Hey everyone- so here is chapter 2! It's kind of a long one- it leads up to the big first kiss which is in the beginning of the next chapter. Trust me, it's well worth the wait!

Again, these characters are a part of the mastermind-Stephenie Meyer! I'm just using her brilliance for a version of my own creation. I hope you guys like it.

I also recommend that you read Pemberly Rose- Life in Technicolor. It's a Jacob/Nessie story that is nothing short of amazing and actually inspired me in many ways to write my own version.

Chapter Two

I woke up to dawn's light beginning to creep into my room. I smiled to myself, remembering visions of last night. It almost felt like a dream now. Jacob and I had walked for half an hour, talking about our feelings for one another. Now, there was no doubt in my mind that that he had feelings for me. Actually, I think his feelings are a little stronger than mine. I knew with the way things were going, I'd be right where he was in no time. It was too soon for love, but I think may get there one day.

I threw the blankets off me and walked into my bathroom. I looked in the mirror and saw a smiling reflection of myself, I felt like I could burst any moment. No wonder vampires mate for life. With feelings like this, how could they not? But, then I thought about my Grandma Renee and Grandpa Charlie. They hadn't last in their marriage. Maybe it just feels good in the beginning. Thinking about this, I brushed my teeth and jumped into the shower eager to meet Jake this morning.

Last night was definitely unexpected, but in a good way. It opened a few doors to new paths in my life. Don't get me wrong, I imagined what it would be like to be Jake's girlfriend before; but, now, I just felt ready for it. It wasn't a school girl fantasy but something that was just meant to be. There really was no need in fighting it anymore.

I got out of the shower and got dressed, throwing on a pair of destroyed skinny jeans, a purple cami with a black sweater that hung over my right shoulder. I looked at myself in the mirror. God, I look just like my mom sometimes. If it wasn't for the hair and nose, you couldn't tell I had my father in me at all. Although, I was a couple inches taller than she was and a little curvier; but, there really was no denying me when it came to my mom. Too anxious to mess with boots or laces, I grabbed some black flats and my purse. My hair was still damp form my shower so I threw it up in a side ponytail as I walked down the stairs.

The house we lived in now was huge. Bigger than any house we've lived in before. It screamed Esme with its design. She found it while hunting a few years ago. It was an old abandoned 2 story mansion from the late 1800's, with a balcony in the front and back. She fell in love instantly, gutted it, and basically rebuilt from the ground up. I loved it too, especially because it still felt like it had the charm of an older home; like Charlie's house, except massively larger. It had amazingly beautiful dark bamboo floors, brightly painted walls, and of course white furniture. She did let me have some say on what went into my room, but, for the most part, she knew me well enough to where I would have loved it no matter what.

As I reached the last step, I tried to listen to the voices in the house. Alice was in her office up-stairs working on designs no doubt. Jasper was with her, typing on his computer. Esme was humming outside, from the sounds of it, she must be painting. Rose and Emmet were gone, their scents somewhat fainter than the others. I knew Carlisle was at the hospital still, he always pulled double shifts. Then, there was my mom and dad. I could hear them out back as well, the sound of the porch swing softly moving with them.

I walked into the kitchen, my second favorite part of the house. The first was the balcony outside my room. The kitchen was so large and open. Dark granite countertops, an oversized island with a sink, cherry cabinets, and stainless steel appliances. What more could a kitchen ask for? Good thing the wolves were over so much or we'd never get to use it.

I reached the sliding door that was already open, letting the scarcity of the sunny weather in the house.

"Beautiful day," I said, stepping outside.

"There she is," Esme rejoiced, stepping back away from her painting, to hug me good morning. Not a drop of paint on her white clothes.

"Good morning Gran," I said hugging her back. I followed her back to her painting and saw two familiar faces looking back at me. She was painting my parents. I looked up at my mom and dad, the love in their eyes portrayed in the painting barely mimicked that of the real Bella and Edward. "It's amazing Grandma." I boasted.

"Thank you Nessie."

I walked over to my parents slowly, delaying the inevitable. After mine and Jacobs talk last night, I was so emotionally drained, I just came back home and passed out. No one really knew what happened. And before I could make my way over to Jacob's this morning, I probably needed to tell them.

"Good morning sweetheart," My mom said standing to hug me.

" 'Mornin' mom." I hugged her back tightly, breathing in her wonderful mothery scent.

