Lahat ng Kabanata ng When Best Friends Kiss: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

(TODD’S POV) The world shrank to the softness of her lips. Every worry—Mum’s fury, Leslie’s venom, the wrecked lunch—melted away under the simple, seismic fact that Rory Davis was kissing me back with such intensity. Her hands, which had been clenched in her lap, came up to tentatively grip the fabric of my jacket. It was that small gesture, that proof of her choice, that undid me completely. I gentled the kiss, pulling back just enough to see her face. Her eyes were still closed, her dark lashes fanning against cheeks flushed a deep, beautiful pink. Her lips were parted, glistening in the low light from the court’s lamps. She looked dazed, enchanted. “Rory,” I breathed. That word sounded like a prayer and a question. Her eyes fluttered open. The emerald depths were wide, luminous, and full of a vulnerable wonder that stole the air from my lungs and made my heart ache. For a second, I feared that I would see regret. Instead, a slow, shy, utterly radiant smile bloomed on her face

THIRD PERSON’S POV“All you had was one simple assignment.” Leslie said clicking her tongue as she paced about the empty space behind the school hall.By now, a good number of kids had cleared out and headed to the next destination which was someone’s house where the after party would be holding. Normally, Leslie would be at that party by now, having the time of her life. But tonight was different. Tonight, she was in a very bad mood. “All you had to do,” she maintained. “Was to make sure that you took her to the dance and then dump her right after. You could not even get that done. Here I was thinking you were smart.” Jason who had been leaned casually against the wall straightened himself.“You can question many things about me but it’s very insulting to have you question my smartness. I am smart! .” He said to her,Jason, himself was not in a good mood either. He still found it very hard to believe that Rory, ever sweet Rory had turned him down and dismissed him in such a noncha

RORY’S POV“Why aren’t you telling me? I don’t understand.” Rosalie protested. She was seated on my bed cross legged with her arms folded across her chest and a pout settled on her lips.“I’m not telling you now but I will tell you later.” I said as I threw an oversized cardigan over my head before putting on a large pair of sweatpants.I was trying my best to settle the thoughts in my head which seemed to be scrambling about in my mind.My phone was still ringing. Todd was still calling me and he had sent a few texts as well. I had not checked so I don’t know if he is the one ringing my doorbell. I do suspect that it’s him. Who else could it be? “Ugh! You are being so annoying my being stingy with the tea.” Rosalie said getting herself off the bed and on to the ground. I did not answer her because I was too busy brushing my hair down and wiping my face. “How do I look?” I asked Rosalie ignoring the pout that was seated on her face.“You know you always look pretty, Bun. By the way

(TODD’S POV) I did not sleep well last night and it was not because I did not feel alright. It was because I felt too exited and too full of anxiety. How could I have a regular night when I had the best night I’ve ever had in my life. Yes, last night was amazing. Rory looked like an ethereal queen and above all, I was able to spend the night by her side, feeling so proud of how beautiful she was. The whole Friday, day and night was totally amazing. On a serious note, it was my best day yet!I wanted so much to call her when I was finding it hard to sleep but I did not want o overwhelm her. So I patiently waited until morning came and it was not too early to call her. But she did not pick up my call or answer any of my text. Maybe she was still asleep, it was a long night last night after all.But I wanted to see her or to talk to her urgently. So, to control my emotions, I decided to go to the gym room for an early morning work out.I spent a solid and sweaty one hour exercising

RORY’S POV“You are the most beautiful person on this planet.” Todd said to me sighing deeply as he said the last words. I was still looking in to his beautiful blue eyes and he looked like someone that was looking at a most prized possession. I felt so special under his heavy gaze that all the anxiety I had been feeling in my bones had vanished.“Stop joking, Todd. I look crazy.” I said nervously narrowing my eyes as I ran my hand over my hair in an attempt to smoothen it. My hair was left down and for me, it was all bouncy and curly and messy. “No, Candy. You’re perfect.” Todd went on to say and then next he pulled me towards his.His hand slipped around my waist instantly sending an electric jolt through my spine.I could feel my heart pounding heavily in my chest and my body was trembling too.We were standing so close to each other, his hand was on my waist, I had only seen this in my dreams and so it was hard for me to believe that this was happening.“Good morning.” He murmu
