Here is the long awaited update :) enjoy!
Chapter 10
APOV
Kissing Odd was definitely the best thing I've ever done. It was nothing short of amazing. His kisses had made Jeremy's feel like a joke. He was great at it and it took my breath away. I almost couldn't stop and didn't have to wonder if Odd didn't want to either. He wouldn't even let me pull back but in a good way, not controlling. Fireworks went off in my mind and my heart was going crazy.
Unfortunately we had to stop to breathe. We both breathed in heavily and rested our foreheads together. I opened my eyes and his were still closed as he caught his breath.
"I love you too," I said softly. He looked at me with a big happy smile that made my heart flutter.
After a moment he gave me a funny look, "You don't seem surprised. Did you know already?"
"Mmmmhmm," I nodded with a grin, "And those letters are the most sweetest and beautiful things I have ever read."
"How did you know? Did I make it that obvious?" he asked with red cheeks.
"No," I giggled, "I saw your handwriting in class and it matched the letters. I wish you had told me a lot sooner though, before you started writing. I think I loved you all along, but I just didn't realize it until a few weeks ago."
"Really?" he grinned.
I nodded, "When did you start liking me?"
"The first time I met you on Lyoko," he said sheepishly.
I raised my eyebrows, "You felt this way for 3 years and chose not to tell me? Why did you wait so long?"
"Jeremy. I thought you liked him and there's this guy code you know. He saw you first so I backed off," he shrugged.
"I did like him, but he became so…boring. I wonder how he would cope if there were no computers," I said and he chuckled.
"He did try to make you happy though. He just isn't good with girls," he took my hand again, and it felt so nice.
"Well he failed miserably. I want to be with you now," I said blushing.
He smiled bigger, "If that's what you want, princess."
I giggled, "I can't believe you're really mine!"
"Well me neither," he chuckled, "I thought you would tell me in a gentle way you didn't like me like that."
"You've never been good at predicting things," I teased.
"No, I guess not," he chuckled.
We sat there for a moment watching Elizabeth run back and forth along the beach. Her bucket getting heavier it seemed.
"Remember that time we had that fight and Nicholas asked me out? We're you jealous I had said yes?" I asked smirking.
He laughed, "Yeah, I was. I also wasn't even mad at you. I was just picking a fight to get your attention."
"Well that was dumb," I chuckled, "But flattering."
"I think it worked out pretty well," he smirked, "I got your attention didn't I?"
I nodded blushing, "I was so mad at you, but I was also trying to figure out a way to make up with you without losing the fight."
He laughed, "I remember Einstein saying we should kiss and make up, and I thought 'Hmmm. Yes we should.'"
I giggled, "Boy was I clueless back then."
"Yes you were," he agreed, "But cute. Your mad face is adorable," he smiled at me.
"What about that time you said no body would die for love and it was dumb?" I asked curiously, "Did you mean that?"
"No," he chuckled, "Just me keeping up my macho image. I did risk my life to save yours that day remember?"
"Oh yeah," I said remembering him jumping off the cliff after me. I had been falling into the digital sea. I had saved him too.
I blushed and leaned over and kissed his cheek. I grinned when I saw them turn red. I was already excited for another real kiss with my new boyfriend. I couldn't believe what I had been missing out on!
"Hey Liz!" he called to his sister, "It's getting dark!"
"Just five more minutes! I'm almost done!" she ran past us again toting the bucket.
He shook his head then looked at me smiling, "Ever been to a concert before?"
"Nope," I sighed. I had always wanted to since I loved music but never had the time to go. "Are they fun?"
"Absolutely! I thought it would be a fun idea for our first official date," he grinned.
"That sounds fun," I blushed, "But aren't tickets expensive?"
"Yeah," he was still grinning.
"I don't want you to spend a lot on me," I frowned.
"I was going to go anyway and invite Louise but I'd rather take you," he said.
"Well, ok," I smiled, "If that's what you want."
"Ok! I'm done!" Elizabeth ran up to us, "My bucket is too full for any more."
Odd nodded, "Ok, let's go," he stood up and helped me to my feet. I didn't want to let go of his hands. He let them go so we could grab our shoes and towels and we started back up the stairs.
