Chapter 11 - Kiss
"So…have you kissed her yet?"
I turned my head to the side to stare at Denny in confusion.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Chelsea! You two are going out, right? Surely you must have sampled the goods by now!" Denny smirked, wiggling his eyebrows in a sick gesture that made me snort and push him weakly on the shoulder.
"Shut up, Denny. That's disgusting."
"Not as disgusting as the mental image of you two making out, though!" Denny countered, and I shuddered a little at his statement.
"…Why are you even thinking about that, anyway?" I asked, a bit disturbed by the fisherman. He simply shrugged in response, before casting his line out into the ocean blues once again.
"Vaughn, I don't know whether you've noticed or not, but Chelsea's hot. Why, what I wouldn't give to have a taste of-" Denny's sick fantasies were cut short by my hand coming into contact with his mouth, effectively ending his pathetic attempt at conversation.
"Stop it. That's not funny, Denny," I murmured, my territorial instinct starting to get the better of me. I may not have kissed Chelsea yet, but we were still a couple. I would not have some other man take her away from me.
"Okay, okay, chill man. I was only joking," Denny sighed, pushing my hand away from his face as he pulled his fishing line back, sighing in disappointment as the line came back empty.
"…Is it weird that I haven't…y'know…kissed her yet?" I asked Denny under my breath, sweat-dropping as he simply nodded without a second thought.
"Kinda. You are a couple after all. Couples do that sort of thing on a regular basis. Tells them that they love each other without words, y'know? If you're the soppy type, that is. I'm more of a 'take you to bed' kind of guy myself, if you know what I mean…hey, where are you going?" Denny yelled as I began to walk away from him, back towards the farm.
"I gotta go and kiss Chelsea! Wish me luck!" I yelled without thinking, blushing madly when I walked straight past Elliot and Natasha who were within hearing range.
"Uh…yeah! Go for it, man! I'm rooting for ya!" Denny yelled back, waving frantically to his friend before settling back in his fishing spot.
Slowly, I made my way to Chelsea's front door. There were so many thoughts rushing through my mind that I felt dizzy. What if she didn't like my kiss? What if she broke up with me? What if she wasn't even home? What would I do then? I knew I didn't have the guts to do it at a later date; the adrenaline was pumping through my veins now, so now was the only time I could do it.
I sucked in a deep breath, before knocking on Chelsea's door. There was a moment of silence, and then a faint rustling as she came to open the door.
Well, at least she's home, I thought, breathing a sigh of relief. That exhale of breath got caught in my throat however, when Chelsea opened her door.
The young woman that stood before me was beautiful. Long brown locks cascaded down her back like a rippling waterfall, and her eyes; like the deep blue of the ocean's waves, seemed to sparkle as she met my gaze. And then she smiled - oh, that smile. It made me want to just take her in my arms and hold her; never letting her go…
"Oh, hey Vaughn. How are you?"
That voice. That voice. The voice that sounded like an angel was speaking from the heavens. So amazingly beautiful…
"…Vaughn? Are you oka-mmph!" I cut off Chelsea by moving forwards and capturing her lips with my own, pushing her into her home and slamming the door shut behind me.
Kissing Chelsea was heaven. The way her lips melded against my own was like two puzzle pieces joining together, like we were meant for each other. And her taste; strawberries and sun and every other beautiful thing that Mother Nature had put on this Earth; Chelsea tasted divine. Her skin was so soft; a lot like how a babies felt, soft and smooth and innocent.
Slowly, I parted from her, my breathing heavy and uneven. My eyes travelled from her lips - those gorgeous lips - to her eyes, and what met my gaze made my heart pound rapidly in my chest.
Her eyes were shining with happiness, as if I had just made her the happiest woman on the planet. I smiled at her, still out of breath, and she smiled back; her eyes seeming to shine even more now that her grin appeared. She walked forwards and wrapped her arms around my waist, holding me to her tightly. Slowly, my arms found their way to her back, and I pulled her even closer; relishing in the feeling of her warm body against me.
"Thank you, Vaughn. Thank you so much…I love you…"
