Author's Note: I don't own Degrassi, or Clare, or Jenna's characters. ETC. This is part one of a two part story. No real spoilers. But if you haven't seen Beat It, you missed a lot of Jenna/Clare goodness. They're so cute.
So this is part 2! It's much shorter, but a little more juicy. I'm already planning another Clenna oneshot (to be called "Plaid Shirts" ha!). And I am thinking of writing a sequel to this. It wouldn't be a direct sequel, but it take place in the same timeline as this story and probably refer back to it. Please tell me what you think! I hope this lives up to what everyone wanted in part one!
Strawberries. Sweet strawberries. That was what a kiss from Clare Edwards tasted like.
It must have been the ice cream.
Jenna's fingers tangled in Clare's curly brown hair as she moved her hand down to the other girl's neck. Clare didn't seem to notice. She was stiff. Her body was rigid; her eyes were squeezed shut so tightly that her nose crinkled a little bit. Jenna's lips rested tentatively on her friend's own. They were both hesitant. But Jenna was not about to lose her nerve now. She pressed her lips back to Clare's once again only this time with more force. Keeping one hand at the nape of Clare's neck, Jenna placed the other at the side of the girl's cheek, gently pulling Clare toward her.
Clare did not resist. She let her hands fall to Jenna's waist and grabbed slightly at the blonde's plaid shirt, steadying herself. Their tender kisses seemed to gain confidence as the seconds ticked on. Jenna felt her excitement building and could no longer hide her eagerness. Feeling bold, Jenna slowed down her next kiss and gently slid her tongue across Clare's bottom lip.
Jenna could feel Clare stiffen immediately. Must mean this was more than KC did, what a baby. Although, to be honest the fact that she was getting further with Clare than he was made her exceptionally happy! Jenna willed herself not to laugh as she rubbed the back of Clare's neck, calming her. She had no plans to stop now. Jenna leaned forward and slid one hand down to Clare's back steadying herself. Clare didn't seem to be resisting this time and as their tongues met, Jenna felt magic.
She pulled apart and the two gazed across at each other letting the moment sink in.
"And that is how you really kiss!" Jenna smirked at Clare's bewildered look. She could tell the pretty brunette was still processing what had just occurred. "Let's do our nails next, Clare Bear. We'll pick something really stunning for you so you can seduce KC and try out what we practiced!" Jenna threw in a wink for good measure.
Clare let out a quick smile and went to get her nail kit. She wasn't sure how she was feeling. She was certainly confused. But there were other feelings too; feelings she never had with KC. She felt strangely content and undeniably happy.
"Clare Bear! What are you doing? Hurry up!"
"Oh coming!" Oh well, Clare shrugged it off. Girls did this kind of thing at sleepovers all the time. There was nothing special about her kiss with Jenna. And yet, there was something so sweet about Jenna's kiss. No kiss with KC had ever been that sweet.
And the taste of that strawberry kiss was not one she would soon forget…
