...
The scene was surreal. Joe had set up the picture perfect picnic, surprising Clem with it only moments before by unveiling her blindfold.
Clem about burst into tears at the scene, of course - the effort, the sweetness, the kindness of his heart to do this for her. Her! "Joe," she started, but he cut her off by accident.
"Clemmy. Listen, you are such a good girl. More than I deserve. These past few weeks of summer, hanging out with you, facetiming you, thinking of you, I-"
Here it came. The bandaid being ripped off. Joe - the boy she was completely enchanted by, in love with at first sight, was going to end it with her. His speech sounded routinely similar to Russell's only a few short weeks ago - but it hurt a lot worse coming from him.
"Save it." She cut him off, looking down so he wouldn't see the tears in her eyes. "I'll go. Thanks for this, anyway." She got up and started walking away.
"WHAT?" Joe yelled after her, running and gently grabbing her arm. "What's going on?"
"You didn't have to do this so romantically. I had such high hopes about this."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I mean - I don't mean to disappoint you Clem-"
"Disappoint me? By leading me on the past few weeks, flirting with me, pulling all nighters with me, all for you to bring me on some romantic date and dump me?" Clem shot back, not caring the tears rolling down her face.
"Dump you? Is that what you think this is? I'm asking you to be my girlfriend!"
Clem stopped dead in her tracks. The tears on her face froze solid in her eyes. Her heart stopped. The hair on the back of her neck stuck up and she got goosebumps all over. A million emotions washed over the girl right there - love, embarrassment, joy, humiliation. She could do nothing else but burst into laughter, and Joe did the same.
"Oh." She said dumbly, looking at Joe to get a read on him.
He did nothing but shake his head and walk towards the girl and mumble, "you crazy girl," grabbing her face and smashing their lips together. The kiss was equal parts aggression and heaven, lust and love. It was as perfect as perfect is. Their lips moved in sync, and Clem chuckled in giddiness, allowing for Joe to slip his tongue in, teasing her a bit.
"So, is that a yes?" He asked once they separated. She nodded, smiling ear to ear and pushing her lips to his once again.
"Does that mean you'll be my date to the volume 2 watch party tonight?"
