This is my first Emily/Austin story. I like them a lot as friends, but I believe they would be nice as a couple too. So here's my first fic about them! I hope you'll review it. No beta so any mistake is mine!
The kiss came as a surprise because there weren't butterflies flying around in my stomach and because I wasn't shaking just because he was standing a couple of feet away. It came as a surprise because I didn't even realized I would have liked to kiss him.
No, everything felt ordinary. We were practicing until late as any other day.
Me, my floor routine and him on his parallel bars.
I looked at the clock and saw that it was midnight. Sasha had left us the keys to the gym because he had an important date and couldn't stick around for us to finish our practice.
I heard the soft thud of his feet hitting the elastic carpet and then his husky voice saying, "Kmetko what do you say we get out of here and I buy you dinner?"
I turned around smiling at him. I liked having him as a friend. Inexplicably, it was like if he always knew what I meant or what I needed; just the kind of friend you want around all the time.
"Tucker is late," I pointed towards the clock hanging on the wall, "It's midnight. No place to go."
He smirked starting to get closer. "Maybe you could come over at my place and..."
I rolled my eyes and when he was standing just a couple of inches away, I gently shoved him back. "No way, Austin." And that was when I looked up.
Our eyes met while we were still wearing those goofy smiles you see in those chick-flick movies. The ones that make you say 'They're going to kiss!' and you sit on the edge of your chair as if you could feel the tension going on between the characters of the movie.
I saw that small smile and I should have known what was going to happen next but I didn't.
Those seconds stretched out as if they lasted years and then it simply happened.
I felt his fingers sinking into my hair, pulling me closer to him. I put my hands on his chest and we stopped for a second. I could feel his breath caressing my face and that was the instant I started shaking. I could feel the muscles vibrating under my fingertips.
And then it was like someone had pushed flash forward on their remote control.
His other hand snicked around my neck and tilted my head up and then we were kissing.
My hands grabbing his biceps trying to steady myself whilst he was gripping my face gently and yet so strongly between his hands.
The kiss came as a surprise because one moment we were laughing and one moment we were sealed.
The kiss came as a surprise because in an instant, I was lost.
