Our Type of Kissing
The only difference between can and could is pretty much the world
“Any kinda boy you want girl, that’s the” my ring tone interrupts me silent
pleas to a God I don’t even know exists. So much for sanity. “H’llo?” I
mumble, not really caring. “Kaley?” Chris’s voice jolts me up like an electric
shock. “Chris? Everything okay?” “Well…” the static crackles. “No. I… I
don’t even know why I’m calling; I just knew I had to. Crazy huh?” I look to
the note. “Not really.” “Why? Kaley, are you alright? Did you… are you… ??”
I smile at his upset tone before sliding down the wall. “It’s okay Chris, just
feelin’ a bit low.” I finger the pills. He doesn’t answer for a couple of
seconds. “Anything a dinner for two can fix?” I manage a pitiful laugh, which
sounds more like a high pitched breath. “Yes, thank you. Chris…” I bite my
lip, “I miss you.” Silence. I hear him sigh, and could swear he is getting
glassy eyed. Oh Gosh, those big brown eyes… a stray tear falls down my
cheek. “I, I need you.” My voice trembles and I try not to cry anymore,
heaven forbid he takes me out with red puffy eyes. “Kaley, you don’t think I
don’t care about you? Do you?” it’s my turn to be silent as the tears brim
over. “Kaley, I care about you more then you can ever know. I’ll pick you up
in half an hour okay?” “’Kay.” I mutter, tryna hold it together long enough to
hang up. I do, and the waterworks let loose. I make a mental note to use
waterproof mascara tonight. After all, if everything goes through, it may be
the last time I ever see him, and who wants a tainted memory anyway?
