Chapter 1

Ramona was so distracted by everything she had not realized she was wondering into the street and about to be hit by a motorcycle. Jackson saw this and instinctively ran out and grabbed her and pulled her back onto the sidewalk.

Jackson had his hands are her shoulders and asked, "Are you ok?"

"Jackson! You saved me!"

Jackson smiled, "Yeah I guess I did didn't I"

Without thinking Ramona leaned in and kissed him! It lasted for only a few seconds and when they separated they just stared at eachother blushing.

Jackson spoke first with his voice cracking a bit "Well we better get moving"

Ramona's face was bright red and she looked down "Yeah let's go"

Jackson and Ramona didn't say a word about the kiss to eachother the rest of the day, they continued there day together but didn't communicate with eachother anymore than absolutely necessary.

Later that night Jackson and Max were in thier hotel room watching TV, they each had their own bed, and when a commercial came on Max wanted to talk.

"Hey Jackson um can I ask you a question?"

"Yeah sure Max" Jackson said but with a slightly annoyed tone.

"Well Rose told me she loved me and kissed my cheek and it was great and then I just yelled Holy chalupas and she walked away smiling"

Jackson laughed, "that's great Max so what's the problem sounds pretty good to me"

"Should I say I love you back?"

"Oh well do you?"

"Yeah I think so!"

"So go ahead Max you should totally say it; I mean it's a little weird since your not even quite 10 yet.." Max cut him off "I'll be 10 in 2 months!"

"Yeah and most people don't even have thier first kiss till after 12-13 and you're nine"

"Mom says I am mature for my age"

"Well I think you should go ahead and say I love you to Rose, even I think it's cute"

"Ok thanks Jackson, I think I will!" Max said feeling both happy and proud.

"Max, since I just helped you do you think you can keep a big secret? I mean it's a huge secret so I'd really be trusting you!"

"Sure Jackson, I can handle it!" Max was getting very excited about this, his big brother was going to trust him with something huge!

"Ramona almost got hit by a motorcycle but I saved her and she kissed me!"

"What?!" Max said as his jaw dropped.

"Yeah right on the lips! I mean a cheek kiss may have even been appropriate but she went right for the lips and it lasted for a bit!"

"Holy chalupas! That's crazy! So do you like her like that?"

"I've never even thought about her like that but when she kissed me it was like the best thing ever! So I don't know, it could have just been a heat of the moment thing that meant nothing or it could mean something real"

Max thought about it for a minute. On the one hand it seemed like a great thing but on the other she had felt like a sister to him and it could be weird.

"Well Jackson I think there is only one way to find out"

"Really what's that?"

"You have to kiss her again! If you still feel something maybe it means you guys could be a thing but if not then you guys would be able to go back to just being friends"

"That's actually really good advice Max, thanks bro"

Max got up out oh his bed and jumped on top of Jackson to hug him, "Your the best Jackson!"

The next morning Max had gone to his Moms room and Jackson saw Ramona in the hallway and Jackson asked her to come in to his room for a minute.

"What's up?" Ramona asked

Jackson looked down and his face became red "I um wanted to talk about yesterday"

Ramona blushed, "Oh, okay"

"When you kissed me I don't know it just felt like something really really special, did you feel the same?"

Ramona smiled and her face was very red, "Yes and I'll be honest it kind of scares me"

"What do you mean?"

"Like I don't know but when I kissed Popko it was fun, new, exciting when I kissed you it just felt I don't know deeper I guess"

"I felt the same! When I kissed Lola it was fun, with you it was intense, what does it mean?"

"I don't know Jackson"

"Do you want to find out?"

Ramona smiled, "Ok"

Jackson leaned in a kissed her putting his hand on her cheek. The kiss lasted for a while before Jackson pulled away.

"Definetly something good!" Jackson said with the biggest grin.

"Definetly" Ramona replied also with a huge smile.

"But what will we tell our friends, our parents I mean we live together" Jackson said.

"I don't know, I always thought you'd be like a brother but we aren't actually related so I think were ok. Our parents might not be too thrilled though"

"Maybe we shouldn't tell them at least not yet"

"Yeah like we could just try doing stuff together out in public and see how it goes before we make any announcements"

"Ok, it'll be tough though" Jackson said while taking her hand and giving her a big smile, "Resisting trying to get another kiss"

Ramona smiled, "I can't believe I think I'm falling for a big goof like you!"

Jackson came in for another kiss and after a few seconds Max walked in the room.

"Wow that is even weirder than I thought it would be!" Max said while shutting the door behind him.

"Oh my God Max, please don't tell anyone" Ramona said with a big blush.

"Don't worry I already promised Jackson I wouldn't tell!"

"What? Jackson you told him?"

"Yeah Max asked me for help and afterwards I felt like he could help me, I trust my little bro!" This made Max give the biggest smile.

"Ok but please Max promise me too, we aren't ready for people to know"

"Don't worry Ramona I promise I won't tell"

After this everyone started getting ready for the big wedding with Steve and CJ.