"You get enough sleep?" She asked worriedly… always a mom.

"Yes, thank you." My dad patted the spot next to him on the swing and I joined him, sliding under his arm as my mom sat down next me.

"So, how'd it go?" Dad asked with a smile. He already knew how it went; well a little bit I'm sure.

"Edward, maybe she doesn't want to talk about it." My mom said.

I looked at her appreciatively before saying "No, it's ok mom, It went good." But it was better than good, it was amazing. They both smiled in return. "I mean, I think we're both apprehensive about things, and we got a lot to talk about; but, it just feels right."

"That's great honey, I'm so proud of you. Your dad told me how nervous you were. So, you are better now?" She asked. Leave it to dad to tell mom everything. His lips twitched a bit as he heard my thoughts.

"Yes, much. I'm still nervous about some things, but it's a good nervous. It's just easy now. He's just easy to be around."

"I understand. Jacob has that effect on people." My mom replied knowingly. I froze for a split second, feeling a pang of jealousy. Many years ago, my mom told me the story about her and Jacob. It didn't really mean anything to me then; but now it does. She edited the story a little, I'm sure of it, probably just for my benefit; but, I was going to have to ask Jake about that later. Jacob couldn't deny me the true story, he couldn't deny me anything really, I was his imprint after all. I smiled snugly. My dad said nothing on the matter, which was surprising; but, that too was probably for my benefit.

"Ok, well I guess I'm headed to La Push." I said before standing. They both looked at me disappointed from the lack of information I was providing. I didn't want to give too much away, there is a thing called privacy and I would like mine to be respected. We all said our goodbyes and I headed to the garage. I jumped in my Camaro and turned the ignition. At that moment, the butterflies woke up and were doing a number in my stomach. C'mon Ness, it's just Jake. I shouldn't have said that to myself because, when I thought of his name, the butterflies went spastic. I smiled to myself while pulling out of the garage. I grabbed my cellphone out of my purse before I went any further.

On my way :)

~Ness

I was only half way out of view from my house when phone vibrated with a response.

K, :)… I'll be in the garage when you get here.

Can't wait to see you. ;)

Jake

While the butterflies continued the rendition of the Mambo, I continued to drive. The purr of the engine asked me to drive faster or was it the need to see his face this morning? This is seriously weird. I mean to have these feelings. Jacob has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember; which was since the very moment of my birth. I even remember my mom's face, her human face, sweaty and malnourished. Then, I remember my dad's face as he handed me off to my Aunt Rose. As she held me, I remember seeing a crippling man of pain, Jacob Black, with reddened eyes that were masked with gut-wrenching anger. Finally, his eyes settled on me. He stopped and looked as if he'd been reborn as another. Hatred, anger, hurt, poof- all gone in a matter of seconds. I felt it too, even then, in a different kind of way. I knew he was mine then.

I pushed the gas pedal down faster, unable to contain myself any longer. Mine, I repeated. Is it too soon to think he's just mine? My wolf, my protector, my Jacob? This was always supposed to happen between him and me; but I can't help but feeling worried that I'm expecting too much too soon. I've never even had my first kiss yet. A woman in her twenties, I laughed to myself, never been kissed. I swear I've seen it in a movie before. I was kind of worried that I would be bad at it. Then, another worry hit me… would he even want to kiss me? I licked my bottom lip unintentionally, thinking about his smooth fully lips on top of mine. I bet he was an amazing kisser. He's always kissed me somewhere other than my lips. My forehead, the top of my head, even my boo-boos growing up; though, they were few and far between because of my vampire skin. Sighing happily, I watched the scenery turn into a familiar one. I was close, close enough to smell the beach.

My humming-bird heart beat took to a new level of thudding as I pulled into Jake's unpaved driveway. He built this house with his bare hands about 3 years ago. Esme and Carlisle helped him with the blueprints. The back of the log cabin was completely windowed, overlooking the cliff and the ocean. It was just so Jacob, I couldn't imagine him in anything else really. It wasn't flashy, or too done up; just subtly beautiful. His garage was separate from the house, it too made of the same wood that matched the cabin. I saw his head poke out from the hood of my step-grandmother Sue's truck. His face lit up with my favorite smile. Then I felt the tug around my waste pull me towards him.

