This is it. I’m doing it. After years of imagining what it would be like to kiss Maddey McClain, I’m finally going to know what it’s like. My thumbs press under her chin, tilting her face up higher. A whiff of watermelon hits my nose when I’m centimeters from her mouth. Ah, her lollipop. Closer. I lick my lips in anticipation. Closer. A deep inhalation. Closer. This is it. I close my eyes. Woof! Woof! Maddey and I both jolt from Trident’s impromptu contribution. Fuck! Was I really about to kiss Maddey?
