hand he was still holding. My body smashed into his, and I instinctively raised my hand to push back from his chest, but he wrapped his arm around my waist to keep me in place. We were face to face, our breaths mingling. He smelled so good, and I knew in that moment that I wanted him to kiss me. I had never felt like this and now I knew what it felt like to actually want someone. I mean really want them. “Kathleen?” He whispered, close to my mouth, and I shuddered in his arms, not being able to control my body’s reaction to him.
    “Yes?” I uttered, feeling as though the breath was being taken away from me. I closed my eyes for a moment, and opened them to see his filled with desire.
    “I want to kiss you, taste you, and claim you as mine.” He muttered, close to my mouth. I gasped, as his words took my breath away, and in that sudden movement, my breasts rubbed against his chest. I could feel the friction, of my now hardened nipples, making me feel sensations all over my body, causing a soft moan to escape me. I balled my hands that laid on his chest, into fistful of his shirt, silently showing him how much I wanted him right here and now.
    “Oh Johnathan...” I breathed his name, and it sounded almost like a moan. I never heard this tone of my voice before, I could tell that it was laced with yearning.
    “Shhh…” He uttered. Our lips were so close to connecting, I could feel the warmth of his breath. I could feel the hardness of what was between his legs, as well as the moisture of my panties. I needed this, I wanted this kiss. It would be a first for me, and I wanted it to be from him, right now.
    “Hey!” A strong masculine voice yelled, making me jump. “What are you kids doing down here? You’re not allowed to be down here!” He stated, as we both stared at him in silence. He just glared at us, waiting for us to leave or begin explaining ourselves, I didn’t really know which. I was never one to be caught like this before, I was scared and embarrassed. I could feel the embarrassment filling up my cheeks, and I knew I looked guilty. I tuned back to look at Johnathan, who looked as cool as a cucumber, he smirked while releasing his arm from around me. He stepped back as I lowered my hands from his chest, turned, and began to walk back up the stairs.
    “Come on,” he murmured to me, and I started to walk up the stairs behind him. We exited the door, and I exhaled. He stopped in front of me, looked into my eyes and smiled, then the bell rang. As kid’s started to fill the halls, he then turned and left, not saying another word. While I, on the other hand felt hot, confused, and dazed from the whole thing.
    I didn’t understand Johnathan all too well yet, but I hoped that after today, things would change between us. For the better.
     

Chapter 3
     
    IT’S BEEN THREE days since my time in the stair well with Johnathan, and his words still haunted me morning, noon, and night. ‘I want to kiss you, taste you, and claim you as mine.’ I was in awe, and still in shock, but I had to push those thoughts to the side for now. I was in homeroom, so he would be here soon, and I was determined to ignore him. Since that day in the stair well, Johnathan hadn’t said one single word to me. It was as if we shared a moment, a very brief moment, and then I fell off the face of the earth or something.  I’d see him in school, and he would glance at me, then away. It bothered me a little on the first day, and the second. But now it was the third day, and I was pissed. I wasn’t a person who got angry a lot, so I wasn’t sure how to handle this situation. How could he say those words to me, and then act like I didn’t exist? It had me emotionally confused. I didn’t know what to do about it, and I didn’t want to pressure him, so I wrote a note. I wasn’t sure about giving it to him. Maybe I could tell him how I felt, and see if he really meant what he said about claiming me. I wanted him to claim me. I