"Hey," I blushed

"Hey," He mirrored, he seemed so calm. I should feel that way too. I've known him forever, never been afraid to say anything or do anything around him; but now I'm just so aware of him I'm not sure what to do. "I'm just finishing up here; you can go sit in the house if you want. Emily's bringing some breakfast over her in a bit so most of the pack is already inside." I nodded my head, I had heard them. How could one not? I'm sure even if I was all human, I would have heard them a mile away.

"Naw, I'll just stay out here…" I began before hanging my head slightly to say, "with you." I bit my lip nervously before looking at him. He was smiling again, ugh, it made my heart ache in a way I didn't know was possible.

"So, what's wrong with Grandma Sue's truck?" I asked casually, though actually curious. My Grandpa Charlie married Sue Clearwater when I was about two and a half. So, technically, Leah and Seth were my Aunt and Uncle, but I never called them that… they just didn't feel like my aunt and uncle, more like my brother and sister.

"She blew a belt out in it last week. Charlie's been busy at the station so I told him I'd take a look." He said before closing the hood with a loud thud.

"Oh, and did you fix it?" I wondered.

He looked at me with a "duh" expression before saying, "You know it."

"Oh yes, Jacob Black, master mechanic…" I mocked back, this was easy, this I knew how to do. I could always joke with Jacob, he's my best friend.

"You say that like it isn't true." He jibbed back, walking over to the utility sink. I watched as he washed his being careful to get all the grease out from his fingernails. I walked over to the counter next to him and jumped up on it before sitting down. It too was a normal thing for me to do here. I'd spent countless hours here watching Jake trying to bring life back to his old rusted Rabbit. I'm pretty sure I could dismantle and engine and put it back together now. He began drying his hands on one of the clean rags he kept by the sink as I let me feet dangle back and forth carefully not kicking the cabinet beneath me. One wrong move and I kick a big hole in it. "So, what's on the agenda for today?" He asked watching me look down at my feet unable to quite meet his eyes.

I shrug my shoulders upward and sighed anxiously, "Dunno,". What I really wanted to say was- anything and everything as long as it is with you. Last night he'd told me, he had the day off from patrolling. Also, his auto repair shop was closed today; so he wanted to spend the day together and feel things out, whatever that meant. I honestly didn't care what it meant as long as I was with him. His laughter brought my gaze to him. "What?" I asked curiously.

"You," He said continuing his laughter. Me? What had I done? "You should see your face, Ness, it's priceless." Anger curved the nervousness away and I wanted to punch him, especially, when he doubled over with his laughter. My eyes squinted as I considered boxing his ears. I threw myself off the counter and stood before him a playful growl growing in my chest. He stood up looking at me with laughter in my eyes as I crouched protectively in a predatory stance. "I'm so scared." Jacob prodded some more, before laughing again.

Ok, so he wanted to play did he? I felt the strength ping in my legs as I flipped myself in the air landing effortlessly behind him. Before he knew what had hit him, I kicked gently, taking his legs out from under him. I heard as he hit the floor with a big thud. I felt a twinge of guilt as I also heard the breath knocked from his lungs. But I knew any damage I could cause him would heal in a matter of minutes, the perks of being a wolf. What I hadn't expected was him to be just as fast as he took my legs from out from under me as well. Being the gentleman that he was though, he caught me before I hit the ground face first.

So, there I was in midair, his hands holding me up over him by my hips. The thing that was most curious was that he wasn't letting go, even after I was safe. Then, another shocker, he slowly let me down on top of him. Heat flooded my features, and I didn't fight it. As our torso's aligned, I fought the urge to bring my lips onto his. If he wanted to kiss me, he was going to have to do it. I could smell his sweet breath float over my face, our lips just inches from each other. His eyes locked on mine, and the primal look I'd seen just yesterday took over his features. I licked my lips in anticipation and electricity coursed through my veins; but did I really want my first kiss to be on Jacob's garage floor? Yes, I guess I did. It fit us, fit who we were. His head lifted off of the ground closing the distance between us and I closed my eyes waiting to feel his lips touch mine for the first time.

"Hey guys! Whoa!" Seth's voice came from behind us, "Sorry, ummmm…Em said she couldn't make it, the baby is sick this morning."

Jacob picked me up off of him and stood us both up quickly, aggravation replacing the sensual side to him that I saw in his eyes moments before.

