"So Sexy" by munkie

Chapter 8: "Fabulous Kisser"

Okay, so now I have a plan. She is not getting away from me this time. It's after school and I'm going to get her. 'Rory Gilmore, you better watch out. Tristan just got a brilliant idea.'

I walked outside and waited for her to come. When she finally did her head was bent and she looked lost in thought. 'Perfect,' I thought. 'Now she won't know I'm coming.'

I came up behind her, wrapping my arms around her waist. She stiffened and I felt her stomach suck in, her breathing be coming sharp. I bent my head and whispered in her ear, "Has anyone ever told you that you look so sexy when you're thinking." That's when she did something I didn't expect.

She turned her head slowly and caught my lips in a slow, sensuous kiss. I moaned into her lips and she turned fully into my arms, wrapping her arms around my neck. As the kiss started to deepen she pulled back and looked me in the eye for a brief second. Then she turned and ran onto her bus. Before she got on she turned back and looked at me. I could see tears welling in her eyes.

'What the hell just happened here?' I thought. My mind was in a daze and I couldn't do anything but stare at the spot she had just occupied. I did something I'd been doing a lot lately; I groaned.

The tears started to pour down my face as I sat in my seat. 'How could he like me? Why had I done that?' My mind was a blur of "what's", "why's" and "how's". Everything was just so confusing. Everything was happening too fast. I couldn't handle all of this at once.

I felt my head fall against the window. I moaned as I remember the kiss. His lips felt so good on mine. And he was just so sexy! 'Wait. Wasn't that what he just said about me? Ugh! There's something wrong with me!'

My tears continued to fall all the way to Luke's. When I got inside my mom was already there, pestering Luke. I ran up behind her and threw my arms around her, crying into her back. She turned without saying a word and just held me. Luke saw me and set down two cups of coffee without any argument. My mom turned quickly, picked them up, threw down some money and led me outside. We walked home together in silence, with me crying and my mom sipping her coffee. It was odd that she hadn't attacked me with questions yet but I wasn't about to object.

When we got inside she took my bag and sat me down on the couch. I put my head in my hands and continued to bawl my eyes out. It felt so good just to cry. When my mom came back she handed sat down with a bowl of popcorn and handed me my coffee. I took it greedily and drank it all in own gulp. It burned my throat but it was soothing. When I'd finished my mom finally spoke up.

"Hey babe. What's up?" I could tell she wasn't going to push me. She was going to gradually persuade it out of me and I loved her for it.

"My world has turned upside down and my plan is getting ruined! Why did John have to tell me?" I sobbed in her shoulder.

"Okay, honey I'm really sorry, but you're going to have to explain to Mama."

I looked up at her smiling face and I had to tell her. My mom always helps, anyways.

"Well, I had this plan to get back at Tristan," I started timidly. "And well today it sort of back fired, but not really because… I don't know. It's just all so confusing!"

"What was the plan?"

"Well my plan was to make him pay by taunting him. So yesterday I started randomly kissing him in the halls when I knew it would be the worst time for me to kiss him. But then he started to do it to me. So today I was going to kick it up a notch and I started to but his best friend told me some disturbing and horrifying news," I sort of mumbled with hand gestures here and there.

"Uh huh. What did he tell you?"

"Tristan-likes-me-a-lot-and-I-didn't-know-that-and-John-told-me-and-it-got-me-all-flustered! What am I supposed to do?"

"Hold on there girlie. What did you say? Repeat it to me, only slower this time."

"Ugh! John, Tristan's best friend, told me today after I'd played with Tristan's emotions that Tristan has a thing for me!"

"Uh huh… Go on."

"Why is this not coming as a surprise to you?"

"Well it was kind of obvious. Especially they way you explained him. It was actually extremely obvious. You're just my oblivious daughter, but that's okay because I love you anyways."

"Ugh! You knew! And you didn't tell me?" I exclaimed, flabbergasted.

"Would you have believed me?"

"Well, no."

"That's what I thought."

"But I have to believe John don't I? I mean he is his best friend."

"Yeah, I think you're going to have to believe him."

"But I don't want to. I liked the game we were playing. I liked the tentative friendship we were forming. I liked the way things were!"

"Well why can't they stay that way?"

"Of course they can't stay the same! It's different now! I don't know how to act around him!"

"Wait my brain just processed what you said a bit ago."

"What did I say?"

"You like the game you're playing with him? Is this the same game you were just telling me about where you kiss him a lot?"

"Maybe… What's your point?"

"You like kissing him?"

"I – I – No! I don't know."

"Uh huh. I think you like kissing him."

"So? He just happens to be a fabulous kisser!"

"Oh? So now he's a "fabulous kisser"?"

"Yes! Okay? What do you want from me?"

"I'm just saying it's interesting is all."

"Why? Why is it interesting?"

"It just is." She took a moment contemplate over something then she continued more hesitantly, "How do you feel about Tristan?"

"I don't know. Like I said, it's all just confusing!"

"Mhmm… I see."

"What do you see?"

"I see that you like Tristan."

"How did you come to that conclusion?"

"It's obvious really. He confuses you and you're having conflicting feelings towards him. Plus you think he's a "fabulous kisser"."

"True… And he is extremely sexy."

"Interesting… Oh I almost forgot! You never told me why you were crying!"

"Oh. That. Well, after John told me Tristan didn't know that John had told me and he thought we were still playing the game and he was going to kiss me but I switched it on him and kissed him instead but then I ran away crying. Oh, that kiss was so good."

"Hmm… Why'd you start crying?"

"I don't know. The tears just came out. What should I do?"

"You should kiss him tomorrow as if you're still playing the game but continue to kiss him so he gets the message that you want more. Then when you stop you should smile because you have an amazing smile."

"You think that will work?"

"If it doesn't then the boy is stupid. But I already know he isn't so everything should work out fine."

"Okay but if it doesn't I reserve the right to blame all the consequences on you."

"No problemo! I can handle anything you throw, or he throws, at me!"

"Okay. So until tomorrow then."

"Until tomorrow! Now we'll go get some coffee!"
