Chapter 8: First Kisses Come With Cooties

I wake up with a loud groan caused by the continous ringing of my alarm clock. Why did I set it again? with sleepy eyes I hit the snooze button and get off my bed. Its a monday and precisely the second day after I returned from camp. I am not really a morning person so I hit bathroom and grab my toothbrush moodily however, today I have a horrible headache.

This was not a suprise though considering the fact that I laughed my head off at mireal's predicament yesterday. She was still hung over from all the alcohol she took at the bonfire which resulted in a mega headache that I was so not jealous of and now its my turn and I didn't even take the real alcohol - karma's a bitch.

I had no major plans today so I just washed my face dried up and headed downstairs. I meet my dad at the breakfast table already dressed for work helping himself to some pancakes and coffee.

I would kill to have a cup of coffee.

I was forbidden to take coffee though I lld ocassionally sneak over to starbucks with mireal to have a cup. " morning dad" I greet politely quickly taking a sit and helping myself to the pastry goodness. I suck at cooking and my mum has been trying to teach me.

" honey do you know where I kept the car keys " my mum calls from the living room.

" no dear just try and remember where you kept them " my dad has a weird grin and am no genius but I know he's with the keys. He knows my mum gets flustered when she cant find something.

Mum starts retracing her steps from the last time she had the keys to the present moment stoping right in front of dad and I am shocked.

Theres no way she could read his mind and find out he was with it right?

" Gerald give me my keys " mum looks uninterested and dad feigns confusion.

" what? I never said I had them " he replies not meeting her eyes.

Mum takes away his plate " I have checked everywhere and am sure its with you ".

" okay fine " dad gives up and hands her the keys.

" how did you know it was with him mum " I ask puzzled.

" Your dad needs to see a doctor " she replies sitting down " this is the third time he's playing that prank ".

We all laugh and finish up break fast quickly. "miranda we ll be back by seven take care of yourself okay" mum says from the car. " try and make some spagettei alla bolognese thats what we are having for dinner".

I nod and wave to them as they drive off. Quickly getting back in the house I do the dishes and settle down for some tv glory.

I am about to get comfortable when my phone buzzes.

Pete : are you home from your trip? - -)*

I roll my eyes.

Manda : yes why?

Pete : I missed you

Now thats just peachy.

I don't reply because I cant come up with any nice sentences and mainly because I didn't wanna waste my brain on such things. School was starting in a week and I need all the rest I can get.

I watch a few episodes of my current favourite movie empire then decide its time to do something worthwhile. I make my way to my room and bring out my advanced math textbook. I didn't get to finish my home work before I left for camp and its due first week of school. I know I could be such a nerd sometimes. Well unlike some people I have to work my ass off to get good grades.

I open to one of the numerous pages and start to solve. I am beginning to get fraustrated as I don't even understand a single exercise. I do pretty well in math but advanced math just takes numbers to a whole new level which is gravely annoying I must say.

My phones buzzes and I groan not liking the idea of being distracted.

It better not be pete.

Its not pete its liam and a smile creeps up my lips.

Male god : whats up hun : *)

If you are wondering I definately didn't save his number myself

Manda : Hey just trynna get some school work done

He replies immediately.

Male god : and how's that going for ya?

Manda : No progress. I suck at ad maths.

Male god : want me to come over?

I am a bit confused as I read this.

Manda : what?

Male god : I ll take that as a yes. send me your address

I start to panic at this. I had never had anyone come over - well except from mireal. My parents will freak out if they find out I had a boy over without their permission.

Manda : what? No no no

He doesn't reply and I can feel my heart beat against my chest wildly.

Five minutes.

He still hasn't replied and I clutch my phone like my life depends on it.

My phone buzzes again.

Male god : why no? I am already on my way though just send the address.

I am all too happy to reply.

Manda : you cant come over. My parents will freak out.

Male god : are they home right now?

Manda : No

Male God : geez and your freaking out? So u expect me to just go back?

I don't reply cause my mind is processing a hundred things at once. It seems I am currently having a panic attack.

Male god : FINE

I am sure he is pissed when I read the text. I really want to see him but my parents will kill me .

Thats if they find out.

Oh what the hell.

Manda : okay just wait at the mc donalds after lords high I ll come pick you up there.

Male god : thats my girl :)

I realise I still havent taken a bath so I go into my bathroom and take a quick shower. I change into a short gown and dry my hair. My phone buzzes again.

Male god : where are you?

Manda : on my way

Walking through the busy streets I search for Liam. " looking for me?" someone says behind me startling me.

" told you not to do that " I frown slightly trying to hide my blush.

Would it be fair to say he looks even sexier?

He rolls his eyes and locks his car " lets just go ".

" you came in that " my mouth hangs open as I give the car a once over and he shrugges.

It was a hot ride just like him

I did not say that

I decide not to push it as we walk down the road to the next block where my street starts.

" who were those kids that came with your mum to pick you up? " I asked cautiously.

" my cousins " he says kicking the stones on the side walk.

" you sure? Cos they really look a lot like you "

" yeah and could you drop it please " he says as I open the door of my house and I nod.

" welcome to my humble ho- " I don't get to finish my statement as Liam skillfully turns me making my back hit the door and closing it in the process.

Various thoughts run through my mind in that second some of which wonders if Liam is perhaps a serial killer.

Our faces are inches apart and I can feel his breath on me. The familiar minty scent making me dizzy.

" Where's your room? " he says in a whisper and I gulp.

It was waay too early to go all the way.

" what? " I can barely hear my own voice

" your room..you need help with your exercises remember? " he says with that smirk on his face moving away from me.

" Oh yeah this way " theres no use trying to hide the red blotches on my face.

This has to be the most embarrassing moment of my life. He was just here to help me and I was already swooning.

