Jake's POV★★★
★★★★★★★★★★★★

I don't know what I was thinking kissing Corinne like that.

Of course she's pretty, hell who am I kidding, she's gorgeous. The kiss, I don't regret it, not at all. Just looking at her right now sitting next to me on her phone, trying to ignore any eye contact with me. Her shyness and insecure demeanor she has about her at all times. I don't understand it one bit. Doesn't she know how perfect she is? She can't even see that, that is obvious.

Man, what is wrong with me? I can't stop thinking about that kiss. At least Riley's presence was good for something, giving me the perfect opportunity to kiss Corrinne.

★★★★★★★★★★★

I pulled up to Corinne's house, I looked over to her to speak, I suddenly realize she has no idea we are even parked.

I know I should tell her that she's home, I can't help myself, I want any excuse to keep her with me as long as possible.

She looks up out of nowhere with a confused look on her face. "Why have we stopped?" I look at her without much thought to her realization. "You're home Cor." She started stammering her words. " I- I knew that." She states, embarrassment evident by the sudden color to her cheeks.

I couldn't help myself to chuckle at her. She was so adorable when she was embarrassed. "I'm sorry I don't mean to laugh at you, you just seemed consumed by your thoughts, I didn't want to interrupt." She gave me a weak smile.

I could tell she was fealing a bit uncomfortable around me. "Listen, about what happened back at the school, I shouldn't have kissed you like that. I know it was out of nowhere. Riley has that kind of effect on me sometimes." I lied.

In all honesty, Rylee didn't have much of any affect on me anymore. She cheated on me multiple times. It hurt a little, I suppose. But I never had strong feelings for her. I simply started dating her because she was in the same circle as me, nothing more nothing less. I used to care for her as a friend, but now, I don't even know about all of that.

" It's fine." I heard Corinne say, taking me out of my reverie. " I've just never had anyone do anything like that to me before, it surprised me."

I could feel my forehead scrunch up in realization of what she saying to me. " So you've never been kissed before?" I say without much hesitation.

Suddenly she had a deer in headlights expression appear on her soft features.

"Y- ya" she says stuttering. I couldn't believe what I was hearing right now. A girl as beautiful as this one here has never before been kissed, not even once!

I could feel an involuntary smirk forming on my lips. I find myself smirking at Corinne, she's looking at me horrified. "You probably think I'm a freak because I'm a senior in high school and never been kissed." She looked down at her hands fidgeting.

"No, I think it's cute, besides, you've been kissed now." I leaned close to her teasingly. I could feel her tense up as my face passed hers. I put my cheek to hers, my lips mere inches from her ear. " I like kissing you, we should do it more often." I say trying to tease her.
