Chapter Eight

I was literally in a heavenly bliss. Our lips were moving together in perfect sync. I was a little hesitant at first because I wasn't sure where he was going with this, but he slowly coaxed me into the kiss. He placed his hands around my waist pulling me even closer to him. I didn't know where else to put my arms so I just wrapped them around his neck, bringing him in a little closer to me. Eventually we had to pull away so we could both catch our breath.

I stepped back from him looking up at him with wide eyes. He looked as if he was still in a daze. I didn't do anything but look at him. I guess he finally came back to reality because he just looked at me and took a step forward. I tensed up. Why? I'm not exactly sure myself.

"Jordan, I - I don't know what came over me." He said raking his hands through his hair nervously. He had a tiny pout on his face.

"M - me neither. I really didn't expect to come in here and be kissed like that."

I was about to say something else but he cut me off.

"I'm so sorry Jordan. It won't happen again. Gah! I've probably just ruined our entire friendship Are you mad? I totally understand if you don't want to see me anymore. It just felt so amazing that when we were hugging each other I basically lost control of myself. You don't know how long I've wanted to kiss you Jordan. I just acted on instinct."

I stood back shocked, "You wanted to kiss me?"

He looked at me with a bewildered look on his face. I guess he didn't know how insecure that I was about myself. I mean sure, I had a new look, new car, and a different personality change but that didn't mean that the old Jordan wasn't still deep down inside me.

"What do you mean I wanted to kiss you? Jordan, do you not know how beautiful you are? When I first saw you on the basketball court at the park I couldn't keep my eyes off of you. I wanted to go up and talk to you but you just looked so content on being there by yourself. I didn't want to ruin anything. You are an amazing girl and any guy would be lucky to have you. I was actually hoping that that guy would - could be me."

I couldn't do anything but just stand there. I was frozen. He glanced at me again before putting his head back down. "Jordan, please say something. I know I probably messed up big time but I just can't take you just looking at me like this. Just please. I - I"

I silenced him by pressing my lips back against his. The time for actions was over. Forget Christian, I liked Caden and all that mattered at the moment was that he had kissed me and he liked me back. I couldn't have been happier when we separated for the second time that night.

"I thought you didn't even know I existed until I changed my hair, makeup and style." I looked into his eyes that were sparkling. "I guess you are different from most of the guys that are here."

He looked at me and smiled, his eyes crinkling, "Jordan, I don't even have the words to describe how happy that I am right now. I thought you were interested in Christian this entire time. I had no clue that you liked me."

I winked, "I'm pretty good at hiding my emotions. It's a good trick that I taught myself whenever I was in elementary school. You really needed to have that handy whenever Aria was around."

He kind of frowned, "Aria really does seem like she was a handful back in elementary."

"She was."

He pulled me closer to him. "Enough about her and her childish ways. What I really want to talk about is us." He stopped for a moment. I guess he was debating on his choice of words.

"Well, is there an us now?" He looked down at me curiously.

I panicked slightly. I had never had a boyfriend before. I wouldn't even know what to do in a relationship. What if I messed everything up before it even got a chance to have a good start? There were so many things running through my mind. I could tell when Caden started to get nervous about my answer because he started getting fidgety.

"It's okay if you don't want to be my girlfriend. I know I kind of came on a little strong and-"

Oh what the heck. What did I have to lose? It was time to continue living. I had already gotten a new look and ride. Now with having a boyfriend, this would be the icing on the cake. "You know you talk a lot whenever you get nervous. As for your question...yes there is an us. I'd be glad to be your girlfriend."

He grinned happily and leaned in to kiss me one more time. Sadly, he didn't get a chance to because Richard knocked on the door lightly. We hurriedly sprung away from each other. We didn't need to get in trouble for showing public display of affection during work. You would get wrote up for that. Losing my job and just using my parent's easy money was the last thing that I wanted to do. I quickly picked up a box and acted like I was going through it counting the items that were within it.

"How are you two kiddos coming along? It isn't too hard for you is it?" Richard asked with a teasing tone.

I shook my head. "No, we are doing just fine."

"Since we're not really getting a lot of customers tonight, I'm just going to let you two kids go on home a little bit earlier than usual."

I squealed. Score! I made the basketball team; got a new boyfriend and I got to go home earlier than usual. Could my day get any better? Caden and I both thanked Richard and he told us to find a stopping place and just come back and finish everything up later. As soon as Richard left the room, Caden started tickling me. I had to suppress my laughter.

"Stop stop" I laughed.

"Make me." He challenged.

I gave him a sly smile and walked out of the room, "Oh I will boyfriend."
