Well guys, I'm beginning to think I underestimated you with that challenge of 50 reviews before the 25th December, as it is only the 22nd November and I already have 49 reviews. Seeing as I seem to have made it to easy, shall we raise the target and make it 55 reviews before Christmas It really would mean a lot to me, especially as I have been trying so hard to keep updating for you alongside 5 A levels, a GCSE in Italian and the college magazine, on top of various music clubs and kayaking. So I'm sure you will have no trouble rewarding me with a few extra reviews for that really is all the payment I require in order to keep writing. I know I've already said this a dozen times but I think I will say it again, just to make sure it really sinks in properly, your reviews are what keep me going and I love to keep writing for people who take a little time out of their day in return and post a review for me. It really does make my day. Well anyway, enough waffle for now, I think it's about time I got on with the actual chapter so READ, ENJOY, and REVIEW! :D
Chapter 36: Floating Up To Heaven
And just like that all sense of reality crumbled away. I was skyrocketing away from the earth and floating up to heaven. I didn't think for a second about the fact that the guy of my dreams was chasing away the love of my life, because in my mind all of my sense seemed to be chased away whenever I was around Jamie. He brought out the reckless side in me and there was something in me, buried deep down that liked that. Not that I didn't like the security that came with being in a relationship with Shay...it's just that the danger of a fling with Jamie was something I had never experienced before. It was new and exciting and I liked that feeling. I guess I could also say that I liked feeling desired...I had never had any sort of male attention back in Glasgow but now, everything seemed to be happening so quickly.
He moved his body gently up and down, pressing himself against me, his hands wondering all over my body. I vaguely remember feeling slightly guilty as I was cheating on Shay...and I had never planned to do that. Shay was lovely but Jamie just made me feel like a whole new person, made me feel like someone I'd never been before. He made me feel like I was exciting. Ever since I'd lost my speech I'd felt like a corpse, someone who was living life looking through a window from the outside but Jamie made me feel alive again.
"You're a good kisser Cherry," he commented smirking slightly and something about his expression bothered me but I pushed down the feelings of doubt and kept on kissing him just like he clearly wanted me to. I was amazed at how something could feel so right and yet so wrong at the same time. For some reason though, what I'd wanted to happen for so long was suddenly feeling more and more like it shouldn't happen...whenever I was with Shay, he would always tell me how beautiful I was. Jamie had never said any such thing. But at the same time, kissing Jamie just felt so good and it was probably the guilt I was feeling towards Shay that made me uneasy about the whole thing, not what I was actually doing, so for a few seconds I forgot about Shay and focused all of my energy on the task at hand. I realised that at the age of twenty, Jamie was almost definitely more experienced than Shay and I guess that made me even more enthralled by him and even more curious to know what he was doing with a girl like me. Before long, he started to try and undress me but that was where I drew the line. It had taken me months to sleep with Shay and I wasn't about to sleep with this stranger after three days of knowing him. Aside from all else, I still had some conscience remaining and I couldn't do that to Shay, not yet. I couldn't stoop that low.
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, especially Violet-Revenge who has been willing for something to happen between Cherry and Jamie. I hope I did this chapter justice and that you all liked reading it. I'm not entirely sure at the moment what else is going to happen between them, if anything. Obviously I want Shay and Cherry to end up together in the end. They have been through so much together that it would be churlish to have it any other way. I hope you are all eagerly awaiting the next chapter but until then: READ, ENJOY, and REVIEW.
