Thread: Chasing the High || Hikari-Koroki & PressHeart

The kiss was unexpected, and caused Laurens head to spin. A warm rush washing over her and causing the rest of the world to fade away. It was unlike anything she had ever experienced, every sensation heightened and drawn out. When it ended she almost let out a whimper, even though deep down she knew it was something she probably shouldnt have done in the first place. There were a lot of things she shouldnt be doing tonight Maci and El moved to the dance floor, leaving Ben and Lauren in a bit of an awkward silence. You like him? There was a smile on his lips, and it was obvious he was genuinely curious. El and Lauren seemed to be polar opposites, but there was something intriguing about that, even as an outsider looking in. I dont know. The blonde lowered her eyes, cheeks turning red at the question. There was something there, that much she knew. A spark? It was hard to define, as it was a new feeling. Lauren had always picked the safe route...and the blue haired dealer didnt seem to fit that trend. Maci seems mad...are they a... thing ? Lauren didnt really want to ask Ben that question, knowing it might sting, but she couldnt very well keep kissing someone if he and her best friend were some kind of an item. Nah. Youre good. Maci has some kind of crush on him, but I dont think Els really interested in her like that. Seems to me hes more interested in you. Ben tossed her a wink, which did nothing to help the blonde recover from her blushing. Which she was desperately trying to do as she noticed Maci and El making their way back to the table. It seemed tense, the dark haired girl pulling Ben onto the dance floor, but not before El handed her something. Suddenly she was alone with the blue haired dealer, and the butterflies in her belly were going insane. As he asked about her she scoffed lightly. Me? Not much to tell. Im in college, I have a part time job at a coffee shop on campus...thats really all there is. As you know, this The blonde motioned to what was around them, a chuckle falling from her lips. Isnt something I do. Im the girl that stays home Friday night and reads. In her head she was kicking herself, as he would surely lose interest in her at this point. El seemed to be exciting and spontaneous, whereas Lauren color coded her notes for class in her free time. That kiss though, she liked that kiss. Oh well, easy come and easy go. Id ask about you, but I have a feeling thats a loaded question thats only going to be met with a bunch of vague non-committal answers. There was a teasing smile on her lips, as her eyes locked with his. Laurens speech was slightly slurred, eyes a bit hazy, but she was hanging in there pretty well. I know your type too. WIth a giggle she stuck out her tongue at him, before reaching her arm across the table and grabbing the drink that Ben had left behind to go dance. So, you want to tell me whats going on with you and Maci? I dont want her to be mad at me, but...I won't lie and say I didnt enjoy kissing you. The words were just falling from her lips, and as soon as she realized what she had just said she winced. I mean, it was alright. Nothing to write home about. Maybe a 6 out of 10...which isnt bad.
