Jimmy and I exchanged an uneasy glance. I steadily got up from the computer chair and walked up to the kitchen where my mother was.

I squeezed my wrist, trying to get my heart pace to slow down. "What's up?"

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" She crossed her arms.

I shrugged. "What're you talking about?"

My mother sighed in exasperation. "Parker told me that he walked in on you and that Jimmy guy...you finish the sentence, Noel."

My bottom lip quivered. "No, I was at Jimmy's house and we were swimming in his pool and we wore our bathing suits back here and we were just getting dressed, I swear, it's not what it looked like." I was surprised at how fast I thought of that lie.

My mother was evidently unconvinced by the look on her face. She arched an eyebrow. "Noel, be honest, please."

"I am!" I snapped.

She paused, glaring at me. "If I see any of this shit again, you guys won't be seeing each other again, got me?"

I reluctantly nodded, and she walked out of the kitchen. Once she was out of sight, I sighed in relief. I walked back into the computer room.

"So?" Jimmy said as I approached him. I sat back on the chair next to him.

"I told her we were just getting dressed. I don't know if she was convinced, but at least she didn't go berserk."

I kissed Jimmy as my worries slowly melted away. God, what would I do if he was taken away from me?

1 week later

Marion was finally out of the hospital, left with only minor cuts and bruises. Daniella, Marion, Jimmy and I were all reuniting by swimming in his pool.

"So, any news with you two?" Daniella asked after she jumped in, looking at Jimmy and I.

"Nothing," I laughed bashfully.

"Girl..." Daniella grasped my shoulders. "Tell me. Did you two do the nasty again?"

"No," I lied.

She glared at me, unconvinced.

Jimmy arched an eyebrow at her, draping his arm around me.

"Jim, I've been meaning to ask you this for a while, but your eyebrows are like, naturally arched. It's ugly," Marion joked, splashing water at him.

"Girlie," Jimmy snapped his fingers in a sassy manner. "My eyebrows are sexier than you."

Marion over-dramatically gasped. "I am going to hit you so hard, your man boobs are gonna sag."

"I don't have man boobs."

"Uh-huh," Marion placed her hand on his apparent "man boob" area. (He doesn't have man boobs, not even close.)

Jimmy yanked her hand away. "Stop touching my tits! Only Noel can do that."

I barked out laughing. "Oh, I've done more than that," I whispered in his ear, smirking.

"Jim, the water must be really cold by the looks of you," Marion said as her comeback.

He gaped at her. "Oh no you didn't!" Jimmy started laughing, but fought the urge. "Noel calls me Mr. Big P-"

I covered his mouth with my hand. "You won't have a big dick if you say it."

I let go, crossing my arms triumphantly.
