Of Scissors And Scooby Doo

Chapter 30

I watched the girl who was sitting across from me awkwardly lifting the spoon to her mouth, drops of milk splashing back into the bowl and dripping all over the table top. A frown appeared on Jade's face. Using her left hand instead of her right one obviously turned out to be a little trickier than she would have imagined. The cereal found its way into her mouth eventually, the spoon sinking back into the bowl to get ready to scoop up some more of the soggy breakfast. I was caught then, Jade stopping to chew as soon as she saw me watching her with my lips curled into a smile. "What?" she grumpily asked after she swallowed, her eyebrows digging down. I said nothing, instead felt my smile widen, and shook my head. Jade sent me a glare. "Eat your breakfast."

"I'd rather watch you eat yours," I said with a grin and propped my chin up in my open palm. Annoyed eyes rolled in their sockets and dropped back down to the bowl of cereal as their owner petulantly murmured something, I'd guess insulting, under her breath. "Sorry, what was that?"

"Shut up or I'll ram the spoon up your nose," was grumbled out but even if I would have taken her threat seriously, which I really didn't, the way Jade shoved another spoonful into her mouth, milk running down her chin in a straight line, the laugh was impossible to keep in.

"Man, I hate you."

I clicked my tongue. "I know you don't."

The spoon clanked down into the bowl, Jade pushing out a long breath and leaning back in her chair. "I'm good at a lot of things. Using my left hand to eat is not one of them. Yet. That doesn't give you any reason to grin at me like a stupid maniac."

A small pout graced her pale face, althoug Jade would never admit to pouting. "Aw," I slid onto the chair standing closer to Jade, my hands gently sliding over her thigh, "Do you want me to feed you?"

"I'm not a baby."

"But you're injured."

"You'll be injured if you won't shut up soon."

"Well, shut me up then."

I grinned brightly, exactly like the maniac she described me to be and shuffled forward on my chair, leaning in close to Jade. "I don't want to kiss you," she sulked but made no move whatsoever to get away from me, "I'm mad at you."

I chuckled, Jade huffing indignantly when I dared to nuzzle her nose with my own. "Why are you mad at me? I just want to help you so you won't starve."

"I don't need your help. I'd rather starve."

"That would make me very sad," I whispered, my eyes catching the slight flicker of Jade's lips.

"It would, wouldn't it?"

"Please shut me up now?"

She must have been really fed up by me at this point, because not even a second went by before she kissed me. I smiled in victory, sighed quietly and kissed her back.

"Oh my God, please."

Jade pulled away only an inch, exhaled against my mouth before getting back to kissing me. I felt her lips curl upwards as another one of Trina's annoyed groans sounded from behind us.

"Can't you go somewhere else?" There was a strong shove against my shoulder, causing me to squeak and break away from Jade immediately. With a frown on my face I noted that Trina was now standing right in front of us: arms crossed, lips pursed and her foot lazily tapping on the floor. Her mouth twisted as she let her arms fall and looked back and forth between me and Jade. "All this kissing is making me sick."

"You're just jealous 'cause no one wants to kiss you."

Trina snorted. "There are plenty of boys who would kill to kiss me," she proclaimed while leaning down to be on eye-level with Jade, "They would kill!"
