Case Closed

Kiss and Tell (11)

Peony's P.O.V

We're both sweating and breathing heavily but it felt right. This felt like us, it felt like John and Peony. In this moment we were free to be ourselves, no one's watching and their are no cameras. I guess in a way that's what I wanted.

We both leaned and when his lips pressed against mine my heart skipped a beat. His left hand stayed on my cheek pulling me closer, and the other wrapped around my waist. My hands rested on his chest.

His lips were soft gentle. The kiss was passionate and unforgettable. Not really how I envisioned this moment, but it's so much more perfect, and real.
When we pulled away we were both breathing heavily. He took my hand in his and we went back into the house.

"I'm gonna, uhh, shower."

I took off my shoes and started towards the stairs.

"Wait."

John pulled me back, pecking my lips.

"Okay."

I went upstairs and into the shower. I washed my hair and braided it into one braid. I got out of the shower and grabbed a towel. I left the batheroom and went straight to the closet.

I took out a pair of blue and white shorts from the closet, a black tank top, and a blue sweater that had a smiling ice cream come on the front.

I went downstairs to eat breakfast and tell John I was finished in the batheroom. John had already prepared waffles and eggs, He was sitting in one of the highchairs by the kitchen counter.

"I'm done."

"Okay, I'll head up once I'm done here."

"Thanks for breakfast."

"No problem."

"Do you mind if I add fruit, and do you want any."

"Nah but you go a head."

I made a small fruit salad with strawberries, watermelon, and kiwi. I put it in a seperate bowl and sat down. I grabbed a plate and set a waffle and some eggs on it. Butter and syrup were already set up along with black and white pepper for the eggs.

I sat down next to John and started eating.

"So we'll talk when I get out of the shower, yeah?"

"Yes."

John went upstairs and finished eating. There was a change in the mood when we were around each other. The kiss made things a little awkward, at least for me. Maybe I shouldn't have kissed him? No stop it, that's not going to solve anything we already kissed, and it was perfect.

I finished eating and washed the dishes and put away the extra waffles and eggs. Something about eating breakfast for dinner makes it taste even better. I grabbed my laptop off the coffee table and sat on the couch. I turned on the TV, a show called the Originals came on.

I was sending an email to headquarters when John came down. He sat right beside me and pushed down the screen of my laptop.

"What happened last night?"

"It was a nightmare, but we don't have to talk-"

"Stop, you can talk to me."

He took my hand in his and squeezed gently. I took a deep breath and started to explain. Saying everything in one breath, made it easier.

"Something about me almost killing Patrick because my powers are out of control. Then my parents were talking about erasing my memories, my mom she disagreed, which leads me to believe that I must've done something to push her over the edge... What if I killed someone?"
