Chapter Fifteen

Peyton

“Peyton, you idiot.”

She fell back against the closed door, her shoulder blades hitting first, followed by the back of her head. Focusing on the pain, Peyton let it wash away the embarrassment of just a few seconds earlier. The two of them had stood there, lips pressed together, eyes wide open as they stared at each other.

Like a couple of teenagers kissing for the first time, she thought. Even as she recalled it her cheeks flushed, heating up. It hadn’t been a passionate, fire-breathing first kiss that had stolen her breath and made her insides warm, like she’d hoped.

No, it had been something out of a teenage romantic comedy film. Almost as bad as showing up to school naked, but not quite.

Yet despite all that, Peyton found herself unable to control the smile on her face as it spread, stretching her cheeks and threatening to split them open. Part of that same inexperienced schoolgirl was as giddy as could be over the fact that she’d just shared her first kiss with the boy she had a crush on.

It was unfortunate that she had no idea what the future held, whether they could move forward with their obvious feelings for each other or not. When her memories eventually returned to her—and the experiences of that day told her they would, in time—Peyton might have to give up whatever she had going with Kiefer, and return to her old life.

She couldn’t just up and abandon it.

Could she?

“Now there’s an idea,” she muttered to herself.

Sun streamed in through her window as she opened her eyes. It was still early. There was nearly four hours until she had her dinner date with Kiefer. If it was still on. The last thing Peyton wanted to do was be cooped up inside on such a lovely day.

Her eyes strayed back to the door. Nobody had been watching it when Kiefer brought her up there. Perhaps whoever was supposed to guard her hadn’t returned yet? If she was going to sneak out into the city before he returned, she would have to go soon.

Zipping her jacket up halfway, she stole from the room quietly, looking up and down the hallway to ensure that nobody had shown up in the minute or two that she’d been inside.

It was empty, and thankfully Kiefer was also gone, not having lingered to reflect on their first kiss either. Dinner was going to be awkward enough without having to run into him right now, so soon after it had happened.

If I kiss him again though, properly this time, then it might not be as bad.

It wasn’t as if she didn’t want to kiss—and be kissed by—Kiefer. She could still recall the feeling of his hands upon her as their lips had met. Despite the trembling and less-than-passionate aspect of it, she still wanted him. That had to mean something, she was sure. Now wasn’t the time to dwell on that, though, as she slipped down the stairs and headed toward the front door.
