The ride to my place was mostly in an awkward silence. I could feel Jake's eyes glance over at me every few seconds, I just pretended like I was interested in something on my phone. This was so confusing, I know Jake only wanted to keep up the appearance of a couple. Why did he practically make out with in front of Rylee? Was he trying to make her jealous? Wait, am I getting jealous over my fake boyfriend?I really need to get a grip! Jake is just using me to get to his next step in life. Then I will be long forgotten. Still, the way he kissed me, it seemed as though he enjoyed it. Heck, what would I know about someone else enjoying a kiss, it was my first real one.
I was so lost in my thoughts I hadn't yet to realize that the car had come to a stop. I looked up from my phone at Jake. " Why have you stopped the car?" He looked at me as if I was dense. "We are in front of your house Cor." He simply stated. My cheeks blushed from embarrassment. " Uh, right, i- I knew that." I stammered
He started laughing at me. I looked at him embarrassed. "I'm sorry I don't mean to laugh at you. I just didn't want to interrupt your thoughts, you seemed very fixated in whatever you were thinking of. I should have told you that we are at your place." I smiled not knowing what to say after that.
Jake looked serious all of a sudden. " Hey, look, about what happened back there at school." He stopped talking looking a bit flustered. " I shouldn't have just kissed you like that, I wasn't thinking straight. Rylee seems to be able to have that effect on me sometimes.
I stopped him. "It's fine really, I was just a little shocked. No one has ever really done anything like that to me before."
Jake looked taken aback then he reaches his hand over the head rest of my seat. "So you're saying that noone has ever kissed you before?" He eyed me suspiciously. I started to freak a bit. Searching for words. Dang it! Did I actually just admit to The Jake Lavoi that I've never been kissed?
I tried to find a way to back out of what I had just confessed. I couldn't seem to think of anything believable.
"Y y- ya" I heard my self say lightly. What is wrong with me. It's like I can't lie to this boy! " You must think I'm a freak, being a senior in high school and never been kissed." He looked at me for a moment and gave me an ungodly smirk. " I think it's adorable, besides you've been kissed now." His face becoming closer and closer to mine with each word he said. My face froze, I couldn't move or talk, heck I didn't even know if I was still breathing.
He leaned past my face, rested his lips under my ear. " I like kissing you, maybe we should do that more often." He then raised his head up and made eye contact with me while giving me a perfect teeth smile.
Before he could do or say anything else I reached around me looking for the door handle. I opened the door and ran to my front door as if I was being chased by Jason Vorhees. And I didn't look back until I ran into my house, up the stairs and reached my bedroom.
★★★★★★★★★★
I layed down on my bed staring up at the ceiling. I felt myself thinking about the events that led me to now. The kiss, it had been perfect, everything and more I could dream of my first kiss to be like. With by far the most perfect partner.
I sighed to myself, " I'm being ridiculous." I say out loud to myself. Great now I'm completely losing it. I say to myself. I hear my phone vibrate next to me.
Hey Cor it's Heather, I'm coming over now!
Just great, this is all I need right now. I think as I cover my head with my pillow. Hoping for death to come and put me out of my misery.
★★★★★★★★★★
Heather barged in my bedroom door. "Tell me everything!" She squealed. "What are you talking about?" I asked, trying to avoid the topic. Heather squinted her eyes at me in disbelief. " You know very well what I'm talking about Corinne Little." She replied coldly. What's up with you hanging around with Jake all of a sudden? Just a few days ago you couldn't even hardly look at him without panic, the next thing I know I see you hugging him at school." I sighed in defeat. "Okay, I'll tell you, so at the party Jake and I ran into each other. He asked me to meet him in his room.....
After thirty minutes of explaining every thing in full detail to her she looked at me in disbelief. " So let me get this straight. He wants you to be his pretend girlfriend so his parents will pay for college?" I shook my head yes. " and you agreed to doing so because you have a ginormous crush on him and you just want to be something, anything to him, correct?" I shake my head in agreement once again. "And he kissed you after school to make his ex jealous!!!!!!!" She was in shock. She composed herself slightly. "So are you really okay with all of this Cor? I mean you're going to be crushed when he's done with his Little project." She looked at me with a smirk. "No pun intended of course."
" I think I'll be fine, I mean I know why he's doing this, he told me straight up that he needs me for his parents sake. I know what I'm getting myself into. I'll be fine." I said as if trying to convince myself.
★★★★★★★★★★
After Heather left I decided to jump in the shower to get this caked on makeup off of my face.
I get out of the shower to put on my tight fitting white tank top and yoga pants
on. I brushed through my hair with my fingers.I looked in my mirror. Finally I can recognize myself again. No bra= heaven!
Suddenly I hear a knock on my bedroom door. Hmmm, Heather must have forgotten her phone here again or something. I open my door without thinking twice, "Heather" I stop dead in my tracks at the sight I'm beholding. " You're not Heather." I choked out. He smiled at me looking me up and down from head to toe.
" Nope, last time I checked, I'm a guy." He said confidently, not taking his eyes from examining my appearance. His eyes stopped at my chest.
I covered my chest with my arms folded over as soon as I realized what he had been staring at. I felt like my face was on fire.
He looked away a bit red in the face himself. He must have realized that I had caught him staring at my practically bare chest through this almost transparent tank I have on.
"So, I - I" he stammered. Was he actually embarrassed. I had never thought someone like him would be embarrassed so easily. I smiled at the thought of it. " I just came by to drop off your purse you left in my car today." He finally spat out.
"Oh, I hadn't realized I had even left it yet. Thank you." I smiled sincerely. He smiled back at me." So there's another reason I stopped by. I didn't get a chance to ask you as I dropped you off today, you seemed like you were in a bit of a hurry there at the end." He smirked.
I shifted my weight back and forth from my left and right feet. " so anyway, my parents want to meet you." He looked at me for a reaction.
"So is that okay with you?" He continued when I didn't say anything to his previous statement.I turn around and open my closet door to pull out my blue Jean jacket to hide the front of my tank. " I guess that would be fine." I say shyly. He gave me a nod. "Great so this Friday night I'll pick you up around 5:30, and tomorrow morning as well for school of course." He said without hesitation.
" Great." I responded flatly. He turned around to walk out the door, he suddenly stopped and turned back to me. "You look hot." He grinned cunningly. At that he disappeared behind my door.
