It's Only the Beginning

Chapter 18: Words through Roses

Kylie's POV

The bell had finally rang and I was out of the classroom first, nearly running to the destination I was supposed to go to!

Through out the whole day I had gotten six roses. All of them saying little things to add up to a sentence. The whole thing read “Meet me after school behind the gym for a special surprise, I know you'll love it,"

What the hell was that supposed to mean? And why had Kelly given me all of these roses? Was he going to murder me or confess his undying love for me or something? Oh great, now suddenly I didn't want to go!

But then again, there was that warm feeling in my heart that told me it wasn't even about Kelly. Maybe this was Jake's doing, but what could he possibly be doing now? That boy is always getting into trouble I swear.

I put most of my books in my bag and shut my locker, slowly making my way to the gym. I needed to calm down anyway and stop thinking about this so much. It was probably just going to be Kelly, Jake wasn't the hopeless romantic type like I wish he was, but I guess I liked it that way too.

I took a deep breath before pushing the back doors of the gym open and stepping outside into the crisp air. But instead of someone being there, there was no one! Was this just a joke?! Oh great, it was just a stupid joke and people were probably hiding in the bushes laughing at me, most likely the cheerleaders had set this up!

I happened to glance down and something caught my eye. A skittle? My favorite candy. Why would one lonely skittle be lying on the ground by itself? I looked a little further and noticed another one laying on the ground. Then another.

It was a trail!

A trail of candy! Oh my word I think my dreams have finally come true! I was going to find a pot of gold and a rainbow at the end of this trail, I just know it!!

I followed the trail slowly but with a little sparkle in my step. It rounded around the corner and as soon as I passed the brick building and turned the corner I froze in my steps.

Roses, candy, candles and my favorite guy in the whole world!

Jake was standing with his hands in his pockets, a slight blush on his face that made him so much more irresistable, and a sly smirk on his face that also showed how nervous he was. I dropped my bags on the ground and slowly stepped towards him.

“What is this?" I asked as I took one last step to get closer to him.

“I just . . . well . . . I guess I was . . ." He trailed off and looked at me with uncertainity in his eyes. I suddenly got really worried. He was barely scared or nervous about anything, what was this all about? I had been thinking that since the beginning of the day when I first got the rose. You know how many people asked me why I had roses today? A lot! Trust me! A LOT!

I watched, nervous myself now, as Jake pulled something out of his pocket and kneeled down on one knee. What the hell? Is he asking me to marry him or something? I'm not old enough to get married! I'm only in high school for crying out loud!!! My life is over, I can't tell him no because well . . . I think I've fallen in love with my bodyguard! Something that has started off so simple became so complicated.

“Stop thinking that I'm proposing to you," Jake snapped at me with a smirk on his face. I snapped back to reality and looked down at him with worry.

“Then what are you doing?" I whispered, not trusting my voice at this moment. He cleared his throat and smiled up at me, no more smirking.

“Kylie, would you do me the honor of becoming my girlfriend?" He asked as he held out his hand which held a beautiful bracelet with a single diamond heart. If you looked closely you could see that something was etched into the diamond. It was his name; Jake.

My heart stopped.

No literally I couldn't breathe anymore! I was stuck in this moment and I couldn't get out of it. What was I going to say? Of course I wanted to say yes but what about him being a player?

“Jake. . . you know we're not made for each other," I whispered and he stood up and wrapped his arms around me.

“Says who babe?" I melted into him, I loved when he called me babe!

“Society? The school? Your a player Jake, I'm a nobody," Jake swiftly bent his head down and kissed me gently on the lips. A spark was sent through my body, sending every nerve on end and making me tingle with need for him to touch me.

“Who gives a damn about them. I know you felt that too," He whispered against my lips. The tingles were still there and I'm guessing he felt the same way too. Considering that we both wouldn't pull away from each other, we seemed glued together.

“Please say yes babe," He whispered looking into my eyes, our foreheads resting against eachother.

I smiled and leaned forward, kissing him again. He wrapped me up into him and lifted me in the air, twirling me around before finally setting me back on the ground.

“Yes," I whispered finally, against his addicting lips.

“Yes?" He asked me in disbelief. I laughed again.

“Yes, of course! Yes!" He picked me up again, bridal style and spun us around again, kissing me while doing so. Could this day get anymore perfect?!

“Kylie I . . . I love you," He said, his hands resting on my waist and my arms draped around his neck. I smiled up at him and stood on my tippy toes, kissing him one last time.

“I love you too Jake,"

He sighed in relief and lifted my wrist so he could slip on the beautiful bracelet he had gotten me. I would wear it everyday.

“You do know what this means don't you Jake?"

He grabbed my hand and my bags and we started walking to his car before he answered me.

“No, what does this mean babe?" He asked as he opened my door for me and put my things in the back. I waited until he was sitting down and I grabbed his hand, which he held the whole way home just to tell you, and smiled over at him.

“You have to meet my family,"
