"Jim,
didnt you just listen to the principal?"Melinda asked, kissing
him back. "How did you know it was me?"he asked, walking so
close to her their arms touched.
"Well,because the best
kisses are from you, and your lips are so soft and sweet
and....."Melinda drifted off,thinking about Jim. He just laughed
and followed her back to the
classroom.
When
they entered the classroom, none of the children were there. "Do
you remember hearing a bell?"Jim said quizzically.
"Nope,at
least I didnt hear it"Melinda replied, picking up Jims hand and
looking at the watch on his wrist.
Jim saw something out of the
corner of his eye,and whispered into her ear"They are
hiding,they used to always do this to pretend you dont see
them and be surprised when they jump out".
"Ah,well
there is no one in here that I see"Melinda played along. "I
know, I guess we should go home"Jim said, walking into his
office and back out,pretending to look. Suddenly, little children
started popping up from behind corners and under tables and chairs,
and Melinda jumped.
",the children are right
here!"Melinda told him, putting a little surprise to her
voice."Oh,so they are!"Jim said, walking to the front of the
classroom. The beel rang for the end of school, which really
surprised Melinda,but excited Jim. He would be able to spend more
time with Melinda.
"Well, have a great weekend!"jim concluded
the week. All the students filed out, except for one,
Amelia.
"Melinda, why did you kiss my teacher?"she asked
sweetly. Melinda panicked, and went to get Jim. "Wait here for just
a second, and I will answer that for you"Melinda said shakily
before getting Jim.
"Uh,Jim, we have a problem"
"What
kind of problem?"he asked, coming over to her.
"Amelia saw us
kissing"Melinda winced.
"Oh, crap. How do we explain
that?"
"That's why I came to you, I totally froze, maybe you
should try"Melinda left it up to him.
Jim went up to Amelia and
knelt down to her size. "Amelia, can you keep a secret?"he asked,
looking into her eyes.
"Whats that?"
"A secret is
something you arent allowed to tell anyone, not even your mummy or
daddy"Jim explained, smiling lightly.
"Oh, then yes"
"You
saw Melinda and I kissing because we are dating. Do you know what
that means?"he said gently.
"Yes, my mummy did that before she
married daddy. Does this mean that you and Melinda are going to have
a baby?"she asked innocently.
"Well,maybe. But you cant tell
anyone about this little conversation we just had, okay? Its our
little secret, just like me telling you that I really like Melinda,
that's a secret as well. Noe, go see your mummy and daddy,
Amelia"Jim said simply, and Amelia walked away.
Jim stood up and
turned around, and Melinda appeared in front of him.
"Hi, I
heard what you said, youre good with kids"she
complimented.
"Thankyou, Im sure you are you hear
everything?"he asked, a little worried. "Just enough for me to
know that you really like me and someday we might be having a
baby"Melinda was grinning from ear to ear, and Jim blushed a light
shade of pink.
"Are you blushing?"Melinda asked, following him
into his office. "No" he answered simply, but Melinda didn't
buy it. "You are, arent you?" she asked again, more persistently,
whilst gathering her things, ready to go.
"Okay, to admit it,
yes. But it isn't much, I just didn't want you to hear that"Jim
pointed out, keeping his back to her as he pulled down the blinds and
packed up his belongings.
"No, don't be embarrassed. Im sorry
I eavesdropped, its just hard to stay away from you for too
long"Mleinda admitted semi-consciously. "You like me a lot, don't
you?"
"I feel the same way as you do, Jim"she tried to avoid
the subject as much as possible.
Jim came over and kissed her
cheek. "That's cute, I like that" he said quietly, and she
looked up at him. Without warning, she kissed him, but it lasted
longer than she expected when Jim chipped in.
"Mmm…Good"Melinda
muttered, but Jim laughed at her. "You really think that?" he
asked out loud, more to himself than to her.
"Wel, it wasn't
bad, and…well yes I do then"she struggled with her true feelings,
especially because of childhood.
"Cool"
"Yep"
"I
guess I will see you sometime" he said.
"What about
tonight?"she asked.
"I have to go somewhere tonight, but maybe
I can drop by your house tomorrow, I know where it is"
"Sure,
just come by the garage because I spend most of my time in
there"
"Okay, sure. Well, I will see you tomorrow then" he
gave her one last long kiss goodbye, then left. Melinda took a deep
breath and followed a minute later.
