Too Good to be True

3: The Movie

                 

May's POV

*Flashback*

I'm going to kill that boy. I've chased him into the kitchen, there's only one way in and out- I've got this. He runs around to the opposite side of the island in the middle of the kitchen. I've trapped him, and soon he'll get what's coming to him.

He tries to make a run for it- my only option is to run at him and try to trap him in a corner. Of course I'm assuming that once I start running for him, he'll stop. However, that is not what happens.

We run at each other and the next thing I know I'm thrown to the floor and Jordan's on top of me. This would be the time that I make an innuendo, but I feel like this is not the time. Which is weird because I always feel like its time for a good old innuendo.

We stay in this position for what feels like an eternity, just me staring into his eyes. Why am I doing this? Why do I have butterflies in my stomach? But most of all, why haven't either of us moved?

But he is moving. He's moving towards me, I think he's going to kiss me. Just when I realize this, as if confirming my thought, he licks his lips. They look so soft and inviting. Just another inch and our lips would touch- our breaths are already mixing. I want him to kiss me so badly.... among other things. Truth be told, I've actually had a miniature thing for Jordan recently. I've always wondered what his lips felt like, if he was a good kisser and what his lips tasted like.

His eyes lift from my lips for a second to my eyes, as if asking permission. Just as I'm about to nod my head yes, Liam coughs.

*End flashback*

That's what I told them happened. Well actually, I left out the part of him asking my permission, and the fact that I wanted him to kiss me so incredibly bad.

"Oh, well I guess it's not that bad," Says Mads, "but why on earth didn't you move??"

Looks like its time to lie through my teeth.

"Well, I think that when we fell, Jord hurt his ankle or leg or something. So when he tried to move he couldn't, and I couldn't get up because he was on top of me."

"Okay, I guess that's easier to believe the alternative" Mads replies.

Liam suddenly says, "The alternative being that you two were about to get busy in the kitchen"

"Liam! As if I would- Jord and me? Please." God did he have to say that, I hope I'm not blushing.

"Can we go downstairs now? I want to start movie night!" Mads says, practically dragging us downstairs. I wonder how awkward it'll be to see Jord after what just happened. Oh God, I hope he didn't tell Anna and Jesse what actually happened. I don't think even Jordan could be that tactless.

Turns out seeing Jordan won't be a problem- when we get downstairs; Jordan is nowhere to be seen.

Jordan's POV

*A little while ago, downstairs*

"Why are you two giving me the third degree?!" I ask.

"Because I saw you practically making out with my best friend, excuse me if I'm not totally calm right now Jordan!" Shouts Anna.

I can't even focus on what her and Jesse are saying right now. How could I after what just happened. I wasn't thinking clearly. The only thing I knew was that I had to kiss her. Nothing else mattered- in fact, I was aware that Anna, Jesse, Mads and Liam were watching. Luckily though, May hadn't caught on. I didn't want to stop. That was the first time I had thought of May as anything more than a friend. In the moment, it just felt right, and I wanted to do a lot more than kiss her. Damn, did she have to be so freaking beautiful, I may have had some ounce of self-control if she wasn't.

Jesse suddenly interrupts my thoughts by clicking in my face, "Dude are you even listening right now? You messed up, what do you even think could happen with you guys- it's MAY for God sakes, you'll destroy her!"

Anna starts shouting next, "Pull yourself together! What were you thinking; you'll just end up breaking her heart you douche!"

Okay, now I'm pissed. I start yelling at them,

"I know it's May, I'm not freaking blind! She's not some china doll either- I don't even like her like that! Heck, I wouldn't even screw the girl! Whatever, I'm out of here!"

I can't think anymore. I don't want to feel either. I raid Mads' parent's liquor cabinet, grab a bottle of whiskey and walk out of the house. I slam the door behind me. I walk off in the direction of the park; I can sit on the bench there and drown my sorrows. I hate that they think they can tell me what to do, what gives them the right? I was lying, of course. I would definitely screw that girl. Actually if we hadn't been interrupted, I'm pretty sure it would've happened there and then. Assuming she would've let me obviously. She probably wouldn't, I'm just her best friends brother- no one special. She never even gave me permission to kiss her for crying out loud. I'm no one special to her, no one special at all.

This is what I think when I lift the bottle, and take my first sip.

May's POV

*Currently*

All I know (or rather, all that Anna and Jesse told us) is that Jordan got mad when they asked him what happened. Turns out, he didn't really tell them anything, so to ease their minds I tell them what I told Mads and Liam.

Once everything has been cleared up and I make sure that they all believe what I told them, we begin movie night. We're watching supernatural movies tonight, starting with Underworld –although I'm not sure which one, I always get them mixed up.

On the couch sit Jesse, Anna and Liam in that order. Mads and me have the other one to ourselves. Right now, we're in the kitchen making (that's right, you guessed it) tea. If we didn't constantly drink tea, would we even be British?

I tell Mads to go and sit down to watch the movie and that I'll finish making the tea.

I'm currently really glad I'm in the kitchen, as a sex scene has just come on. I observe their reactions from the kitchen. Their reactions completely fit with their personalities; it's actually quite funny. Mads is coming towards the kitchen to get out of the lounge, and away from the television. Then there's Jesse, who is awkwardly and desperately trying to cover his baby sister's ears and eyes at the same time, while Anna is trying to bat him away. Liam is just sitting there, giggling to himself. Why are these people my friends? It's just been this way forever I guess. No going back now- this is my family, no matter how deranged they are.

No matter what I do, I can't stop thinking about the almost-kiss. This is probably the most conflicted I've ever been. On the one hand, I have this little crush. It makes me disappointed that we didn't kiss. So very disappointed.

But then on the other hand, I'm grateful that Liam coughed to interrupt us, stopping me from giving Jordan permission to kiss me. I'm afraid that if we started kissing, I'd never ever want to stop. Not only that, but he's by best friend's brother- and I refuse to be that much of a cliché. It's just, whenever I'm around him, my self-control completely drains out of me and all I want is to touch him, admire him, kiss him and simply be with him.

I need to get over this. I also need to talk to him, and ask him if we can keep what really happened a secret from the group. But how do I get him alone without anyone being suspicious? Looks like it's time for another one of May's epic plans.

1:Get him alone

2:Get him to agree to keep it a secret

3:Make sure no one suspects anything

Right, it seems I have my work cut out for me. Just as I go to sit down to watch the movie with a mug of tea in each hand, the door swings open so violently that it slams against the wall, making us all jump and I drop the mugs of tea.

"What the..." I mumble.

There's Jordan, standing in the doorway. What the hell is he doing? He's drunk- I can tell that much from his face but the rest remains a mystery. He suddenly shouts at Anna and Jesse,

"I won't let you two tell me what to do anymore, you and your demands can go screw yourselves!"

Jordan strides up to me, grabs my face in his hands and leans down to kiss me. In front of everyone. And the worst part? I don't even have enough self-control to tell him to stop.