"Thanks a lot Seth," I heard him roughly say. But Seth was already making himself scarce. "Sorry," He said turning his back to me.

I shook my head unable to comprehend the reason for his apology. "For what?"

"I shouldn't have… I don't know, I…" He began

"Don't be." I heard myself say. I didn't want him to be sorry for what just happened. It surprised me sure, but my God- I had wanted it.

"No, I should be." He began before saying, "I just…" I paused waiting for him to finish, but he didn't. God, men could be so dense sometimes. Didn't he know I wanted him to kiss me too? I sure as hell wasn't trying to get away from him.

"Jake, look at me," I said walking over to him, grabbing his arm so he would turn and look at me. "I'm right there with you. This is all so new for both of us. But don't be sorry for that."

"Well, I should be Ness. I've always been able to control myself around you." He said turned away from me again. I repeated what he said in my head. How long has he been wanting me like this?

"Jacob, please" I said grabbing his arm again but he fought against me. He didn't want to look at me. Fine, he didn't want to hear it, well I would just show him. I pressed my fingers to his clenched jaw and showed him things from my point of view. The way I was hovered over him, the look I saw in his eyes and the thoughts I had when he was getting closer to me. As I pulled my hand back I watched his head fall. He grabbed my hand kissed the back of the fingers I had pressed against him just seconds before.

"Thank you." He said gazing back at me. "I just want you to know I'm never going to force anything onto you. I don't want you to feel that this has to happen just because I imprinted on you." He said bluntly.

What? Was he serious? Did he not realize my feelings in this matter? I didn't want him just because he imprinted on me or that it was destined to be. I wanted this because of him and the way he made me feel just being around him.

The sound of glass breaking caught my attention. Both Jake and I looked towards the house…hungry, impatient wolves. "I better go feed them before they kill each other." I said before looking back at Jacob. He nodded his head before walking with me out of the garage. Our hands brushed and I felt electric sparks fly up between us. Was it like this for everyone? My hand twitched towards his, thinking about the feeling of our fingers laced together as they were last night; but now, he made no move towards mine. I briefly remembered his words a moment ago; he's not going to force me to do anything. Well then I'd just have to do it myself and pray that he wants it too. I grabbed his arm with my hand and slowly let my hand find his. When I did, he grabbed my fingers with his intertwined them.

See, was that wasn't so hard. I thought to myself, softly projecting the thought to him as well. He hung his head and grinned.

The morning began like many others before. There were countless times over the years me and Leah made breakfast for the pack. My mother and Carlisle insisted that I eat human food when I was younger; but, I couldn't stand the stuff. So, I asked mom and Esme to show me how to cook, and learn to make things as I like them. I wasn't the best cook in the world but I could hold my own. My favorite part of the morning was when I leaning into Jacob's oversized fridge to get the eggs and I turned around to catch him staring at my backside. Leah caught him too before slugging him upside the head with her hand. He looked absolutely abashed that he'd been caught, and so absolutely adorable.

"So Ness," Quil began while I was washing the breakfast dishes. "You coming to the bonfire tonight?" I looked at Jacob immediately, he hadn't mentioned it.

"Ummm, I don't know." I answered still looking at Jake.

"Oh yeah," Jacob began, "I forgot to mention it to you yesterday. We kind of got sidetracked." He finished while blushing. I couldn't help the heat the crept up into my face either. I ignored the whistles and the off-handed comments that came from around us.

"You gotta come Ness," Leah said as if it didn't even need an invitation.

"Yeah," Seth approved and then I heard several agreeing voices all at once. I smiled at Jacob's wolf pack; I always felt a part of their family like they were part of mine.

Looking back at Jacob for an answer, I watched as he sat quiet for a moment. A curious look grew on my face as he stood up and walked over to me. He grabbed my one of my hands out of the soapy water and said, "Ness, it wouldn't be the same without you, you have to come." At first, I was taken aback by his sweetened tone; but, what really caught me off guard was the change in his expression. I had seen this look before, but at the moment I couldn't place it. He brought one hand up to my face and the other disappeared into the soapy water where my other hand was. Before I knew it, a surprise of warm foamy water splashed on my face. The utter shock froze me where I stood. I looked down at the water dripping from my body. Apparently, he'd almost emptied the entire sink on his little prank. Did he really just do that to me? A playful growl rumbled my chest as the room erupted in laughter.

