Enter: The World of Aang
Chapter 8: Confessions and making out
"I… I was… I was going to see if Jennifer was okay!" Sokka stated.
"While she was bathing?" Aang asked.
"I was just walking to her waiting for the right moment, but then I saw where she was and decided to come back, which is a little bit of a long walk. So then I would walk back and see if she was done," Sokka said. Aang just shook his head.
"Whatever," he said and bolted up in the trees again. Sokka started walking again.
"Phew, that was close!" Sokka said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. He walked on. He saw me getting dressed, only my pants left.
"Hi," he said, with a little bit of guilt in his voice. I looked up. I tried to go as fast as I could to pull my pants up.
"Hello, Sokka," I said, embarrassed. I turned my face to hide the growing blush on my cheeks. He stepped a little closer.
"Look Jennifer, I just wanna-" I cut him off.
"Just wanna what? Take advantage of me? JUST WANNA PEEP ON ME? I heard your conversation with Aang-" This time Sokka cut me off with his finger to my lips. I stared at him.
"I just wanna say I'm sorry for not being there. I should have been, but I wasn't. And if I were you, then I would be disappointed in me," After he said that, he pulled me into a tight hug. "And I really never really wanted to hurt you in any way. I just want you to be happy, and whatever it takes, I want to help you to make it happen." He held me tighter. I stood there dumbfounded. So he was concerned afterall, I thought. Then I hugged him back, leaning my head on his shoulder and beginning to cry.
"I want to stay like this forever, Sokka." I said. He looked at me. "Because… I know you better than anyone. Sokka, I love you." I whispered. He leaned his head on mine; "I've wanted to hear that. I love you too." We stood there in silence. Then he kissed me. Sokkakissed me. His lips were so soft. Apparently, Aang and Katara caught the WHOLE thing.
"Yeah! I knew they would get together!" Katara said. I was blushing hard, and Sokka was too, but no one noticed because he was smiling big.
"Aw shut up!" I said while we were still on our same position. I pulled away, but still in each other's arms. I looked in Sokka's eyes. They stared back at me. He kissed me again. I hugged him. Aang and Katara had a huge giggling fit. But then they realized it was a romantic moment so they starting making out, yet again. I leaned my head on his should, then saw them doing that. I kinda nudged Sokka to look at them. He looked. I saw a small grin creep over his face. "Sokka…" I said. Then he pulled me close and kissed me, longer than anyone of the kisses we shared. Then I finally realized what he was doing so I returned the effort, smiling to myself.
We started inching closer to a tree. His tongue was exploring my mouth; I accepted it. Aang and Katara stopped and stared after they heard a thunk. They saw it was us at a tree.
"I think they're going too far." Aang whispered to Katara.
"They're older than us. I think they'll know when to stop." Katara whispered back.
This feels so good. Don't stop, please, don't stop... But we pulled apart, also to find the other couple staring. ".. What are you staring at?" I asked. They quickly turned and left.
"We better get back too." Sokka said. I nodded. We were walking back when I tripped over a rock. "Gosh, stupid rock." I mumbled. He put his hand out.
"Need help?" He asked. I nodded. He helped me up. Normal stance, his arm around me waist, my arm around his shoulder. We walked slowly. It got way too dark to see. I bumped into a tree. "Ouch…"
"What is with you and trees?" Sokka asked. I shrugged.
"Nature nut I guess." I said with a little squeak. Something fell on my head. It was soft, it was… "MOMO!" I shrieked and got him from on top of my head and cradled him. Sokka stared at the way I was holding Momo.
"You know, you would make a great mother someday." He said. I blushed, but it wasn't noticeable because it was so dark.
"Thanks. I think you would be a great father." I said. Momo was purring. I stroked his ears, he liked it and fell asleep in my arms. We finally made it to camp. Aang and Katara were talking, an every no-and-then kissing. They spotted us and rushed over.
"Here Aang. He fell ontop of my head." I said giving the lemur to Aang. He smiled and he went to put him with Appa. Katara was smiling, bigger than her usual big smile.
"You guys! Good news and bad news! Good news is Zuko's ship was sunken!" Katara said nearly jumping out of her skin. I motioned her to continue. "Bad news is he's on this island. So we have to leave now." Katara said. Me and Sokka both nodded. We walked over to Appa hand-in-hand. All of our stuff was already packed onto Appa. We climbed on and we flew off.
