks disheveled too..your facial expression looks flushed and your talking like...." he paused still looking over at me

" talking like what?" I prodded and he shrugged

" let it not be what I'm thinking sha " he replied and I laughed nervously

" think it well..you don't do it often anyway " I added and he glared at me in response making me laugh again this time alittle bit eased.

A low hit knocked the door, I got up slowly to open the door. Staring at the figure standing at the door, a small, tired smile crept up my lips as I held the door wide open in a welcoming gesture

*******

" He kissed you!!!" Annette yelled and I quickly placed my hands over her mouth to shut her up.

" sheesh .keep your voice low na.do you want kelechi to hear you?" I asked. She rolled her eyes

" oh c'mon " she said then motioned in amebo gist mode

" so tell me, you guys kissed in the music room huh?" She asked again and I nodded in reply

" yes, but I don't know..how it happened...as in..." I stuttered.Annette closed her eyes dreamily as she smiled, while I told her everything and how I ran away.

" you're not feeling fine! " she whispered yelled when I told her the part where i ran away

I rolled my eyes "I told you so..now I don't know what to do " I cried into my blankets

" what were you thinking? "

" I don't even know..as a matter of fact, we aren't even dating or anything, I mean what does that kiss makes us ?" I asked in exasperation

Annette sighed " is that your headache? Well, more reason you shouldn't have bolted away just like that..so at least you can talk things over" she replied

She was right.but what can I do..I already caused more ruckus and I can't help but wonder what dozie will think about me.

I graoned in frustration. Things weren't getting any better

" Annette this is harder than I thought" I said and she rubbed my back

" I know right..but then, look at the bright side..dozie likes you and you too like him..."

" who says I like him?"I quickly shot

" oh shut your trap..I don't need to answer that..better get your shit together before I help you " she replied in a stern tone

I laughed. Reminds me of someone. Precisely, Dozie

Suddenly i subconsciously giggle as I tugged my lower lips, remembering every single -

" see her..starting to get hopeless " Annette teased and I playfully swiped my hands across her back as we laughed

" stop joor...you just reminded me of dozie " I said, I could feel my cheeks heating up as hus name rolled off my tongue

Annette laughed "hmm..does this mean we are looking forward to an ERAD...?" She asked wriggling her brows in mischief

" what is Erad? "

" You two..I shipped your names..you know the last three letters of your name and the first letter of dozie's name " she explained and I chuckled

" you're the one not feeling fine sha..oya start leaving " I said

" shoo..don't chase me na." She whined with a playful pout.

" why did you even leave school?"I asked and she shrugged

" you looked abit nervous when you barged into the class so I thought to check up on you " she replied and I cooed

" aww...thanks baby"

" if I knew it was because man kissed you, I'll have just stayed back and mourn my single-ship " she added with a sneer and I smack her hands playfully again as we both laughed.

" you sha..owe us an explanation...I mean not me, but sophie, sola, Adam...." she said again

I face-palmed myself " I know right..let's just hope this turns out well" I said with a low groan

She chuckled "next time, run and don't look back if you know you can't handle alcohol "

I shrugged "I've learnt my lessons. I'm never drinking again " I replied and we both laughed.
