You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

The kiss

Liz's pov

I turn in the tv and started flipping through channels, till I stop at the anime show called happy sugar life. It a yandere show about a girl that falls in love with little girl that she is babysitting and wants to keep her to herself. I'm a big fan of yandere, I know they are obsessive and gone crazy cause they will do anything to make that person all theirs...even if they have to kill cause there doing it for love. I see jack staring from the doorway wistfully, like a puppy looking for an invitation. I give the seat next to me a pat.

Liz:I got up and I ate your breakfast. Now we get to do something "unhealthy". As a treat, let's watch an anime show.

Jack:well. If I've taught you moderation I'll consider that my good deed for the day and oblige you.

And then just like that. I'm sat next to a retro clown man. Nice. I try to watch the show. In the corner of my eyes, he's still there. Still real. Still...not a dream. It's weird. But I can't deny that the company is nice. He's nice. Really nice. I find myself compelled further to lean against him.

Liz:woah!

I fall against him awkwardly. He feels like falling into a perfectly me sized baseball mitt. He looks over to me with a smirk that I found attractive sometimes.

Jack:hi there friend.

Liz:...sup.

He's warm. And soft. And firm? His shoulders are nice.

Jack:you getting comfy there?

Liz:...maybe.

I can feel my face heating up of how close against him.

Jack:awe. I didn't know it was cuddle time. Let's make this even comfier, huh?

Liz:huh?

He shifts around and before I know it I'm lying, head on his chest.

Liz:o-oh wow okay!

I face was for sure red as a tomato of how big his chest was. I look up and him and I feel myself torn between wanting to freeze up and wanting to melt. I feel so protected? What is this witchcraft? He looks down at me with those dark soft eyes.

Jack:I-is this okay?

Liz:...y-yeah.

Jack:I'm glad.

He's so close now. His smile is so sincere.

Jack:what? Do I have something on my face?

He doesn't. I'm looking at all of his face. As weird as it sounds, my mind is loopy with comfort. I feel so protected and cared for. I feel...loved. I want to do...something.

Liz's thoughts:...fuck it.

Without thinking, leverage his shirt, pulling on it meekly, and lean in. He seems to have been on the same wavelength, because he lean in as well. I'd considered kissing him but the way he guides me, gently caressing my face and leading me to his soft, waiting lips makes me feel more mentored than anything. All I can do is hold on tighter. I want to be closer, preferably less than a single atom away. He's calm and familiar. It feels so right. I feel one hand drift down my forearm, rubbing it slowly and tenderly. It's almost like an affirmation in how sweetly it lingers. The other hand coaxes me, keeping me never too far as we part. We pulled away to breathe and he looks at me half open eyes.

Jack:Liz.

The way he says it sends a surge down my spine. Hung onto him like this I feel my hips grow heavy against his body. I feel sticky and weighted against him, almost clinging like syrup or ooze. He doesn't let me go, and I feel so relieved when he doesn't.

Liz:is...is that okay?

I almost entirely forget I hadn't even asked. I don't know what came over me. But he chuckles and nods.

Jack:I don't mind, but did it make you feel good?

Liz:yeah...

He guides me back to his lips once more, giving me another sweet, albeit brief, I can feel the twitch of his grin as we part.

Jack:then of course it's okay.

He says in a soft, low voice. He looks at me with lidded eyes as he almost falls in, tilting my chin up and kissing it. I feel my lungs fills with hot air. I can't manage to choke out fast enough as he trails down. It's really good. I don't like the control his gentle firmness has over me, I adore it. I want whatever's coming next but I feel out of my mind with the infatuated excitement. Please...

RING-RING!!!

We stop as our heated moment was interrupted by my cell phone ringing. I want to break it in half like a chocolate bar when I pull it out of my pocket and see that it was my boss. I push answer.

Boss:Liz! Hey there!

I look at jack, almost asking for permission to disturb the silence by taking this call. He only smiles, as he tends to do.

Liz:yes...sir?

Boss:I am soooo sorry to call you like this. But how quickly can you get down here?

Liz:what do you mean?

Boss:well, carol called in sick and nobody's going to be here if she's gone. And it's a Saturday, so...well you know how people are. They're going to want anime stuff and snacks on Saturday nights anime marathon.

Liz:...

Boss:can you get down here in thirty? I have to run some errands today so I can't stay around.

Jack grips grows a little tighter. But it falls away with a deep, chest heaving sigh.

Liz:yes...sir...

Boss:great! Thanks for being a team player! See you then!

We stayed silent for a bit when I ended the call.

Jack:well it's a good thing we got you breakfast when we did.

I feel horrible. I feel like he needs me right now, for some reason. But I'm walking out on him for a pay check. But all appears not to be as somber as I think when jack takes my hand and kisses my wrist.

Jack:come on. Let's get out there and tackle this day. You won't be alone. I promise...

Right. Right nobody can see him. I feel a bit better about it all.

Liz:thank you, jack. I-I don't know...

Jack:what would you do without me?

Liz:yeah...

He smiles. Bright as ever, like a best friend I've had for years.

Jack:that's what I'm here for...

I smiled at him and pat his blue soft hair and he closed his eyes enjoying it. But I had to stop and go change to my normal clothes. I got up and left to my room to change. So much for having a lazy day today.
