Anything But Ordinary ☯ Josh Hutcherson [unedited]

Chapter 7

Josh's POV

Liz kissed me.

I'm not going to lie, it took me by surprise but I'm not complaining.

As she backed away a bit I looked down at her beautiful blue eyes.

"I thought you said I wasn't your type" I joked and she laughed as her cheeks turned a pretty shade of pink.

"I did tell you that but later I let you know I had lied because I don't have a type. I like what I like" she replied and I smiled. 

"Well, lucky for you I don't have a type either" I said before taking her face in my hands and brushing my lips against hers again.

They were so soft (her lips) and molded perfectly with mine, as if they were meant to complete each other. Then she parted them and my tongue found it's way inside, deepening the kiss as my arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer. She kissed me with the same amount of fiery passion and then before ending the kiss, she bit my lip seductively which caused a groan to escape my mouth. She smiled.

"You really know what you're doing, don't you?" I accused and she laughed.

"Well... you weren't that bad either" she said smiling.

"Right" I said awkwardly and looked away.

"I know that look" she said with a tired sigh and I quickly looked back at her.

"What look?" I questioned slowly.

"You know, the look guys have when they are trying to figure out what happens now. I kissed you and then you kissed me.... we kissed and now you have no idea what that means" she answered.

"Wow... that was accurate. Does this happen to you often?" I asked slowly, feeling a sting of nervousness and something very similar to jealousy as I waited for her reply.

"I'm not going to answer that question" she told me, with a serious expression on her face.

"Why?" I pushed, I really wanted to know if she always did this to guys, you know, the leading them on but not really wanting to commit to them.

"Because I'm not the type of girl to give explanations or the type to say what you want to hear. I do what I want, when I want, if I want. As simple as that. Because some people just like complicating things and that ain't my style" she responded and I let out a frustrated breath out.

"I knew since day one that getting close to you would be hard. I knew sometimes it would suck but I thought, I'm not giving up because I know she needs someone like me in her life... I just realized that maybe I should have thought more about finding out if you even wanted someone in your life" I said before I could stop myself and I saw surprise in her eyes, she wasn't expecting me to say this.

"Josh... that's a little.... too much emotion to try to show someone you've known for just a week.... take it easy" she finished in a whisper, trying to soften the blow.

"Why, Liz? It's not going to change anything, Michael was right wasn't he?" I asked before I realized what I had said.

"What did he tell you?" she asked with a frown.

"That you were just playing me. That maybe this was your way of getting back at me for the first day, when we met and I was messing with you. That you wanted me to have feelings for you so you could break my heart" I went on and on as I got more and more upset.

"Do you have feelings for me Josh?" she asked slowly but she wore no expression whatsoever so I had no idea what she was thinking.

Now, should I lie or tell her the truth?

"Well?" Liz urged on and I let out a frustrated sigh.

"I don't know! I mean... I like you, obviously, but it could be something more, because I just feel like I want to be someone important in your life. I want to be someone you care about and call when you need someone to talk to, or a shoulder to cry on. Someone you trust that will protect you from all the people that may try to hurt you" I went on and she just stood there speechless, her expression revealing nothing of what was going on in her mind.

"Will you just say something?" I begged and she looked away.

"What am I supposed to say to that Josh? Do you think people normally tell me they want to take care of me? No, they don't. Since my mom died five years ago no one gives a shit and I pretend like it doesn't bother me; that I can take care of myself because I'm strong and don't care about having someone to share the hurt and the pain with" she finished in a whisper.

"But you do care and you do hurt" I said tilting her chin up so she would be looking at me.

"I do" she stated.

"Then give me a chance to show you how good it feels to have someone take care of you, someone to share life with.... just give me a chance to make you trust" I said softly as I leaned down almost brushing her lips but not really.

My forehead was against hers and I could feel her hot breath on my face as she looked in my eyes.

"Why would you want that? Michael was right about me, about what I was trying to do to you" she whispered.

"I don't care" I replied a little breathless thanks to the effort it was taking me not to kiss her until she said yes to giving me a chance.

"C'mon Josh, you could find a better girl for yourself, a nicer one that's not broken and half crazy already" she suggested and I chuckled.

"I would get bored" I assured and she rolled her eyes at me.

"You're stubborn" she accused and my smile turned wider.

"I have to be, because so are you!" I replied and she snorted.

"I'm not getting rid of you easily am I?" she asked me as she bit her lip nervously and I swear it was the sexiest thing I had ever seen.

"Nope" I said simply because I didn't trust myself to say something more.

"You're choice" she said before reaching up to kiss me and I gladly followed suit.

Liz's POV

I had no clue where this was going or what will happen tomorrow but I guess I should enjoy the ride while it lasts.

After the whole waterfall jump, confessions and kissing session we went back to the hotel and bumped into Michael.

"Good to see you guys together. Tomorrow we'll be filming early. Be ready at 6:30am" he said quickly as if her were in a hurry and then went on his way.

"Well thanks for today... I'll see you later?" I asked Josh and he smiled.

"I'll see you in an hour, I'll come get you at your suite.... wear something comfortable" he said before placing a soft kiss on my cheek and walking away.

What the hell is going on? It should be me the one in control of this whole thing.... I don't like where this is going.
