Just One Kiss.
Adrian opened a can of pop and with a hiss, he plopped down on his couch in front of the TV. The flashing lights showed a bunch of men tackling each other for a ball. Despite his testosterone, Adrian couldn't get into football. So, he picked up the remote and flicked through the channels until he found the familiar Bob Ross painting happy little trees.
As he was taking another sip of pop, he heard banging on his apartment door. Turning his attention away from The Joy of Painting, Adrian got to his feet and walked over to his door. Looking through the peephole, he saw a pretty blonde sporting a golden lily impatiently standing there.
Adrian opened the door and smirked, "Hello Sage. I knew you couldn't stay away from my charms for long."
Sydney ignored his remark and asked, "Are you going to let me in?"
Adrian stepped aside and waved her in. She took his seat on the couch. Glancing at the TV, Sydney took a shaky breath and opened her mouth to speak but no sound came out. She then picked up the cold aluminum can before her on the coffee table and swallowed a few gulps.
Adrian stood nearby. Watching her, his smirk turned into a frown. "As much as I enjoy you swallowing my saliva- and sugar for that matter- I don't like the look of you right now. What's wrong?"
Sydney sat the pop can back down. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth to speak but the words wouldn't form in her lips so she opted for remaining silent. She looked up at Adrian, her big eyes shining like she was about to cry.
"Shit," Adrian muttered before sliding in the spot next to Sydney. He put his arm around her, which she gladly snuggled into. "Talk to me Sydney. What's wrong?"
She stayed quiet a while longer before a sob escaped. "Adrian, I don't know what to do."
"I hardly know what to do," Adrian half-heartedly laughed. "Half the time, I don't even know what I'm doing at the moment."
"That's typical of you," she mumbled into him.
"Why Sage, was that an insult? I'm hurt."
"I'm not about to lie," she mumbled again, her tone more joking this time.
"Not even to make me feel better? I thought we were closer than that."
"Especially not to make you feel better. You thought wrong buddy." Sydney pulled away from him, wiped off her eyes, and gave him a small smile.
Adrian's retort he had ready slipped from his mind when he saw her smile. He brought his hand up to her unmarked cheek and gingerly caressed it. He wanted to lean in and place his lips on hers, to let his kiss melt her the way her smile did to him, but he wasn't sure if he should. Especially when she was feeling as down as she was.
Sydney leaned into his hand, wanting to lose herself in his touch. She knew she shouldn't- she couldn't- but that didn't stop the pining. Despite that she recently admitted to herself that she was attracted to her fangy counterpart it, didn't change the fact that Adrian was a different species. That Adrian was forbidden.
But then again, things weren't exactly the same between them, even if he was ignorant of the change. She really needed to tell him…
"Your eyes are just like warm honey," he murmured when Sydney opened her eyes.
She gazed into his green ones, gathering the strength to tell him. But it all disappeared as they gazed into each other's eyes. Her will crumpled and she leaned forward, letting herself indulge in at least one kiss.
Adrian softly kissed back; afraid to shatter the fantasy he was sure his spirit-induced mind was creating. But her lips pressed harder and Adrian couldn't resist. One hand tangled itself in her hair and the other rested on her thigh, rubbing small circles into the fabric.
Sydney found herself pulling him closer as well, her kisses deepening with her impatient longing. He was making her mind foggy with desire. She couldn't remember what she came here to do. Oh yeah, she needed to tell him something. But she couldn't remember what. That hand slipping between her thighs was making it impossible to think…
With a jolt, her mind came racing back. She jumped away from him and smacked away his hand. "Adrian, we can't," she said in the kind of stern voice you'd use to tell a puppy not to pee on the carpet with.
So, it wasn't a fantasy after all, Adrian thought as he threw his head back with a loud sigh. "Why can't you just give in for once?"
"You know why!" she yelled back.
"Occasionally giving in won't hurt you. Seriously, what's just one kiss once in a while going to do?"
"That wasn't just one kiss," Sydney pointed out.
"So?" Adrian asked. "It could be one."
Sydney laughed. "Yeah. Like either of us could control ourselves? Yeah right."
"You just admitting you like me, sexually at least," Adrian said, astonished.
"I did," Sydney admitted. "But that doesn't change why we can't."
"Who cares? Do what you want for once!"
"I can't just do what I want! There are consequences!" Sydney threw her hands in the air with frustration.
"Forget about the consequences," Adrian tried to convince her. "Drink a regular soda, skip homework, or just kiss me. Worry about the consequences later."
"That sounds like a brilliant plan. Just look at where worrying about the consequences later has gotten us."
"And where exactly is that?"
"Oh, I don't know," she said with such sarcasm that it could have rivaled Adrian on a normal day, "Worrying about the consequences later made me accept alcohol from you which led to me losing my virginity. And hey, now I'm pregnant! So congratulations Adrian, your plan has turned out so well so far."
"Okay, sometimes it doe-Wait, you're pregnant?" Adrian's eyes went wide with shock.
Sydney fell quiet as well. She hadn't meant to tell him like that. She stood across from Adrian, he expression not unlike his own wide-eyed, mouth agape, stunned one. Soon, the shocked atmosphere turned awkward. Sydney looked at the ground, shifting her weight from foot to foot. Then, she said, "I think I should go."
Adrian was still registering the pregnant part when Sydney brushed past him. It took until he heard his door click close for him to forget about that and run after her. "Sydney, wait," he called out, hoping she heard him.
But she was already gone.
A/N: Guys, I'm so sorry it took so long. I've been really busy and shit. But it's spring break now! I'll try to get at least one more chapter out before spring break ends C: Hell, I'll probably get it out tomorrow or something. I'm in a writing mood. But no promises.
