Love Hate

Ch. 10

Theo's Point of View

"I never thought you'd invite me over here again," I said, laughing a little.

He rolled his eyes, "Isn't it better than only seeing each other alone for a minute at a time at school?"

I smiled, "So you want to get me alone more?"

He didn't say anything, he just led me upstairs to his room. I knew by how red his ears were though that I was spot on.

"So, what're we gonna do?" I asked after we got into his room.

His ears were still red, and he hesitated for a few seconds before clearing his throat, "I thought we could ask each other more questions while we..."

"While we..." I said, prompting him to finish his sentence.

He hesitated for a few more seconds before sighing, "Get on the damn bed."

I laughed, "Someone's bipolar."

Despite teasing him, I sat down on the center of his bed.

He sat down beside me and put his arm around my shoulders before he laid down and pulled me with him, so we were cuddling.

I smiled and felt my face heat up as I repositioned a little to be more comfortable. He was laying on his back with his arm around my waist while I used his chest as a pillow, and I had my arm resting across his stomach.

"Too shy to ask so you had to order me around?" I teased.

"Shut up," he said.

I laughed a little.

"Do you have any siblings?" He asked.

I shook my head, "Nope, I just live with my parents. How about you, do you have any other siblings?"

"Nope, I just got stuck with the one."

I laughed, "Don't say that. He seems nice."

"Yeah, so nice that he had to reveal my kindergarten antics."

I lightly poked his side, "Hey, it's good that he told us that. It helps us realize how dumb our fighting has been."

"Yeah..."

"Have you ever had any pets?" I asked.

"Nah, we're not really a pet family. You?"

"We used to have a couple of hamsters but I'm pretty sure one killed the other... so I decided to not have any more pets."

He laughed and I felt my head moving along with the melodious noise, "Seriously?"

I nodded, laughing a little too, "Yeah, that hamster was a demon."

We had been asking each other questions for probably an hour.

"Was... was that your first kiss?"

I smiled a little, "It would have been a hell of a first kiss. Sadly, though it wasn't."

"Sadly?" He asked.

I nodded, "I've liked you for my whole damn life, I wanted you to be my first kiss. But after realizing you would probably never like me, I tried to get over you. I had a short relationship and lost my first kiss. It didn't help though."

He was silent so I moved my head to his shoulder so I could look at his face.

He seemed to be in thought but looked at me after I moved.

We gazed into each other's eyes for a while, I was smiling softly — absolutely loving the moment we were having.

His gaze slowly lowered to my lips, making me unconsciously wet them with my tongue.

I watched as his eyes darkened ever so slightly.

He gently gripped my chin with his thumb and index finger, raising my head up so our lips were centimeters away.

He looked into my eyes and quietly asked, "Can I kiss you?"

I smiled, "Have we ever asked each other before?"

That was all the answer he needed.

He slowly closed the small gap between us, and I felt my heart beating out of my chest as his plump and soft lips moved against my own.

I unconsciously moved my hand from his waist to rest on the back of his neck, pulling him closer to me while my fingers played absentmindedly with his short hair.

The kiss was slow and warm — my whole body felt like it was on fire. It felt so much more intimate than our other kisses and my heart was swelling with love.

When I felt his tongue gently lick my bottom lip, I flinched a little bit — surprised at the action.

He noticed though and pulled away, only a few inches, so we could catch our breaths.

"I'm sorry," he said, breathing heavily, "I got carried away."

I shook my head a little, gazing lovingly into his eyes, "It's okay, I just wasn't expecting it. You... you can do it again."

He smiled and placed a soft kiss onto my lips, "Are you nervous?"

"Maybe a little..." I admitted.

I had never kissed anyone as intensely and lovingly as we just did.

"Don't worry, we won't go any farther than kissing. Okay?"

I nodded. I wanted to tell him how thankful I was, but I didn't know how.

"Do you want to continue?" He asked.

I nodded again, smiling shyly.

He smiled back and softly kissed the tip of my nose before lowering his lips to meet my own again.

He continued to kiss me softly for another minute before I felt his tongue lick my bottom lip again. That time I was expecting it, and I slowly opened my mouth to let his tongue enter.

I had kissed like that once before, but it felt awkward and weird.

It did not feel awkward or weird with Aaron... it felt amazing.

His tongue entered my mouth and slowly swirled around with mine. It explored every part of my mouth slowly and sensually.

After a while, I got the courage to explore his mouth with my tongue and he surprised me by carefully closing his mouth around my tongue and sucking. The noise it made was honestly hot as fuck and it felt really good — I actually let out a small moan.

We kissed for a few more seconds before we parted again, both of us out of breath.

"We should stop now," he said breathlessly.

I nodded, "T-that's probably for the best."

I tucked my head down, resting it on his chest again. I knew if I kept staring at him, I wouldn't have cared about the consequences, and I would have kissed him again.

We laid there for God knows how long after, just cuddling and enjoying being in each other's arms.
