I got home at about 7 last night from day 2 of GACs. I didn't even swim or anything, but only because it was the diving portion. When I got home, I found Kayla watching TV. I told her I was going to go take a shower and that she should get ready for the party. She must listened, because when I came back down, she was dressed in her costume. This halloween, she dressed as what could be best described as a "kinky angel". I, on the other hand, dressed as the grim reaper, which was really nothing more than a cloak and a scythe. We went outside and started on our way.
The house the party was at was only a few blocks away, so we decided it would be better for us to walk there instead of driving. When we got to the party, practically everyone was already there. We were an hour late because of the swim meet, but that didn't mean that we were the last ones there. I avoided kayla for the rest of the party. Most of the women there were rather unsightly, but there were a few good ones. Kayla was one of them. I noticed several times people trying to pick her up. I decided to not make an issue of it. Plus, she was turning them all down anyways. One of my friends (one that had been hitting on her) came up to me and said in a jokingly pissed voice, "Damn, man! I wish you weren't here!"
I asked him why, and he said it was because I was here, that she wouldn't go with anyone. It was just an amusing comment. I laughed and told him that if it made him feel better, I'd put in a good word for him.
It was about 11 when we left the party. By now, the streets were completely empty and all of the streetlights were on. While we were walking down the street, there was this awkward silence between us. There was some sort of a tension in the air. It was really buggin me. We were about half way home when I looked to my side and saw Kayla wasn't there. I looked back and saw her standing under a streetlight I had passed a little bit earlier. She just stood there staring at her feet in a very tight position. I walked back to her.
"Kayla?" I called. She didn't answer. "Kayla, is something wrong?"
I heard her mumble something, but I couldn't understand what she said. I told her to speak up. She finally looked up at me, and said. "Thank you for taking me to the party, Alex." She sounded disappointed.
"Was there something wrong?"
She put on a fake smile. "No, everything was alright. It's just... I wish we could go out to places like this more often."
I was flattered. "I'll see what I can do."
That's when the dam broke. "I mean it Alex. Of all the people I know in the world, you are the one who I get along with the most. I mean, when something is wrong, I look to you, when something isn't right, I look to you, when I just feel bad, I look to you, Alex. You are the best person in the world!"
I lost track of what she said after that. She just began speaking really fast to the point that some of her words slurred. I didn't even care what she was saying anymore. She just looked to beautiful. It was almost mezmerizing. I managed to get her to stop talking when I put my arms on her shoulders. She stopped for a moment and looked at me in the eyes. They were gorgeous. I found myself being pulled in. A second later, I found my mouth gently pressed against hers. I felt a shock flow through my body. It felt amazing. I moved my head back and looked at her in the eyes again. They were wide open, just staring at me. She just stayed there for a moment, then she moved her arms and wrapped them around my head. The look in her eyes changed to one that I've never seen in her before. She began closing them, and we moved into each other, meeting halfway. We stood there kissing for what felt like an eternity. I felt... whole. Her soft lips against mineOur hands and arms shifted to eachother's hips. I attempted to stick my tongue inside her mouth. She let me pass. I almost laughed because she tasted like skittles. The passion of it all was breath taking. I can only imagine what it would have been like to watch, to see the grim reaper and an angel together in a moment of passion (it was just a coincidence, if you ask me. Not as if the costumes actually reflected our personalities).
As much as I didn't want to, knew that we needed to stop. After all, we needed to get home and we were out in the open where anyone could have seen us. She was actually the one who stopped first. We continued walking home, still not speaking, but this time holding hands.
When we got home, everyone was already asleep. We dressed into our pajamas and we both laid down in my bed that night. We held each other, kissing occasionally. And as we began to fall asleep, I finally said the words to kayla that I have been wanting to say for quite a while. "I love you, Kayla."
"I love you, Alex."
We kissed one last time, and went to sleep.
I'm not going to lie, I feel like a million bucks right now. I've done the best I could to describe what happened, and I still feel as though I've still screwed you over on knowing how I'm feeling. I guess the best way to describe it is that I'm in a euphoric state. All of those cliches about love from books and movies; I feel as though I can relate to all of them. I only hope that you people out there will feel the way I do at least once in your life, because let me tell you: it makes life worth living.
