Jessica:
I laughed my hardest at the totally not funny thing Will said. Jeremy, Will and I were back at Melissa's house listening to CDs. Jeremy moped in the corner. I had been using all the flirting tricks I ever learned on Will. They were working at both things. To get Will and get the message through Jeremy's head that I was so not interested. I got so close to Will so I was almost sitting on his lap.
"Do I have anything in my teeth?" I asked sweetly putting my face next to his. This trick always worked and so once more it was successful. As Will kissed me. Firecrackers, Lights went out, sound was lost. That's what I had expected would happen when we kissed. But it did not. He had bad breath and I somehow felt empty. Jeremy stormed out and I broke our kiss, watching him at the exit. His back was all hunched over. He looked…. Well, crushed. I finally realized I hurt him. I had leaded him on and crushed that smudge of hope within seconds. Horrible was an understatement for how bad I felt.
"What's wrong?" Will asked.
"Nothing." I answered. He leaned in to kiss me again but I pulled away. It felt wrong somehow. He got angry.
"So you don't want to make out now!" He accused.
I shook my head. "Not now." He got up and I almost fell off his lap. He shrugged his coat on and walked out the door. He was probably in a bad mood or something. I reassured myself. I heard the TV turn on and remembered Jeremy was still home. I felt as though I had to apologize. I walked in just as the clock struck eleven o'clock.
"What do you want?" he hissed. Wow he was mad to. I had a sudden idea. I sat down next to him.
"I had a nightmare."
He stared at me strangely then laughed. "Come here." He ordered. I crawled into his open arms and it was as if all the tension flowed from my body. He kissed the top of my head. I pulled a blanket over us and relaxed against him.
"You are so beautiful." He whispered in my ear. He looked so sincere, so sweet. I just had to kiss him. Then are lips met. Fire crackers, Loss of surroundings. There was just us.
