“I can’t talk now, I have to go to the chippy, and I got some stuff to do, but I’ll ring you as soon as I’m back okay.

“Yeah alright. Whatever you’re doing without me, I want all the juicy gossip.”

“Yeah, yeah. Bye.”

I quickly change my sports top for a t-shirt, leaving my leggings on and I quickly slip my feet into my Adidas Superstars. Running downstairs, I meet Mum in the kitchen and ask for the money.

“What’s the rush?”

“I’m starving, and there’s bound to be a queue.” Raising my eyebrows with my hand out, she quickly gives in.

“Fine.” She pulls a twenty-pound note from her purse and tells me to get her fish and chips. Throwing my hoody over my head, I put the money and my phone in my pocket then head out.

Why do I feel so different with Shelby? I never do sweet; the normal girls I meet; they know I don't like commitment. I have too much shit going on in my life to put up with those stresses, so why her?

I know I’m only eighteen, but she's so different to those girls. I'm willing to put myself out there for her. I was nearer home when she texted me, so I turned around and walked back the way I came. God, I need to get a car. I’ve had my license for just over six months now, all this walking is doing my head in. Leaning against the wall, I see her running towards me. I stand upright, a smile appearing on my face as she gets closer to me.

“Hey.”

“Hey.” She smiles. “I haven’t got long. Mum’s tired which means she’ll be grumpy.”

“We better go then.”

My arm finds its way around her, pulling her into my side. We cross through the park as a shortcut to get to the chip shop. Walking down the path leading us to some trees, I walk us that way as I know there’s no-one about. As she steps in front of me, I tug at her hand. She stops, looks at me and opens her mouth to speak. My hands cup her face, my lips sealing with hers, kissing her. I push the kiss a step further. I also keep in the back of my mind that she is still only sixteen and I don’t want her to think I’m pushing her into anything. Licking along the closed seam of her lips, she accepts me, instantly opening up to me. Stepping closer to me, she clutches at my sides with her hands, pushing her boobs against me. I devour her sweet tasting mouth as her tongue slides against mine. She groans against my lips, making me more determined. With one hand cupping her neck, the other arm wraps around her waist keeping her in place until I slow the kiss down. When I break away from her, her eyes stay closed.

“Open your eyes.” They flutter open slowly revealing those gorgeous hazel coloured eyes. “I’ve wanted to kiss you like that since the first time I saw you.”

“Wow.” She licks her lips slowly, pressing them together, making me want to kiss her again.

“You can kiss me like that whenever you want.”

I dip my head using her reply to my advantage then kiss her again, but a little deeper this time.

“Come on we better get a move on before your mum sends out a search party.” I encase her hand in mine and carry on our way.

Before we reach her house, I stop her, turning her to face me, I kiss her again. It’s like now that I’ve kissed her once, I can’t stop. Smoothing my hand down her back, I stop at the bottom, just above her backside as she slips her hand inside my back pocket. Pulling her against me, I realise I’ll have to stop before I scare her off.

“You better go, your chips will be cold.”

“Yeah. Call you later?” she questions.

“I hope so.” She smiles as she turns and jogs the rest of the way home. Turning away from her, I go home this time.

Opening the front door, I’m greeted by my Mother, drunk again.

“Where have you been?”

“Out.” I push past her and sit down on the couch.

“I need you to go get me some more drink.” She slurs as she walks back into the room.

“Haven’t you had enough?” I question, frowning.

“It’s none of your business.”

“You want it, go yourself.”
