Camp Closeted

Chapter 16: Kissing Strangers

"Wow." I exhaled. "It's beautiful."

"I know right, come." Jesse forcefully pulled me as my eyes didn't leave the breathtaking view. I didn't

know a lake could look this amazing at night. "This is my special place so you better not tell anyone."

Jesse's messy back hair was whisked by a sudden wave of chilling air.

"I'm gonna tell everyone." I teased, smirking as he turned back around.

"I hate you." He let out.

"No you don't." I replied, catching up to his pace.

After finally finishing our walk towards the lake and sitting down near it, I finally closed my eyes, taking

a deep breath.

"You better not tell anyone about this place." My eyes met Jesse's, the sounds of water gently hitting

against each other making its way towards my ears. "I mean it." His reddened lips smiled.

"Silence, I'm trying to relax." I teasingly smiled back as the sounds that's surrounded us were incredibly

relaxing.

"Silence me with your mouth." Jesse's deep voice was slightly hoarse as it bluntly spoke, making my

eyes widen again, this time wider, if that was even possible.

"I don't kiss strangers." I furrowed my brows down at him as I couldn't help but look down at his

incredibly chiseled body, almost glistening at me.

"The best types of kisses come from strangers."

I looked at him as his face was incredibly unreadable but yet so perfect. "I beg to differ." I replied,

feeling intimidation still run through me.

I felt his familiarly warm hand fall on mine as we sat still next to each other, watching the lake. "Pretty

cool spot right?" He asked deeply.

I unconsciously threw him a face of euphoria as I felt his gaze at me. "This is my first time seeing

anything like this." I pursed my lips.

Jesse continued to look at me as he prepared to speak again. "So, like, you ever been in a relationship

before?"

I shook my head. "No. Not really." I sighed, an image of Brandon quickly crossing my mind. "Although I

am familiar with the feeling of being played like a toy if that counts for anything."

"Fuck that dude, he's nothing, what's his name?" Jesse's tone getting subtly aggressive should be

taken seriously but for some reason I thought it was so adorable.

"Bra-" He rapidly interrupted me.

"Forget it I don't even wanna know." I couldn't help but lightly laugh at him being so aggressive all of a

sudden. "How did he play you?" Jesse was audibly frustrated, his voice slightly rising in volume.

I took a deep breath before responding, trying to figure out the words to say. "Um w-well, It started back

in freshman year. I was hanging out by myself, like I usually do." I looked down at the black shimmering

water. "Then there he was, standing next to my table, looking at me. Mind you, I've never felt so noticed

in my life by another person. Sounds pathetic I know but I was really surprised. I was surprised

because he was one of the most popular guys at school. Whatever that even means."

Jesse's outmost attention was on full display, his deep ocean eyes staring at me as his bare body was

now completely turned towards me, making me continue my story. "We started talking. People didn't

really mind at first because he convinced them that he only talked to me because I do his homework.

For some reason I was so blinded by how he made me feel that I didn't care. I liked the feeling of being

near someone. Near him. We did so many things together. He was a lot of my firsts."

Jesse quickly spoke out, his face slightly crinkled in confusion. "You guys didn't do it, right?"

"No." I closed my eyes, my words coming out in an exhale. "God no. I think I would've honestly hated

myself if we did, knowing he would later on just out me out to the whole world."

Jesse continued to stare at me as I stared back. His breathing became audibly quicker as I couldn't

help but feel tense, our surroundings immediately becoming stuffy. "You deserve so much better." His

tone sounded deeply gentle and it felt like it enveloped me in a warm comfortable aura.

With a sudden force of motion, Jesse's soft lips rapidly met mine.

My eyes almost fell out of their sockets as my hands touched against his bare hardened chest to try

and stop him.

But I didn't.

I returned his kiss.

Because, well,

I liked it.

what the hellwhat happened to not kissing strangers Micah?

His soft tongue brushed into my mouth as my eyes began to water, my mind starting to feel mushy as

his strong hands clenched onto my jaw to kiss me harder.

Blood rushed all through out my body as the warmth of our bodies danced together, my mind feeling

like it was signaling me too pass out. He tasted like vanilla and mint, his soft plush mouth dominating

over mine as my head filled with complete heat.

Jesse's warm shirtless body hovered over me as I let out a quiet moan, my hands rubbing against his

soft neck.

All of a sudden Jesse pulled back, the blur from my eyes slowly fading away as I got a better look at his

flushed face.

Jesse's cold blue eyes shifted down and up on my face as I loudly gasped. "Fuck!" I screamed, rapidly

grabbing my hoodie and rubbing it against my gushing nose.

I embarrassingly stared at Jesse as I started to panic, slightly moving away from him in genuine anger

and disgust at myself.

The sides of Jesse's mouth dripped blood as I felt disgusted with myself. "Sorry!" I spoke into the fabric

of my hoodie as my nose continued to bleed. "Shit!" I cursed under my breath.

I was visibly caught off guard as Jesse didn't even seem bothered by some of my blood dripping on his

mouth and down onto his body.

What the hell?

Jesse slightly squinted his eyes up as his tongue went over his lips, rubbing the blood off the sides of

his mouth with his bare hands. "It's okay, chill." He remained calm as my mouth was widened.

He let out noises as if he was intentionally tasting it, making me raise my voice at him. "Ew Jesse, what

the hell is wrong with you? That's gross!"

Jesse clicked his mouth as he smirked at me. "You bled into my mouth, it's not like I can just choose

not to taste it."

"You're right, I'm really sorry." I finally moved my hoodie away to check if I stopped bleeding, which I

thankfully did. "Like really sorry. That was so embarrassing and gross."

"No big deal." Jesse's hands surrendered in the air. "For all you know I could be a vampire and I was

planning to taste your blood." He let out an exaggerated evil laugh as I tiredly narrowed my eyes at

him. "Muahahaha."

"Shut up." I surprisingly still managed to smile as I glanced down on the ground. "We should really get

back. We look like a mess. If anyone sees us right now they might think we just threw a dead body into

the lake and we're trying to cover up a murder or something." Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jesse just nodded his head in response with a devilish smirk being formed by his reddened lips. "That

would be an insane accusation."

Fuck, I wish my nose didn't bleed every time I get nervous.

But I'm not gonna lie, I'm kinda happy it did bleed so we won't have to talk about that awkward kiss that

happened out of nowhere on the way back.

I can just imagine seeing Benny's facial expression the second he sees us come back with blood

slightly stained all over our bodies.

What a shit show..
