Until I remembered a little something. ParamoreXO, you have given me inspiration! I thank you xD
Big Damn Table
37. Taste
Gwen flicked a long strand of auburn hair out of her face, keeping her eyes on the page she was so absorbed in. Kevin watched her from across the room, perched up on the window sill, earbuds snuggly fitting into his ears and pounding bass from Hawthorne Heights. He pursed his lips, watching her curl up on the bed and her body relaxing. What was he doing, being so far away from her? They were there, together. Why the distant space?
He closed the space, propping himself on her bed next to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. She smirked, saying something, but the words were a low, soft hum. He unplugged the earphones. "What?"
"May I help you with something?"
"Nothing, just wanted to be close to you."
Gwen rolled her eyes, her smirk softening a little. "Sure, sure."
"I do!"
"Whatever you say Kevin," she sighed, her head relaxing on his broad shoulder. Her eyes were glued on the magazine page again. Kevin looked at it with her and grinned.
"'How to Kiss Your Boyfriend, Tip #1: Always be aware of verbal and non-verbal signs that your guy gives to you.' So what? Is a guy that easy to read? Does my face say kiss me whenever I pucker my lips like this?" He made a fish-lip face, earning a playful smack on the arm. "What? Just asking."
She rolled her eyes, smiling. She still read the page.
"How to Kiss Your Boyfriend, Tip #2: If you don't want to have sex, and it's going in that direction-"
"Kevin!"
"What? Just reading along with you!" Kevin grinned. "Did you know if you read things aloud, you can understand something better?"
Gwen gently pushed him, her face bright red. Kevin instantly regretted saying something like that aloud. Sex. Gwen was always a very timid girl, and when things came to tongue action or anything like that, she blushes and pushes him away. She was a firey girl when it was unintentional. When she tries, she can't do it and fusses. Which was something Kevin shouldn't have teased about.
"Sorry 'bout that."
She sighed, shaking her head. "It's fine. I was kind of asking for it anyway, reading it when you're right next to me." She tossed the magazine across the room. "Hey, do you want anything to drink? Something to snack on maybe?"
"Sure. You got Monster, right?"
She grinned. "Only one more left." She pursed her lips. "How about a mixed one? Monster and Mountain Dew Code Red?"
"Sure. I'll try it." Gwen slid from under his arm and went to get the drinks. Kevin looked around her room, his eyes locking onto her desk drawer. He really wanted to. If Gwen had something secret and she caught him, he'd be dead, no questions asked. But hell, his curiousity got the best of him. He snuck over and opened a drawer. He smirked.
"Bingo..."
No wonder why Gwen carried a different taste everytime he kissed her!
In her drawer was a pouch filled with lip balm. He took it out, looking at a few of them. Red Raspberry, Pineapple, Green Apple, Coconut, Cookie Dough, and his personal favorite, Strawberry Creme. He was a little shocked, seeing how many different kinds there were in that bag. There had to be more than a hundred in there. Why did Gwen have so many in there anyway? Was that just a girl thing or what?
Then a thought crossed his mind. Was there one that he hadn't tried? What if there was something like Papaya, which was something he was allergic to? Then he'd have bubbled up lips. That wouldn't be very attractive, now would it?
He reached for a random one. Berry Smoothie. He uncapped it and dabbed it on his lips. He smoothed it, tasting it. Not bad. He capped it, grabbing a Peppermint one. Over two minutes, he'd gone through thirty different ones. When he got to the thirty-first (Pina Colada), he heard a small gasp. He turned to see Gwen standing at the door, holding two frozen Mountain Dew Code Red-Monster drinks, her jaw hanging on its hinges.
"Uh...I was just...um..." He looked down at the tubes spread on the floor next to his lap, then looked up back to Gwen's face. "I was experimenting."
"With...my lip balm?"
"Yeah."
There was complete silence between the two for a few minutes or so.
A/N: Ah, not as good as Games People Play, that's for sure. *sigh* I got the idea from that one chapter when Gwen put different flavored lip glosses on her lips and Kevin had to taste each one to see how he liked it. Much hotter than this, I can assure you :p This was just plain awkwardness for the two xD Kevin and Gwen finally unfrozed after that and when Ben had heard of this, he's never let it go xD It'll be brought up eventually in another chapter...lol. This one is a bit later, since this was supposed to be Sound. But I fail either way. REVIEW PLEASE!
