Chapter 9 - GUMMY BEARS

Katara:

His lips are warm. His lips are soft, like it's filled with clouds inside. Right now I'm... kissing him. I'm kissing the person I've been trying to avoid before. Sh-should I pull away? Or should I wait for him to? I... I can't move...

Zuko:

Gummy bears... her lips are as soft as gummy bears. I'm having the urge to squish it slowly with my lips... but, i cannot ignore the fact that I am kissing her right now. My hands are laid flat on the ground, I can't seem to move. I can't just push her away... but I can't just pull her close either... K-kat'ra...

"I'm sorry!" Jet pulled Katara up. He accidentally pushed Katara when he tripped running down the road.

The both sat up, too shocked to talk.

"have you seen Mai?" Jet asked worriedly.

Katara shook her red face.

Zuko smiled, "Right now, the best bet would be straight down. By the bus stop."

"Thanks." Jet got up and ran quickly.

Katara and Zuko stood up as they watch him go.

"Look! He's limping." Katara noticed, she was about to run after him when Zuko grabbed her wrist.

"He must've twisted it a little. It's not that bad. Let's leave him alone." Zuko tells her.

She blushed. He blushed, and then pulled his hand back. And then small drops of water fell from the cloudy sky...

Mai was pacing under the shed when it started to rain. She was looking around when she caught sight of somebody, she recognized the figure of a young man running from the distance. Mai began moving backwards... her eyes still on him. It was Jet.

"Mai!" he called. He slipped from a small puddle of water that was there. His hands landed first, his hair touched the wet ground.

Mai turned around, away from him, about to run...

"I LOVE YOU!" He shouted. Zuko and Katara must've heard that. Maybe Sokka, Suki, Aang, Toph ...and whoever else was outside.

Mai stood firmly on the ground, even if the rain was pouring on her.

Mai grind her teeth, turned to him, "Shut up!" she shouted that hurt it her throat.

Tears fell down from her eyes, then she turn to him. Her sight was blurry from tears, but she did saw Jet running toward her. Then he fell on top her. His hands grabbed her wrists. His knees supported his weight.

"Get off me!" Mai enunciated, angrily of course. She was struggling from him. "Don't ever touch me!"

"Mai. I love you." Jet said softly.

She stopped struggling, but she was still crying.

"I couldn't control myself, I'm sorry. But it was because I love you." Jet's eyes were watery. "It hurts to hear that you want me to stay away from you. It hurts that you don't want me to talk to you. It hurts to keep all these feeling inside. Please... please, don't do this anymore. Please forgive me, Mai..." Jet stared into her eyes.

Mai slapped him. Her tears were gone.

"Idiot! Why did you have to jump on me?" Mai sat up.

"I..." water was pooling on the sides of his eyes. "I jumped from the roof and twisted my ankle."

Mai wiped away her tear marks, "You're such a girl, twisting your ankle."

"Mai." Jet sat down. She looked at him. "I'm sorry." he said.

She looked down, "I'm sorry too."

He smiled. She smiled. He put an arm around her, pulling her close. Mai closes her eyes, breathing onto his face, opening her mouth slightly. Jet softly brushes his lips onto hers, then he hardens his kiss on her, twisting his tongue inside. She puts a hand on his hair, scrapping the scalp with every turn Jet makes.

Their kiss was wet. They were wet, it was already raining hard. They decided to go back, together, and clear things up.

A/N:

Okay, i'm so sorry that it's short. But it was only because i'm struggling with what to do with it. Instead, I made revisions and published another story so that I don't have to replace this. The new story is called "I'm True To You" please do check that out. It's the same as this, though a little different, and Katara's not always acting funny. When I say the same, it's like another version of this story. True to Life = True to You... hee hee

Comments, feedback and helpful criticisms... I'd love that very much. Zuko's gonna give you a gummy bear if you press that one down there :)
