Carly's POV
I can't believe it, he's back. The first guy I was proud to call my boyfriend, they guy I broke up with over some stupid stuffed animals. Wow, he looks great. But then again, he always did. I feel embarrassed to be holding hands with Freddie. I feel him tense next to me, but I'm too busy staring at Griffin to care. I loosen my grip and stand up, smoothing my skirt, suddenly self conscious. I manage a weak "Hey", and I can feel his dark eyes staring at me with fire like intensity.
"Mind if I borrow her for a few minutes?" his gaze is directed towards Freddie.
"She's all yours"
I'm scared and elated at the same time. I follow Griffin out into the hallway, closing the door behind me.
"So, Freddie…" he says quietly.
I nod, unable to speak, afraid I'll say something to make him leave.
"He's a great guy…lucky to have a great girl like you" he's hurt, but he's masking it.
"Yeah, he is" I look up and my gaze is drawn towards his, he touches my arm, my skin burns where he makes contact. I've never felt that way with Freddie.
"Bye Carly, I'll see you around…"
I grab his arm, "Griffin, wait"
It happens fast. Our lips make contact and I feel like I'm on fire. I can't think. It feels right, being with him.
I hear a door close and I jump back.
"Sam, Sam, please, listen to me, I'm sorry"
"Don't apologize to me, apologize to him…" She's pointing at my front door, and I know she means Freddie.
"Did he see?"
"No, I closed the door before he could…You gonna tell him?"
I shrug. I still can't think, not after that kiss. My skin still burns from his contact.
"Hey Carly, I'm going to go, see you around…" Griffin gives me a crooked smile and leaves, his intoxicating scent still floating around me.
Thanks for the reviews guys
