First Time Kiss
Logan's POV
Thanks for the nice review.
The next day…
I was lying down at the pool when I heard a loud scream. I looked up and saw Carlos standing on a balcony in the second floor. Carlos wore just swim trunks and his helmet and for a moment I was lost while I watched his amazing body. He screamed again and jumped.
»Hiyaah! «
Carlos fell on a table near the pool. He hit the table, which was smashed, with his back. I jumped up.
»Oh my god! Litos! Are you okay? «
»He groaned.
»Yeah I am fine. «
»Do you feel your feet? «
He nodded.
»I will carry you upstairs and see if you have some serious injuries, okay? «
»Okay. I guess it is good to have a doctor as brother. «
I chuckled and lifted my secret crush up. He was a bit heavy, but I made it. When we arrived at the apartment I gently sat him down in a chair and quickly examined him.
»You have cuts and bruises on your back and a cut in your face and your wrist is sprained. It is nothing serious and the cuts don't need stitches.
»So I can go outside again? «, Carlos asked innocently.
I laughed. That was one of the things I loved the most. He was always so bubbly and hyper.
»Stay here. At least I have to clean your cuts. «
I started at his back. After a few minutes he whined.
»Did I hurt you, Litos? «
He shook his head.
»It is boring, Logie. «
I chuckled.
»I will get you a cool pad for your wrist and you can tell me why you jumped out of the second floor. «
I got him the pad and he answered:
»I wanted to do the ultimate bellyflop. «
I froze.
»ARE YOU KIDDING ME? BECAUSE OF A FUCKING BELLYFLOP? ARE YOU CRAZY? YOU COULD BE PARALYZED NOW! YOU COULD BE DEAD NOW! HOW DO YOU THINK I COULD LIVE WITHOUT YOU? DO THIS NEVER AGAIN! «, I yelled.
Carlos looked up at me with his innocent puppy eyes, which were watering. Immediately I felt guilty, but nonetheless I growled:
»Don't you dare to cry! «
I quickly cleaned the cut in his face and went after that into the kitchen to calm down. I opened the fridge and took a bottle orange juice. I drank and rested my forehead against the fridge. I didn't mean to yell at Carlos, but I couldn't help myself. It was so stupid and dangerous what he did. Carlos never thought about something like that and he scared the shit out of me. Then I heard quiet sobbing and crying. Carlos.
»Litos, are you hurt? Do you feel pain? «
I ran over to him. He shook his head and cried more.
»What's wrong, Litos? «
I hated seeing Carlos cry and I hated it even more to know that I was the reason for him to be sad.
»D-d-d-do y-y-y-you h-h-ha-hate m-m-m-m-me n-n-now? A-A-Are y-y-y-you g-g-g-go-going t-t-to y-yell a-a-a-ag-again? «
»Litos, I didn't mean to yell at you. I am sorry. I am so sorry. «
I hugged him and he cried for a few minutes his head buried in my neck. It broke my heart. After he calmed down a bit, I asked:
»Do you remember the day after your grandmas' funeral? «
Flashback
»Honey? Carlos is here. He wants to see you. He…«
I looked up and saw that Carlos sneaked past my mom in my room. He cried and sobbed.
»Litos! Litos, what's wrong? «
Carlos clung to me and cried in my shoulder. After ten minutes he calmed down a bit and said:
»My dad he-he left…My dad left. H said he couldn't handle it anymore, because Nana is dead and everything and everyone reminds him of her. He-he even said he couldn't look at me anymore, because-because I have her eyes. « He started to cry and sob hysterical. »I-I just came her to see if-if you left me, too. You are my brother. I-I couldn't handle it when you leave me. «
»Carlos…«
He didn't hear me.
»CARLOS ROBERTO GARCIA! «
Now I had his attention. I continued softly:
»Litos. I will never ever leave you. As you said we are brothers. You won't get rid of me. «
»Promise? «
»Promise. «
Flashback End
The next weeks Carlos was extremely clingy. I didn't mind, but I was very worried. A few weeks after he left Carlos' dad came back. Carlos was really happy, but I was always afraid of Carlos getting hurt again.
»I promised you something that day and I keep my promise. I will never leave you Carlos. You mean the world to me and you protected me once, too. «
Flashback
Somebody shoved me brutally and I fell on my stomach and my face hit the sandy ground of the playground. First day of pre-school. I was for ten minutes there and hated it already. I turned on my back and saw a boy standing over me. He was taller than me and he had a malicious grin on his face.
»Aww. Poor baby crying now? «
He moved his leg to kick me, but suddenly he was tackled down by a short Latino. He pinned my bully to the ground and asked me:
»You okay? «
I nodded.
»Carlos Garcia! What do you think you are doing there? We do not tackle other people and force them to lie on the ground. «
Our teacher Ms. Collins lifted Carlos up. The other boy and I stood also up.
»Carlos, I think you shouldn't play outside for the rest of the day. «
»But Ms. Collins. He helped me. «
She was confused.
»Why did that help you? «
»The other boy was mean! He shoved me into the ground. «
»Jett is that true? «
The blonde boy didn't say something and looked stubbornly.
Our teacher sighed.
»I will take that as a yes. Carlos, nonetheless it was really bad what you did and you have to say sorry. «
»He says sorry, too! «, the little boy said and pointed at Jett.
»He will. «
»He says it first! «
»No Carlos. You at first. «
Carlos looked at me. I smiled at him and nodded. He pouted but said:
»Sowee. «
Ms. Collins smiled.
»Good boy. Jett, now you! «
»No! I don't want to! I am prettier! I don't have to! «
»Jett as long as you don't apologize, you aren't allowed to play outside. «
Jett looked grimly.
»Sorry. «
Said boy turned around and trudged away. I turned to Carlos.
»Thank you. I am Logan. «
»I'm Carlos. I liked to do it. He is a meanie. «
We chatted for a few minutes. Then Carlos said:
»I like you. Want to be my best buddy? «
I grinned widely and nodded.
»I like you, too. «
Carlos hugged me.
»Best buddies forever! «
»Best buddies forever «, I replied.
My new friend grabbed my wrist and pulled me with him.
»Come on Logie! I want to seesaw with you! «
Flashback End
Carlos laughed.
»I remember that day. It is the day we became friends. And now we are brothers. «
I took a breath and decided to follow the advice Kendall gave me at the morning: to make a move.
»Actually, I like you more than a brother. «, I whispered and kissed him.
I expected him to shove me away and yell at me or hit me, but after a few moments he kissed me back. The kiss sent sparkles up and down my spine and let the butterflies in my stomach danced . We broke the kiss and locked eyes. His shone full of joy and love and his usual bubbly happiness.
»Carlos, would you like to go out with me? «
»I'd love to. «
He kissed me again. It was just a light kiss, but as intense as the first one.
»But Carlos? «
»Yeah Logie? «
»No more jumping from high places okay? «
