How Pizza Saved My Love Life

11."Wanna smooch?"

"So we're skipping the whole day now?" I ask Jordan from the passenger seat.

"I mean who needs school anyway?" He shrugs smirking. It's true though. I can live without knowing the cell division or the Pythagorean theorem.

"I guess you're right." I chuckle and shake my head.

"Of course I am." He looks over me and flashes me a cheeky grin. "So what's this band called again?" He points a finger at the stereo.

"The 1975. You like them?" I get so excited when someone likes my music taste. I don't get affected if they didn't like it, however because like if I like it then fuck everyone else right?

"They're pretty good I gotta be honest. What song is this?" He nods, eyes fixed on the road. He swings his head to the beat and just watching him made me smile.

"Robbers."

"So what do you wanna do next?" One thing I learnt about Jordan is that he is the most carefree person I have ever met. I have never ever thought I would be skipping school with this guy, going places and driving aimlessly around like we knew every corner of this town. I'm starting to think that I might even be having fun with him. I don't know.

"We can get some ice cream." I suggest childishly. He nods and makes a turn to McDonald's.

We make our order and we park in front of the drive way devouring the cones deliciousness.

"You know I love ice cream so much." He tells me randomly.

"I could tell." I smirk at his ice cream smeared chin.

"Why don't you eat it a little faster?" He looks at my only half-eaten ice cream. He was already eating the cone.

"I like to take my time, don't rush me ok?" I raise up a hand.

"I'm afraid I can't do that."

"What?" I say before he fucking pushes the cone into my face! Jordan smears the ice cream all over my face. I try to stop him but it's no use as he is stronger than me. He's laughing hysterically while my jaw is literally on the floor, eyes closed since there was ice cream in my fucking eye!

"That was amazing." He says after his laughter subsides and starts to eat his ice cream.

Ok.

Ok I know what to do about this.

"Hey Jay?" I start so calmly. "Wanna smooch?" I ask him before grabbing his head and rubbing my cheek on his entire face. He is yelling for me to stop but no mister, it ain't gonna happen.

"You fucking sly monster." He grabs a fist full of my hair and I scream laughing. He really thought he wasn't gonna pay for that. And I thought he couldn't get any dumber.

"You deserve it." He has my head fixed to his lap with both hands and I just lay there out of breath. Jay looks at me, a big grin on his face looking like a stupid gorilla until he lifts me face up a little and pecks my lips. It was quick almost like we were used to this. It didn't feel odd or nerve wrecking. It felt casual.

"What was that for?" I look up at him, still laying across his lap.

"Does it have to be for something?" Wow he's good.

"Yeah because I'm your 'girlfriend'. Right." I say giggling like a love struck puppy.

"Yeah." He shrugs and starts playing with my hair. No.

No don't do that.

Shit that's literally how you win my heart.

Stay strong Aubrey. He's tricking you.
