Callum’s kiss




His smile crinkling at the edge of his mouth, his eyes twinkling as i giggle at his terrible jokes, the taste of blueberry pie as we kissed under the stars, his eyebrows wiggling as he caught me checking out a cute boy, his pride as he introduced me as his fiancé.

All happy memories.

All of Callum.


The cupboard was cramped and smelt of disinfectant, my dress and veil could just fit in the door, Jake pushed past me and turned to see my expression.

“Jake! Stop! It’s over, us, we’re history, it was a stupid thing, kay?... I.... I was drunk....I... I was nervous; I’d just got engaged for god’s sake!.....i wasn’t thinking... I didn’t know what to think! Please, just let it go, i love Callum! I’m marrying him in, oh! Just under 2 hours, so, aka, let me go! I’m humiliated by what happened, I’m so ashamed!”

My words were like knives, and they sliced through Jake, winced every time that he did, but it was the only way to stop the feelings, i like Jake ALOT, but i LOVE Callum! That’s gotta be enough to stop the Jakey feelings!

I looked up, expecting to see Jake sad, but to my mortification, he just looked more determined. He grabbed my hand and looked at me, i frowned, but listened to him, he was after all a good FRIEND.


“I really like you, okay, I mean, reaaaallly like you, I’ve liked you ever since we first met, when you were with Callum. He didn’t deserve you. However you were with Callum and I knew you thought you had something special, so I didn’t want to break you up, and upset you. But I really need to say how I feel about you now........I love you......... but I’m leaving for America, so I won’t try and break up what you have with Callum. He really doesn’t deserve you like I do. I wish i could marry you, have kids, a family, but you have that with Callum, you shouldn’t have it with him. It should be me! I’ve loved you from afar for too long, and i know it hurts to hear it. But i love you, you can’t ignore it! You mean so much to me...”

His face contorted into an angry grimace, and he grabbed mine roughly in his hands, my mind was too far off to complain, though i searched his face for a hint of a joke. Suddenly I was distracted when he moved to kissed me, his face was too beautiful, that i pulled him closer rather than push him away, my mind was screaming at me to stop. Nothing came out of my mouth, as soon as our lips touched he let out a moan, his eyes sparkling as they closed, my heart was pounding, my mind flown away with the moment. I felt like i was floating on mid air, and my mind punched through its drunken haze long enough for me to realize that this was a first kiss, it felt like a sun compared to the weak moon that all the other feeling i had ever felt. I suddenly felt Jake stop, and growled at him, but he pulled away his face glowing, i felt flushed and giggled when i remembered what i had just done. Jake grinned at me, his eyes like fire burning into mine, his gaze swept over my expression, laughing and it seemed that it was a bit cocky, but then it vanished when a bang from outside made us both jump. We froze and listened for the door handle, but there was a mumbling and then footsteps carrying the danger away, so we both began to breathe again, though mine was a bit heavy.

Jake looked at me and i felt a surge of emotion, i stood on tiptoes, and reached up to lightly take ea cheek in each hand. I placed my forehead to his and breathed again, this time i relaxed and let go. We sat down on the floor and i traced the lines of his face with my fingertips, my mind jumbled, i loved Callum, right? Why was i still here then? Did this mean i didn’t love him? A sharp pain shot through my head, I frowned, a headache! Typical!

“What’s the matter? You look worried; i shouldn’t have kissed you, should i? Oh no, are you mad, I’m sorry, I’m sooo sorry, i didn’t mean to, i mean, i thought you wanted to as well, but you if you didn’t, then i can leave now, if you want...”

I stopped his babbling with a kiss, short but sweet, and pushed him so he slammed against the wall,

“Shush! You’ll ruin it!”
He laughed, and wrapped his arms around me, we stayed there for a few minutes, until I felt him lift his arms off of my waist. Annoyed, I wrapped them around me again, and kissed him more fiercely until he pushed me away.

“What? You wanted to! You said so!”

Jake laughed and smoothed out my pout, as his fingers touched my face i was immediately possessed by an electric current zapping through my body, how odd that i hadn’t reacted this way with Callum, even when we had sex! All it took with Jake was simple skin contact and my pulse was sent racing. I controlled myself enough to concentrate on what Jake was saying,
