Chapter 13: Forgetting Logic
Night has fallen upon the desert around him. He looked around but saw nothing but endless desert. He knew that in this he was alone. That was until he looked behind him. "That's right, I brought someone else into this."
Aiden awoke to a soft tap on his shoulder. He turned towards the touch as he opened his eyes. He suddenly closed them as the sun burned his still adjusting eyes. He opened them again more carefully and saw Katie sitting next to him stifling laughter.
"Its okay, the same thing happened to me." She said with a smile.
Aiden showed his own smile as he sat up in the seat.
"Well," He said with a yawn. "I suppose we should head home…I mean to each our own."
"Although I wouldn't exactly protest living with her…"
"Yea, I wonder what our parents will say about us spending the night in the same car." Katie said.
"I bet my mom won't let me not say anything. If we are going now we have to switch sides, I can't drive."
"Right."
They both switched sides but in their grogginess they forgot that they could get out of the car to switch and tried to move past each other. After a few bumps they were on their way to Aiden's house.
"You know, we could have gotten out of the car." Katie said.
"Little late." Aiden said, rubbing a particularly painful bump on his head.
They sat in an awkward silence for the car ride until they reached Aiden's house.
"Well, this is where you get off." Katie said.
Aiden almost sensed a bit of sadness in her voice but her body gave off anxiety.
"Should I kiss her it may be too soon?"
Aiden took a look at the girl sitting next to him also seemed to be going through a similar conflict.
"Well, to hell with logic. This is love."
With that thought Aiden leaned in for a kiss. Katie had the same thought and instead of the intended peck on the cheek their lips met. Tingles traveled through Aiden's body. He felt what it meant to be truly in love. What had been only a second seemed like hours to him. The world disappeared to him; all that mattered to him was her. They slid off each other's lips and fell into a close hug. Aiden felt warm breath on his shoulder as Katie sighed onto it. He reluctantly released from the embrace and said,
"Thank you for everything."
Katie was at a loss for words. She simply nodded as she turned back to looking at the road. As Aiden left the car he felt her gaze upon him. He turned and blew her a kiss. He felt another thing from her, a blush that was not of embarrassment but of silent joy.
Aiden entered his house with the largest smile on his face. He walked into the living room and collapsed onto the couch with a big sigh.
"How was your date?" His mother's voice said from behind him.
Aiden looked around to see her walking into the room in her pajamas eating a bowl of cereal.
"You saw what just happened; I think you know how it went." Aiden said as his mother sat down next to him.
"What? I wasn't watching you ki-"She began until she realized what she said.
Aiden failed in stifling his laughter.
"Anyways, where's dad?"
"He had to go in early for a meeting, a good thing to. He is more conservative about this than me." She said with a wink.
"Well, I aught to jump in the shower quick." He said as he rose and started to go to his room to get a change of clothes.
"Would you like some oatmeal when you get out honey?"
"Sure mom, thanks."
A/N: Well, another short chapter but its better than nothing. I wasn't to sure about the kiss but like Aiden I thought, why not? There may be a time skip ahead so keep that in mind if ya get confused.
