I lay here on my bed, alone in my room, crazily obsessing about what just happened. Jerome kissed me, he kissed me! And …and … I kissed him back! In front of Mara… ohhh nooo… Mara.
*Hears a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" I ask.
*door opens, Jerome walks in.
"Hello, I was hoping we could talk?" Jerome asked
I get up and leaned against the wall. "Okay"
He sat beside me and looked me in the eyes. "I'm sorry… for the kiss. It shouldn't have been done like that, not in front of Mara. I hurt her I know. I didn't mean to… I'm sorry to put you in the middle of this" he silently said.
"It's okay, I'm sorry-" I said, but then he cut me off.
"You have nothing to be sorry for, I'm sorry. " He said… I saw tear fall from his eyes. I saw his hand and held it.
"It's okay, as much as I don't want to hurt Mara and I'm scared to admit, but I wanted you to kiss me… I kissed back. I like you Jerome, but I don't want to hurt Mara." I said… He held me.
"I understand… I really like you, I hope you know that… and If I have to wait till Mara is better, and will allow you to be happy… I'll wait… I'll wait for you Joy." He said. He kissed my forehead, and he held me for a while.
"I have to leave, the others will be home soon, and so will Mara." He said. He looked into my eyes, and I looked back into his… I was lost in it… But I hugged him and held him…
"Bye, Jerome" I kissed his cheek. Then he got up and left.
I lay there once again. Thinking about him, who knew that I would fall for him? We're supposed to hate each other, yet I can't help but have these feelings for him.
