When Distress Meets Distress - S01 E59

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 59

It was dark and awkward. I was just standing there,

tempted to make a run for it towards the door. The

worst part is that it wasn’t silent; you actually heard

people kissing.

I heard someone mutter something before I felt

them lightly grab my shoulder. They turned me

toward them and I placed my hands in front of me

to see who it was. Instead of them tossing me to the

floor like I’d expected, they pressed their lips to mine

gently. I stood there frozen for a minute.

Although I don’t know who kissed me; I know that it

was all I could ever want in a kiss. Their mouth

tasted like Skittles and it sent shivers down my spine,

but my entire body felt like it was on fire. It was like a

movie kiss but better. I slowly reached up and put

my hands on his broad shoulders and stood on the

tips of my toes.

His hands were on my waist. I felt warm like I had

when Jonah touched me. I suddenly wondered who

this guy that I’m kissing is. I have an idea! I’ll touch

their hair and try and compare it to whoever is

around me. I attempted to reach my hands up but

he grabbed my hands gently and returned them to

his shoulders, shaking his head slightly.

The timer was ticking for when the lights were going

to come back on. Percy was counting along to it and

it was at 38 seconds. I pulled away from the

mystery guy at 27 seconds and tried to fix my hair.

Suddenly, I was pulled back by the same guy at 13

seconds and he kissed me one last time before letting

me go, leaving a trace of cologne around as he

moved towards me. “Merry Christmas,” his voice

was breathless and I couldn’t find a trace of

familiarity in it no matter how hard I racked my

brain. Maybe it was because of all of my nerves, or

maybe it was because the only sound I could hear

was the pounding of my heart. I doubt a random

stranger would kiss me, of all people.

I was breathing rapidly and I’m sure my face was on

fire. When the lights came back on, everybody was

apart from their partner aside from the odd few. I

also noticed another peculiar thing when the lights

came back on; Francis was a few feet away from

me. I felt my stomach clench. He couldn’t have been

the one that kissed me right? Jonah was also beside

me. Of course he wasn’t the one that kissed me! I’m

insane to even think that.

I looked around me to see people coupled up. I

turned to see Sierra bright faced and Sabrina

smirking. Sierra looked at me and her eyes widened.

“Who kissed you?” she whispered.

I shrugged. “I don’t know,” I replied a bit panicky.

“I have to go,” I announced a bit louder. I didn’t turn

to look at Jonah or anybody else and instead, I

quickly made it out of that building. I let the cold air

hit my cheeks. I dialed my mother’s number and let

her know that I was coming home.

When I got into my car, I wanted to cry out in

frustration. Who was that? I buried my face in my

hands before driving home.

~~~

“Get up! Get up!” Jer shouted at the top of his lungs. I

sat up quickly, my mind traveling to all the

possibilities. Is there a fire? Did someone die?

“What? What happened?” I asked once I sat up,

panting heavily.

“It’s Christmas!” my brother shouted, tossing himself

on my bed. I placed my hand on my heart as I

glared at my brother.

“You idiot! You nearly gave me a heart attack!” I

exclaimed. My brothers eyes widened and he took

on an innocent look. He reminded me of a 6 year

old.

“But… it’s Christmas,” he told me, eyebrows

furrowed like he was going to cry. I sighed, getting

up.

“Merry Christmas,” I told him. He pushed me back

onto my bed.
