Cincinnati 1997:
"Come on Jon! We'll be late for school!"
"I'm coming, I'm coming!"
Jon slipped his shoes on and headed out of the room. He grabbed an apple from the fruit basket and left with Adriana to go to school.
"Did you do your homework?" Adriana asked.
"I think I did...what did we have to do for science again?"
"Page 122, questions 1-20."
"Ah, I only did 18 of them. Oh well."
"What do you mean "Oh well."?
"At least I got MOST of it done. That counts for something right?"
"You are a piece of work," Adriana said, shaking her head.
"Oh come on! You know you love me!"
"I do. I also would love to see you pass!"
"Don't worry. I got it all figured out!"
Today, they had a test in history. Adriana was looking over her study guide. Jon tapped her on the shoulder.
"Who were those two dudes that explored the west again? With that Indian chick."
"Lewis and Clark. They were with Sacagawea, who helped them."
"Cool."
"Jon, you really should've studied!"
"I did. I just forgot some things is all."
Once the test was passed out, Jon tried his hardest not to rush through the answers. He knew most of the questions but not all. He simply circled some random answers to finish on time.
Adriana took her time even though she knew all of the answers. She hoped Jon would pass. Boy, was it tough trying to help him sometimes. Sweet kid and amazing person, but when it came to doing homework, he slacked. School never interested him but he still needed to do the work regardless. Since Adriana was a good influence anyway, Jon took her advice and actually started to do his work more. She even dragged him along to study sessions.
"So, how did you think you did?" Adriana said.
"I think I probably got a B," Jon said.
"Better than that F you got on the last one."
"F for fantastic!" Jon said. "I'm starving. Let's go get some pizza."
Adriana and Jon went to Mario's Pizzeria. Adriana ordered lasagna while Jon ordered two slices of pizza and some fries.
"Where do you put all of the food?" Adriana asked.
Jon was slim but could eat his ass off.
"I have no idea," he said. "Dang, that soda is great."
Whatever they didn't finish, they took home for later.
"Hey, remember what we carved into the tree near the pond? Let's go see if it's still there," Jon said.
And it was.
"J and A, Forever" was still carved into the tree with the heart still around it.
"Five years," Adriana said, touching the tree.
"Five years of us being with each other. It's crazy isn't it?"
"Yeah. Remember what you said about marrying me?"
"Yup."
"Did you really mean it?"
"Of course I did. Nothing has changed."
"Good," Adriana said.
She turned to look at Jon.
"You're incredible," she said.
"You are too."
"And your dimples!"
"STOP IT!"
Adriana hopped in the bathtub and soaked for a while. She began to think about the very first day that she met Jon.
He may have seemed like a bad kid to many but to her, he was a truly genuine person. Even now he keeps telling her that stand up for herself and to not take anyone's shit. Jon sort of fell back into the habit of fighting people but he still kept his temper under control.
Adriana unplugged the stopper in the tub and got out. She was reaching for her towel on the rod when the door opened.
Jon was staring right at her. His eyes landed on her developing breasts and private area.
"OH! SORRY!" Jon said, slamming the door shut.
His face was on fire. He went to get a drink of water.
In all of his years knowing Adriana, this was the first time he actually saw her completely naked. He was trying to shake his mind of that image. But she did look beautiful.
"Jon?"
He spun around and saw Adriana in her bathrub.
"Look, I didn't mean to walk in on you," he said.
"It's fine. The bathroom is all yours."
Adriana went to change for bed. Jon joined her soon after.
Poor Jon couldn't stop thinking about Adriana's breasts. She did hit puberty early. Both of them did.
"Jon?" she said.
"Yeah?"
"Don't be ashamed. Okay?"
"Uh, I don't know what you're talking about."
"Yeah. You do. It's fine."
"I'm sorry okay. I should've knocked but I didn't," Jon said.
"We'll get used to seeing each other undressed or naked soon enough."
And someone would've been a fool to say she wasn't right.
Jon had stepped out of the shower feeling refreshed. He had dried himself off and went into the bedroom to change. He was competely naked, searching for underwear in the drawer.
He heard the door open and in came Adriana.
"Told ya," she said. "Dinner is ready by the way." Then she left.
"Damn, that girl is good," Jon said to himself.
Jon slipped on a shirt and some sweatpants and went to dinner.
Adriana and Jon did what they did best: sit in front of the t.v. and eat. Jon stole some food off of Adriana's plate. Adriana poked Jon's hand with her fork.
"Leave my tomatoes alone."
"Or else?"
"Or I'm gonna throw you out of the window."
"Fiesty! Aren't we?"
"You dang right!"
They then ate ice cream and went into the room to go to sleep.
Sleeping was futile though.
Jon couldn't stop thinking about Adriana. Her body, rather. That was his first time ever seeing an actual pair.
"Adriana?" he said.
"Hmm?"
"Um...can we try something?"
"Like?"
"Um...can I feel...your breasts?"
There was a moment of silence.
"Dang it! I'm sorry!"
Adriana had got up and turned the light on. Jon looked at her like a deer in highlights.
"Give me your hands," she said.
Jon sat up. Adriana took Jon's hands and placed them on her breasts.
"Wow," Jon said in a whisper. "Squishy."
Adriana giggled. "I know."
"So this is how they feel like," Jon said. He was completely amazed at the sensation.
"Yup. Satisfied now?"
"Um...I think so."
"Good. Now," Adriana said, removing Jon's hands from her breasts. "Go to sleep."
Adriana kissed Jon on the nose and cut out the light.
Jon layed on his side.
Tonight was the best night of his life.
Author's Note: Okay, so I have a feeling that some might be going "What in the world?" The two of them saw each other naked on accident. Lol. And so, Jon, being the boy he is, was just simply curious. That is all. Please do not take this the wrong way. I'm just making them the cutest little couple as possible!
