Chapter 12
Melanie's P.O.V
I've kissed people before. I've kissed a couple guys, Addison. Don't ask, we were thirteen and curios. Although I'd never thought I was going to kiss Danny. I didn't even think this would mean anything. Then again I don't really know what going inside his head at this point. How did he feel? What did he feel? Did he really want to kiss me?
"I'm going to kiss you Daniel."
I mumbled. It slid off my lips as if this was something I would really say. He nodded back at me and I pulled him forward a little bit. I hesitated for just a second as his rapid breath fanned my face. Was I really going to kiss him? Like, really kiss him? He pulled me the rest of the way forward eagerly and I couldn't help it. Our lips touched and I wound up wrapping both arms around his neck. No fireworks. Fireworks didn't happen when you kissed someone. You get tingles. You get weird anxiety that excites you even though you didn't know anxiety could be exciting. You get goose bumps and you feel light. His arms tightened around my waist. As he pushed his pouting lips more onto mine. I couldn't help but grin as he tugged on my bottom lip. I hugged his neck tighter to me and pulled him even closer. He didn't hesitate to capture my lips once again happily. He pushed my back to the wall and I gasped from the cold. He slid his tongue in my mouth and I froze for just a second. He pulled away quickly and we both panted for breath.
"Sorry." I mumbled still trying to breathe properly. He just grinned down at me.
"Don't be. That was pretty hot." He said laughing. My face light up in embarrassment and my head fell onto his shoulder. His laughter bellowed out and rang in the small elevator.
"Aw don't feel bad cupcake, I'm only telling the truth." He laughed even harder and I pulled his hair. Cause you know, we were still tangled in one another's arms.
"Feisty, save that for later." He said. I lifted my head and raised an eyebrow. I removed my arms and tried to sidestep away but his arms held me tightly in place.
"No later. Now let me go." I stated.
"I'll let you go if you hang out with me later." He said smirking.
"I'm not kissing you again, Greyson. What happened in the elevator, stays in the elevator, I thought hm?" I asked smiling.
"Well then I guess the elevator's coming home with me." He said in a sigh. He was trying to avoid making the lopsided grin on his face but it was inevitable.
"Now why would you want to do a thing like that?" I asked trying to subside my own grin. His hands squeezed my hips causing me to jump back, hitting the freezing wall. I bit down on my bottom lip to keep from yelping from the cold.
"Because you're a hell of a lot hotter with red lipstick on so please stop biting your lip." He said resting his head on my shoulder. My eyebrows came together in confusion at his words. I just rolled my eyes and put my hands over his grabbing them. I lifted his arms and slid under them walking to the buttons. I tapped the white, flashing 'pause' button and wondered why they even had it.
Did things like this occur often?
As we stood waiting to get to the bottom floor I glanced to Danny. He had a grin, along with some lipstick. My face became extremely hot as I tried to scrub it off with my hands. He caught on and started to rub his mouth too. Damn stubborn lipstick. I stepped back after a moment of vigorous scrubbing and smiled contently.
Things weren't as awkward as I thought they would be. Defiantly thought they would be awkward. My eyes darted up to the level sign. We were only at floor 7 by now. Even though that didn't matter and I was avoiding Danny's face in fear of things becoming awkward.
"Hey Mel?" Danny asked. I turned to him.
"Hey ye-" He cut me of pressing his lips to mine. His hand was on the side of my neck holding me in place. My eyes shut and I kissed him back. This was much less...invasive than the past one. This one held a small urgency but it also held something I couldn't exactly put my finger on. Something I've never felt when being kissed.
I have no idea what it was but it was, to say the least, mesmerizing. He pulled away the very slightest letting the touch of our lips linger a moment more. Goosebumps rose over my body as he pushed his lips onto mine once again with a kiss full of fire. There was a heat over my body yet his lips on mine seemed to be a cold burn. My arms wrapped there way around his neck deepening the kiss a bit. He moaned at the closeness of our bodies then tour away. I stood there panting for breath, slightly confused when the elevator dinged. Danny cleared his throat and extended his hand as the doors opened to the lobby. I grasped his hand letting him lace our fingers together as we glided towards the ballroom. We finally found the Prom room and Danny stopped us in front of the door way. He turned to me and grinned.
"I thought you weren't going to kiss me again." He said, the stupid smirk never leaving his face.
"I thought that was supposed to stay in the elevator." I stated.
"Touché." He said leading us back in to the ballroom. We found our way back over to Adam and Addi. Addison jumped up and wrapped her arms around me as if I had been brought back from the dead.
"I'm really sorry about the bitch, Mel. I called her out on her cheap makeup job for ya." She said pulling away. I couldn't help but grin.
"Oh aren't you just the best friend a girl could ever have." I said chuckling. She laughed and pulled me down to a seat.
"I know, I know, I'm just great aren't I?" She said batting her eyelashes and pulling her clasped hands to her chest. We all laughed loudly at the girl before us. She sure was special. Adam threw an arm around her and pulled her close.
"Yeah, keep telling yourself that babe." He said chuckling. She gasped and turned hitting his chest.
"I thought you loved me." She cried out. I was sputtering out chuckles at the duo before me as they went back and forth. They really were made for each other. Danny leaned forward and put a hand on my leg. It was barely noticeable because of all the tulle but I could still feel it just a bit.
"Come on, lets dance some more." I groaned but was pulled toward the dance floor, yet again tonight. He made it towards the stage and began dancing to My First Kiss by 3OH!3. We wiggled close to one another, sometimes a limb would touch and I would get goose bumps or chills. Danny finally grabbed my hips so we danced in sync. As we swayed back and forth I slid my hands to Danny's collar coming just a little closer.
