What's LOVE anyway?

There's a First Time for Everything

Jaylon's POV
On our way back to Mikayla's house, I got to know her a little better. The man in her house, Frankie-I think that's what she called him, aint even her real dad, he adopted her and her brother, Kalvin, back after they was placed in foster care. Since he'd taken her in, his wife Tonya never liked her cause he showed her less attention once Mikayla was in the picture. She never was happy with anything Mikayla and her brother did.
Her mom passed away from cancer when she was only six. She had to repeat the first grade from missing too many days.
I could tell she's talked about it alot. She started crying just after her first five words of the story and after that, not a single tear fell again.

"wow, man. Ya moms must be proud."
She broke her distant stare out her window and looked over at me,
"wha-"
I interrupted her before she got the chance to ask me anything, I turned off the car and looked over at her for a while.
"To have such a strong , smart girl as yourself as her daughter. You was real young. You kept ya brother and yourself for 11 years. She should be real proud."
I wiped the tear trails from underneath her eyes,
"I noticed the way you shut the door behind you when I picked you up today."
She bit her lip,
"Imma always be here for you when you need me Mikayla. Dont ever doubt that. Don't ever hesitate to ask for anything..
I'm really feelin you. And..I just wan-"
She kissed me.
Just like that.
She kissed me, broke it, got out the car,
and stopped in her tracks..
Just like that.
I'd fell in love with her.

Mikayla's POV
After leaving Toto's, Jaylon started up a conversation on our way back to Frank's house. That wasnt my home. It's never felt like one anyway.
Every question he threw at me I hit right back. We practically knew everthing about eachother at that point.
I even told him about my mom.
I cried a bit but pulled myself together before he could say anything.
I dont think he noticed.
I was looking out the window checking for the television lights in the living room until Jaylon said something that would stick with me forever.
Did he not just hear me say my moms been dead since I was six?!!
I tried asking him what he'd meant by that but he cut me off before I got the chance to say a single word.
He's so sweet.
As he looked me in the eyes and continued talking he wiped under my eyes and my cheeks from when I'd been crying earlier.
he noticed..he saw me cry...
Not only did he notice me crying but he saw the way I rushed him outside earlier today. I dont want him meeting Frank and ESPECIALLY not Tonya. Frank's kind and all but Tonya makes him manipulative and I'm not letting either one of them screw up what Jaylon's got going on!
I care too much about him.
He's great guy.
a really great guy. He's special.
I saw the lights in the living room shut off in JJ's side mirror and I had to get inside before Tonya put out a missing persons report or something. She's always up to no good.
I kissed him. I didn't plan to but...
he deserved it.
My first date.
My first kiss.
I opened the car door and before going inside I turned around and invited him inside.
To end the night off perfectly..
we spent the night together.
His arms around me.
Him sleeping peacefully.
Im in love with him.
