My New Addiction
Slow Dance Night
Jess
If there's one thing I love more than late night drives, it's watching the skyline as we pass by the city's streets as if it was ours. The band took a break from all the driving after the tour's first show and Brian, the assigned driver stopped in front of this convenient store. As soon as the van stopped moving, everyone came rushing out to get food, including myself. (I mean, who couldn't resist food, right?) Right after paying for a bunch of Oreos and some marshmallows, I sat down in a bench under the street lamp across the street. I see Jobe giving Courtney a piggy-back ride and everyone was just laughing, I didn't recognize that I was laughing along even though I was a few meters away. Something caught the band's attention and drifted to the other side of the street, leaving me and my spare change alone. While counting my change, I notice a shadow blocking my view. I look up, and there it was, perfection right in front of me, And by perfection, I meant Stephen Gomez. The streetlight illuminated our faces and I didn't realize how sappy this scene was until he smiled at me and I smiled back like we just met after a dozen of years.
"What are you doing all alone?" He said while he still towered over me.
"If it weren't obvious, I was counting my change." I replied shaking the spare coins left in my hands. He sat beside me, hands on his jacket's pocket. We just sat there in silence, nothing but space in between us. I'm pretty sure we were out of the band's sight knowing that they were roaming around after buying food, leaving nothing but the van in the street where I was a few moments ago.
"You know, you could get raped out here."
"You're the only one here, Stephen." Then I realized how perverted that last remark was. "I'm pretty sure that if someone's gonna rape me, the rapist's going to be you."
"You know me too well, Jessica. I’d definitely rape you if you gave me the chance" He chuckled but silence fills up instead and we just sat there yet again.
“I love how I feel comfortable around you even if we talk about the most awkward of topics. Take rape as an example. Why, of all things, should we talk about rape? Entirely random, but I love it." I said, breaking the silence.
"Because we're best friends, Jess." He replied, giving me a piercing look that went straight to my heart. Our eyes make contact and my heart breaks because best friends.
"Oh crap." he said as he stood up from the bench. "There was something I forgot to do before we left for tour."
"What?!" I shockingly replied. This idiot could've forgotten to lock the door and all that. I don't really know.
"This." He pulled me off the bench, put his arms around my waist and placed a kiss right on my lips. I didn't even- I couldn't process any decent thoughts. He cups my face with his hands and just kisses me even more. I couldn't describe how much this made me happy. I could feel the blood pumping through me and myself blushing. His touch made me realize that this shit was real. I wasn't dreaming. I can feel his breath on my skin and holy crap, this was real. I pondered on that thought only to realize that I stopped kissing him back.
"I'm so sorry if..." He looked just as shocked as I was. "I don't- I just..."
"Best friends don't kiss their best friends." I said but I couldn’t help but smile.
"I know. I'm sorry." His head was down, but he just looked at me. Those eyes, oh my god those eyes looked brighter than the city lights.
I leaned in again; our eyes did not break contact.
Our noses were touching and right when I was about to kiss him, I grinned and ran to the van instead. I was laughing as I ran and I was pretty sure he was right behind me, laughing as well. We were just chasing one another, giving each other kisses in between. Best friends don't kiss, so what were we now? I don't know how long this infatuation may last but I couldn't help but wish this night lasted forever. What a perfect way to start tour.
Stephen
I kissed her. Just like that. Everyone else seemed too preoccupied and amused with the city life but I’d rather get the girl I liked, (or pretty much loved my entire life) alone than to be caught up with the city lights.
There’s just something about Jess that I love so much. Maybe it’s how I feel totally comfortable around her. She ran off as soon as our noses touched. She was probably kidding around but she did kiss me back. This may or may not be the best decision I have made in my life. I just hope things steer to the right direction and send us to a happy place filled with cheer and love. See, thinking about Jess makes me think about weird stuff. I don’t know but this leaves me confused. Are we in a relationship now or was it just a kiss? This is making my head ache. I sat down in the middle of the road and Jess positions herself right beside me.
“So, what now?” I asked
“I don’t know.” She said, leaning against my shoulder. “What do you think?”
“I don’t know either.” I replied but I didn’t care. She wasn’t just a friend to me. She was something more. “But I have you with me to find out, right?”
She smiled and intertwines her hands with mine until the band caught up with us and proceeded to head over to another city. I’m casually doing what I love with the girl I love the most. What a perfect way to start tour.