"I have a surprise you know." He said winking. I was about to respond when I was cut off by the DJ.
"Alright, alright, alright. East Jr. High are you ready to find out your next Prom King and Queen?" He bellowed out. They crowd bellowed back a joyful cheer. Everyone gathered around the stage as two teachers walked up holding two crowns. They waved and then let him continue.
"So, who do you want to know first?" He asked. A chorus of kings and queens rang about. As loud as everyone was though, king seemed to stand out more.
"Alright, East Jr. High, your next Prom king is...... Daniel Greyson! Please come up to the stage to receive your crown." A cheer rang about and turned to him and smiled. He winked at me.
"I'll be back." He said kissing the top of my head. It was no doubt he would be Prom king. Everyone loved Daniel Greyson. He jogged up the four steps onto the stage and bowed his head for the teacher to place it on his head. He grinned like the idiot he was as he stood straight. Everyone cheered for him. Including me. How could I not be happy the guy I just made out with in the elevator got voted Prom King?
"Alright, drum roll please." The DJ said in a smooth voice. Everyone stomped a little causing him to laugh.
"And East Jr. Highs new, 2015 prom queen is.." He paused letting the anticipation build. I rolled my eyes and turned heading back to the table. For some reason I didn't feel like seeing another girl happy on stage with him.
"Melanie Lynch, get up here girl and come get your crown." He said with a pumped, happy voice.
Everything froze. I slowly turned around in the now decently quite room. My jaw was a bit hung open, whether it be from terror or pure shock I don't know.
"Um, is she not here?" He asked after a minute. I cleared my throat and began my slow journey towards the stairs. Once on stage a, history teacher I realized after a moment, gladly put the sparking crown on my head. Everyone watched in shock as Danny stepped up and took my hand.
"Bow." He mumbled. He lifted out connected hands then bent over, me following. We rose, both with smiles on our faces. To say I wasn't trembling was a big fat lie. I was pure terrified. One person clapped for us, then another, and another and before I even realized what was happening the whole room was hooting and cheering FOR us.
Danny really did this. He made us the Prom king and queen.
My vision became a bit watered down and my hands came to my face in surprise. People were shouting out compliments to us and flashes were going off. Danny wrapped an arm around my shoulders and pulled me into his chest. He kissed the top on my head and I could feel his smile. I was grinning myself as I looked over the crowd. I'm pretty sure just about every student from school was here.
"Congratulations you two. Now for your dance, what song would you like?" The DJ asked.
"Unsteady by X Ambassadors?" Danny asked. The DJ grinned.
"You got it man, now don't let go of that gorgeous girl you got there, got it?" Danny nodded grinning. He grabbed my hand and we made our way to the center of the dance floor. He rested an arm on each curve of my hips, connecting his hands behind me resting his hands right above my rear. I wrapped both my arms around his neck lacing my fingers together. The song started off and Danny's grip tightened. We swayed a bit stepping back and forth some. I wound up resting my head in the crook of his neck as we swayed to the beautiful song. He mumbled the words into my ear as everyone started to gather around us.
"Hold, hold on, hold on to me, cause I'm a little unsteady, a little unsteady."
My fingers curled into his hair holding on.
"If you love me, don't let go. If you love me, don't let go." I mumbled back. I knew the song, loved it actually. He pulled me flush against him. He hummed the rest, almost making me want to sleep.
We danced through the rest of the song them decided to get some drinks.
"So this was your surprise?" I asked as we sipped at our table. Adam and Addi were dancing like idiots to some song I didn't recognize.
"Yeah, sorry if it freaked you out." He said laughing nervously. I laughed and sat back looking at him.
"Please, that was pretty good I gotta admit. How did you do it?" I asked. I honestly wasn't expecting an answer.
"I've got my ways. You ready to head back to that elevator yet?" He asked sipping his drink casually. I choked on mine, you know, casually. He just laughed at me. I finally composed my cough and glared at him. He laughed again and I smirked sitting back.
"And to think, I was going to ride up to the roof." I said in a sigh. This time he chocked on his drink causing me to go into a fit of giggles. He got straight and gave me a hard look. I laughed.
How cute, he was trying to be mad at me.
"Don't worry. I wasn't planning on kissing you again anyway." I said patting his cheek. He rolled his eyes at me.
"Please, you and I both know you can't resist me." He said smirking. I raised an eyebrow and hummed.
"I think that crown is getting to your head, sir." I said in a nasally voice. Danny stared at me for a minute before falling into a loud fit of laughter. He gasped for breath as he laughed even harder. I chuckled a couple times starring at him.
"Y-you okay? It wasn't even that funny." I mumbled the last part. He chuckled a couple more few more times before finally getting it together.
"O-okay sorry, just the face you made." He pauses and laughs some more. He finally sighed and lightly grabbed my chin between his pointer finger and thumb pulling me closer. "It was just perfect." He whispered. I tapped his nose and grinned.
"Yours isn't half bad either." I said grinning. He stood and out stretched his hand.
"Come on, the best parts over let's go find something fun to do." He said grinning. I turned and looked. They only thing to do other than dance was eat and well, I'd done enough of that for a free buffet.
"Okay, just let me tell Addison." He nodded so I stood and walked over to the lovely couple, who were dancing like cavemen. I cleared my throat gaining there attention.
"You guys good? We were going to head out." I said shoving my thumb in the direction of Danny. Addi grinned at me and Adam winked.
"Good. Go get some girly. Be safe" Addison said turning me around. I couldn't help but laugh.
Already did my friend, already did.
