So close

Heather's smouldering gaze peers into your heart through your eyes. You melt against his touch as your body starts to react by itself. Your eyes start to close and your lips press together waiting for his sweet kiss. Your heart thumps heavily in your chest. Best day ever! And then it comes crashing down.

"Yo what's happening Heather? Oh sorry didn't see you with that cutie there." Charlie saunters up the path. With the moment broken Heather straightens himself up while removing his hand.

"Hey, how you been Charlie?" He asks as they exchange a fist bump.

"Nothing much, weekend was pretty lame. Oh, there was this little cutie checking me out this morning. She was admiring all this meat I keep tucked away, nice and safely." Charlie gives you a sly wink that Heather can't see.

"Yeah, yeah. You keep telling yourself that with those three inches you've got." They both laugh and continue walking to college. "See you later Michael." He waves with a smile.

"Oh you fucking bastard..." You complain under your breath. With a warm flutter in your stomach you happily press on following the path.

As you plod along the hallways, mulling over thoughts, on your way to lesson a girl nudges your shoulder. "Hi babe!" Your best friend exclaims. Sam is a natural redhead who likes to keep her hair short, despite that she looks really attractive. Her face is covered in pale freckles that add colour to her pale skin just underneath a pair of deep blue eyes. Her lips are on the thinner side but she keeps them glossy to make them look as good as possible. Honestly she spends so much time trying to look good... I can't blame her really.

"Hi Sam." You reply in a much less enthusiastic tone.

"Michael what happened? What's wrong?" She asks, her face filling with worry.

"Nothing's wrong I just well... Almost kissed Heather a little while ago." She screams in delight.

"Tell me! I need details!" And so you share most of what happened this morning as the two of you walk to class. You leave out the bits about Charlie in the shower.
