I'm a mess (on hold) :: kian a.u

chapter 6

jack

my date with krista is today. finally. she's been putting it off and she won't tell me the reason. something is strange about her. she won't let me meet any of her friends yet and she barely talks about her family. to be honest, I barely know anything about her besides a few minor things. she's so intriguing in every way and unlike the other girls I've dated. 

I really like her, but sometimes I feel like I'm the only one putting anything into this relationship, or whatever this is. maybe I'm moving too fast. I don't want to tell krista that I'm having these thoughts but I might. I can't decide yet. I'm on my way to pick her up now.

krista

jack is on his way to my house. since we're going to six flags, I decided to wear shorts and my favorite striped crop top. it's only March so it's not very hot outside. the doorbell rang, and I saw a car parked outside my house. 

"kian, this is a bad time." I said when I saw kian standing there instead of jack.

"well don't you look fancy. who are you all dressed up for?" he said, his eyes scanning my body. I felt the heat rush to my cheeks and the butterflies returned to my stomach, but I ignored the feelings.

"I actually have a date. we're going to six flags." I explained.

"so cliche. I thought you hated cliches?" he rolled his eyes.

"I'd love to stay and chat but my date is actually picking me up right now...well this is awkward." I said as jack walked up to the door.

jack just stood there very awkwardly, giving me a look of confusion.

"hey krista. I'm jack." he shook hands with kian and kian had a very annoyed look on his face.

"um jack, this is kian. my friend." I said awkwardly.

"pleasure to meet you." jack said.

"mhm." kian mumbled.

"jack and I will be going now. see you late,r kian." I said.

I think that was the most awkward conversation of my life.
-

"sorry about that. he's like my brother, very overprotective. he's going through some things right now and hasn't been leaving me alone." I explained while in the car.

"I assumed so. I think he likes you, considering the look he gave me when you introduced me to him." I sighed.

jack seemed sort of annoyed.

"don't take it personally, he's always like that." I said.

"I'll try not to. well at least I've met one person associated with you. how come you never tell me anything about your friends or family?" he questioned.

"my family is simple. my parents are divorced and I live with my mom. I basically have a group of really good friends. jc, connor, andrea and kian. they've heard of you, I talk about you quite a lot." I explained.

finally Jack smiled.

"hopefully I'll meet them soon. six flags, here we come."
-
everything about six flags is huge. the rollercoasters towered over me. I could barely see the tops. I hate rollercoasters, but I didn't tell jack that since he loves them. we waited in line for a ride called nitro. it was HUGE, to say the least. I'm terrified. jack noticed the look of straight up panic on my face.

"if you don't want to ride we don't have to." he said.

I don't want to look stupid.

"no it's fine I promise." I assured him.

I made the worker check my seatbelt four times, just to make sure it was secure. we were sitting in the front row. great.

the car was climbing up the hill very slowly, the anxiety spreading throughout my body.

"you can hold my hand if you want." he said.

I think I practically cut off jack's circulation in his hand.

-

we had been on at least twenty rides, and it was getting dark outside.

"wanna go on the ferris wheel before we leave?" jack asked.

"sure, I love those!"

from the top, you could see everything. I felt like I was on top of the world, like in the movies.

"wow. this view is amazing." I said quietly.

"it really is. today was so much fun krista."

jack scooted closer to me. I didn't notice how close he was to me until I turned my head and his face was right in front of mine. I could smell his cologne and the hint of peppermint on his breath.

"you're beautiful."

I'm pretty sure even in the darkness you could see the redness of my cheeks. 

sitting at the top of the Ferris wheel, I finally understood what people meant when they said that the world was beautiful. for once, everything was going okay. it's like all of my problems flowed to my fingertips and left my body.

then he kissed me. it caught me off guard at first, but then I relaxed. his lips were soft but hard at the same time. in that moment, everything was perfect.
