The Sneak Out

Don't stay out late at night kids!

14. The Sneak Out
____________________________

Having my brother around isn't as bad as I thought it would be. You see, with him around, he would always spoil me.
He has a lot of money right now and every time we would go out shopping he ends up buying me anything I want.
Pretty useful if I do say so myself.

Maybe that's why Clara has been hanging out with us more lately, just so Calvin could buy her something.
Oh!
But let's not forget the most important person to invite!

Ding ding ding!
It's Jace.

Not only would Calvin buy me whatever I want, but we happen to be at Victoria's Secret right now, searching for panties.
Clara obviously is excited for Calvin to buy her something here, but as for I, I just want to get the hell out of this place.

I feel a hand slightly touch mine, but then holds it. I look up at Jace, who smiles at me slyly.
"Aren't you gonna look for some cute underwear?"
I look down and squeeze his hand, "n-no! I don't want to search for underwear while you guys are here....."

Jace chuckles at me and pulls me to the other side of the store. It was a little bit more deserted here than the other side, but HAVE and I were alone.
He grabs a sweater from a nearby rack and holds it up in front of me.
"How about this? This looks nice."

He continues to grab random clothes from the rack and puts it in front of me.
"If you want something, just tell me. I'll do or buy whatever you want, Charlotte."

"I don't want anything.....I just don't want to be here anymore.."

Jace stops grabbing random clothes from the rack and looks at me. I see a small smile appear on his face as he leans in close to me, "So are you saying you want to sneak out?"

Sneak out?

That doesn't sound too bad, since I really want to leave this stupid place. But being alone with Jace is what I'm most concerned about.
I brush past him, "Fine," I say.

"But do anything weird and I'm leaving you."

Jace goes behind me and wraps his arms around me, my face starts to warm up as his chest is against my back because I could hear his quick heartbeats-----like mine.
"But it won't be fun if we don't do anything...."

I shove him off and start heading towards the exit, away from Calvin and Clara.
"C'mon, let's go leave now."

****

It was dark outside, but it was still pretty warm out. We hurried off to a nearby park where we would hide away from Calvin and Clara.
Jace held my hand throughout the time we were running there, and I felt nervous just being alone with him. Because the last time I was alone with him.......

......unexpected yet exciting things happened with him. I mean, would I want another make out session to happen with him?
Hell yeah!

But would I want to do it again without him returning the feelings I'm giving?
Definitely not.

Not having those feelings returned to you feels like complete sh!t.

I pull my green sweater closer to my face, hiding my embarrassed face. What am I supposed to do with him anyways? Anything could happen when I'm alone with Jace.

Jace finally turns around and faces and notices me hiding my face.
"Hey now...."
He leans in close to my face, his blue eyes shining in the light as I stare right back at him.
My eyes shift downward because I couldn't stare at his beautiful face any longer.
Jace softly pulls down my sweater and smiles,
"No need to hide that beautiful face of yours, Charlie."
