I was SO excited for Mason's party. Not because it was our birthday party, but because Jayden might be coming. He is amazing and his dreamy green eyes are so beautiful, I could stare into them all day. I just wish he would talk to me more instead of being so distant.
*Ding dong
The doorbell rang, interrupting my daydreaming. I ran to the door, almost slipping on my sock feet. I had only slightly opened the door, when Kat came busting in.
"Ok so here's what I was thinking, since you and Mason are both vegetarians we can make a fruit salad or just a regular salad and then Jayden is bringing the cake so don't worry about that."
"Ok good"
"Do you have a fruit picker?"
"Yup. But I only have one"
*Ding dong
Kat opened the door. Jayden came inside. I loved the cake he had.
It said, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!"
I just stared at him with my mouth hanging slightly open. Kat had silently disappeared then, came back with the fruit picker.
"Ready to pick the fruit?"
Kat, Jayden and I walked out to the orchid together. When we got there Kat immediately started picking fruits and putting them in the bucket. Her bucket soon got full while, Jayden and I's buckets only had a few fruit that we found on the ground
"I'm going to go take care of the fruit. I'll be right back." Kat said.
Jayden and I looked at each other then at our pathetic buckets.
"I have an idea Naomi. If you climb onto my shoulders I can lift you up and you can pick the fruits."
"I'm almost sixteen! I am NOT going to climb on your shoulders!" I replied.
"Come on Naomi. Please? For Mason?"
I looked at him then sighed. I motioned for him to get down. Jayden kneeled down on one knee. I laughed to myself then grabbed his shoulders and hoisted myself up.
Jayden slowly stood up, careful not to make me fall. I picked fruit as fast as I could. Soon both of the buckets were full of a variety of fruits.
Jayden slowly bent down trying not to tip over. We got off balance. I tipped backward and we tumbled out of the orchid in a ball of limbs and flesh. When we stopped Jayden was on top of me staring into my eyes.
I stared back into his eyes.
He didn't move at all.Suddenly he kissed me. My eyes popped out of my head then I closed them and kissed him back. His lips were warm and course. When he pulled back I felt numb.
Jayden awkwardly looked at me then got off me. He ran to the orchid. I followed him. We both picked up our buckets then ran back to the house.
Kat was already in kitchen. She was almost done with her fruit when we came in.
She looked at us then smiled. Kat left the kitchen. The fruit bowl was about a third of the way full. I didn't do anything. I just took care of the fruit. Jayden elbowed me in the stomach.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"Are you angry at me?" He replied.
I looked away from him. Jayden had almost finished with his fruit, when he elbowed me again.
"WHAT!?!" I yelled.
Jayden looked at me,"So do you um... want to try that kiss again?" I didn't answer.
