The Bombshell Effect

Maybe I’d hold the trophy one more time, and maybe I wouldn’t.

His mouth took mine in a searching, sweet kiss, and everything was gone except us.

“I love you, too,”

“Because I fell in love with her.”

“Because no one will ever speak about her the way Marks did and get away with it. Not in front of me,”

But was I in love with Luke Pierson?

Yeah.

I wish you could’ve kissed me out in the sun.

“Your turn.”

She tilted her head and leaned back on the desk. “Say please.”

“Kiss me,” I told her, my tongue darting out to lick my lips.

“You kiss me,” she volleyed back.

And I didn’t want to fight the pull anymore.
