During the summer, Adriana and Jon spent most of their time at the park. Jon enjoyed playing tag and hide and seek with her. The two would even eat together in the park. Today, Adriana made them peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She made Jon two because he was indeed a big eater.
"You wanna go to the bookstore later? I think that Goosebumps series is out now," Adriana said.
"Sure thing." Jon took a bite of his sandwich.
He looked at Adriana and thought of something. He opened his sandwich, scooped up some jelly and smeared it on Adriana's cheek.
"Jon!"
"I'm sowey!" he said.
Adriana opened her sandwich, took half of it, and slapped it on Jon's face. He looked horrified.
"Oh! I'M SOWEY!" she said.
She stuck out her tongue and ran off.
"Get back here!" Jon yelled after her.
Adriana saw a tree and started to climb it like a spider monkey. Jon was caught up to her and climbed the tree as well.
Adriana plopped herself onto one of the branches. Jon joined her and wrapped her arms around her.
"You know we have to go back home and clean up right?" he said.
"Yup."
Jon smiled.
"Look at me," he said.
Adriana did as he said. She was taken aback when Jon kissed her on the lips.
Adriana blushed.
"Um..." was all she could say.
"Sorry," Jon said, looking at the ground.
The wind began to blow. Jon's hair also blowed in the wind.
"No, it's okay. I liked it," Adriana said. "Can you kiss me again?"
Jon looked back up at her and smiled. He leaned in and gave Adriana another kiss on the lips.
"Let's go home so we can clean up and go get that book!" she said.
Jon and Adriana raced home, quickly got cleaned up, and made their way to the bookstore to buy the Goosebumps book.
"What's it called?" Adriana said.
"Welcome to Dead House. I like it already," Jon said.
"Let's stay up late and read it," Adriana said.
"That is if you're not too chicken," Jon said, mockingly.
"I'm not a chicken," Adriana said.
"Says you!"
Adriana playfully shoved Jon and took off running. Once they entered back into their apartment, they ate dinner. Jon read to Adriana and they both fell asleep in each others' arms.
"Ah! Damn school again," Jon murmured under his breath.
Summer was over and it was time to go back to school.
"Oh, you'll be fine! Besides, you have me," Adriana said.
She had her hair in a long braid.
"Well then, my lady, let's go!" Jon said.
Today was a Welcome Back Day Assembly. Adriana and Jon sat in the back, away from the rest of the kids. Jon zoned out then fell asleep, snoring a little with his mouth open. Adriana closed it for him so a fly wouldn't land in his mouth.
The assmebly ended and Adriana spent ten minutes trying to wake Jon up.
"Jon! Let's go."
"Unicorns..." he mumbled under his breath.
Adriana helped Jon out of the auditorium. Jon didn't get much sleep the previous night because he was too busy trying to stay up instead of falling asleep.
"Maybe next time you'll sleep instead of trying to watch t.v.," Adriana said.
"I love Rugrats. What can I say?" Jon said.
They both of them had the same class together. Jon had to convince another student to switch seats with him so that Jon could sit next to Adriana.
"Why should I move?" the boy asked.
"Because Adriana is my girlfriend and I wanna be near her. I'll give you a dollar and a lollipop if you let me have this seat."
"Done!"
Jon plopped down in the desk next to Adriana.
"Hiiii," he said.
Adriana waved her fingers at Jon.
"Do I know you from somewhere?" she asked.
"I dunno. Do ya?" Jons said, poking Adriana's cheek.
"Hmmm...isn't your name...Jonny?" Adriana said.
"Jon...Jonny...Jonny Boy. Whatever, it don't matter," Jon said.
The two of them continued to flirt until their teacher yelled at them to pay attention since class was about to start.
The school bell at the end of the day finally rang which signaled the end of school. Jon and Adriana headed to their usual getaway.
"Okay, let's carve our initials in this tree right here next to the pond," Jon said.
Jon took out a switchblade from his pocket.
"Where did you get that!?" Adriana said.
"My former home. You know what, it wasn't a home at all. It was hell. I kept this blade to defend myself. I did use it once on a guy," he said.
"Just...be careful with it, okay?" Adriana said.
"I will."
Jon began carving into the tree. It didn't take him long to do. He carved a heart and put the letter J and the letter A in it. Underneath it, he wrote "Forever".
"Well, how do you like it?" he said.
"It's perfect," Adriana said.
She hugged Jon. Jon squeezed her, picked up, and swung her around for a bit before putting her back on her feet.
"You know what?" Jon said.
"Yeah?" Adriana said.
"I can see you as my wife."
"Yo-yo-yo-your wife?"
"Yup. My wife. That's not...weird is it?"
"No. I can see you as my husband."
Jon grinned.
"You're my queen," he said.
"You're my king," Adriana said.
It was starting to get dark so the two of them headed home.
"Ow!" Jon said.
"What's wrong?" Adriana said.
"My tooth."
Jon had bit into a slice of pizza. It pained him to continue eating.
"Uh oh. Let's go!" Adriana said.
She grabbed Jon's wrist and led him to the bathroom. She sat him down on the toilet.
"Be. Very. Very. Still."
Adriana began wiggling Jon's loose tooth.
"No! Don't! Stop!"
"It has to come out!"
"Let it fall out on its own! OOOOWWWW!"
Adrian wiggled the tooth some more and finally she snatched it out. A little bit of blood ran down Jon's lip. He went to the sink and washed out his mouth. He then looked in the mirror and saw the hole in his mouth.
"Your bottom row is missing a tooth," Adriana said, wrapping his tooth in toilet paper.
"Whatever!" Jon said.
He stormed out of the bathroom and went back to the kitchen to eat. Adriana placed the tooth under his pillow.
Jon awoke the next morning all excited.
"I got two dollars for my tooth! Wooo! More candy!"
Adriana was the one who put the cash under his pillow.
"More candy that will rot your teeth. Tsk tsk tsk," she said. "When will you ever learn, Jonny Boy?"
"I'm living in the moment!" Jon said.
Jon bought loads of chocolate candy and devoured it all later.
"You shouldn't have eaten all of them," Adriana said.
"You're right. Because I have to puke!"
Adriana spent the rest of the night rubbing Jon's tummy for him.
"This shall teach you a lesson," Adriana said.
"Yeah. Next time, I'll make you eat all of the candy."
The remainder of 1992 went by relatively fast. To the delight of Adriana and Jon, Christmas finally came.
"More books and Barbie dolls!" Adriana said.
"Sweet! More wrestling action figures!" Jon said.
Jon and Adriana played with their toys, drunk loads of hot chocolate (Jon didn't get sick this time surprisingly), and watched How The Grinch Stole Christmas.
"Oh! Look at that. Guess we're under the mistletoe!" Jon said.
He held one above his and Adriana's head.
Adriana gave Jon a kiss on the cheek which Jon returned.
"Love you," Jon said.
"Love you too," Adriana. "By the way: YOU'RE IT!"
Author's Note: I know I had Adriana and Jon kissing each other but hey, some little kids exchange kisses with other kids. I couldn't help myself and decided to make it as cute as possible. :)
