The Calling
Chapter 34: Payment
I closed my eyes and waited for the impact. It never came.
All I heard was a small tap. I opened my eyes slowly, and saw the night sky. I looked in the a different direction and found myself facing the boy from the vision. He had obviously caught me, seeing as I was still in his arms.
I found myself staring at him, into his deep, purple eyes. He put me down on my feet and watched me, like he was expecting something. "Th-thank you," I stuttered.
"You're welcome," his voice rang out, ringing and clear, like a bell. "but I'm afraid I have to request some payment."
"Oh… My wallets back in my room," I started off to go and get it, after all, this guy had saved my life; the least I could do was spare him some money.
He grabbed my wrist before I had taken two steps. "I didn't say you were paying in cash," he said, as he turned me back around to face him. He took my other wrist in his other hand.
It was obvious what he wanted, especially when he moved his face closer to mine. I owed him big-time, but he was a stranger, I think. He seemed vaguely familiar, but I just couldn't remember anything about him but the vision. My instincts told me he was safe; he was no random creep that went around requesting kisses.
Then there was Anthony, if I did kiss the guy, what would I say? Would I even say anything? I could just not tell him. The only person that would know would be this guy…
"I can keep a secret," he whispered, as if reading my mind, I wouldn't be surprised if he was.
And my last question; did I even want to kiss this guy? Heck yes. My entire body was screaming for me to do it, so much that it blurred any reasoning and overpowered my thoughts.
I leaned forward and pressed my lips against his. I felt him slide his hands off of my wrists and around my back, so that he held me in a tight hug. My hands acted on their own and rose up to caress his face. I felt a drop of water slide down my cheek. A tear? I wasn't crying… Was he crying? Why?
I slowly pulled my head back, and our lips separated. Our faces stayed close. I looked up into his eyes. Were they slightly red? I couldn't tell.
He grinned sneakily and took his hands of off me; I blushed and took mine away from his face.
He stepped back and licked his lips, "Thanks," he said, and then he was gone.
...So, surprised right?
Man, I knew something like this was gonna happen, but I must say it's kind of weird...
...And I'm off to write the next chapter!
