Here without you~
"You okay?" Foster lent down next to me, a soft hand resting on my shoulder. I jumped at the sudden calm feeling that came with his touch. Was that what it was supposed to feel like? Was that what it felt like when the love of your life touched you? Like you were perfectly at ease?
Surely it wasn't the hot, smoldering feeling I felt with Paul. It couldn't be.
I turned to him, his bright, green eyes baring into my own blue ones. I felt weak. Like I was completely numb and perfect. And he was looking at me with a mix of feelings I couldn't detect.
Foster Richter was probably the most beautiful person I've ever seen. His soft, tanned skin was silky and even, his face defined with all his adorable features. His long eyelashes left sad shadows down his cheeks as he looked at me with concern and admiration.
And I lost it.
I just met this boy, and I was already melting in the palm of his hand. But was it really so odd? I felt safe. Safe and loved whenever he was around.
And it didn't matter that me and Paul were fighting, or that I was sitting on a beach crying, or that me and my best friend were, well, no longer friends. All that mattered was that he was here with me. To help me through it all. That out of all the people I could have called-my mother, brother, Paul- I called him. Somewhere deep inside I just knew he'd be the only one to fully understand.
The only one I wanted with me.
I leaned in as quickly as I possibly could, not giving him any chance to escape, before I attached my lips to his in a gentle kiss.
I used to think that every kiss was the same. That it was just the touch of two lips, in a semi-meaningless form of affection. But all of those theories went out the door when our lips met.
It was like we were perfect. Like we matched. Like he was made for me.
I felt higher than I ever had. I felt like I could dance, sing, fight an army. Anything.
I pulled away slowly, keeping his gaze as his breath huffed heavily on my neck.
"Gabby" Just the way he said my name made my breath hitch slightly. He was just so beautiful and perfect and amazi- "I'm gay."
