All My Life I've Been Searching For Something

"Uhh.." They stalled for time.

"Fucking tell me" I practically growled.

"Don't freak out" I recognised his accent immediately.

"Jack?!"

"Yes, I'm sorry-I just-let me explain, please" he begged, his fingers lacing with mine. His touch calmed me down so I decided to hear him out.

"Fine. But only because you're a really good kisser" I couldn't help but smile. I heard him chuckle, presumably relieved that I didn't just kick him in the balls and run away.

"From the moment I heard your voice..I haven't been able to stop thinking about you. When we bumped into each other, I felt the butterflies..I felt the electricity running through my veins..you excited me and intrigued me and I have no idea why but..I've never had a first impression like that before. I don't know if you noticed the way I clung onto your every word, each thing you said burned into my brain. You've taken over my thoughts, I can't get you out of my head..I needed to do something about it and when I heard you come in here with Zack the other day, I couldn't resist..I was hoping I'd be able to pass myself off as Zack, come in here, kiss you a bit and then leave again. I hoped it would get you out of my head because you're driving me crazy and I didn't know what else to do"

"You're not muscly enough to pass off as Zack. Plus you use way too much hairspray" he laughed.

"Why didn't you just talk to me? You didn't need to do all this, we could have got there by ourselves, without all the secrecy" he stroked my cheek softly and I instantaneously moved, turning my head slightly, closer to his fingers. His touch was addictive.

"I tried..oh god I tried but you seemed to hate me"

"Because you were a dick to me" I reminded him.

"I was scared..like I said, I'd never gotten a first impression like yours before, I didn't know how to react, I tried to blot it out, push you away"

"How'd that work out for ya?"

"Well I resorted to pretending to be a buff guy just so I could make out with you in a fricking cupboard, I think its pretty damn obvious how that worked out for me" he laughed. I laughed with him.

"You could've just told me..I don't bite. Not unless you want me to, anyway" I joked.

"I know but I didn't know how. You were there in my head, clouding my judgement"

"You're blaming me for this?"

"Yup" he chuckled.

"So...what happens now?"

"I dunno..I mean..I hope you wanna see me again like this, well not see me but-"

"I getcha. And yeah...I think I do..you're making my skin burn, I think its in both of our interests to see each other again"

"I'm making your skin..burn?"

"Yeah..like..when you touch me..I feel all tingly and warm and I can feel where your fingers were when they're gone, you leave a trace" I told him, suddenly nervous.

"Hmm..curious" he murmured, trailing his fingers up my arm, making me squirm and laugh and tell him to stop.

"Bunk off with me?" He asked, his nose suddenly on my neck, his hot breath tickling me.

"Right now?"

"Of course right now" he whispered, his lips ghosting mine. I leaned forward to press them together, proper contact, but they were already gone.

"Okay"

"Oh wait won't you miss a chemistry exam if we bunk off? Maybe we should just do it tomorrow inste-"

"I don't care" I said as I pulled him back down for a kiss.


And for once, I really, honestly just didn't care.