Ok, so he got me. I shook my head up and down as though I was saying, yeah, good one; but, Jacob and I always had an equal relationship, tit for tat if you will; so with the lightning speed given to me by my father, within milliseconds, I had grabbed the hose from the sink turned the water on all the way, and began spraying him and every other wolf that I heard laughing when Jacob doused me.

Amusement filled the cabin as we all grabbed what we could in our spontaneous water fight. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Leah tip all of the ice that was in Jake's freezer down Seth shorts. Jared dumped a pot of water on Paul head, and Quil was coming out of the bathroom with a monster squirt gun in hand. The atmosphere here was so different than it was at my house. At my house, things always seem calm. Here, on the other hand, things were vibrant and fun. For protection, I had dropped to the ground behind Jacob's island that was perfectly put in the middle of the kitchen. Jacob was next to me, racks of laughter moving his large frame.

I couldn't help but let the enjoyable moment settle over me. I laughed until my lungs felt like they would pop. Poor Seth, with every step he took, ice cubes were falling out of his shorts. Leah was doubled over with a ferocious laughter I'd never heard before this very moment and Jared was lying on the floor grabbing his stomach from the aching laughter that overtook us all. Quil was sliding back and forth over the slick floor. From here- he looked like an ice skating drive by shooter. Not like the water would affect any of us now, we were all drenched.

"Awww," I heard Embry's voice as he entered the door, "I missed all the fu…" I listened as his voice was cut off by the sound of Quil unleashing on him the last bit of water left in his gun. Where'd he even get that monstrosity?

Jacob stood up first, grabbing my hands helping me up as well, if I didn't have amazingly heightened senses I probably would have slipped out of his slick grasp. As we all raised, everyone became quieter with their amusement but none of us could wipe the smiles off our faces. Man that was fun. I looked around the cabin, to an outsider it would have resembled the aftermath of a rainstorm. I watched as Jared, Quil, Seth, and Leah simultaneously shook the water off themselves like wet dogs. Wow, what a sight. Water exploded off of each of them flying through various parts of the house. I looked at Jacob, wondering if he caught the same sight as well; from the look on his face he had. Then, a mischievous look settled over his features.

"Oh no… don't even think about it" I said backing away from him. He better not! He began stalking me like a great black cat. I seriously thought about leaping onto the ceiling fan in his dining room, but I was afraid I'd break something. "Jacob William Black, don't you dare." I warned.

"Ewwww, the ol' lady is pulling out the middle names." Embry said shaking off his dampened shirt.

I watched Jacob with a predatory stare trying to calculate his next move. A rumble grew louder from my chest as another warning. He stopped, his eyes never leaving mine then backed up a few feet. There, he has got some sense in him. A victorious smile reached my lips. Just as I was about to vocalize my small triumph, Jacob phased right in the middle of his house. I jumped back surprised with my mouth gaped open from the sight of a large russet colored giant wolf looking so out of place in the cabin. Then, it hit me. Water blasted off of his fur as he flung his coat from side to side making sure to air it towards me. I would have been better off with him human. Standing still from astonishment, water dripped off of every part of me.

This time there was no laughing only wide stares from everyone who was in the cabin. I guess Jake shocked them as well. Whatever the reason, being part predator finally kicked in. Jacob must have sensed it to because a growl rumbled out of his mussel, but his eyes stayed lit with delight. I crouched looking around at what all could be broken during our play time. Jake looked around as well, and came up with the knowledge that we may indeed tear the house down. He started backing up towards the open door. Being a predator means I must follow my pray, so I took one careful step towards him before he bolted out the door. He wanted me to chase him. Good, because I was good at running. I wasn't as fast as the rest of my vampire family or the wolves for that matter, but I could definitely keep up.

I watched as Jacob dashed into the woods. Within seconds I was on his tail. The one thing about wolves is, like many other animals they rarely look up. I blasted of the forest floor onto a nearby aspen. The tree barely moved as a response. I began jumping from tree to tree, silently following him before I stopped as he did. He must have sensed that I wasn't running after him anymore. He looked all around before putting his nose to the air. It would be seconds before he found me using that extraordinary nose of his, damn it. I jumped higher, moving another 30 feet up the tree before I landed onto another, hiding myself in the brush. I listened as his paws moved softly over the earth, closer and closer to where I was. I did a backwards flip out of the tree and landed soundlessly behind him. If he didn't hear me, he certainly sensed me because he immediately jumped in the air turning his entire body towards me. I leapt in the air towards him grabbing the nape of his neck as I tackled him to the ground.

