Midnight Summer
Chapter Fifty-Two
In that moment there are two things that Gwyn notices. Why she notices them? She doesn't know why but they just stick out like someone set off a firecracker in her head. A really big firecracker with a lot of drums and conges playing in the background.
The first thing she notices is how incredibly soft his lips are.
The second – he smells like coconuts.
She expected him to push her way. To maybe even hit her for this. What she got as a response is even scarier than either of those combined.
He went stock still the moment their lips met.
His eyes widen.
She knows that she has to react and quickly. She has to react before he overcomes the overload that was just thrust onto his brain.
So she reels back, draws her hand back, and punches him square in the jaw while yelling, "That is for being a bastard and this,"
She pauses and kick's him in the place light never shines – unless you're Hidan – and finishes off her sentence with a, "And that's for making me use my first kiss as a tool to distract you!"
Pein's eyes get back their other look. The one that is focused and not shocked like hell. Yet he only places a hand on his thigh as tries to control the pain in his…ah…area.
"Fuck, man. The girl got you good." Hidan's voice cuts in and Gwyn ignores him.
"I don't fear you. I never will…" she stumbles back a few steps as her hand goes to rest on her lips.
"Gwyn?" She hears Naruto yell as she bolts out of the gym.
The hot air slams into her as she sprints away from the gym and her now confused thoughts. She gave up…her…first kiss…
To an ass.
But he was lunging after her with that murder-glee look in his eyes. She had to do something. She knew only to act and…she did the one thing she never wanted to do with anyone.
She mentally decides that she is going to wash out her mouth with the biggest bottle of mouthwash when she gets home. That's where she is heading.
She sprints past the school gates and out into the street. A few car honk their horns at her but she ignores that as well. She has much more pressing matters to tend to.
She doesn't even stop at Gin's shop this time. She races right on by.
She reaches her house in record time and shoots up the stairwell just as her mother calls out to her in alarm. She gets to her room, slams the door behind her, and locks it. She falls face-first onto the bed, buries her head in a pillow, and screams.
Damn it! Why a kiss? I hate the fudging jerk of a man…
She mentally rants about ways to kill him for this when she realizes one thing.
Today is the last day of school. She won't see him for three months. Hell, her mom and brother along with Grandmother Berta will be gone within the hour.
She giggles a bit.
Hell, by the time school starts again, he will have forgotten.
She can start again and stay away from them. Okay…maybe not stay away because pissing them off is a lot of fun. It makes her feel all warm and bubbly inside.
A moment passes before she hears her mom at her door asking if she's alright.
"Yeah, mom! Just don't feel good." She calls back.
Half of that is true.
One, she isn't fine.
Two – she doesn't feel good.
Her stomach is a bunch of knots because she doesn't know what to do. She's never kissed someone before – other than family, anyway.
She never got that close with Mark either. They only held hands and hugged a bit. He tried kissing her once and got a foot to the face. He didn't try it again.
But…
…with Pein?
She kissed him.
KISSED HIM!
And Sakura is worried about never getting a husband because she got in a fight with a naked Hidan. It could have been worse.
At least she nailed him in the jewels. He won't be to chipper after that. She knows that for sure.
She rolls over in her bed and glares up at the ceiling. Her heart is still pounding in her chest…
Her eyes close and she drapes an arm over her face. She can't think about this. She has to push it out of her thoughts. It was so weird.
She gets out of the bed, unlocks the door, and goes to the restroom.
She grabs the mouthwash.
Pours a bit in her mouth.
Swishes…
Swishes…
Spites it out and looks in the mirror.
"What a fucking good way to end the last day of school. Great job, genius." She tells herself.
Oddly enough, her reflection smiles back at her.