I have to control myself.

I lead him up to my room still slightly dazed from what just occured. " whao what are you a colour racist? " he says looking round my room.

I arch an eyebrow " I don't think there is something like that ".

" yeah whatever you mind telling me why your room is all purple? " he flops down on my bed picking up a book.

" I happen to love that colour " I say crossing my arms over my chest and sitting on a chair.

" you can sit on your bed you know I promise I wont bite " he says smiling and I give him the finger though moving to sit on the bed.

He goes on to explain and solve some questions. I am shamefully ogling at him not paying attention at all. His dark inky curls fits perfectly on his head and his chiseled jaw goes a long way to complement his features. His lips perfectly pink I bet they would taste good too. His blue eyes are skye blue now and I can tell he's happy. I sit there wishing I could run my hands through his hair like he usually does.

" and this should be enough to help you through the rest " he says after what seemed like a few minutes. I check the time and he has been here a full hour.

I didn't even learn anything!

" thanks " I manage a smile.

" anything for my girlfriend " I am sure I look like a tomato " you seem to blush at anything I say " he adds smirking.

" yes you happen to have that effect on me " I am guessing thats not the reply he was expecting because he's also blushing.

Who knew Liam was capable of blushing at something I said.

" I should go now " he says running his hand through his hair " your parents could come anytime ".

" yeah your probably right " liams eyes are diverting from my eyes to my lips and I try not to smile.

Is he shy to actually make a move on me?

Thats just cute making me fall for him more

We make it downstairs and he still acting unsure.

Maybe he's scared I ll freak out.

As we walk silently through the busy street my heart keeps beating faster. Do I want him to kiss me?

Hell yeah

I have been in a few situations that involved kissing but it never happened. So sadly I had virgin lips. I wasn't really worried that I would be bad because mireal made me watch some cheesy chick flicks and it was supposed to prepare me for the real thing.

I take a quick look at him and I can see he's not planning on making the first move. He probably doesn't want to destroy what he just started. Mireal would definately have a heart attack if she finds out he came over and nothing happened.

Would it be weird if I made the first move?

" Liam? " his name slips out before I can stop myself.

" yeah? " he says looking down at me.

I really dunno what to say. Kiss me? Can you please kiss me? They all sound desperate and that is an image I would never love to portray.

" remember - er - at camp " I fiddle with my fingers " when you asked for a parting gift ".

" yeah I remember " he says confused " I gave you my watch ".

He did though and it was a really nice watch that I unfortunately broke. " yeah I accidentally broke it ".

" wow you did what now? " he says unbelievably " its only been two days ".

" yeah so I decided to make it up to you you know since I didn't get to give you anything " I say.

" really? " he says smiling " should I close my eyes for the suprise ".

I cant tell if he is being cocky or actually serious.

" I don't think that is necessary " I don't know what else I can say to give him a hint and I am getting fraustrated. " remember what you asked for? ".

He thinks for a moment and then turns to look at me intently his eyes searching mine " are you saying what I think your saying? ".

Definately a de javu

I dont get to reply as his lips captures mine in one swift movement both hands on my cheeks holding me in place. My whole world stops and I can feel fireworks going off above my head. His lips are soft against mine as they move slowly and I feel charges going down my spine into the ground.

He pulls away slowly and my eyes flutter open. I am about to panic when I see the huge grin on his face. " its definately better with someone you love ".

We continue our walk until we get to his car in silence. He gives a kiss on my cheek before winking and driving off.

When am sure he's far off I start screaming and jumping letting out all the excitement that has been building up in my chest. A few old ladies give me weird glances but I dont care I skip all the way home. I feel like a fucking two year old.

Nothing could bring down my happiness right now. I feel a little chilly as I approach my porch but I shake it off and enter my house.

I had to prepare dinner. Heading straight to the kitchen I grab some spagettei from the kitchen shelf and start boiling. I still feel cold so I move closer to the cooking stove letting the heat seep in.

It doesn't work, my legs feel wobbly and I instantly become dizzy.

I don't think I can complete the cooking so I turn off the stove grab a blanket and lay on the couch already feeling down.

To think a moment ago I was screaming nothing can make me unhappy.

My phone buzzes and I am too happy to reply.

Male god : am home..are you?

Manda : yes but I think am coming down with something

Male god : gosh hope you are okay?

Manda : No am not you gave me cooties ;(

Male god : thats not possible :) :) :)

Asshole.

I hear my parents car pull in and they enter annoucing their arrival.

" am over here mum " I say clutching the blanket closer around me.

" Oh my baby are you okay sweetheart? " mum looks really worried and keeps feeling my head to get my temperature. " I ll go get some drugs " dad offers entering the kitchen.

Mum helps me up and takes me to my room tucking me in.

" what exactly happened? " she said taking a sit at the edge of my bed " you were fine before we left this morning did you do anything strenuous? "

Oh you have no idea

" I just tried completing my school work " I say innocently making the cutest face I could manage in my sick state.

Dad enters with a little tray of my dinner and leaves immediately. " mum when did you meet dad? " I ask.

She chuckles a little " I was twenty then " then gives me a look " why are you interested".

" I just wanna know" I shrugg taking a spoon of my dinner " was he your first kiss". She moves closer so she's sitting comfortably on my bed. " yes actually, your granny was very strict with me being the only girl and all so I didn't date much when I was your age".

" Oh so do first kisses come with cooties? " she laughing now tears dripping from her eyes a little " no of course not. They are the best especially for us girls ". She goes on to tell me how dad kissed her and I discover that he's a total romantic.

This day would have ended well if I hadnt gotten sick. Though being in bed gave me a lot of time to think about the kiss I still feel goose bumps all over me. Would I be doing more of that?

Definately
