Seven Minutes in Heaven ✗ jimmy fallon

3. Ready Set Kiss!

"What are you doing here?" I asked, tucking a lock of hair behind my ear.

Jimmy leaned in and whispered: "Can I talk to you?" He motioned for me to come outside. I just glared at him.

"Please?"

I bit my lip, then stepped outside, closing the door behind me. "What d'ya want?"

"Did you get my texts?" Jimmy asked, ignoring my question.

"Uh-huh,"

"Do you have any idea how guilty I feel?"

I stayed silent.

Jimmy rubbed the back of his neck. "The reason I wanted to hang out with you so fast yesterday was because...because I wanted to-well, I was going to go to a restaurant with a friend of mine, but he bailed out on me. I originally wanted to ask you of you wanted to go..." He took a deep breath. "I was just-just too nervous."

Pause. "Why were you nervous? I would've said yes,"

"I mean, I didn't want to move so fast and..." He trailed off.

"And...what?" I crossed my arms.

Jimmy fidgeted with his fingers as if he was about to perform on Broadway for the first time. "I'm, uh, in love with you,"

It took me a few minutes before what he said sunk into me. "Come again?"

"Ever since I laid eyes on you, o-on the first day of high school, I've been in love with you. I don't know, it was just something about you..." Jimmy caressed my cheek. "Your face. Your sweet, innocent face. How you don't give a fuck about popularity. How you were never afraid to express your inner core. Everything."

I felt my eyes well up, but I pushed my tears back down. I was so aggravated at him, but I couldn't help the feeling.

"I couldn't even bear with myself after I spread those rumors about you. I'm sorry, I can't stress it enough. You, I love-" Before he could finish his sentence, I walked over to him and kissed him.

It was passionate; gentle and warm. I wrapped my arms around Jimmy's neck as his hands moved down my back until his hand landed on my ass.

I laughed in his mouth. "Sorry, I'm new to that."

Jimmy let go. "What? This?" He playfully cupped my ass harder, I bent over laughing.

"C'mere," Jimmy pulled me back over to him by the arm and kissed me again.

Then the kiss became more hard; Jimmy's hands were all over me while I was standing there, utterly clueless to where I should put my hands. I let out an unintentionally sexual moan.

I looked around to make sure nobody else was looking, then caught Parker staring at us while he was frozen with the door halfway open, wide-eyed and his jaw hanging low.

I looked at Jimmy, who now had red cheeks from embarrassment. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a twenty dollar bill then said: "$20, you saw nothing,"

Parker nodded, then raced away.

I laughed. "Bribery,"

"You got it, girl." Jimmy winked. "So, are we good now?"

I gulped. "It may take me a whole to get over it, but yeah, we're good."

He smiled in relief. "Thank you." He looked me in the eyes with his chocolate brown eyes, sending shivers up my spine. "Have you ever done pranking?"

"Pranking?" I raised a brow. "No, why?"

"Well, there's this list that I've had for a while. It's a list of all of the pranks I've wanted to do for, like, the longest time. And--if you have nothing planned--we could do them."
