Kissing Practice

Chapter Four

The new week rolled by quickly. I can't believe it was Friday again. Just a week today, Jon was telling me about his date with Kendall and yes I had been helping him with kissing lessons as we agreed.

As I walked over to Jon's house again. I was beginning to feel this sadness.
Same time tomorrow, he probably would be done with his date with Kendall.
I rang his door bell twice and as usual, his mother answered the door. I greeted her politely and walked upstairs to his room. I wasn't in the mood for a glass of juice.

I knocked and he opened.
He was wearing brown trousers and a white V-neck body hugging top. His brown hair was combed neatly. He looked simply adorable. And he will be simply adorable on his date tomorrow.

"Hey! I said".
He smiled at me and walked over to meet me. He pulled me closer to him with his right hand and used his other hand to trace the outline of my face. I looked into his brown eyes. He had that look... I couldn't describe. I was never one to tell what people felt from their eyes. But this was the first time I was actually looking and his eyes so close.

He cupped my face and pulled me even closer to him as his lips met mine.
I felt my hand go round his shoulders as I savoured the kiss.

When I came here on Wednesday, after our kissing session, I told him that he was good to go and didn't need any more help. So why were we kissing now?

I know this kiss wasn't for me. It was for Kendall. It was all for Kendall. I was only his practice buddy. The feeling made me sick. Why did I even suggest this to him in the first place. It was a nice idea at that time.

I pulled away and went to sit. "Kendall is gonna have the kiss of her life tomorrow" I said with a small smile.

"Yeah...maybe. But that wasn't for her. That was for you."

For me??

No way!
I was not even going to allow myself think about the meaning of what he just said.
So I brought out my books from my backpack. "Since I won't be here tomorrow and-

"Why will you not be here tomorrow" he asked.
Duh??
"Your date with Kendall??" I asked other than stated.
And all he said in reply was "Oh".
Did he seriously forget or is he trying to act aloof?.
Why am I even thinking about this? I should not care. I don't care.

"So anyway, I wanted us to go over the algebra assignment today".
"Yeah. Sure. I have already started it". He said.
He walked over to his study table and I did the same. As I was about to sit, he held my arm and bent down to kiss me. I closed my eyes as my hands spread on his shirt. Was it to push him away or to steady myself. I had no idea.

Kendall.

I pulled away and sat. No more distractions.
He looked at me for a long time before he took his sit next to me.

I hardly understood anything he said. As soon as he was done with the assignment, I told him thanks and left.
I went over to Paige's house.

"Ava, so good to see you. I wanted to call but I was certain you were studying with Jon. What about that? Why aren't you there?" She mentioned as I stepped into her house.

I sat on the chair.
"What's bothering you? You can tell me anything. Did Jon do something to you?".

I might as well just tell her now. And that was what I did. I told her the full story.

"Woah" she said by the time I was done. "You must be feeling really bad now." She came closer to me and put her arm round my shoulders.
"If he doesn't come to see what an amazing girl he is taking for granted. Then he is a dick head".
Even through the sadness I was feeling, I couldn't help but smile.
"I should never have suggested us kissing-

" Shh". She put her index finger on my lips. "Don't worry, all will be well".

I looked at her with that look of 'seriously'.
She slapped my hand lightly. " What? Its something my godmother tells me whenever I am bothered about something".
I rolled my eyes at her.
"Come on, let's watch some chick flick." She stood up and put on the television.
