Chapter one

chapter uno ^^

 Aiden Smalls, 16 years old

 

 Chapter one.

Aiden’s P.O.V.

Staring.

My mouth open in disbelief at the person in front of me.

Chase Hudson.

17 years old.

Captain of the football team.

Piercing brown eyes.

Amazing smile.

Body that you can only dream of.

*Sigh*

Yes.

I admit it.

I do have a crush on him.

Actually, no.

Not a crush.

It’s more then that.

Love.

Since the first time our eyes met.

And there he was looking gorgeous as always.

He was wearing a long-sleeved dark green plaid shirt, opened to reveal a grey t-shirt that spectacularly hugged his muscular chest and a pair of faded jeans.

However, it wasn’t his attire that had me speechless.

Instead, it was the question he had just asked.

 “Let me see if I get it. You want ME, Aiden Smalls to help you, Chase Hudson, with your dancing?”

I looked at him suspiciously; I just couldn’t believe that he would actually ask me such a thing.

“Never mind, forget it”

I could see Chase was obviously self-conscious about having to ask me for help, since I was labelled as hmmm well a f*g.

As he turned to walk away, I came to my senses.

This was the perfect way for me to finally get close to him.

“Wait!” I grabbed his arm, quickly, in rush. I couldn’t let him get away now.

“No, I mean. Hmmm of course, I’ll help you.” I said to him as I released his arm from my hold. “I’m just surprised you didn’t ask someone else.”

“Oh… well, it just that there’s this girl.” Chase said, a little embarrassed.

I couldn’t help myself from biting on my tongue as he said those words.

Yes.

I was indeed jealous.

He continued.

“She’s super hot! You know, like absolutely gorgeous and she like as this amazing boo…” he stopped as he glared me, then coughed. “Anyways, she wants me to be in this dance thing and I told her I’d do it but hey… I cant a dance a thing and I know you have hmmm talent and all that crap so hmmm yeah.”

He smiled as his hand went through his hair, pulling it backwards.

“I am good.” I admitted, smiling back at him. “Okay then, its settled, I’ll help you get that girl.” I swallowed dry as I said *girl*, I couldn’t help but let a bit of jealousy hit me.

“Cool, thanks. I just have to get this right.”

I could tell Chase was stressed about the whole thing.

“Hmmm, do you think we can work it on now?” he asked.

“Sure, let’s go over some steps and then will ad some music.”

I knew sometimes I came off as kind of bossy, but in this instance it was necessary.

He felt lost and it was up to me to help him.

Wow.

Feeling like the hero right now.

Cool.

“Just pretend I’m her”

We worked on the steps for about twenty minutes, going over each one until Chase had them down perfectly.

I was actually quite surprised on how he was learning so fast.

He wasn’t that bad.

We were working on a duet. He led, since I was doing that s**t’s part.

It was kind of weird, though.

I don’t usually do this kind of dance, especially a girl’s part, but hey. It’s never bad to change routines once in a while.

“Now, let’s try the spin. Put your hands on my waist…”

He interrupted.

“No way! I’m not putting my hands on another guy’s waist!”

I couldn’t help but let out a mad face.

“Do you want to learn or not? I don’t think this girl you’d like if you let her drop into the floor.”

He sighed.

“Okay fine, but don’t have any ideas!”

He placed hands on my waist and then, strongly, he lifted me up.

I found myself concentrated on keeping my balanced as well as the fact that I was actually that close with him.

It was quite hard to focus that way.

I laughed.

That’s all I felt like it.

Quickly, Chase let me down before I’d actually fell.

“Dude, what the hell…” he muttered.

I still laughed.

This was way to perfect.

What the hell was wrong with me?

I let myself sit down on the bench beside us.

As I wiped off the tears of the red face I was now dealing with, Chase sat beside me.

“Hmmmm are you feeling okay?” he asked, I could feel the annoyingness on his voice.

“Yeah. You know, this is just…” I laughed again.

“Just…?”

I turned my head to face him.

He looked completely oblivious, the poor thing, at least that was about to change.

“I really like you” I said.

I felt a huge weight being let out my chest as well as fear.

“okay….hmmm hmmm” that’s all he said.

I felt the awkwardness in his voice.