"You're going to regret that Jacob Black." I said with wildly humorous eyes. We rolled several times over one another before and I felt his teeth grabbed around my wrist ever so gently. I grabbed one of his ears as a response and tugged lightly and let go just before the pain would set in. This carried on for several moments as we wrestled, neither one of us overcoming the other. Finally, we both rolled away still lying on the ground. I clutched my abdomen as I laughed heartily. I hadn't laughed so much in my life like I had today, it hurt; but it was so worth it. I knew if Jacob would have been in his human form, he'd be laughing with me. Even as a wolf a smile was visible on his face. He stood up shaking off the twigs, leaves, and moss he'd caught in his fur during our tussle. He looked then towards his house, then back at me. Was he trying to tell me something? I gave him a curious look, before he gave me a look that told me to stay put.

"Okaaay?" I responded.

I watched as he disappeared from sight. Then, I heard him phase, the air around me changing with the breeze of his transformation. I heard the sound of a bag moving around, then the opening of a zipper. Within moments, he came trotting back to me barefoot with cut off khaki shorts on.

"I keep a bag in the woods for certain occasions." He answered the questioning look on my face.

"Aw, I see." I answered back sitting up. I scooted over to a tree resting my back on it. I was thoroughly exhausted. I watched him as he came down and sat next to me. "I didn't hurt you did I?" I asked looking over his arms and chest and other places I had grabbed during our playful battle.

"As if that were possible," He quipped. The need to punch him the stomach left as quickly as it came. I was worn out. I leaned over on Jake's arm before he put it around me, pulling me closer to him. I let my head fall on his chest and became overwhelmed with his scent. He never smelled to me as my family describes his scent. He always smelled wonderful. "Did I hurt you?" He asked rubbing a hand up and down my arm.

"As if that were possible," I mimicked, looking up towards his face. As our eyes met, I felt a twinge in my stomach as the butterflied decided to reappear. Damn butterflies were starting to get on my nerves. He placed a large gentle hand on my face examining it. I raised one of my hands to the hand he had on my face, letting it lay gently upon his. I heard his breath quicken and his heart accelerate. We sat there for several seconds staring at each other, before I brought my other hand up to his face.

I showed him, what he looked like to me at this very moment. His heavy lidded eyes boring into mine. An audible grumble rolled in his chest. God, that was a turn on. He instantly stood up in one movement that left me there looking like an idiot. What was wrong with him, geez, how much did a girl have to do to get a kiss? I stood up feeling rejected again. I wrapped my arms around myself feeling more than vulnerable.

"Ness, you can't say things like that, my self control around you is weak at best." He admitted with anger underlining his words.

Say things like what? What did I say? "I didn't say anything." I said loudly fighting the need to yell it at him.

"No you didn't say it out loud," He said before admiting, "but I heard your projection."

"Heard what exactly?" I asked with a furrowed brow, I had only projected to him the way he looked to me.

"That I…" He began looking around uncomfortably.

"That you…" I encouraged. When he didn't say anything I snapped, "Just spit it out!"

"That I turned you on." He answered harshly, and even more nervously.

What? Oh my God, had I projected that to him? Heat coursed through my veins and into my face. He wasn't supposed to hear that. I looked down at the ground wanting to kick the large rotting branch at my feet, until it disintegrated into thin air. I turned around unable to look at him, I still felt rejected. Twice in one day I had wanted him to kiss and each time it didn't happen.

"Don't be like that Nessie, you're acting ridiculous." I heard him say from behind me. WHAT? Ridiculous… His words stung like a bolt of lightning. I wanted to yell and scream and be done with it, but nothing came out. I was feeling exhausted, rejected, and alone. I'd never felt alone when I was with Jacob, ever. I looked over my shoulder at him, anger replacing all other feeling inside me. I felt the need to run, so I did. I heard him behind me matching me step for step so I kicked my legs into overdrive, fleeing from him easily. I heard him stop then, but I didn't care. I didn't know where to go. I sure as hell couldn't go back home, couldn't run into my house throw my arms around my mom and cry because my dad would hear all that went on. So, I thought of the next best thing.

Ahhh- nail biter- Next chapter the kiss happens! Check it out ;)
