The best type of kisses are the ones that have been exchanged a thousand times between the eyes before it reaches the lips.

•

A Kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.

•

The best kind of kisses are the ones that come unexpected, unplanned, like In the middle of a sentence.

Megan's POV

Sam texted me and I ran out to go meet up with him, I didn't want Louis to go with me because P3 wasn't that far, I could take a taxi and I didn't Sam to know I work with Javier Altamira, he would feel betrayed.

I reached P3 in no time and I saw Sam waiting outside for me, he wore dark jeans with a fitted tank top with an open blazer, he looked good as always, but I didn't feel the butterflies in my tummy, they were calm and I was calm, my heart wasn't racing and I didn't feel nervous. I smiled as approached him.

"Sam”I called as he eyes snapped away from the pavement and met mine, I was staring into his hazel eye and my heart wasn't going on a wild goose chase. His eyes looked happy but his body looked weak and I could tell he haven't shaved in a while.

"Hey”he said looking at me, I felt a knot as tears threatened to fall off my eyes, I hadn't heard that sound in a while, crush or no crush, Sam is my best friend. I ran and hugged him and he chuckled as he hugged me back lifting me up in the air.

"Come on let's go in”he said as we let go of each other.

"No, am sorry but am kinda in a hurry, sitting won't be a good option right now”I said, I had to make it to my date.

"Oh am so sorry Meg I should have known you'll be at work, stupid me, hope your boss won't be angry”he asked being concerned.

"Nope, he is a kind boss”I replied with a smile.

"OK, speaking of work_”he took a step back, tilted his head and studied my look, then he smiled, "looking good"

I smiled too, "Same goes to you"

"I never thought I'll see the day, you'll dress formal, guess the heavens are going to fall after all”we laughed. It’s true, I was never the skirt or formal dressing kind of girl, I rather stick to my jeans and t-shirts. "Have you sold Simba yet"

"No! Why would I do that"

"That motorcycle has hexed you I swear”he replied shaking his head at me, I've had Simba ever since I was 16 years old, Sam, Elvis and I went around gathering spare parts after we found Simba in a trash dumping ground, the owner wanted to throw him away. When we had enough spare parts, Sam and Elvis built her together and gave me as a birthday present. It was love at first sight.

"So what's going on Sam, you don't look so good”I said contradicting my earlier statement.

He signed relaxing on the wall, "I just needed someone to talk to, I missed you"

I raised my brows at him and he gave small laugh and continued talking, "Kristen's father found us and apparently he is going to sue me to court for kidnapping his daughter"

"What!!? She's over eighteen!”I said surprised at this allegation.

"Yea Kristen's says It’s just a threat and her dad can do me no harm, but he is a billionaire Meg, billionaires have their way"

I was shocked, oh my God. The rain started drizzling.

"Mom_ mom”Sam said his voice breaking a bit.

"Sam what happened to Susan”I asked my heart stopping for moment.

"A cancer__ a cancer cell regenerated Meg”he said tears welling up in his eyes. "She fainted and the baby people called me, I took her to the hospital and the doctor said_ he said it was bad, they might have to amputate__”he couldn't continue as he broke down in tears, the rain was already falling heavily on us, and I could feel the tears running down my cheeks.

"I want to be strong for her, for Kristen but sometimes It’s just so hard”Sam said as my hands flew up his neck as I hugged him, he hugged me back sobbing onto my shoulder.

"It’s OK everything is gonna be alright”I hope so.

"Meg thanks, thanks for coming out here to see me, I really needed this, I known I've been a dick, only seeking you when I have problems but It’s only you I can turn to"

"

No problem Sam, I understand and I'll always be here, because that's what friends are for”I said patting his back as we broke the hug.

"Mom is currently admitted in the hospital she told me not to inform you guys because she didn't want you people to worry, according to her you are finally becoming free and happy”he said.

Yea that's all happening because of Javier, Javier who I have a date with!.

"I'll come see Susan in the hospital, since Papa Sullivan already found you guys, you can move back into the neighborhood, let's not mind his threats for now and like I said everything is going to be alright”I said to him, crying did him a lot of good, his face felt lighter and brighter.

He smiled, "OK thanks, now hurry along else your boss, would be mad"

"Bye, take care”I waved as I entered a taxi and went back to the office.

"What are you doing here Meg?”Louis asked when he spotted me.

"Umm__ I don't know”I lied, what should I have said

He rolled his eyes, "Mr Altamira already left"

"Really?”I said as I brought out my phone to call him but my battery was dead.

I raced to the hotel, I hope I was not too late. Then Conner refused me to see him. Apparently he was very angry and didn't want to see anybody, he fired slutty Miranda (yay, am not affected by that) and punch his fist on the wall.

I came back home really sad and unhappy, I didn't go for my date, Susan was back in the hospital for cancer. I shed off my clothes to take a bath. I couldn't believe cancer was back. I actually thought it was over and gone for good.

A year after Sam first packed in here, Susan was diagnosed of cancer, the second stage I think. It was really terrible we had lots of bills to take care of, Sam was breaking bit by bit, he almost joined Vince and his stupid brother in their drug sale, it took a lot of talking tears and encouragement to take him off that hell path. I can't__ my thoughts was cut short as tears racked through my body, I sunk to the floor and cried my eyes out.

After crying my self out, I crawled to bed, I checked my plugged in phone, no text from Javier no call, zip Nada nothing. I called him.

Javier Altamira's line, if It’s an appointment call my secretary, if It’s not, your loss__ am currently not available.

I rolled my eyes and when I called again, the line was dead. I groaned and felt like tossing my phone to the wall but in my budget their was nothing like buying a new phone, so I kept my frustration in and let it out on my poor pillow.

Javier, I really miss you _

Nope not good, I deleted it.