The cool wind blew in my face and I glanced back at the ocean one more time. This was definitely one of the world's most beautiful things. Even if Odd hadn't admitted his feelings for me it still would have been the best day of my life so far.
"Coming princess?" he called from the top of the stairs with a grin. I nodded and jogged up the stairs to him.
Elizabeth had already gone inside and he scratched the back of his head nervously, "Since we won't have much privacy when we get in there, I uh…wanted to..." I noticed his cheeks turn red again and I smiled. I liked where this was going.
"Kiss me?" I finished for him and he just looked at me with intense eyes and nodded. I blushed immediately at how he was looking at me with desire filled eyes. My heart pounded and I felt on fire. I longed to feel his lips against mine again. Just when the longing became unbearable, he leaned his face towards mine and I happily did the same until our lips met. Now I felt more on fire and I wanted to be closer to him. It was just as delightful as our first kiss had been. Reality was falling away. His hands were on my waist and I ended up dropping my towel so I could put my arms around his neck. Something, a moan or a sigh formed in the back of my throat and I let it out when our lips parted. I would've been embarrassed if he hadn't made a similar sound and pulled me closer. Butterflies flew around my stomach and my heart raced. The sweet smell of his cologne was making me a little dizzy. I pulled back a little after a few kisses and tried to catch my breath. If we had continued I might have passed out right here.
"Aelita," the way he said my name sent a chill up my spine and he kissed me softly before taking my hands. I smiled and blushed badly as I felt his lips press once more onto my forehead. He was so sweet.
"Hey guys," said a female voice and it startled me. We both looked at the back door and Adelle was there grinning, "Sorry to interrupt, but I promised Elizabeth she could stay up for one movie and she wants to watch it with you two. It'll probably be a kid movie though, so if you want time alone I can just tell her no."
Odd looked at me and shrugged, "It's up to you. I'm happy either way."
The selfish hormonal part of me wanted Odd all to myself so we could kiss like we just did for hours, but the other part wants me to watch the movie so his family likes me. It's important all of his sisters like me.
"Let's watch the movie. I like Disney anyway," I smiled and Adelle nodded looking pleased.
She went back inside and I picked up my towel. Then Odd and I went inside too. Marie sat at the kitchen table looking through her camera, Louise sat beside her doing something on her ipod, Pauline was watching a scary movie in the living room, and Adelle was eating pizza and sat opposite of Marie, along with Elizabeth.
"I picked the 'Lion King 2' is that ok?" Elizabeth grinned up at us.
"Sure it is," Odd smiled at her as he picked up a slice of pizza out of a pizza box, "Want some Aelita?"
I nodded and he handed me a plate with a slice of pizza on it. I didn't realize how hungry I was until I smelled it. It didn't take me long to finish it and afterwards Elizabeth tugged on my arm with a big smile.
"You ready?"
I nodded smiling back, "Coming Odd?" I looked over my shoulder at him as I let the tiny girl pull me into the den.
He smiled, "Mmmhmm," he said with a mouthful of food and he followed. Elizabeth put the movie in as Odd and I sat on the couch.
I blushed and snuggled up next to him and he fluffed a blanket out over us. Elizabeth turned off the lights then sat on a nearby recliner. Under the blankets he pulled me close and my heart was already racing. Just being close to him drove me wild. Something that had never happened with Jeremy. His breath on my skin, his kiss, everything he did made me feel alive.
Although I cringed at the thought of telling Jeremy about us. No matter what he'd figure it out sooner or later and he would not be supportive.
"Something wrong?" Odd asked noticing my face.
"We'll have to tell them you know. All of them eventually about us," I said looking up at him.
"Let's cross that bridge when we get there. Besides, Yumi is on our side," he grinned.
That surprised me, "She is?"
He nodded and kissed my forehead. I shivered uncontrollably, but not from being cold.
We watched the movie like that, snuggling and sneaking a kiss here and there. I'd never been happier. I kept blushing a lot during the lion's love scenes in the movie since I pictured Odd and I. Our situation seemed similar to Kiara and Kovu's in the movie. Their families tried to keep them apart, with us it would probably be everyone at school, most of all Jeremy. But I loved Odd so much that nothing else mattered. Not Jeremy or what our friends would think of us.
When the movie ended Adelle came in.
"Alright Elizabeth, I promised mom and dad I'd get you to bed on time so time for your bath then bedtime," she said looking down at her sister.
