A/N: Hey y'all! So, I just double checked Chapter 13 of Love Story and after this I'm going to work on Chapter 14. I'm on a writing roll/spree so expect quicker updates! Since I'm just in love with One Direction, I chose ashleyxbiebermusic and Rusher5erDirectioner's idea of 1D's song I Should've Kissed You. If you've never heard it before, I highly suggest it! It's a great song about, obviously, regretting that you didn't kiss a certain person when you had the chance to. This isn't a song-fic or anything. The one shot was just based off of the song.
I don't own How To Rock, I Should've Kissed You by One Direction, or ashleyxbiebermusic and Rusher5erDirectioner's topic of I.
I: I Should've Kissed You
[Zander]
"Is you heart taken? Is there somebody else on your mind? I'm so sorry, I'm so confused, just tell me: Am I out of time? Is your heartbreaking? How do you feel about me now? I can't believe I let you walk away when, when I should've kissed you. I should've, I should've, oh, I should've kissed you. I should've..."
I threw a baseball I found under the couch at the radio, making that stupid One Direction song shut up and possibly the radio to break. Kacey walked in just as I buried my head in my hands from my major headache.
She asked, "Hey sleepy, what's wrong?"
While she was sitting down on the arm of the couch, I explained, "I had to listen to my sister sing that awful song about not knowing you're beautiful by that stupid foreign band all night."
Kacey gasped. "Are you talking about One Direction? I love them!" She started dancing and singing, "Baby, you light up my world like nobody else. The way that you flip your..."
I groaned before she could finish. Kacey gave me a weird look. I'd give myself a weird look too if I was acting like Stevie on one of her days.
She questioned, "Are you sure that's the only reason you didn't sleep last night? What's up?"
If there's one modern day cupid at Brewster High, it's definitely Kacey Simon. I sighed, leaned back on the other arm of the couch, flattened my legs out, and explained what happened...
~*Yesterday Afternoon*~
"When you stood there, just a heartbeat away. When we were dancing, and you looked up at me. If I had known then, that I'd be feeling this way. If I could replay, I would have never let you go."
I interrupted, "Stevie, as much as I truly love hearing your voice, do you mind not singing that?"
Stevie laughed. "What, you hate One Direction?"
I replied, "I don't hate them, I just don't like them. They're not my type of music."
"They're not mine either, but this is my favorite song. Come on, I heard you singing along to One Thing when it was on the radio."
I protested, "I was humming to the good beat!"
She rolled her eyes and we gathered out stuff to go to class. While I was already out from Gravity 5's lunch table bench and had just swung my ukelele case to my back, Stevie was getting up. Being her clumsy self, she tripped on one of the legs of the bench. She probably would've fallen flat on her face if I hadn't grabbed her elbows with my hands.
After barely two seconds, she stood up by herself casually, smiling, and saying, "Thanks. I really need to work on my balance. Zander, you okay? I'm the one that tripped."
I shook my head and responded, "Yeah, I'm fine."
~*End of Flashback*~
As soon as I was finished, Kacey started interrogating, "Was there a spark? Did you feel something tingly? Did she? Have you talked since?"
I sighed at the result of me telling Kacey something personal. I ran my hand through my hair and answered, "All I know is that even for that split second that I looked into Stevie's eyes, it was like that One Direction song she likes."
Kacey questioned, "Tell Me A Lie?" (A/N: My favorite song!) I shook my head.
"Save You Tonight?" I shook my head.
"More Than This?" I gave Kacey a thumbs down size.
She suggested, "I Should've Kissed You?"
I nodded. Kacey shouted, "Aw! You wished you kissed her!"
I sat up and told her, "Kacey, you can't tell Stevie about this! You can't tell anyone!"
"Zander! You wished you kissed your best friend, doesn't that tell you something?"
I mumbled, "It tells me that I hate that band even more."
Kacey sighed, rolled her eyes, and walked away singing, "I should've kissed you."
After rehearsing Go With Gravity, Move With the Crowd, and Only You Can Be You, Nelson, Kevin, and Kacey packed up their stuff and left. Stevie and I, however, had to stay later to work on what we were going to sing at our gig next week and our new song. I slung my guitar over my shoulder so it was on my back and walked over to Stevie as she just took off her bass and kneeled down to turn off her amp.
"So, miss Stevie Baskara, what should our new song be about?"
Stevie stood up and faced me while quietly singing, "Every morning when I leave my house, I always look for you. I see you every time I close my eyes, what am I gonna do?"
I groaned at the annoying song lyrics. She took my hat off my head, put it on herself, and told me, "Hey, Kacey told me you had to talk to me about something."
I mentally regretted my decision to tell Kacey. Looking into Stevie's eyes, it was clear she wanted an answer.
I sighed and asked, "Remember yesterday when you almost tripped at the lunch table and I caught you?" Stevie nodded. I continued, "Well, ever since then, all I can think about is the fact that I should've kissed you...but I didn't."
Stevie slightly widened her eyes but returned them back to normal. She responded, "Wow, okay. So, since you didn't do it then, maybe you should make up for it...now."
I raised my eyebrows and stepped forward. Stevie took the next step, and next thing I know my lips are on hers. When we pulled away, Stevie looked at the ground, then at me, and smiled.
She asked, "So, what's your opinion about One Direction now?"
I laughed. "Well, I guess they aren't that bad."
