Chapter 18
All of a sudden it was like I could not get close enough to him, my hands slowly made themselves to his forearms which now made their way to right under my bottom and was lifting me up. Then my arms went right up to the back of his neck I felt like everything was coming so naturally and I did not have any control of what I was doing. I pulled away the moment I realized Izzie had been standing in the doorway. It was like time froze I stared at Cory in complete shock he was staring right back at me just as surprised as I was.
"Get a room you two"
"well we had one until you came in"
Cory said very cleverly I might add if I had the comprehension to say anything
"whatever, does this mean you two are DATING" she said with an annoying tone in her voice. I looked at Cory and he shrugged.
"so I'm taking that as a yes."
"I guess" I said with an unsure sound in my voice, which I hated. But at that moment I was unsure. Leave it to him to sit there and let me do all the talking. Like I know what to say.
"Finally, now I don't have to keep your secret" she said signing while looking straight at Cory.
"excuse me, am I missing something" I stammer
"yes, Cory told me one of the first days we met that he liked you a lot and told me not to tell you anything. so I didn't"
"so you knew for months and you didn't tell me"
" yep pretty much"
"well, feel the love"
"you sure did a minute ago" Izzie said with a mocking tone
"Izzie could you give us a minute" I Cory whispered almost silently even for us. Izzie left almost immediately while Cory signaled her to shut the door he turned to face me.
"what was that about?" I ask. He just stood there looking at me like seriously we just made out and what Izzie said is what you want to talk about. which was kind of true that is not at all what I wanted to talk about. "Ok fine how long have you felt that way about me?"
"there we go I knew it was coming. Pretty much as long as I've known you" he simply replied. I wanted to go, my god when did you learn to kiss like that but I just barely stopped myself. he put his hand on my shoulder and I almost melted, it felt so warm I just want to wrap myself up in his arms and stay like that forever. But of course my brain would not function with his hand on my shoulder so when he started to ask me questions like if I liked him as much as he like me I did not have an answer until I finally snapped myself out of it by randomly laughing I have no idea why, nothing was even funny. Smooth Emerald, I am just not doing very well. after I got over my random laughing fit. he finally just gave it up and decided that a lot happened today and I could not be expected to answer such a deep question right now. He finally kissed me one the forehead, which of course sent my heart racing, then he left the room. When he left I looked out the door and Izzie was looking at me with her famous smirk.
"I know what happened" she said with annoying smirk.
"Really" I reply just as annoyed with her comments as her personality.
" Yes you did not want to tell him you don't like him as much as he likes you ".
" that is not it at all" I almost scream at her.
"Then why would you not answer him?" she questioned.
"I dont know".
"Does he really have that much of an effect on you, wow thats sad".
"shut up Izzie" I say while pushing past her.
