I'm Not Going Anywhere

Chapter 6: Pt.2

So Jay and I had decided to go to the Santa Monica pier. It's been so nice to spend some time with him and just to know he's near me is great, but I need to remember what Jenny said and not get attached. Him and I went on a couple of different rides and ate the randomest food. The funnel cake was the best though. Afterwards him and I leaned over the fence and just looked at the beach. This day was the best. "Is there anything else you want to do? It's barely 6." I shrugged my shoulders, "Want to go walk on the beach?" He nodded. He grabbed my hand and we took off.

"Jay! It's too cold!"

He had picked me up and tried to throw me in the water. "Babe please!" I kept screaming and he kept laughing. "Come on just one dip you'll be fine." "It's too cold." "Alright alright." He finally put me down. I hit his stomach hard. "Ow. The hell?" "I told you don't do it. See what happens when you don't listen." He rolled his eyes. "Whatever Princess." I stuck my tongue out and walked up and away from the water. Knowing him he's going to try to do it again. I found a spot that was a good distance away from the water. He was still over there staring out at the water. This the best view of him right now. I took my phone quickly and took a picture of him. It's perfect. "You tired?" I jumped. I didn't even see him come up.

"No I'm good. You?" "Nah I'm fine." He sat down next to me and leaned back on his hands. He put one arm around me and cuddled next to me. I felt his breath on my neck. I leaned my forehead on his, this the best. "Thank you." he whispers. "For?" "Being you and making me smile. You're the escape I need." I smiled. He's making this really hard. "Kaila I want to ask you something." He sat up and wrapped his arms around his legs. I cocked my head to the side, "What is it?" It took him a second but after a deep breath he said it. "Will you be my girlfriend?" Fucking shit. No. Why'd he do this to me? He's so perfect but he's going back to Korea. "Why me?" His head snapped to me, "Huh?" I cleared my throat. "Out of every girl you met, why me? I'm too young. I have dark skin. I'm loud. I-"

"You're an idiot."

I looked at him and he looked at me.

"Kaila you're the most beautiful being in the damn world. You're funny. You're smart and I don't care about your age. Your skin color is what I prefer and I'd rather have you loud than quiet. You're fucking perfect. You don't judge and you like me for me. I can't trust too many people these days and believe me I knew I shouldn't have given you my trust so quickly but something in me told me you were safe. And I do feel safe with you. And I want you to feel the same with me. Kaila I know it's been a short amount of time....but I really like you."

Jay's POV

I can't believe I just said all that. But I think it needed to be said for the both of us. What I said was true. I shouldn't have trusted her so quickly but I can't help it. She just gives you this sense of happiness the minute you see her. I looked at her, she's just staring at the sand, deep in thought. I leaned in next to her, "What do you say Princess?" and the next thing that happened, made me rethink about my whole life. She looked up at me and just....kissed me.

Kaila's POV

I kissed him. I don't know why or how but I'm glad I did it. He didn't move for a few seconds but then suddenly started to. I honestly never had kissed anyone but it doesn't seem that hard to do. His lips are so soft. After what seems like a lifetime he pulled away. He leaned his forehead on mine and I couldn't help but smile.

"So does this mean 'yes'?"

I nodded.

"Good."

He kissed me again.

The car ride home wasn't an awkward quiet but a...giddy quiet? I don't know but I didn't feel awkward. We held hands the whole way and glancing at each other every once in a while. "You had fun today?" I quickly whipped my head towards him. I nodded, "Yeah. You?" He nodded too, "Yeah." Urrggghhh! Jenny is going to either kill me or celebrate with me. Oh well if I get my heart broken I get it broken and that shows this wasn't meant to be.