Javier what happened, why didn't we go on our date?

Nope, I sounded desperate. Why do I even bother, his phone was switched off anyway. Argg I tossed and tossed on my bed till my eyes closed shut.

I called the newspaper distributor and lied that I was sick, so she gave me a day off, thankfully, I really didn't feel like waking up, but I had a lot of things on my plate right now so I had to get up.

"Maybe you should just keep your opinion to yourself”I heard Darlene shouted all the way from her room.

"Why, I have lips which are supposed to be used to voice out opinions”Dylan retorted.

"Not all opinions are to be voiced out, especially when It’s about something that doesn't concern you"

"You are just being stupid"

"Me? Me being stupid, ahh sorry I can't be my girly self just because it offends my fucking twin"

I rolled my eyes the twins where at another of their fights, I wasn't ready from this and apparently so was Rita.

"Shut up already! If you guys aren't ready for school in five minutes, I pushing you guys out of this house ready or not and am locking the fucking door!"

I chuckled to myself as got dressed, I even ate a normal breakfast before Louis came.

"Race you to school”Dylan said smiling as he mounted his bicycle.

"You bet”Darlene said as they took off forgetting about their little fight a while ago. I laughed as I got into the car.

"What's got you all gloomy?”Louis asked observing me through the rear mirror.

"Not now Louis”I replied resting my head on the seat. Pretty boy got some explaining to do.

"Good morning Naomi”I said moving to the elevator.

"Oh someone is horny”she said, I glared at her and she immediately looked away.

"Morning Regina”I greeted too as I got out of the elevator.

"Morning Meg, I see you survived the storm, good luck”Regina said chuckling to herself as I entered into the office.

"I think this__ all this is scrap, nonsense, you actually expect me to agree to this, ha you got to be kidding me”Javier said as he raked his hands through his hair and looked up to see me. We held eye contact for 5 seconds, then I waved at him mouthing "hi", he looked away ignoring me as he faced the poor man sitting in front of him.

“My answer is No, I don't know if you know that this is an international business cooperation and we don't accept crappy business proposals like this, GET OUT”he said as he spined his chair to face the glass.

Ouch.

The young man who was really thin and wore glasses was practically cleaning tears off his face as he left the office.

"Am so sorry, his in a bad mood, I'll call you to see him later, maybe next week”I said trying to console him.

"I came yesterday and today again__”he sniffed out, clearly shaken up.

"Well don't you want to try again”I asked him.

"I'd love to, thanks a lot”he said as he left.

I moved closer to Javier, he is mad but he can still have a civilized conversation right?.

"I tried calling you_”I started before I was cut off.

"Megan am not in the mood right now, can I just get a coffee”he said not sparing me a look.

Nope he can't have a civilized conversation.

"OK”I replied, feeling down agar as I left, I didn't like angry Javier as all.

So that's how the rest of the day went by, Javier ignoring my existence and only ordering me around to get this or that, go here or there, he couldn't even look me in the eye.

We were almost off from work and still we had not spoken anything to each other only commands and replies. I couldn't take it anymore, I needed an explanation, a reason and an answer to the question why.

I slammed the papers that I just went to retrieve from the lowest floor, on his desk.

He looked up from his computer screen but looked back down in no time. "That would be all for now"

"No!”I said anger pulsing through my veins.

"What do you mean No?”He asked looking up again surprised.

"No that won't be all for now, you haven't spoken to me through out today”I spat out.

"I'm pretty sure we've exchanged words today"

"Not that kind, you've just been ordering me around, what's wrong? Why are you angry? Why didn't you let me see you yesterday? Why have you_"

"Am not in the mood Megan”he said shutting me off.

"Well am in the mood, you have to give me an explanation pretty boy!”I shouted, thank God this office was soundproof else, people would rush in here.

"Don't call me that!”He shouted back.

I felt relived a little, this is better than getting ignored. "What? What shouldn't I call you?"

"Pretty boy or whatever don't call me that!"

"Why? It didn't seem to bother you before"

"Well now it does"

"Why?"

"Because I think you should save the nicknames for someone else"

"I don't understand you, are you bipolar or something, It’s ok to tell me, that way I'll understand you better”I said trying to get a hang of this, yesterday we were OK, today we are not.

"Am not bipolar”he replied softer this time.

"Then what's up with you, why didn't we go on our date?"

"Because I didn't want to!"

"Why? You brought up the idea"

"I changed my mind"

"Why?”He got to start giving me complete answers, am tired of asking why.

"Because I had more important things to do than to go on a stupid date that won't mean anything to you”he shouted back at me.

"You don't know that”I said replying softly, that date meant so much to me.

"You are just too kind to say no to your kind boss"

"You are wrong"

"Oh please”he raked his hand through his head, "what do I have to do to shut you up?"

I became angry again, he didn't want to hear me out, "umm I don't know, kiss me?, punch me?, because that would__”I was cut off, not by him talking but my something more electrifying than anything else in the world.

His lips crashed into mine as his right hand went below my back pulling me into him. His lips were so soft and they were moving against mine in a very hypnotising way, I was shocked beyond words and my brain cells went dead. My eyes were slowly closing shut as the emotion took over, then he stopped and was about to pull away, just when I was about to respond.

Na ah, nope, not happening, not on my watch.

I quickly wrapped my hands around his neck, restricting him from pulling away as I crashed his lips back on mine, increasing my height a little and kissing him.

He was stiff for about a second and then put his hands on my hips pressing me against him and kissing me back, our lips moving in perfect harmony, my limbs were getting weak and then he deepened the kiss and I just lost it.

I remember a kiss like this, a kiss that completely weaken me and made me lose all sense of reasoning, I thought it was because of the alcohol that I lost my senses like that, but now as I kissed Javier, It felt exactly the same.

Bluey.
