Totally Jinxxed (book 1 of 3)

This love will set you free from thoughts of yesterday

"hello?" he answers calmly.

his voice was a bit familiar but I couldn't figure out from where.

"Is this Jeremy?" I asked nervously

"in the flesh." I sensed a smile in his soft voice.

"who is this?" he asked in a playful tone.

"um...saphire."

he chuckled. "I thought you'd never call."

"what? I don't even know you."

"you'd be surprised."

"uh..."

the conversation fell silent.

"so, how are you?"he asks.

"I..uh..I'm good..great actually."

I hoped he didn't notice I was lying because im in the worst possible moods I've ever been in, in my entire life.

I can't tell things like that to a complete stranger.

he sighed and hung up the phone.

"what the fuck?!" I gently throw my phone on the bed.

who hell does this guy think he is?!...

*20 minutes later*

the doorbell rang unexpectedly.

i jumped, startled by the sound.

"what the hell?" I say aloud.

I went to open the door.

and to my surprise it was jinxx,holding a bag of snacks and a movie.

he smiled "I hope you like bloody action movies." he walks in.

"um..." was all I could say.

"what?...do I have something on my face?" he crossed his eyes in the funniest way.

I chuckled.

"no..its..just...I didn't expect you to come over."

staying silent,he turned on the dvd player and placed the movie in the disk tray.

then turned on the tv and the main menu showed on the screen.

"..jinxx..why are you here?"

he took a long deep breath.

"I'm here because of you, saphire." he grins.

my lips formed a straight line."me? why?"

he smirked as if he knew me better than anyone else.

"because, I had a feeling that you needed someone...I don't really know actually but I do know you were lying." he frowned.

"how?" I crossed my arms over my chest.

he came closer to me, and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him.

"no one would ever stay in an awkward conversation like that, with a complete stranger,unless they desperately needed someone to talk to." he smirked.

in a way he was right. but I wasn't desperate. despite how my day went

I realized how close we were, in that moment. I was able to hear his heart pounding in his chest, and able to feel how steady he tried to keep his breathing.

I didn't notice till a second after, my heart started to race too.

I havent been this close to a guy since last summer-a couple weeks before school started.- with brandon.

I was abit speeches.

jinxx chuckled and grabbed the back of my legs with one arm, and kept the other behind my back. he lifted me up without breaking a single sweat.he then sat down and placed me on his lap, and played the movie.

"what is this movie, anyways?" I asked.

he smiled. "repo-men."

I was about to speak again but jinxx put a finger over my lips to stop me.

the movie began, explaining the jobs of these 'repo-men'. it was pretty simple actually. just rip out the mechanical organs of the patients who would not or could not be able to pay for it. most of them were old washed out celebrities, broke drug addicts and just ordinary poor old people.jinxx and I laughed at the reactions of some of them, although we shouldn't have.

the moment felt soo natural and serene, despite the movie that played in front of us.Brandon and I hardly ever had moments like this. maybe once in a blue moon, is what it seems like now. I don't think I want it to end.

towards the middle of the movie, one of the repo-men had to tear out the heart of a poor woman.without any hesitation he cut her open and ripped the heart out...

in a way I related to that moment. the same way brandon unhesitatingly ripped out the heart from my chest and basically stomped all over it, in front of me.as if I meant absolutely nothing to him.

tears started to roll down my cheek as i looked away from the movie.

in that moment jinxx grabs me from around my waist and legs and pulls me closer to his chest.then he grabbed the ends of his shirt to wipe the tears from my eyes.

"its ok." he whispers.

I smiled as my heart began to race again.

*at the end of the movie*

jinxx threw away all the empty bags of chips and snacks we ate throughout the movie.

"well..that..was interesting." he says.

"yeah.I think so" I chuckled

"you don't have a weak stomach don't you?" his blue eyes brightened as he smiled and once again came close to me.

"I was just wondering..shouldn't you be in school right now?" he said in a serious tone.

I looked at the clock on my phone and it was almost 2:30 pm.

"yeah.but I couldn't stand being there anymore soo..I left."

he shook his head in disappointment.

"why? what's so bad about being there, that you have to leave?"

as I thought about it again, tears formed in my eyes.

he said nothing and just hugged me.

he held me in his arms until I was ready to let go.but I wasn't yet.

for a moment, I felt like I could stay that way forever, like no-one else mattered, except for me and him.

sadly another feeling I almost never had with brandon.

"do you want to tell me?" he whispered softly in in my ear.

I shook my head against his chest.

he let me go and carried me in his arms.

"you'll tell me when you're ready." a small grin forms on the corners of his mouth.

"maybe." I muttered under my breath.

he chuckled but said nothing as he carried me off to my room.

he laid me down in the middle of the bed then laid down right next to me.

my heart raced again as he stared at me.

what is he doing? I shouldn't be doing this, with someone like him!

he shouldn't even be here.more importantly I shouldn't even feel this way!

crap. am I falling in love with him?!

we just met.I barely know him..and yet..I'm starting to feel for him?!

I knew saving savanah would kill me, but this? this would utterly obliterate any chances I have of getting back everything I used to have at school.

I have to end this before anything else happens...before I completely lose my mind.and before anyone else gets hurt.more specifically me...
