Diclaimer : I do not own The Host, I just borrowed the characters from Stephenie Meyer

Chapter 6

Not what I expected

Jean's POV

I was laughing so much my sides hurt, the reason I was laughing was because Jamie had just told me the funnest story about Kyle. I tried to calm down by falling back on my bed and taking deep breathes, I heard Jamie laugh then fall down beside me.

"It wasn't that funny" he said and I gapped

"Are you kidding that was hilarious, specially with you acting it out" I remembered and started laughing again, before wiping my eyes "sorry I laugh...alot"

"Yeah" he chuckled "I can see that, well hear that" I blushed "no need to be embarrassed I think you have a very cute laugh" I blushed an even deeper red which caused him to laugh.

We were silent for a moment but it wasn't uncomfortable or awkward it was a nice silence... I wasn't bored. I felt like I could just lay like this for hours and not be bored, thats what mine and Jamie's friendship was like, I was never tired of him.

"Jean have you ever kissed anyone?" he asked out of no where breaking the silence

"Um...no, I was taken by the seekers when I was eleven and this whole take over of the planet started when I was nine" I bit my lip to stop from rambling "what about you, have you ever kissed any one"

"No...I haven't" he answered and we were silent again but this time there was a little bit of awkwardness in the air.

What happened next took my by shock and if it had worked out properly it probably would have been nice, really nice. He kissed me and like I said it would have been really nice if he had just given me a heads up before he did it. I only felt something warm press against my lips before I sat up quickly in shock, in the process I slammed my forehead into Jamie's nose. I swore I heard a crack, I swore and when I looked at Jamie he was holding his hand over his nose with his eyes slammed shut.

"Oh my- Jamie, Oh my god! I'm so, so sorry!" I apologized but he shook his head and brought his hand away from his nose to reassure me everything was okay. That was not a very smart idea because everything was not okay, Jamies nose had trails of blood coming out. I brought my hand up to my mouth and gasped, I never felt so guilty.

"Shit!" I exclaimed "oh god" I jumped up and looked around the room to find something to help with the bleeding. I found my night shirt and brought it to his nose to block to bleeding while apologizing non stop.

"Jean will you stop apologizing?" he asked and I frowned looking at my feet

"I'm sorry" I apologized then groaned making Jamie laugh

"I'm fine really" he told me "it only hurt for a second "

"Thats a second too long" I said softly and he blushed, it was quite cute really. I grabbed his hand and lifted him up with me then dragged him along behind me.

"Where are we going?" he asked

"To see Doc" I answered and he groaned this time

"Why do we have to Jean, I'm prefectly fine plus I don't think you really want me to tell Doc I got a blood nose by kissing you" I was quiet when he said that because I realised, that yes Jamie did kiss me. I felt my cheeks warm up but I still pulled Jamie along till we got all the way to Doc.

"Hey guys- whoa what happened here?" I heard Doc say as he caught sight of Jamie holding a bloody shirt to his nose.

"He might of broke his nose" I informed Doc, he sighed and gestured for Jamie to come sit on the cot. Doc turned to me and gestured me over aswell then passed me a wet wipe and pointed to Jamie's face.

"Can you clean up the blood while I get the heal" he asked me, I nodded then got to work on Jamie's face.

"How does my nose look?" he asked with a grin

"Broken" I answered simply then continued to clean his blood cover lips till all the blood was gone.

"Why are you frowning?" he asked and I rised my eye brows

"I broke your nose"

"The heal will fix it and it will look like it never happened" Jamie told me and I sighed throwing the last wipe in the bin after finishing cleaning his face.

"Yeah but I will still have the blood on these hands" I lifted my hands only to realise that I actually did have blood on there. Jamie quickly reached over and grabbed a wipe before grabbing my hands and placing them on his upper theighs. I felt my cheeks heat up again then mentally swore at myself for blushing so much today but it was always like that around Jamie.

"I didn't get to kiss you properly" he said while cleaning my hands, I looked at him to see his eyes looking down on my hands he was concentrated on cleaning them.

"You should of warned me, then we wouldn't be here" I told him making him sigh, I looked at him again and bit my lip. He looked so beautiful, I'd always thought he was hot but I don't know if he really was, I hadn't had much other guys to compare him to and right now to me he was the cutest boy I had ever seen ( even with a broken nose ). Suddenly taken over by confidence and biting back my shyness I leaned forward to pressed my lips against his briefly before pulling back. Jamie looked at me with wide eyes and a grin making me giggle, which I never giggled.

"Ok I got the heal" Doc said returning and I quickly jumped back from Jamie which I'm guessing looked suspious to Doc but he seemed to ignore it. He walked over to Jamie and worked on his nose making sure it looked just like it did before I ruined it. Any time Doc wasn't looking Jamie would be an idiot and make faces or do something like stick out his tongue. I tried to suppress my laughter but it bursted out causing Doc to look at me with one eyebrow raised. I brought my fist to my mouth and bit it, when I looked at Jamie he was laughing.

. . . . . .

I went to dinner by my self for the first time since I got here twelve days ago, everyone had been very welcoming to me when I came. I looked around to see who was here but couldn't find Kyle or Sunny or even Ian or Wanda. Magnolia was sitting with some of the other girls while she looked after Logan and it clicked in my mind why they weren't here.

"Ew" I said out loud not thinking

"Pardon?" I heard a voice behind me and I turned to see no other then Jamie

"Oh hey Jamie"

"Don't you like the food?" he asked and I looked down at my plate before looking back up and shaking my head

"No it's not that, it's just see...Ian and Wanda arn't here but Logan is so I guess they having some alone time" I explained "thats why I said ew" his mouth made the 'o' shape and he nodded understandly

"I can't feel your pain, Mel and Jared" he shuddered "it's an image I could of lived without" we both laughed and I followed him to a table.

"So have you thought of any names for the baby?" I asked him

"What baby?" I rose my eyebrows "Ohhhh yeah I was thinking Jamie Junior"

"Jamie Junior?" I laughed "hmm I like the name Hayden for a girl and Tristen for a guy"

"Those are nice names I'll tell her" he said and I bit my lip

"She should come up with her own name, it's more special" I said "I bet shes excited"

"Yeah..." he trailed off "Jean?"

"Hmm?"

"Why are we talking like this?" he asked and I furrowed my eyebrows

"Like what Jamie?"

"Like all friendly" he said screwing up his face looking for the right words

"Um because we are friends" I told him

"But you kissed me!" he said a little too loud but luckily no one heard

"Because I broke your nose!" he gapped at me

"What?"

"It was a I'm sorry kiss" I told him and he frowned

"I'm such an idiot" he slammed down his fist and stood up picking up his plate "to think someone like you liked me" and then he stormed off. I stared mouth about, then I slammed my hand on my forehead.

I though playing hard to get was suppose to help
