CHAPTER 6
I rushed out of school walking alongside Caitlin laughing. She was awesome, and we had become friends in minutes.
"Here's my dad, I better get going." I said stopping at a car.
"Oh, well I'll see you tomorrow!" She said waving
"Absolutely, it was great talking to you."
I opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
"Hey hunny." Dad said
"Hey Dad."
We drove out of the school as I waved to Caitlin.
I jumped out of the car and raced inside, avoiding the light drizzle of rain, and chucked my school bag on the ground.
"Why don't we introduce ourselves to the neighbours?" Dad asked
"But it's raining."
"Oh we can make it, it's only nextdoor."
"Okay, I'll just go change out of my school clothes." I said bolting to my room
I pulled on some grey trackies and Nike shirt. I grabbed my hoodie and some shoes then raced into the kitchen to find dad looking for something.
"Whatcha looking for?" I asked, while sitting down on a chair and shoving on my shoes.
"A cake or something…" He said looking through the cupboard
"Why?" I asked confused
"Well in movies and stuff the neighbours bring a cake or something when they meet neighbours…" He said
"Uh, okay then, there's a mudcake on the bench over there."
"Oh, where did that come from?" He asked
"Dunno, but let's goooooo" I said pulling him with me.
We ran out the door, to avoid getting too wet.
DING DONG
The door slowly opened to a extremely attractive boy about my age, maybe older. He was flawless, and I couldn't take my eyes off him.
"Hi, I'm John, and this is my daughter Jenna. We live nextdoor and we just wanted to say hi." Dad said breaking me out of my trance.
"Hi." I said quietly
"I'm Louis." He said opening the door wider "Come in."
We walked in to the massive the house. It must be bigger than ours.
"Mum, we've got visitors!" Louis screamed out as we followed him down a hallway and into a big living area.
It had two lounges and a few boxes next to it. Across from the living area was a large kitchen with bar stools on the other side of the bench.
A lady with brown hair approached from a room.
"Hello." She said cheerfully
"Hi, I'm John, and this is my daughter Jenna, we just wanted to come over and welcome you to the neighbourhood."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Jay, and you've met Louis. My daughters and husband aren't here at the moment…but Come sit down." She said gesturing us to the lounge.
Dad handed her the cake and she put it on the bench.
"So, how old are you Jenna?" Jay asked
"I'm 17." I said
"Well Lou, is 18." She said smiling
"Oh ok…." I said awkwardly
"Why don't you go show Jenna around?" Jay said to Louis.
"Okay." He said quietly getting up.
I got up aswell and we walked to the stair case.
"Wanna see my room?" He asked
"Uh, okay." I said
We climbed the stairs and we stopped at his room.
He opened the door and surprisingly it was clean for a boy, but only because basically everything was in boxes.
"Sooo…" I said
He sat down on his bed and patted the spot next to him.
"Hey wanna play quickfire to get to know each other?" He asked
"What on Earth is quickfire?"
"It's where you ask random questions and you have to answer them in seconds, otherwise it's a HESITATION!" Louis said as if It was obvious.
"Uh okay, you first."
"Favourite colour?"
"Purple" I said "Favourite food."
"Carrots."
"Carrots?"
"Yes Carrots. Do you think I'm hot?"
"Yes." It slipped out almost too fast. I slapped a hand over my mouth. I could feel my face turning deep red.
"Haha got you! But do you really think I'm hot?"
"Favourite hobbies?" I said trying to change the subject
"Singing. You still haven't answered my question…"
"You like singing!" I said "Me too." Crap now he was going to ask what I sounded like.
"Really? Maybe we could do a duet one day!" He said
"Maybe…" I said
"So you think I'm hot?" Louis said
"No...I lied."
"You can't lie in quickfire."
"Maybe I did."
"You think I'm hot."
"So…"
"Why are you hiding it?"
"I'm not hiding anything."
"You can trust me…"
"I just met you! I'm not gunna tell you to your face that I think you're hot!"
"So you DO think I'm hot!" He teased
"Arrgghh I give up. Yes you're pretty damn sexy….happy?"
"Yes." He said grinning like an idiot
"What?"
"Oh nothing…"
"Tell me, you can trust me."
"Oh, it's just that…."
"Tell me!"
"I think your pretty damn sexy yourself…" He said looking down.
My heart fluttered. He thought I was sexy? Is this real life?
"Really" I asked turning to him
"Yeah…" He looked up.
We leant in and softly pressed our lips together. It felt so right. I had just met him, but I felt like I knew him forever and I wanted to be with him forever.
I slowly pulled away, my eyes still closed, it was amazing.
LOUI'S POV
"Oh it's just that…."
"Tell me."
Should I tell her? Oh just go for it.
"I think you're pretty damn sexy yourself…" I said looking down. I could feel myself turning red. I had only just met her, but I couldn't take my eyes off her.
"Really?" Her voice was so sweet.
"Yeah…." I said looking up.
I met her half way and our lips pressed together. Hers were so soft, so delicate. My heart warmthed for more when she pulled away.
I opened my eyes and smiled when I saw she had hers still closed.
She looked so peaceful and beautiful, yet I could feel her sadness, something that she was pushing down.
"We better go back down stairs." I said after a moment
"Sure." She said opening her eyes and looking into mine.
My heart raced, I wanted to kiss her again, I felt like I needed to kiss her again.
Jenna's POV
I followed Louis down stairs to where our parents were sitting.
"Just in time." Dad said getting up from his seat "It's getting late, and we haven't even got dinner ready."
I nodded and we walked to the door with Jay and Louis.
Dad and Jay walked out on the driveway and started talking about something.
"Can I have your number?" Louis asked
"Sure." I said as he handed me his phone. I pulled mine out of my pocket and gave it to him.
"Here you go." I said giving him back the phone.
"Jenna, let's go…" My Dad called out.
"Bye Louis." I said. I leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek. His face turned red.
"Talk to you later?" He asked
"Yep." I said following after Dad
