Joey P.O.V

I don't know what to think. I don't want to live with Her!

I know you don't Jo. Michael responded to my thought. Ok recap, Michael Adams is my forbidden love. He's the bad guy. Here's the thing my child hood love is Erik and don't get me wrong I love him. But Michael and I are imprinted which means we are connected in more ways then one. And I want to change that! I want to be in love with Erik and not Michael! I think?

I was walking in the woods just calming myself down. With the earth surrounding me. I don't know why but I love the earth! A lot!

I really wish you would stop intruding my thoughts.

Then stop thinking out loud! I can hear the smile in his voice.

What are you talking about? I was thinking to MYSELF! You hear that M.Y.S.E.L.F.

I hear you loud and clear, captain.

Are you high or something? Did they slip something in your food?

Now that I think about it, my food did taste funny.

Stupid.

Then I heard a rustling in the bushes.

Shush!

Did you just shush me?

Yes and the whole part of shush is to be quiet!

Ohhh little bad thing are you?

Never!

Jo not really, you are the kind of person that-.

I said shush!

Fine!

"Hey Jo." Said the familiar and cute voice of Erik.

"Uhhh hey um…Erik."

"Are you ok, I heard about the news?"

"Yeah I'm fine."

Who are you talking to? Michael asked.

Erik ok shush!

Ewwww! Jo how could you?

"I said shush!" I yelled, out loud.

Haha! Michael was practically yelling in my ear.

"What? What did I say?" Erik asked clearly hurt.

"Nothing! Nothing, it was just that sometimes I say stuff out loud that I don't mean." I tried my hardest to explain.

"Huh?" He had his question mark face on.

"Never mind 'kay."

"'Kay." He smiled.

Aww man! It's the smile.

What?

You see Erik has this smile that just tugs to my heart. And he knows it does. It's his boyish smile. It's basically soo cute; it's a cross between cockiness and boyish charm.

"Stop, you know what that smile does to me!" I said but I was smiling 'cause I knew what would happen next.

"Yeah of course I know. Why do you think I'm using it?" I couldn't help it.

I walked into his arms; his arms holding me tightly and me embracing him. I looked up at him and before kissing him I whispered:

"I wanna stay like this forever."

"Me too."

Then I pushed my lips against his. At first it was soft then it turned hard and intimate.

He pushed me against a tree but not hard. My hands were holding on to his hair not pulling it but at the same time tugging it. His arms were around my waist pulling me closer to him. I could feel the body heat between us. It was like I was on fire and he was the ice cooling me down with every touch.

What are you doing? Michael asked. Ohmygoodness! Michael!

Sorry!

What are you-you're making out with that tool!

Maybe, but I'm really, really sorry!

Its ok I guess. I can hear his heart shattering.

Michael! Michael don't leave! I'm sorry?

I pushed Erik off of me.

"Sorry but, you know Nymphs (I think that's how you spell it?) could be watching."

"You're right, I better get goin'."

"Yeah see 'ya." Then he kissed me before he jogged off. Guilty conscience much?

Is 'he' gone? Michael asked.

Yeah, sorry.

I forgive ya!

Really?

Of course! I love you Jo! I could mentally see his cocky grin.

Well that could just be the imprint talking. I could picture him frowning his deepest frown.

Jo! That just means we are more unique then any other couple! Oops gotta go! Love ya Jo!

Love ya Mike!

Couple? His words just kept coming in and out of my mind.
