Much sizzle and fluff

Jackson POV

I ate my waffles as savagely as Ramona did. I moved with so much excitement it caused Ramona to hit me in the knee for me to remember to breathe.

"What's up Jaxy?" Aunt Steph asked. I gave a playful glare, but the meaning was real. I hated the pet name Jaxy. Ramona had given that name to me at my sixth birthday party (WHICH SHE RUINED) and it stuck.

I suddenly remembered she asked me a question. "I had a great time last night!" I answered. "You mean you enjoyed your makeout session?" Ramona responded smirking. The memory caused me to smile, but I still stuck my tongue out at her.

"Anyway," Ramona started, "I have to talk to you Jackson." I looked slightly surprised, but nodded. "I'm right here, knock yourself out." She gave me a look that obviously said she wanted to speak privately. I nodded, then we cleared our plates and headed to my room.

As soon as the door to my room shut, I noticed Ramona looked like she was about to burst into tears. I decided to carefully ignore this.

"What's wrong?" I hardly had to ask before she spilled. "I don't like Popko." This was not really news to me, but it seemed important to Ramona.

"Why not?" I asked.

"He's a jerk. He acts nice but he's really disgusting and annoying, and I doubt he really likes me at all. I think he wants a girlfriend just to have a girlfriend, and that's so cruel. He hasn't really done anything nice for me, which I guess is understandable because we haven't been dating for really long but I kinda wish he was more like you. You are always doing super nice things for Lola and it's so cute and it makes her feel good and I wish someone could do that for me." She was extremely out of breath and she looked like she was even closer to completely breaking then before.

Okay Jackson, I told myself, If you do anything stupid you will be a considered a jerk forever.

"Ramona….." I trailed off (wow such a good start). "You're a great person, and one day you will find that perfect guy that likes everything about you. He will love you forever and his only purpose is to make you happy, and you being happy will make him happy, just like it does to me."

I could sense she was about to cry, and I took hold of her hand. I didn't know why, but holding her hand made me feel safer. My doubts about Lola were suddenly vivid. Why have Lola when I could have this amazing girl I live with?

Still holding hands, we took a seat at the foot of my bed.

"Jackson, we're crazy. You're like my brother and you have a girlfriend." Her words were true, but I could she the strain and effort it took.

"You're right. You're my sister, and that's it." I said unsteadily.

"True." She replied. However she looked unconvinced. After a few moments of awkward silence, I looked her directly in the eyes.

I wasn't aware of when I ran my hand through her hair. I wasn't in control when I pulled her face closer to mine. I could barely hear Ramona as she said, "Just like siblings, Jaxy." Then our lips collided.

Review please! Next chapter will be the aftermath...
