Jim Hawkins x Reader Book 1- Would It Make You Wanna Stay?

Chapter 11- A Goodnight Kiss

       Y/n slipped her hand onto his he gently pulled her in with him. 'This is crazy!' She thought to herself. Y/n was never the type of person to bend the rules, let alone sneak out in the dead of night. She looked down at Jim who was setting up one of the escape boats for them to take a joyride in.

"Come on," Jim said as he took Y/n's hand lightly, "it'll be fine."

Y/n followed in Jim's lead feeling safe with his touch. She slowly got into the boat and sat in the passenger seat with her hands folded on her lap.

"You alright?" Jim asked before he handled the boat to take off.

Y/n felt her heart throb at the sound of his voice. "Ya I'm okay," she said nervously. Jim then reeved up the engine and began to slowly coast away from the ship, trying to make as little noise as possible so nobody could hear them leaving.

It was safe enough to blast away now that they were further from the ship. Just then a daunting thought came upon Y/n. "You have flown an escape boat before, haven't you?" She asked as he was fiddling around with switches.

"Not exactly," Jim said as she still set up the controls.

"JIM!" Y/n panicked even more.

"Don't worry," Jim chuckled at Y/n's reaction. "This can't be any different than flying a solar suffer... I hope."

"What?!" Y/n panicked, and with that Jim took off with Y/n in the escape boat. With only a few seconds he got the just of how to fly the ship. Jim looked over to see Y/n full of mixed emotions so he didn't do anything crazy, he took it slow and smooth.

"Care to drive?" He asked not looking at her. Y/n turned her head very slowly to face him. Jim couldn't help but laugh he then grabbed her hand. "Come here."

"Jim please no-"

"I'll help you come on," he whispered as he slowed down the boat. "I promise it's fun," he said not taking his eyes off her.

"I've never driven before," Y/n stated as she looked at all the complicated controls.

"I'll be right here," Jim assured as he sat in the driver's seat, "come on."

Y/n hesitated for a moment making up her kind, she then slowly got up from the rocky spaceboat to make her way over to Jim. She stared at him waiting for him to move, just then her face turned pink once she realized the problem.

'I- didn't think this through!' Jim thought to himself as he looked up at Y/n. The controls were too difficult for him just to what to do so he wasn't sure if he should move or offer her to sit on his lap while he taught her how to drive. It would be dangerous if he wasn't there to guide her. He didn't want it to be weird for her. 'What if she gets uncomfortable?!' He thought to himself, as if Y/n was reading his mind she asked;

"Where am I- supposed to sit?" She whispered as she tried to avoid eye contact with the boy she liked.

Jim's eyes grew. "Eh- well eh," he stuttered he then began to slowly open his legs. "You... um, you could-"

Y/n then turned around and sat in between Jim's legs. "Alright now, how do you do this?" Y/n asked to hope to change the subject or the fact that she was sitting exceedingly close to him.

"Um ya," Jim said as his face turned scarlet red as he looked at the back of Y/n neck. "Eh, place your hands on the handlebars," Jim said while he tried to remember what he was saying. Y/n grabbed onto the handlebars. "Okay, now keep her steady," Jim whispered as he taught Y/n, "there you go," he mumbled as Y/n flew them ever so slowly, she was so close to him that she could feel her chest exhilarating on her back.
