My Bullet-Proof Vest

Chapter 9- Fifty Million Fireworks

Ayleecia grinned like a Cheshire cat.

Why did I just say that out loud!?

Oh my gawd!

What if he heard?! I mean, I don’t want him to think I’m some stalker, or that I am breaking our “friendship”. Although he has been making it so confusing because of all the mixed signals… it’s a mistake, a proper date?

This isn’t healthy!

I felt a body behind me, my stomach began to flutter. I’m so falling hard.

“Who’s ‘hawt’?” Jeremy smiled as I turned around.

“Urhm, no-one, urhm, no! It was that guy, yeah walking over there. Yeah, he was, urhm, cute.” Jeremy’s smirk faded, and he slightly frowned.

 “Okay, I can’t stand this anymore!” Ayleecia half-yelled. “Look, you both like each other, so what that “holy matrimony” is over your heads! Don’t let that stop you from having that relationship. Seriously, Dani if I had a guy like Jeremy that liked me back then I would just jump in his arms and let him kiss me senseless!” I could see a small crowd drawing, as Leech’s arms shook around.  

Why Ayleecia?

My feet took control of my brain and I decided to run away, I passed Gloria and my Nan who called something out but I didn’t hear them. I turned the corner and went down a small alleyway stopping my breath was in pants. Putting my hands on my knees I leant over. I saw a black blur pass the entrance of the hall way, I knew that figure because it made my stomach flutter. This really isn’t healthy…

The figure came back, I put my head in my hands, and let my hair fall like a running tap in front of me, my brown hair in slight natural curls.

“Daniella?”

I didn’t answer, I couldn’t, my mouth wouldn’t move. I pushed my hair out of my face, and I leant against the wall, further until I was sitting on the floor, my knees at my chin.

“Is it true? What Ayleecia said?” Jeremy’s voice cracked, it was low and deep, and I think my insides moved ten feet. “Daniella? I have to know.”

I looked up at him, my body finally gave in to my brain. I stand up defiantly, looking into his eyes a sea of green. Lost in a trance but then I look away. I let a long piece of fringe cover my eyes. God knows, I’m terrified.

Jeremy pushed my hair behind my ear, and I took a step back to find the wall right behind me. I could feel his breath nip my nose, as he got closer. “Dani, please tell me.”

I blinked and took a massive internal breath. “Why?” I could feel my pupils dilated.

He chuckled, a deep chuckle that made my stomach drop, and do fifty back flips… that laugh that could make a whole flower field bloom. It was one, that was the picture perfect moment. A sunrise…

“You want to know why Daniella? I’ll tell you, and I’m not going to beat around the bush about it.” He inhaled and exhaled quickly, “You know, when we first met? How I didn’t act interested in you? Well I was stuck up, because I’m eighteen, I didn’t want to get married, I had barely had a long term relationship, I had never felt the right way about a girl before. I figured, you would be the same, that you would be just a girl, one who wouldn’t be the right one for me. But when we had that fight in the ring, your feistiness, I noticed the fire in your eyes. When I saw your passion for your job, I saw you with your brother. When I began to see the real you, even in the last twenty four hours, do you know how hard I’ve been falling? Faster and faster as time goes by that I am with you? I have seen many things in my lifetime, and I have felt many emotions, ones of compassion, ones of fear, ones of happiness, but when I’ve been with you, even if we haven’t known each other for long, I get this feeling in the pit of my stomach, my heart races. When I kissed you earlier, did you know how many things my brain went through? I may be young but I can tell you one thing, is that I have never… ever felt that kind of emotion evoked from a kiss. So it’s obvious that you have some magic voodoo over me.” He took a step closer, I was now completely pinned between him and the wall. “So you want to know why I want to know the truth? It is because I may die on the inside if I don’t find out soon. And go completely insane, from working by your side. So please answer me this; do you feel the same?”

“I-I-I…” I looked into his eyes, I couldn’t keep avoiding it, can I?

I mean, do I want this? I like him, but am I so sure I can admit it?

“There is a zap in my fingers, there is sunshine in the pit of my stomach, when I see you smile, I see new life.” He whispered.

“I… I do.”

He picked me up, spinning me around. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I melted into him. He put me down, as I felt the tips of my toes hit the ground. I stared into that sea of green I love so much. Our faces inched closer; I felt his lips touch mine. Closing my eyes, as our lips touched I felt sparks, it was Christmas day with everyone, it was fifty million fireworks at once...
