HI peoples! OK, don't tell anyone but…I'm cheating. Yep, I am breaking my cycle. I should be updating Not Over Us right now but I got such a positive response to this story on chapter 3, I just HAD to update! That and the fact that I love this story so much ha-ha. Ok so yay, I'm updating super early! Hmm…I had something else to say…just don't really remember…oh, oh yeah! Wait no. Ok, never mind, let's just move on to the disclaimer(which I forgot about in the last chapter BTW)
Disclaimer: I do not own the Mediator Series, or any of the characters ever mentioned anywhere in the books. If I ever do make an OC(Original Character) I will tell you.
OH I REMEMBER NOW! I posted my ideal cast for this story on my profile! If you're curious to see what I picture these people as(or as close as close can get to it) go check it out!
Brother. Step-brother, but never the less, still a brother. My eyes were wide as wide can get. I pursed my lips and put my hand on the kitchen counter. Shockingly, what I was thinking was completely unrelated to the fact that this was my BROTHER.
"Oh my god. What's my breath smell like? What was the last thing I ate? What is Andy even serving tonight? OMG!"
Don't ask me why I was thinking that. Just don't. Because 'till this day, I still don't know what came over me as I began to lean forward.
As soon as our lips touched, my eyes closed. I hesitated a bit, and so did Jake. This wasn't right, and we both knew it. Yet, somehow, at the moment, it didn't matter as much as it should have. My hand found it's way up to his shoulder, and my other arm wound around his neck. Both his arms were on my waist. Our kiss was gentle, eager, sweet. His breath tasted like .
"Jake…" I thought. That was my mistake. I started to think again. Suddenly everything was wrong. Wrong, wrong , wrong, wrong. My eyes popped open, I stopped kissing him, and I pushed him away as quickly as I could.
"Jake!" I said gasping for air. "W-W-What the heck are you…..???? What is wrong with you?!" I said.
"Suze, I….I…" He too was gasping for air. "I don't…I really don't know what came over me, I am so sorry, I…Oh my god, I am so…Oh my god Suze." He stammered. "Please, please forgive me, I really shouldn't have…I-I-I…I shouldn't have kissed you that way, I really shouldn't have kissed you that way!"
"And what way should you kiss me?!" I exclaimed, now angry.
"I…I shouldn't at all?" He said confused.
"NO YOU SHOULDN'T!" I all but yelled. "Ge-Ge-Get away from me!" I said, turning around and heading towards the dining room. "Jerk!" I yelled over my shoulder. Then I felt him grab my wrist, turn me around and hold me to his body. Our faces were inches apart, our bodies even closer. His hand rested on the small of my back.
"Jake!" I yelled.
"You kissed me back." He said. "You kissed me back, Suze. What does that mean? Why? Why did you kiss me back?" He asked.
"I don't know! Let go of me Jake!" I exclaimed. "Or else!"
He smiled. Now he was beginning to scare me. "Or else what?"
"Jake, let go!"
He touched his nose to mine and looked me up and down. "Suze, I have to know. I just have to." He said. Slowly his lips started to lower themselves to mine.
"Sleepy, don't you dare-" I was cut off by his lips. They violently crashed into mine. For the second time that night he kissed me. This time I tried to fight back. Tried, but most certainly did not succeed. He was determined and, at the moment, I was weak. His hold on my wrist slowly started to loosen as he deepened the kiss and I stopped trying to resist. My final attempt at breaking free made me lose my balance and fall to the floor, with him landing on top of me. Not hard, or even that painful, considering he was still holding on to my back, so he stopped anything from the shoulders up from crashing in to the floor.
He separated his lips from mine to ask, "Are you ok?"
I shook my head, my breathing incredibly uneven. "No." Then I grabbed on to his shirt and pulled him down as hard as I could, forcing his lips back on mine. He was surprised at first, as was I, but he recovered quickly, moving his lips to mold perfectly on to mine. I didn't care anymore. I don't know why, but I didn't care.(And apparently neither did Sleepy).
"Hey, Suze, we heard a crash, you alri-Oh my!" I heard someone gasp.
"Is everything alright?"
"Oh, he did they kill each other?"
Many more gasps followed the voices. I had enough brain to think that this probably looked pretty shocking to anyone who hadn't been in the room a couple of minutes before. On second thought, it would be shocking either way.
Me and Sleepy eventually broke apart and looked up. In front of us was pretty much the whole family: Mom, Andy, Dopey, Doc, and CeeCee, who I had forgotten was sleeping over. Eyes wide and jaws almost to the floor. I opened my mouth and closed it again. I looked over at Jake. He looked as shocked as everyone else was. Somehow he managed to choke out, "Um. We…can explain?" I grimaced.
