Sorry guys, but really short update
I tried to get dressed as quickly as possible. I needed to get away from here before Corn got up, wherever 'here' was. Shit, I was too late, Corn stirred, and he opened his eyes groggily
"Gum. . .?" He asks, like he's trying to identify me. I remained silent, facing the other way and still getting dressed
"What happened?" He sat up. I didn't even need to answer, because he figured it out himself. Almost every single cuss word the existed rung through the air as Corn hurried to get dressed too, facing away from me
"I'm sorry Gum" he muttered
"It was my fault. I was the one who pushed you" I sighed
"You remember it?" he turned to me
"Only bits and pieces" I looked down. And awkward silence ensued, but I finally broke it
"Corn?" I turned to him
"Yes?" he turned to me
"There's something I've been wanting to tell you for forever"
"Same here" We both looked down
"I love you!" We said simultaneously, then we sharply looked up and our eye's widened
"Really?" Corn's mouth was hanging open, like if it could stretch enough, it would reach the floor "But you. . ."
"It's true I haven't gotten past Beat all the way" I sighed "But I'd rather be with you than him"
Another awkward silence. Then Corn goes over to me and hugs me. I can feel his chest against mine, and its rock solid. He is sexy in his own little way
"You know, I never thought a girl would ever like me" he whispered in my ear "Until you came"
"I always hated boys" I whispered back "before I met you"
Our move our faces so they were in front of each other again, and kissed. This wasn't a feel better kiss or a drunken kiss, this was a real kiss, and Corn was a really good kisser
Things were looking up, but we still had to deal with Poison Jam. And that wasn't going to be all pretty.
