Chapter 2 loves. Enjoy and REVIEW

Skylar's stomach began to tingle with nerves. She never kissed a boy before especially a friend. She had a bunch of close encounters with Oliver but other than that Skylar's lips were boy free. If she kissed Kaz their friendship could be ruined... or it could turn into something more. No way can that happen.
Kaz was freaking out just as much as Skylar. He hadn't felt anything when holding her hand and hugging her, however, a kiss was deeper than that. Thanks to his sisters Kaz had seen his share of romantic movies. Every guy who had feelings for the girl in the movies pursued her until the two ended up together. If Kaz kissed Skylar and felt something, isn't he supposed to do the same? Just the thought of it caused him to panic.
"Bree, I don't think-"
"Let's do it," Skylar interrupted. "I-I mean just a little kiss."
Kaz's eyes widened. He hadn't expected Skylar to go along with it. "Yeah." Kaz didn't want to be a sissy so if Skylar was for it then he was going to be too. "Bree you might want to get a bucket 'cause I'll be puking after this." He laughed nervously.
Skylar took a deep breath and turned to face Kaz. He did the same. Bree stood by watching anxiously as they slowly leaned their upper bodies forward. She was tempted to just push them together and get it over with. But just as the two were about to lock lips a voice bellowed throughout the room.
"Who wants to watch Die Hard?" Oliver sang. He held the DVD in his hand and wore a huge grin.
Kaz and Skylar jumped apart in an instant. Kaz quickly ran towards the fridge, pretending to look for something while Skylar did a cartwheel towards the couch, jumping onto it and putting her feet up. Bree still stood frozen in her spot, half annoyed the kiss got interrupted but otherwise glad because Oliver seeing it could cause a lot of problems.
Die Hard was a good movie, at least that's what Skylar had told Oliver. Truth be told she hadn't paid attention to it the entire time, not like he and Kaz had. She couldn't focus; all she could think about was the kiss, well what was going to be a kiss. Oliver had interrupted it, but what if he hadn't. Skylar's first kiss would've been with Kaz. KAZ! It disgusted her and yet intrigued her at the same time.
Was Kaz going to be a good kisser? Were his lips dry and chapped? What about his breath? He did have those juicy drops so his lips could've been sticky. Skylar shuddered, turning on her side and staring at Bree who was sound asleep in her capsule. Skylar could be sound asleep as well but nope, she's up thinking on her friend who was down the hall and the kiss they were supposed to have.
Skylar couldn't help but wonder if Kaz was thinking about it too. She couldn't help but wonder if he wanted to kiss her. Then again she was the one who decided on doing it. Kaz just stood there like a deer in the headlights. He even said he would puke which made Skylar feel self-conscious, though she wouldn't tell him that.
A yawn escaped Skylar's mouth, prompting her to check the time on her phone. "3:18 in the morning," she whined. The team hadn't been having a lot of missions lately, but tomorrow could be the game changer. Skylar needed to be well rested, but she knew she wasn't going to be with her mind racing like it was. "Maybe a glass of milk will do the trick."
Once downstairs Skylar flicked on the lights. She expected to be the only one down there but she was taken aback to see Kaz on a stool by the island. "Kaz?"
He had been using his cell phone flashlight in order to read one of his comic books. "Oh, hey Skylar." He even sounded wide awake.
She approached him. She noticed the half eaten buttered toast and glass of juice. Kaz must have been down here a while. "You're up too huh?" What she really wanted to ask was if he was up for the same reason she was.
He shrugged. "Couldn't sleep."
"Oh." Skylar poured herself a glass of milk and joined him. "So uh, today was a pretty good day."
Kaz looked up from his comic, smiling slightly. "Yeah, especially when I beat you in Uno."
Skylar giggled. "Okay, okay but I'm going to learn that game and destroy you Kazimerius."
Soon it got quiet again and Skylar was left watching Kaz. She watched as he flipped the pages of his book. She could tell he wasn't really reading it, more so scanning and flipping aimlessly. Considering how much he and Oliver were into comic books, it was completely unlike Kaz to just scan. Something was definitely on his mind.
Kaz finally closed the comic for good. "So why are you up?"
Skylar thought about lying but figured honesty was better. "I was thinking about what Bree had us doing earlier."
Kaz was relieved that he wasn't the only one. "God Skylar I couldn't even focus on the movie." He fiddled with the drawstring on his hoodie. "Skylar, be honest, have you ever thought of us as a couple? Like, do you think we're meant to be or whatever?"
"No." Skylar had never thought of Kaz as a boyfriend, but if they were meant to be? She had no idea. She was so certain of all of her feelings until Bree came along and jumbled them up.
Kaz was a little hurt that she said no so quickly, but he put it aside. "It's pretty silly. I mean a hug and hand holding can't magically cause us to like each other... hug me." He and Skylar hugged and then Skylar held his hand.
"See you feel nothing right?" Skylar asked.
Kaz smiled confidently. "Nope and not even a kiss could make me."
Skylar pursed her lips. "Right...the kiss... that thing that almost happened."
"I was gonna back out until you spoke up...why did you speak up anyhow?"
"I just wanted to get it over with, but thanks to Oliver that didn't happen." Skylar looked away, mumbling, "Though we can finish what was started now."
Kaz rubbed the back of his neck. It was super quiet downstairs so he heard what she said. Just like earlier he wanted to back out but he also didn't want to be a chicken. And he needed sleep which this whole kiss thing had been disturbing. "A quick one?"
"Really quick."
Kaz and Skylar stood in front of each other just like they had done earlier. Everyone was asleep so there would be no interruptions. This was going to happen.
Skylar figured since she was the one who suggested the kiss again that she would lean in first. They nearly bumped heads but soon enough Skylar's quivering lips met Kaz's surprisingly soft ones. Then again there were a lot of things surprising Skylar about this kiss. Like the fact that it wasn't sticky and there was no stinky breath. It was actually good.
One thing that stood out to Kaz was that unlike they had planned, the kiss was anything but quick. Kaz started to break away as soon as their lips touched but before he could comprehend what he was doing, his arm slipped around Skylar's waist and he relaxed? He thought for sure she would pull away after that, but she placed her own hand on his cheek. The sudden cold from her fingertips caused Kaz to jump back and let her go.
"Feel anything?" Skylar asked, feeling slightly embarrassed.
Kaz shrugged, kicking his foot against the floor. "Nah. You?"
Skylar shook her head. "Not a thing. Guess Bree was wrong. At least you didn't puke," she chirped.
Kaz was confused at first until his mind went back to his earlier comment. "About that, Sky-"
Skylar held her hand up. "It's fine. Hey, we can get some sleep now. See you in the morning," Skylar replied with a smile. She pushed back Kaz's forehead before going back to her room. Once there Skylar dropped the nonchalant attitude and sunk to the floor. She hadn't felt sparks when she kissed Kaz, on the contrary she felt a full on explosion.
Crawling into her bed, Skylar could easily blame these feelings on the fact that it was her first kiss but she would be lying to herself. Kissing Kaz felt right, like she was supposed to be doing that, and it scared her to death. Nothing, absolutely nothing, could happen between her and that dummy downstairs. And besides he said he felt nothing at all so if he could blow it over then so could she.