"I'm…not even tired," Elizabeth yawned.
Adelle laughed and picked her up, "Come on," she looked and Odd and I and grinned, "Goodnight you two."
"Goodnight," we said at the same time.
After she left Odd smiled at me, "You tired?"
I was a little, but I didn't want this day to end. I shook my head and kissed his cheek.
"Ok then," he blushed, "What do you want to do now?"
I thought for a moment, "We could watch another movie," I suggested grinning. I had no intention of actually watching the movie.
OPOV
She seemed to have a conniving look in her eyes. What is she planning I wondered but I smiled. Whatever it was, I knew I would like it. I stood up to go look for a movie for us to watch. The transition from friend to boyfriend seemed so easy for me, so natural. It wasn't weird at all for me or for her.
I picked "Transformers". It was a good long movie and the only one that I could find that wasn't one of Elizabeth's kid movies. Then I settled back on the couch with her.
She pressed her body against mine and I blushed a lot. I smiled and put my arms around her pulling her closer. I kicked the blanket off of me. With her being so close along with the blanket and the blushing I was getting way too warm.
It was dark except for the light of television. I felt her soft lips press against my neck and I bit my lip trying to fight off a certain feeling. My self-control was not at its strongest tonight and I didn't want to push her too far and screw up. I wanted her badly, but if she knew how much it might freak her out. I finally had her I could not screw it up.
However she was driving me absolutely crazy! She kissed her way up my neck and I unconsciously sighed and tilted my head back for her. The movie sounds were fading away and it had just started. How would I survive 2 hours of this?
When she moved up to my mouth I nearly lost it. My hand found her hair, desperate to keep her lips on mine. I kissed her frantically and she kissed me back the same way which made it even harder to stop. Somehow she managed to get me to lay down and I took her with me so she was half on top of me. My mind was screaming "No!" but my body screamed "Yes".
She moaned softly into my mouth and her hands were fisted into my sweatshirt. Then she moved so she was lying in between my legs. I helped her by scooting more on my back and my hands were on her back pressing her more to me. I couldn't help it. I ached for her, ached for this for a long time now. What was wrong with finally giving in?
NO. This needs to stop right now before I get carried away more than I already have. This can't happen here and now with all my sisters here, no privacy and on the first night we've been dating. It doesn't matter how good it feels, this is about Aelita, not you. Stop. STOP my mind screamed and I finally snapped out of it. I stopped kissing her and stopped my hands from going places they weren't yet allowed to go.
She looked at me and her cheeks went red when she noticed how we were positioned. She must have lost control like I did. We both breathed heavily catching our breaths. I closed my eyes again, focusing on calming myself down before I gazed into her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Aelita. I didn't mean to um…I guess I got a little carried away," I said nervously. Would she be mad? I held my breath waiting for a response.
But she giggled, "It's ok. I think we both did," she smiled sweetly and carefully scooted herself off of me. I sat up and put an arm around her and she snuggled into my side as were before.
"Just curious," I cleared my throat blushing, "Did you…like where it was going? I mean what we were doing?"
She smiled again, "Yes. A lot. I love you, remember?" she blushed and I smiled. I'd never get tired of hearing that.
"I love you with all my heart," I kissed her forehead. We continued to watch the movie like that, and after a while she fell asleep on me.
The movie still had an hour left and I was getting drowsy myself so I gently repositioned her and stood up. I turned off the TV and I gently picked her up to carry her to her room.
I smiled. She was so cute when she slept. She woke up when I was halfway there.
"Odd? What…"
"You fell asleep. I'm carrying you to your room," I told her.
"You didn't have to do that," she said but she was smiling.
"I wanted to," I tightened my grip on her, "I won't drop you."
"I know," she snuggled into my chest making me blush.
I reached her room and gently lay her down on the bed. She didn't let go of me when I stood up and I chuckled.
"Goodnight, princess," I kissed her lips.
She kissed me back then I pulled away before I could lose control again. I covered her up smiling sweetly at her.
"Goodnight Odd," she rolled over.
As I walked out I stopped at her doorway and looked back, "I love you."
"I love you too," she said back sleepily and I grinned and closed her door. Even though I couldn't sleep next to her I knew I'd be dreaming of her. Of my other half, my girl.