He wasn’t hoping that I said such a thing, that’s for sure.

I had this overwhelming desire to kiss him before I could actually talk myself out of it.

I leaned closer.

He must have got my intentions because the next thing I knew he was getting away quickly.

“What the… dude, I’m sorry If I gave you the wrong idea but I’m not…” He hesitated, as if he didn’t want to say the word out loud.

“No… I know, I’m sorry” I felt mortified.

What the hell must Chase think of me now?

I could feel my cheeks getting red and my eyes welling up with unshed tears.

I would not let him see me cry.

“It’s just…” I raised my chin but still, I couldn’t look Chase in the eyes. “I’ve never kissed anyone” I confessed “And to be honest, the only person I want to kiss is… well… you.”

Chase was silent and I was sure I could actually hear his pounding hear.

Anxiously, I waited the rebuke that was about to come.

“Okay.”

Wait.

What?

I looked him, in surprised and the shock must have shown on my face.

“Okay. Sure, why not?” he said, with a slight shrug of his shoulders. “You helped me out. As long as you realise it doesn’t mean anything. I’m not you know. But” he added with a shy smile “I think it would be kind of cool to be your first kiss.”

I just didn’t know what to say.

I was stunned.

My chance.

Here it was.

I had dreamed about this moment for like forever.

And now, when the time came, I couldn’t move.

“Is something wrong?” Chase looked puzzled.

“I… can’t…”

How could I actually kiss him when I could hardly breathe?

It was different when I wasn’t going to think about it.

But now, I was immobilized by fear.

What if I did it wrong?

After all, my only practice had been with the uncritical reflexion in my bedroom mirror.

“It’s okay.” He replied with a lopsided grin that always made me melt into a puddle of goo. “I got this.”

Chase slowly reached up and touched my chin, tipping it up.

As he moved closer, I could feel the warm of his breath on my face.

A mixture of emotions had just hit me.

Fear.

Excitement.

Trepidation.

Was Chase actually going to kiss me?

And then, it all left me as our lips touched.

The kiss was soft and gentle.

Way to brief as well.

As soon as I realized I needed to respond, Chase was moving away.

But not far.

My eyes were closed but I could feel him close to me.

His unsteady breath was still caressing my face.

Curious, I opened my eyes just in time to see him leaning to kiss me again.

My mouth, opened slightly in surprise.

And when we kissed this time, the contact was more intimate.

Chase caught my bottom lip as we kissed, letting me realize that I could never have imagined the wonderful feelings now coursing through me.

Our lips separated briefly but only to find a new position.

Unlike the other kiss, this one was firm, insistent and full of barely restrained need.

I was definitely unprepared for the sudden barrage of emotions.

Chase pulled away unexpectedly, as if finally he realised what he was doing.

He looked shocked at what had just occurred.

“Hmmm Chase?”

“Aiden…I…I can’t” He paused as if unsure of what he couldn’t do “Don’t tell anyone about this okay?”

And with that, he left the room.

I took a deep breath.

I could still feel the pressure of Chase’s lips on my own.

I smiled then.

The first kiss, was a favor.

The second was not.

This is good

[-Insertnamehere-]

I kind of like the style that you wrote it in, with a lot of indenting and doing *sigh* instead of, he sighed. It gives off a more emotional attachment to the character. Obviously the reader doesn't have a very big one in the beginning because we don't know the character, but still, in a way it does.
You have some good talent here(: You described the kiss really well actually. A lot of people are cliche about their kisses, but you described it differently. Wait, let me rephrase. You didn't so much as describe the kiss, as show the kiss. I have no idea if that makes sense, and I don't think I can explain it if it doesn't. But that's a good thing, at least to me.
The story line is also VERY interesting, and you ended this chapter very well.

The first kiss, was a favor.

The second was not.

I have to say, it was a perfect way to end it. It leaves the reader wondering what happened with Chase and what's going to happen, because we just witnessed a guy suddenly kissing a guy willingly and wantingly after we just understood that he was straight.
The only thing I would recommend is putting more description in the story. Take longer to describe the dancing, the lift, etc. Don't show us pictures of the characters either, explain them to us, let us get a feel for them by using our imagination.
Other than that it was good.(:
