Longing

The way I loved you

    I just sat there in shock at the words that came out of Jeremiah's mouth.

Everyone was looking between me and him. The boys had smirks on there face and Belly was grinning from ear to ear. Jeremiah just looked at me as I looked at him, looking straight into eachothers eyes.

    "Ophelia Conklin, I have feelings for you." Jeremiah said, confirming what he had said just a minute ago.

    I blushed and responded, "Jeremiah Fisher, I have feelings...for you." As soon as those seven words spilled from my mouth, Jeremiah kissed me.

   HE KISSED ME

    I kissed him back. After a short time he pulled away. There were still three other people watching us so we couldnt get too carried away. I smiled at him as he smiled back at me.

    All of a sudden Belly squealed and hugged me. "Oh my god Belly you're hurting my ears!" I shouted at her as she squealed in my ear.

    "I dont care." She said. I just rolled my eyes at her. I looked bavk at Jeremiah to find that he was still looking over at me. I kissed him again, a quick kiss. I was just so happy.

    I mean who wouldnt be. The boy I had had a crush on forever liked me back. Oh i was so happy.

    In one quick motion the three other people who seemed to be irrelevent got up and ran away from me and Jeremiah.

   I laughed and rolled onto my back as me and Jeremiah were alone on the towels now. I lifted my head and watched as Conrad and Steven turned to us briefly and pretended to makeout, mocking me and Jeremiah.

    I threw my head back onto the towels and laugh again.

    All of a sudden, Jeremiah was on top of me. His hands on either side of my head. I looked up at his face and he was grinning widely.

   "Hey." he said. "Hey Jere." I said with a giggle.

   He leaned down and kissed me. This time more passionately, since we didnt have a crowd watching us.

    I wrapped my hands around his neck and kissed him back. He pulled away after what felt like decades, and we both caught our breath, breathing heavily.

    He rested his forehead against mine. Our moment didnt last long, cause just as Jeremiah was rolling off of me Steven, Conrad and Belly dumped three buckets of water on us, getting us and the towels soaking wet.

    I screamed loudly from the cold ass water. "What the fuck!" I yelled at the trio. They just laughed. I looked over at Jeremiah to see that he was laughing too.

    I quickly got up and chased Belly, since she was the only one I was faster than. I quickly grabbed her arm and dragged her to the water. I grabbed the bucket out of her hand and filled it with water. She tried to run but before she could I dumped the freezing water over her head.

    She screamed loudly and I laughed. We kept laughing as we walked back over to the boys who were now wrestling.

   It was now about one o'clock, and we all decided to go home. We all hopped into the car in the same seats as before, and Jeremiah rested his hand on my thigh. I blushed at this.

   Once we got home mom and Susanna were already home. Me and Jeremiah walked in holding hands and obviously they both noticed.

   "Whats going on here?" My mom asked pointing at me and Jere's intertwined hands.

   "Uhhhh. Me and Lia are..." Jeremiah said, unsure of what we were. Neither if us had really asked since this was so new.

    "Me and Jere are together." I said to ease the tension. Mom and Susanna looked at eachother, then back to us. They both cane over and hugged us.

    "We knew you two would end up together." Susanna said. I looked at her confused. "You did?" I said confused.

    "Yep." My mom said, and with that they both walked away. I looked at Jeremiah and shrugged. In one swift motion Jeremiah grabbed my waist and kissed me again. I kissed him back.

   He pulled away and said, "Im so glad you feel the same way that I do." I blushed and replied, "Me too, Jere."
