Chapter 7: The Kiss
"Liiiz, open up the damn door." Jess shouted as she pounded on the door early Saturday morning
Oh God, I wish I could stay in bed forever, Liz thought as she got up and unlocked the door.
"Thank you for finally opening the door." Jess said as she made her way to the center of Elizabeth's room.
"What did you want?" Liz asked in a sleepy tone.
"Well, I need a top for my skirt tonight." Jess said as she started looking through Liz's closet.
"Where are you going?" Liz asked.
"Evan and I are going to go out to eat." Jess said.
"You and Evan?" Liz repeated.
"Yes, Evan and I." Jess said, "Is there something wrong with that?"
"I thought you were going to be free of guys for now." Liz said.
"I am." Jess said and continued to look for something.
"Then what is this whole dinner thing?" Liz asked.
"We're just going out to eat as friends." Jess said.
"Friends. Right." Liz said, "If you're really going out as friends then why are you looking for something good to wear?"
"I always want to look good when I go out." Jess said.
"But why are you bothering me this early, you don't have to get ready until a few more hours." Liz asked.
"Well I'm going over to Tia's in a couple of minutes and I won't be back until tonight so I don't want to rush finding something to wear." Jess said.
"Okay, are you done finding something yet?" Liz asked impatiently.
"This is the perfect top to go with my skirt." Jess said holding up a baby blue halter top.
"Take it, I don't think I'll be wearing that for a long time." Liz said.
"Thanks." Jess said.
"Will you please leave now?" Liz asked.
"Okay, okay you don't have to get all pushy all of a sudden." Jess said and left the room.
"Give me that." Tia said as she grabbed the phone away from her brother, "Hello?"
"Hey Tee, it's me Jess." Jess said.
"Hey, what's up?" Tia asked.
"I was wondering if I could come over." Jess asked.
"When?" Tia asked.
"Ummm….. in like 20 minutes." Jess said.
"Okay, I'll see you in 20 minutes." Tia said.
"Bye." Jess said and hung up.
Should I call Conner now? Tia thought, maybe I could tell him to come over later and hang out.
Tia dialed Conner's phone number and waited until he picked up.
"Hello?" Megan said.
"Hey Meg, it's me Tee." Tia said.
"Oh hey Tia, I'll get Conner." Megan said.
"Thanks." Tia said as she waited.
"Hey Tee, what's up?" Conner asked.
"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to come over tonight and hang around." Tia asked.
"I'm not sure Tee, my mom was really pissed when I didn't tell her that I was going to the dance with you last night." Conner said with a slightly unsure tone.
"Well if you can come then come, if you can't forget about it." Tia said.
"My mom is calling me now. I'll see you soon." Conner said quickly and hung up.
What was that all about? Tia thought, he would never ditch me for his mom. Something is wrong and I better find out before it's too late.
Why did Tia have to call just now? Conner thought, he needed some privacy for now. I can't believe I ditched her to stay home. What is the world coming to? He thought, maybe I should just call her back and say that I could go over her house but then she might get the wrong signal. He decided not to. He needed to cool off so he decided to go to Evan's house later.
"……….bye, bye, bye." The song finally ended on the radio.
Elizabeth wanted to go back to sleep but she decided to go to Megan's house instead. Maybe I'll see Conner there, she thought as she got dressed. Maybe. She took her mother's car keys and drove to Megan's house. She decided to turn on the radio just to lift her spirits up.
"No signs of clouds today. It's going to be a typical sunny California day." The weatherman said. Thank God, Elizabeth thought, it's not going to rain.
She parked her mother's car in front of the Sandborn's house.
She rung the doorbell and waited until someone opened the door. Mrs. Sandborn answered the door.
Wow, Liz thought, she looks completely different now.
"Hi Liz." Mrs. Sandborn said.
"Hi, how are you doing?" Liz asked.
"Good, please come in." Mrs. Sandborn said.
"Okay." Liz said and went in.
"What brings you here today?" Mrs. Sandborn asked.
"I wanted to drop by and say hi to Megan." Liz replied.
"Oh didn't she tell you?" Mrs. Sandborn said, "She went to the mall with her friends today."
"I thought she would be home." Liz said, "But that's ok I can leave."
"Why don't you just stay here for some tea first?" Mrs. Sandborn asked.
"You sure?" Liz asked.
"I need some company these days." Mrs. Sandborn replied.
"Okay." Liz said and sat down in a chair.
"Why don't you go say hi to Conner while I make the tea?" Mrs. Sandborn insisted.
"Um………..that's ok." Liz said.
"Don't worry about me, we can talk after you come down." Mrs. Sandborn said with a smile.
Ohmigod, she thought, I can't go up and say hi just like that. She got up and started to go up the stairs. Breath Liz. It's not the end of the world. Just say hi and leave. She knocked on the door of Conner's room.
"Mom, I don't need anything." Conner shouted.
"It's me Liz." Liz said and thought she was going to faint any minute.
The door opened immediately with a surprised look on Conner.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"Umm…… I just came to say hi." Liz said.
"Oh." Conner said.
"How's it going?" Liz asked.
"Okay." Conner replied.
"That's good to hear." Liz said.
"Yeah." Conner said.
"Well I'll see you around." Liz said and started to walk back.
"Wait." Conner said.
Before she had time to turn around his lips were right on top of hers. She was dizzy with happiness that she had to hold on to him or else she would have collapsed any second. This must be a dream, she thought, but then suddenly Mrs. Sandborn's voice filled the air. She ended the kiss and just stared back into Conner's eyes.
"I got to go." Liz said and went downstairs before he had a chance to speak.
"Um……. Mrs. Sandborn?" Liz asked.
"Yeah what's the matter?" Mrs. Sandborn asked with concern.
"I promised my mom that I would help her buy some groceries on the way back and I need to go somewhere later so I'll come back next time for the tea." Liz said.
"Okay sweetie, I understand, I just wish Conner was as reliable as you are." Mrs. Sandborn said and hugged her goodbye.
Liz got out of the house as soon as she could. Ohmigod, what does that mean? She thought, does Conner want me back now? She was just so confused now as she drove back to her house.
What did I just do? Conner thought as he got of the house to go to Evan's house. She probably thinks we're a couple again. But that was what he really wanted deep inside his heart. He decided to skip Evan's and go straight to her house instead. I've gotta tell her that I love her and that I never want to lose her, he thought as he drove to her house.
Elizabeth Wakefield
Ohmigod. Every time I think about our kiss it feels like I was in a hazy dream but only this wasn't a dream, it was reality. Hmmm……., I wonder what Conner is doing right now.
