This is just one of those pure fluff stories, I was bored and feeling creative and this is what came out of it! I hope you all like it, remember to comment and favorite please!
First Kiss.
We pull into the boardwalk in Jacobs little blue Audi. There are a couple of other people on the boardwalk. Not many though, considering it's the fourth of July and there will be a firework show here. Normally there are more people here. It is cold though, so I guess that's what's keeping them away. Jacob gets out of his side and I open my door to get out to. Jake grabs a blanket off the back seat so we can sit on it. Though the night is cold, the stars in the sky are bright, most of the time its to cloudy in Port Angeles to see the stars.
Jacob and I walk side by side down the boardwalk to the very end where he places the blanket on the wooden dock and sits down. The sun went down an hour ago but the fireworks don't start until nine. There are faint mummers around us as we sit, staring out at the black water. In the the distance I can see Victoria British Columbia, lit up and dazzling.
"Are you cold?" Jacob asks.
"No, are you?"
"Nope."
We laps back into comfortable silence. Jacob and I are just friends, nothing romantic, but I always wish for more. When we're sitting silently side by side, or talking casually or laughing together, I always feel like that's how its supposed to be. That we're supposed to be something more. I have a huge crush on him, but I know he can't possibly like me that way. When I was younger Jacob was kind of like my big brother, then as I got older he became my best friend. I'm not sure what we are anymore though. We're still friends. I still trust him more then any other person on the planet. He still makes me laugh hysterically when I don't even want to smile. I can still tell him anything. But there's a new edge to all that. A new feeling. The ache of wanting more. At the same time I'm not really sure if that is what I want. I'm comfortable with what I know. With him being my best friend. I know where I am in that mix, I know what its like day to day with Jacob. And Though I want it to be something different, I'm afraid that it would change everything. I've seen girls that have boyfriends, desperate, constantly fighting, never truly happy. I don't want that to happen to us. That's why I could never tell Jacob about my new feelings for him.
"Are you sure? You have goosebumps." Jacob asks again.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Okay, your jackets in the car if you want me to get it."
Jacob is protective of me, and I don't mind it. Its a different kind of protection then mom and dads, even my aunts and uncles protect me different. Jacob isn't demanding and authoritative, he's kind and gentle, the protection you give something you value a lot. He never lets me get hurt, and if I hurt my self with my own clumsiness or stupidity he's always there to pick up the pieces and wipe away the tears. To hug me and make me feel better. When I need advice I most often turn to Jacob rather then mom or dad. Not because I don't love them, just because Jacob understands me in a way my family doesn't.
Jake lifts his arm to look at his watch. "It's almost time." He says, glancing at me and smiling.
I smile back.
I look back out at the water, watch the lights from Victoria dance on the surface. I hear more people sitting down on the boardwalk behind us.
Then Jacob puts his arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer to his side. For a second I hesitate, then lean into him. Its not that I've never sat huddled beside Jacob, its just... never like this. There's a weird feeling to sitting with him like this, like something between us. Something that wasn't ever there before.
I look up at him for a second, he catches my gaze and a smile plays on his lips.
I turn my face toward the water so he doesn't see my blush, but out of the corner of my eye I'm watching him.
There's a whistle and a big crack, I look up to see a bright red firework light up the sky. People behind us clap and children complain about the loud noise. The next one shoots up into the air, bursting white. A blue one follows. Then all three go off together, representing Americas colors, blue, red and white, side by side.
Then the fun really starts. All different colors forming cool shapes and doing tricks in the air. Making different sounds. I look up at Jacob to remark on the prettiness of the lights in the air, but his face is even better then the fireworks, lit up by the colors, eyes shinning, a faint smile left on his face. He looks down at me and for a second his eyes flicker with some emotion, gone to fast to identify.
I shake my head to clear it. "I- Uh, the fireworks. Their really... Pretty."
"They are." Jake agrees, I feel like he wants to say more but changes his mind.
"Jake, I'm cold." I say, just so I could have a few seconds alone. To sort through what I'm feeling and the confusion in my head while he runs to the car. But instead of going to get my jacket he continues to look at me.
I feel my face burning again, I don't know where to look, it seems weird to look into his eyes for more then a few seconds when we're this close, but its hard to look away to.
"Can I try something?" He asks.
I feel my eyes widen but nod my assent.
He bends his head closer to mine. My stomach fills with butterflies and my heart starts pounding so loudly I'm sure he can hear it.
"Is it okay?" Jacob whispers.
I nod again.
He doesn't wait any longer before pressing his lips to mine. My whole body jolts like an electric shock. The kiss is short. To short. And when he pulls away from me I want more then ever for him to be closer. I want his lips back on mine. And I get it. This kiss is more intense, his lips move on mine and and mine on his. But it's still gentle. His thumb tilts my chin up and I put my arms around his neck. He holds me close to him but pulls back a fraction, our lips parting. We sit there, our foreheads pressed together. In the background a firework goes off, then three more. I know its a celebration of America and the fourth of July, but it seems more like a celebration of Jacob and I.