An hour later.
"How? I honestly do not understand Suze! How did you…you left the room hating that guys guts! How did you…You spent less than 10 minutes in there and all of a sudden you guys are… all over each other! Literally! " CeeCee was pacing the length of my room, speaking with her hands and trying to make sense out of everything that she had just seen. I sat criss cross apple sauce style on my bed, scooping large amounts of mint chocolate-chip ice cream in to my mouth. I was already in my pj's, boxer shorts and an over sized tee. Luckily Jesse hadn't been around all night, so he hadn't heard a thing that Cee had been yelling at me about. But knowing Jesse….It wouldn't be long until he found out. And that was certainly not something I was looking forward to.
"I mean, the yelling! We thought you guys were eating each other alive in there! Actually, you know, we were pretty close, it looked like you guys were trying to eat each others faces off!" She continued.
"Hey, are you gonna want any of this?" I asked.
'Ugh, Suze!"
"What? This is some good stuff, if you don't act now, they'll be none left." I said.
"Ugh! I can't believe you!"
" Hey! When it comes to junk food, every woman to herself hun."
"SUSANNAH SIMON!" she yelled. "Explain yourself!"
"Ugh." I put the ice cream down and stood up. "Listen. I don't know how, I don't know why. It just…happened OK? It happened and it's done so let's just…forget!"
"I will not forget! Suze, you just had a total make-out session with you brother!" she exclaimed.
"Step-Brother! Step! Gosh, why does everybody always forget the step part?" I asked.
"Oh, whatever! Suze, just, come on please! I'm dying here!" she begged.
I sighed. "Oh CeeCee…I just…it was so…odd. But…"
"But?" she leaned forward, hanging on my every word. Was this…episode really all that interesting?
"But…I liked it. A lot. Have you ever, ever, had something so strange, so wrong, but so pleasurable pull you towards it?" I struggled to come up with words that explained what had happened when I kissed him.
"Have you ever tasted chocolate?" Cee took out a large bar of it and took a bite. Hm. Chocolate? A very nice comparison.
"Oh, Cee." I smiled and then we broke out laughing.
Once we stopped she said, "So. You kissed your bro and you liked it." in a sing-song voice.
I laughed again. "Yeah, that's a good way to put it."
"So, who kissed who first?" She asked, popping another piece of chocolate in to her mouth.
"Both."
"What?"
"He kissed me. I pushed him away. He kissed me. We fell. I kissed him."
"Ah. So you guys lip locked more than once." She raised her eyebrows.
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah Yeah Yeah."
"So…" she furrowed her brow. "Are you guys like…dating now?"
I shrugged. "I don't know. You guys didn't exactly give us time to talk about it." I said. As soon as Jake had said "We can explain." my mom freaked. She sent both of us to our rooms and CeeCee immediately started interrogating me.
"Oh. Well do you like him?" She asked.
I bit my lip. "I don't know. Maybe."
"Maybe?"
"Maybe."
"Do you think he likes you?"
"Perhaps."
"Perhaps?"
"Perhaps."
"What if he does? Would you consider going out with him?"
"I…guess?"
"You guess?"
"Will you stop that!" I laid back down on my bed and put my hands on my face. "I am so confused. Cee, you're my best friend, help me!"
"What do you want me to do?"
"Just…I don't know! Ugh! I need to clear my head."
She giggled. "Looks like you might still be high on Jake."
"Cee!"
"Just being honest. Now come on. Be honest. How good were his lips? His breath?" She giggled. I sat back up and smiled.
"His lips were so soft…so gentle. And his breath…mmm…tasted just like . Sweet." I dreamily.
"Ha-ha. You are still high!" She laughed. I threw a pillow at her.
"Like you wouldn't still be high on Adam!"
"Not true! I would still be out cold, in shock." she said, throwing the pillow back at me. I laughed.
"So, am I going to need earplugs now?" I asked.
"Why?"
"Cause I just put that idea in your head. I bet your going to be dreaming about it aerial night. Oh, kiss me Adam, oh, oh!" I said, making kissy faces at her. She gasped and yanked the pillow out of my hands, hitting me with it over and over and over again. "Hey!" I shrieked, breaking out in to a fit of giggles. I found another pillow and smacked her. She gasped as her glasses were knocked askew. We laughed so much as the pillow fight went on. Hw nice it felt to have a friend like CeeCee. And a pillow that could knock the feather out of hers!
Later that night
I woke up to a faint knocking on my door. It was probably around one in the morning. I looked around.
"Suze? Suze, you awake?" Jake whispered. I gasped.
