Angel {Book 2}

Nineteen

"...Will you be my girlfriend?", Johnnie asked. His question began to echo within my thoughts. 

Should I? 

Could I? 

My mind began to ponder the pro's and con's. What if Johnnie hurts me like Tony did?

What if he cheats? What if he uses me? 

Yet, Johnnie makes me smile.

He makes all the bad thoughts go away, and as cheesy as it sounds...Johnnie gives me butterflies. He makes me believe in fairy tales. He makes me believe in happy endings.

I watched as the color drained from Johnnie's face at my silence. I was ready to answer, but there was still one question that needed an answer. 

Was I over Tony? This one question made me second guess Johnnie. I loved Tony didn't I? I did. Loved. Past tense. "Johnnie...", I began to speak but he cut me off. 

His voice a mixture of broken and torn,"Nah, I understand Jay, it's him isn't it? It's Tony? I know I never should ha-", I cut him off by pulling him to me. Wrapping my arms behind his neck and pressing my lips tenderly against his cheek. He was tense at first, shock I'm guessing, but then he hugged me back. We stood there silently in each other's embrace. Sharing warmth in the slightly chilled evening. 

Johnnie slowly pulled away, but still held me close as his eyes locked on mine. Our movements were slow but identical as we leaned in. Our noses brushed first, tickling each other. I giggled slightly and Johnnie chuckled before his eyes darted to my lips for a brief second. When our lips met. It was as if time itself froze. It was only Johnnie and I in the world. Nothing else mattered to me. This kiss sent my head spinning and made my heart flutter and leap joyously. 

I heard whispers and Johnnie did too, because it caused our little piece of heaven to break apart.Turning around I saw Bryan and that asshole was filming. When he realized he had been caught he held his hands in defense, "Uh, I SHIP IT!" Then he ran. I instinctively went to chase after him but Johnnie reached out grabbing my arm. 

He pulled me to him with a smile, "It's not worth it darling, let him run", The look in his eyes made my heart melt. There was obvious and endless love in them. 

"Yes, by God, yes...", I said through a giggle. 

Johnnie smirked,"Figured since you kissed me back Jay, but the question is, will you do it again?", I blushed softly and leaned closer. He kissed me again in a way I'll never forget, and I knew then, that I never wanted to kiss another set of lips besides his.

My phone started ringing in my back pocket. I looked at the caller I.D. only to figure out it was Dad.

"Hey, Dad" I said, putting him on speaker.

"Hi Jaycee, we just finished up. Is someone with you?" Dad questioned as if I needed a chaperone.

"Hi, Vic," Johnnie said, still looking cheerful. I groaned. 

"I don't need a chaperone, you know."

"I just wanted to ask if you wanted to sign stuff with us at the meet and greet on the Aviary Stage."Johnnie answered for me.

"Yeah. We'll see you in ten minutes. Save us a seat!" I shot him a look and then Dad hung up. 

"We have a meet and greet to go to which is apparently on a stage for the first time in awhile," he said. I nodded and we began to walk. 

It wasn't all that far of a walk to the stage and every once and awhile someone would come over and ask for one of our autographs. Once we had to get through a huge swarm of people and so to help me get through, he grabbed my hand before yelling for me to try to stay close to him. 

Once we got to the stage, all of Pierce The Veil was already sitting up there so I made my way up. And sure enough, me being my clumsy self, fell. 

No, it wasn't like a little trip on a wire. I fell off the stage which was around a 7 foot fall. 

I felt arms around me which stopped my screaming. I wasn't sure whether I wanted to open my eyes yet, either. To be honest, I wouldn't have been surprised if I was in the hospital already. 

Then I felt lips pressed against mine for a moment. I opened my eyes again.

"There's my sleeping beauty. How was the fall?" Johnnie said, a grin spreading across my face.

"Terrifying," I said, my face turning bright red. Some fans who were waiting in line started cheering and clapping. Mike started clapping too.

"I shipped it from day one!" he yelled down to Johnnie holding me in his arms. Tony elbowed him. 

"Jaycee, are you okay?" Dad yelled while jumping from his chair.

"I'm totally fine," I responded.

And, really, I was.
