Stuck In Time

Chapter 16

*Sorry this took sooooo long!! I wanted to make it good! Well, on to the story! Hope you like it! Vote, comment, you know what to do!!

“WELL?!” Joey urged. “Ya scared?” 

“It’s not like you’ve ever kissed anyone! Give us some time, you don’t know how it’s done.” Jeremy snapped, obviously embarrassed. 

“I know how it’s done. I kissed Katie and Miranda last month!”

“Whoa what?!” I’ve never even kissed two people in one month. 

“Were they twins?” Jeremy asked wiggling his eyebrow. 

“Jeremy!” I cried. “What the heck?!”

“What? Twins are hot.”

“7 year old twins?”

“You know it babe.” 

“Ew!” Joey interrupted. “They were not. I know better than to kiss a sister.” 

“Whoa Jason, my man.” Jeremy said, impressed. “Damn fast learner. I learned the hard way.” 

“Ugh Jeremy!” I yelled out,  stomping my foot, a little jealous. “That’s so inappropriate!”

“Yeah, for you angel.” Joey said seductively. 

Jeremy’s eyes went wide. “Hey, no flirting with her! That’s my job.”

“Okay enough! I’m done!” Getting up from my pretzel-style position, I started walking towards the swings. I could swing higher and higher and hide my embarrassment, every push of my legs making me calm. 

Why couldn’t he just kiss me already?!

“Hey wait!” 

I smiled broadly, glad my act worked. I slowly turned on my heels to meet my idiot. The boy ran up to me and stopped, his hair resting messily on his head, his green orbs absorbing mine. My body instantly became weak; what was he doing to me? My breath was taken away, I was so surprised.  He looked like a model, right out off a cover, or an angel, a real, beautiful angel.  His breathing was hitched, and his chest heaved up and down, creating the sexiest look I have ever seen. Oh God, help me.

“Yes?” I tried saying, unfortunately coming out as a hoarse whisper. Now I can’t talk? 

Jeremy shook his head slightly, his emeralds looking down. “Don’t you want to kiss me?”

I let out a tiny gasp; it was so crazy to hear it from his own, amazing attractive mouth. I gathered my courage and spoke up. “I-”

“Yeah?” 

“Well-”

“But-”

“I have-”

“I’ve-”

We both stopped, waiting for the other to speak. “Sorry.” We both mumbled. 

I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, not meeting his eyes. 

“Y-Yeah. I’ve wanted to... for a long time.”

His head shot up, and I could see the excitement in his eyes. “Really?” 

“Really.” I whispered, surprised by my confidence. 

“Then let’s go.” He responded quietly, taking my hand and dragging me back to the tree where Joey was waiting impatiently. I closed my eyes. This was it. 

“Finally!” Joey screamed and plopped down in the grass. “I waited forever!”

“30 seconds is forever?” I asked.
