Something In Between

Chapter Sixteen

Jeremy's P.O.V.

After the swim and little confession in the waterfall, I took Mia to her favourite restaurant, where she had wolfed down on her food as if someone had chucked her in Somalia for a week or so. I had just ordered fish and chips which earned a giggle from Mia. According to her, I should be having manly lunch. The girl was a jigsaw puzzle enough. Later on, we just loitered around Times Square. I couldn't seem to stop looking at her when she was wearing a sarong that split by the side to show off her slender, sexy legs. However in that process, I did get some entertainment. She looped her hand through mine when a couple of girls passed by us, giggling and sending winks in my direction. I grinned sheepishly at my jealous girlfriend. "Jealousy is not a good colour on you, sweetheart." I whispered in her ear. She shivered slightly but quickly recovered from it.  

She huffed and puffed at that. "Well, some people should learn to keep their eyes to themselves." I stopped walking, cocking my head to the side. Staring at my confusing-as-hell girlfriend. She frowned when she tugged on my hand and I wouldn't budge. She turned her head and looked at me, questioningly. Keeping my eyes on her, I tugged on her hand causing her to bump into my chest. She looked up at me as she flattened her palms over my chest. I tucked a piece of loose hair behind her ear, gazing down at her and clearly not giving a damn that people were giving us looks. 

"You truly are one of a kind, Amelia Anderson. Who would have thought that I could have gotten so lucky?" Her eyes clouded with emotion as she leaned into my hands, her eyes fluttered. "I think I'm the lucky one," she stated while looking up at me adoringly. Cupping her soft cheeks between my big hands, I leaned forward and gave her a kiss. She instantly responded to it by tangling her hands in my hair. I tried to keep it PG though since we were in the busy streets, kissing like the world was about to end. 

We pulled away from each other, breathing heavily. She leaned her forehead against mine whilst squeezing her eyes shut. "How do you do that every time and manage to make me fall deeper for you?"

A grin lifted the corners of my mouth as I pressed another feather-like kiss on those soft, luscious lips.

"I have my ways." 

She shook her head in my mild amusement. I was about to say something when she pressed her index finger to my lips. I looked down at her in confusion. Rolling her eyes, she wrapped her fingers around my wrist and tugged me along an alley way. I was starting to worry for her sake. "Where exactly are we going, Leia?" She merely pressed her finger to her own lips and continued dragging me along to God-knows-where.

Just around the corner of the alley was a group of people. There was a girl with muticolored hair who had a guitar slung over her shoulders. A boy with a keyboard placed in front of him. And two guitarists, one of which had a mic placed before them. A drummer sat behind all of them. What surprised me more was it was a girl. It was rare to see a girl drummer but I felt an ounce of respect for the girl. I looked down at Mia to find her glowing at the sight. I was definitely whipped 'cause I felt that if I said no to that face, I would be damned.

Wrapping an arm around her waist, I pressed my mouth to her ear. "Go on then. I'll be in the crowd." She frowned. "Why not join me?" I looked around, seeing hundreds of people walking around and gulped. "It's fine. This is your thing. Besides, this will help you get over your stage fright." "That's not much of a stage," she queried. I smiled, tilting her face up. "Imagination, baby doll." I murmered softly. She smiled, nodded and gave me a mind-blowing kiss. "Don't you go anywhere." I reluctantly released my hold from around her waist, placing a kiss on her cheek. "Your wish is my command, miss." She rolled her eyes before running off to the group of people. 

I walked slowly behind her, standing just a few feet before the band. Mia whispered something into the vocalist' ear while the vocalist smiled and nodded. She whispered something to her band mates as they nodded swiftly.
