Forbidden Love

Chapter 6 ~ Explosions

I decided that it was better not to speak; even if I had tried to, I would have failed miserably. I was too anxious to discover what he had meant by his last words. To support myself, I leant back against a large oak tree, exasperated. I brushed it's cracking bark with my fingertips. He began to amble closer. My heart felt like a ticking time bomb, any minute now, it would explode out of my chest. Now, his face was merely inches from my own and he was getting closer. I closed my eyes as his lips finally met mine. The explosion of passion within me had been ignited. Our lips locked and moved in perfect sync with each other. His body pressed hardly against mine. We fitted together perfectly, like two lost puzzle pieces joining for the first time.

I moved my hand unhurriedly up into his soft, tousled hair. A small moan escaped his lips as his tongue moved like a snake into my mouth. We explored each other's mouths as our tongues danced and intertwined with each other. He pressed himself harder and harder against me and I felt myself tipping closer and closer over the edge. I don't know how long we'd been like that. It felt like an eternity. A place I wanted to be forever.

He pulled away and I found myself short of breath. He put his forehead against mine; the only sound in the air was our heavy breathing.
"Wow," he smiled, finally breaking the tranquil silence.
"Wow," I repeated, beaming back at him.
"Scarlett, you're so beautiful." Those words went straight to my heart. Like he had just shot them at me with a single golden arrow. I couldn't stop smiling like an idiot. I laughed, briefly turning my face from his.
"What?" He the corners of his eyes were creased, he tasted his lips.
"I'm just so happy."
"Me too. I haven't felt like this in a long time." I bent forward to kiss him on the lips again and he complied. I couldn't get enough of him. He is my drug.

But as all good things do, our scene of bliss came swiftly to an end. He glanced down at his watch.
"Oh no! It's already 6! It's Sunday, we're late for the school assembly!"
"School assembly?"
"Yeah," he ran his hands through his hair, which had become messy and disheveled from our moment of ecstasy. "Every last Sunday of the month, the school gathers for a 'meeting' it's compulsory for all students. They take registers to make sure we all attend and if not..."
"We can still make it!" I took his hand and ran; I didn't know what way I was running but I was heading for the light through the trees.
"Wait!" he came to a rapid halt.
"We can't be close in school, we'll be expelled." he kissed my hand and let it drop to my side.
"It's okay, I do understand Kellin," I tried not to sound hurt, after all, it wasn't his fault. In all of this passion I had completely forgotten about the rules which the school adamantly inflicted upon romance.

Did that mean that we won't ever be able to touch again, until we leave school? That's two years away for me, his feelings could change by then... We sprinted up to the main building. The corridors were like ghost towns. Usually so full of life and people, this was the complete opposite of what I'd seen.
"Oh no... everyone's there. Miss Downey's talking." he muttered as he peered through the crack in the door.
"Just go in Kellin," and in that instance, he pushed the door lightly forward.
