The warmth from Josh's lips on my skin still seemed to persist, even once I'd woken up the next morning. My heart hammered deeply in my chest when I traced back to the moment that his lips touched my skin and the fact that I could still sense the loss, despite my whole body feeling repulsed when he
"Just checking." He smirked again before pulling himself away from the lockers and making his way towards the cafeteria, the same direction I was walking in and towards the exact same table. I sat down in my usual spot a short few seconds after Josh placed himself to the other end of the table, a
"Shotgun!" My hand was freshly wrapped against the door handle of Tyler's car as the obnoxious sound of Valentina's continued habit, interrupted my hearing. "Shotgun means I'm up front. Better luck next time." She sent me a wink as I stuck my tongue out at her and opened up the car to the backseats
We all somewhat agreed and began getting changed for the beach, using the only mismatched bikini I had brought with me which was unfortunately white bikini bottoms and a red bikini top. "It was the only thing I could find last minute." I complained as a reply to April and Valentina's confused and wa
We all remained in the water for a couple more hours, playing games and acting like the children that we still wished to be before we finally made our way back towards the house, bringing grains of sand with us when we stepped inside and retreated into our rooms. "Only three minutes of shower water
"Finished!" April shouted and heavily pressed the last shot glass down onto the counter. "I think I need to sit down." She saluted to the rest of us before pulling up a seat and settling with sips of the alcoholic drink in front of her. "Truth or dare?" Tyler suggested as he held up the empty vodka
Josh's eyes would continue to bore against mine, his burning gaze threatening to defeat the one glaring back at him. I met his smirk to my obvious discomfort and determination to get him to stop looking at me. However, it posed as the soft reminder for how Josh had reacted when I said I would've ki
Everyone stepped outside and began counting down in synch, eventually reaching the last ten seconds when my eyes caught Josh's again. I'd almost forgotten about the pit at the bottom of my stomach that would form when our eyes met. He stepped around the group, all concentrated on the sky where fir
"In five minutes." If you could see it, steam would be blowing from Josh's ears as he continued to glare at me. He stepped closer, looking directly to me and now standing only a metre away. "Can we talk later?" "I don't think that's a good idea—" "Please." I found myself slowly nodding with the o
"You have some explaining to do." I was barely able to invite them in before Valentina pushed the door open more and stormed inside, throwing herself onto the couch and crossing a leg over the other, angrily. Glaring over to April, she sank slightly before sitting down beside Valentina. "You know
"I don't think I've ever seen her in that state." I was only able to catch the end of the conversation we were all having at the cafeteria table. Valentina and Tyler had been briefed about our trip, mostly asking questions about the night April could barely walk. Nobody had mentioned anything abou
"I can grab a few pizzas on the way back instead of the shit hotel food." I slipped back into the conversation Harvey, Henry and April were having with each other as we dried off and began getting changed again. "The food isn't that bad." I suggested as we began walking back up the beach. "I can't
"How's April?" I chose to ignore whatever Harvey had just witnessed and instead, changed the subject to something I was genuinely concerned about. "Very hungover." Harvey smirked. "A lot more than you two apparently are." He wiggled his eyebrows as Josh hastily slapped him up the back of the head t
Although we had all mastered and perfected the task of getting in late and not getting caught coming back from a party by Miss Johnson, it was soon to become even more interesting when she could be heard making her way down the hall and waking up each female room as Mr Fallon did the same for the bo
When I stepped into my room, I had expected Henry to be beside April, holding her hair over the toilet in the bathroom, nursing her back to her sober self. But the room was empty, void of any noise or presence of another person for the comfort I now needed since kissing Josh. However, with the rea
"Harvey." My voice was enough for him to turn, slight concern written on his features from my interrupting during a very important part of his night. "April's too drunk, we're taking her back to the hotel." I spoke as to inform him before turning around and marching back out to where my best friend
His lips were soft. Softer than I could have ever imagined. My body had been pinned against the door by his own as his lips assaulted mine, leaving a trace of goosebumps from my bottom lip, down to my neck. Everything inside of me was begging to stop, to stop myself from feeling anything other
