I was frozen in shock for a few seconds, too nervous and scared of what was going to happen next to respond but I finally did, my hands coming up to tousle in his hair. The kiss was soft, sweet and kind of excited at the same time. I didn't know how to explain it. Our lips moved in sync and he drew me in closer. Finally he broke away and I looked up in surprise, my hands still touching the ends of his hair.
"Heads up," He whispered and before I knew it I was flying.
I screamed loudly, seeing the water coming up and quickly twisting my body into a swan dive before I hit the icy cold surface. I heard loud laughter from somewhere above me but chose to ignore it.
I had landed in the ice cold water, breathless because gravity had knocked the air out of my lungs. The blue vastness in front of me expanded and narrowed as my eyes fought the salty sea water for vision. I quickly swam towards the surface, taking deep breaths. Hearing a loud splashing next to me I turned to see Logan.
"You asshole!" I punched him, treading water.
"Hey! You got one of your dares done! Plus you got a kiss..." He wiggled his eyebrows and I splashed him again. He sputtered and licked the seawater off of his lips as we made our way slowly to the sandy beach and clambered out.
"Why did you kiss me?" I ask, I was too curious for my own good. It would be my downfall someday. Heat rises up my cheeks and I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear.
"First kisses mean something."
"Yeah so what..."
"I mean if you had your first kiss with a boy destined to break your heart then it's not a good memory of a first kiss is it? If, however, you had it with a boy who was never in your heart in the beginning then you already know that you guys won't get together and he won't break your heart. Plus I wanted to see your face when I pushed you into the water." He chuckled remembering my face and walks along, a tiniest hint of rosy pink seeping across his cheeks.
I think of his words carefully. As much as my first kiss had meant to me, maybe he did have a point. A good one for once. And while I was justified in my decision to get mad at him, I wasn't fully opposed to the idea.
"Oh and also as your 'boyfriend'" He did quote marks with his fingers "It might be weird if I just kissed you on the cheeks and forehead all the time. This is high school." He remarks, flinging a sandy arm around my shoulders. I wriggle them, trying to get his arm off but it stays there, the sand rough against my skin.
"Oh wow, the cliff is really high! I fell so far..." I point towards the path leading to the top of the cliff and groan. I hate walking, or hiking for that matter. Never mind great heights like this.
"What? Afraid?" He says this mockingly.
"Pfffft...I'm not afraid!" I lie.
"Okay then...RACE YOU TO THE TOP!" He sprints off, spraying a wave of sand at my face. I spit the sand out of my mouth and run after him, almost blindly as my bare feet slipped on the sand.
"You cheater! You had a head start!" I yell after his receding figure as I sprint as fast as I could
***
I bend over panting as I reach the top first. I'm pretty sure Logan slowed down, still, I feel victorious.
"Happy?" Logan comes up to stand behind me.
"Very." I smile over my shoulder at him.
"It's getting really dark out there we should go..." Logan starts walking towards the car. I follow him and as he gets in the driver seat and I clamber into the passenger seat I turn to smile at him. The car roars off into the night.
***
I pull up my bedsheets and bury my head down in my pillow, just about seeing through the window to where Logan is passed out on his bed. I let loose a giggle and closing my eyes I drift off into blissful oblivion with dreams full of setting suns, fluffy clouds and cliff side kisses.
***
I wake up to a loud honking noise. Leaping out of bed I make my way downstairs in my pajamas and throw open the front door to see a red jaguar parked up on the curve, Logan's arm draped casually on the open window.
"C'mon! Hurry up!" He shouts, signature smirk still on his face. I blush when I realize I'm still wearing pajamas and rush back inside and change my clothes as I devour a muffin I had grabbed from the kitchen counter, soon after launching myself into his car.
"I'm hungry," He says.
"And what can I do about that?" I gobble up my muffin and rub my dirty crumb filled fingers on my ripped jean shorts.
"Give me your muffin."
"As you can see, my muffin is gone." I smile and give a cheeky wink before reaching over to change the radio station.
"Fine." He grumbles and keeps on driving. The silence stretches out until we reach the school parking lot. Logan jumps out of the car and opens the door for me. I walk out and before I can do anything he laces his fingers through mine and stands before the school doors.
"Ready?"
"As I'll ever be."
