All Chapters of When Best Friends Kiss: Chapter 91 - Chapter 99

The new morning arrived, stirring a mix of emotions within me. My first waking thought, a warm and welcome embrace, was of Todd, my new boyfriend. I wanted to scream it, shout it from the rooftops a thousand times over! Todd was finally mine, and he felt deeply for me, cared for me immensely. The thought alone sent shivers of pure joy through me.But a tiny, unsettling tug pulled at my chest. We had to keep our relationship quiet for now. As the warm water of my shower cascaded over me, I replayed the reasons in my mind. High schoolers. That was it. I knew all too well the cruel games high school kids played, how they could turn on each other with devastating precision. I couldn't bear the thought of them mocking me, their laughter echoing until our new love withered and died. Even worse, I dreaded the possibility of Todd regretting us, of their taunts pushing him away. And then there was Leslie. Her "evil eye" was a force to be reckoned with, and I knew, without a shadow of a doubt,

(RORY’S POV) Dad had his back to me, flipping pancakes, as I walked into the kitchen. "Dad," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. I was still fuming from last night, and then he had to go and do something so awful this morning.He turned around, carrying a plate of pancakes to the table. He was wearing a black apron that was too short for him. If I hadn't been in such a bad mood, I might have even chuckled."Good morning, Aurora," he said, his voice warm. But then his eyes swept over me from head to toe, and a spark of anger flickered in them. My confidence wavered, and I narrowed my gaze."Good morning, Dad," I mumbled, just loud enough to be heard."You should sit down and have your breakfast. I'm taking you to school in a couple of minutes," he informed me, turning back to the pan.I looked at the table already set. There was a large jug of fruit juice, a stack of pancakes, and a bottle of maple syrup. The usual "Dad breakfast." Even when Mom was alive, this was what he'd make

(RORY’S POV)Never have I ever waited so impatiently for lunch time.Considering that I did not have anything to eat this morning, my hunger should be the main reason why. But it’s not. I am hungry but not the regular kind of hunger.This is a different kind of hunger. A special kind of hunger. A Todd kind of hunger. My head was floating with thoughts of what Todd would do to me during lunch and I could barely wait. Because it was Monday and a brief science club meeting was meant to take place before lunch and so I rushed off to the science club room immediately the bell for lunch rang.My phone vibrated just as I got to the door and my heart skipped a beat. It just had to be Todd.I got in to the empty room gritting my teeth angrilly at the emptiness before sinking in to one of the chairs. I got my phone out of the pocket and sure enough, it was Todd. HEY MY CANDY. MEET ME AT THE PARKING LOT, BY MY CAR. I smiled very hard biting my lower lip as the butterflies overwhelmed me insta

(RORY’S POV)Todd’s lips crashed into mine before I could even process what was happening. One second, I was licking yogurt off my lip—the next, his hand was cradling my jaw as his lips brushed mine gently. Gentle and deep, that was how the kiss started but then his mouth became hot and demanding against mine. A surprised gasp escaped me, but he swallowed the sound, his tongue sweeping past my lips in a way that made my entire body shiver. Oh.Oh wow.I’d been kissed before, but never like this. Never with this kind of hunger, like Todd was starving and I was the only thing that could satisfy him. His fingers tangled in my hair, tilting my head just right, and I melted into him, my hands gripping his shoulders for balance. The car suddenly felt too small, the air too thick. Everywhere his skin touched mine burned, and when his free hand slid down to my waist, pulling me closer, I whimpered against his mouth. Todd groaned in response, the sound vibrating against my lips. “Ror
