Our kiss slowly ended. But it was amazing. I opened my eyes and could barely see hers burning back into mine as distant, flickering lights danced across them.
"As much as it rambles, I like your mouth," I told her with a smirk. And she had seemed to like mine as well. Because damn, she was a good kisser. She gave a huge smile that made the lights in her eyes seem to shine even brighter than before.
"Why don't we get to that crowd before the next song starts?" I challenged. "I'll race you!" I took off right away as she called out to me that I wasn't being fair for starting the race right away and all. But soon enough, I heard her beautiful bubblegum laugh trailing behind me.
I ran as fast as I could. I kicked up sand and it squished beneath my feet and between my toes with each pounding footstep. A large wave washed up and spread across the shore. It met my feet and I discovered the water was warmer than usual tonight.
I watched as Hal caught up with me and even ahead of me some. She was fast.
We finally arrived at the outskirts of the crowd. She won, by the way, but she didn't rub it in my face or anything. She took my hand and pulled me in, and we both were engulfed by the sea of people. We began to dance at the mouth of the crowd to the shaky music until we were sweaty and out of breath.
I was having a really good time just dancing with her. That's when I bumped into the boys again.
"Luke!" Mikey found me in the crowd as Hal was still caught up dancing to the music. "Where'd you guys go? We couldn't find you for the longest time!"
"Just came over here to check out this band," I shrugged as I tried to speak over the music. A girl appeared next to Michael. She was a tall, blonde girl with blue eyes and heavy eye makeup. She wore only a pink skirt and a blue bathing suit top.
"This is Luke, Talia. And Luke, this is Talia," Calum introduced us. I didn't like her. Despite the fact she was very pretty, she was nothing compared to Hal.
"Hey Luke," she waved. Yuck.
"Hey," I said, trying to nicely make it sound like I wasn't interested.
"Hey, you wanna play like that sometime?" Cal asked. My attempt at discreetly trying to signal him I didn't like Talia went ignored and unnoticed. I didn't even quite understand what he meant, anyways.
"Huh?" I said.
"He means, do you wanna sign up for our band to get up there for a gig sometime?" Ash informed me. Oh, he was talking about the band.
"Well... Why not?" I shrugged. I was good in crowds, but infront of them? Well, I practically was a whole different person.
"What if we went tonight?!" Calum's face lit up. I shook my head.
"God, you're a crazy brute," I disproved and Talia giggled.
"Lucas, I'm totally serious," Cal went on all obnoxiously. "We got all our equipment in the van Ash drove here in. Plus, I don't even know if they have another band after the second act, and these people look like they could go all night!"
I pursed my lips. "Mmmaybe. Let me just enjoy the night already, guys." I started to make my way back to Hal who probably hadn't even noticed I'd disappeared yet.
"Wait, one more thing," Mikey's cheeky voice rang. He was giving an annoying smirk. He pulled me aside from everyone and handed me something secretly that felt like a wrapper of some sort. It was a condom. "In case you really like Talia or something," he winked. "Oh, do you think Hal will want one, too!?" These boys were always so intrusive. I could feel my face growing red at this, so I was glad my cheeks were already tinted a little bit pink from dancing.
I quickly took it and shoved it in my pocket. "Uh, I think she's fine," I choked nervously.
Mikey gave me a look, "Oh, sorry, I shouldn't have brought up the whole subject of Hal being with, you know, other guys and--"
"No, Michael, no. Just... shut the fuck up." I shook ny head, "Im totally-- er, it's not an issue!"
He patted my back and said he was sorry for bringing it up. Little did that cheeky bastard know...
Before Cal could force giggly-ass Talia on me, I disappeared into the crowd and found my way back to Hal. She was still dancing, having the time of her life, just like the girl I'd always known.
