Happy (late) Thanksgiving to all my American Readers!

Kennedy King: 

"Thanks for picking me up," I buckle up my seat belt and Austin starts to back out from the parking lot. "Don't even worry about it." 

It was Tuesday morning and I still haven't properly spoken to Justin. I texted him asking if we could meet up quickly today and he agreed. I was studying all weekend and Monday and today I finally have a chance to go meet up. 

"I want to get a job," I randomly blurt as Austin drives.

The blonde raises an eyebrow at me, turning to take a quick look at me when he stops at a red light. "You're getting a job? What about school?" I pick at the end of my shirt, "Well I need to make money somehow," I tell him and Austin hums. "I'll manage to multitask." 

"Do you know where you want to work?" 

"Probably a bookstore or something. Like back home in Seattle." I tell him. I miss my old job. I really liked it there. I missed my old boss Rebecca and speaking of people I miss, I really need to call Dylan. I miss him and my aunt with her boyfriend, Owen. 

Austin goes through a drive thru at McDonalds. He gets some fries and I get a soft vanilla ice-cream. Austin takes a handful of fries and attempts to feed me some with his eyes on the road. I laugh, leaning forward to take the fries with my mouth. I chew them happily and open up the plastic cover around the spoon I was given.

I offer Austin some of my ice-cream cup and he gets a few licks before I try it myself. 

"Justin said you two haven't talked yet.... why not?" 

"He needs some cooling off. Don't worry, i'm seeing him tonight." I explain.

We get to another red light. We're almost at my place. "Kennedy," Austin sighs, looking away from the road to look at me. "Don't do anything you don't want to." 

"I won't, Austin. You don't have to worry about me. It's fine." I tell him. Austin looks like he wants to argue, but I don't let him. "Now drive," I nod toward the light change and Austin let's out another sigh before driving off again. 

I thank Austin for the ride and head up to my place. I see Cody leaving his place and we exchange hello's before I head inside.

Pulling off my clothes, I change into some leggings and a sweatshirt, pulling my hair out of my face as well. I'm seeing Justin around seven at his place so I don't have to get ready yet.

Plopping down onto my bed, I pull my laptop onto my lap and open up one of my textbooks to start my work right away. I finish the rest of my ice-cream and get up to throw it out when there's a knock on my door.

I'm not expecting anyone. I look through the peephole and see Justin nervously running his fingers through his hair. I quickly unlock the door. "I thought you weren't meeting up until seven-" I say, but Justin cuts me off.

His lips meet mine feverishly and I'm quick to relax into the kiss. 

"I'm sorry," He mumbles against my lips, his hand trails up to my neck, "I was such a jerk to you. I don't know why I keep picking fights with you." He sighs, pulling away a bit. 

"I'm sorry too. It's not your fault, I've been a little oblivious to your, um, needs...." I trail off. I run my hands under his shirt, feeling up and down his warm skin. Justin raises an eyebrow at me, but doesn't say anything.

Before he can even say anything, I re attache our lips and blindly close the door behind us with my foot before pressing Justin back and away from the door.

"I don't want to get up," Justin whispers, trailing his fingers up and down my arm. "I don't either." I admit. We've been laying around in bed until Ashley, my sister, called and demanded we go out tonight. She even suggested I invite Austin, Alex and Lee (Ashley Tisdale). 

"Too bad. Ashley isn't taking no for an answer." I sigh deeply, sitting up in the bed. I grab my shirt off from the floor and pull it over my head. Before I can actually get up, Justin's arm pulls me back down onto the bed and I whine at him to let me go.

He ignores my pleads and snuggles me into his chest, kissing my neck softly. "Five more minutes." He whispers, placing his head in the crook of my neck.

"Five more minutes." I say back before closing my eyes again.
