Back at the car, my whole body is shaking. I'm afraid. Afraid that after all that just happened, I would get heartbroken. I'm not really sure when it happened, but I have to admit that I'm falling for Jeremy.

I don't know if I can say 'love' just yet, but knowing me, it wont be too long till it happens.

Jeremy and I sit in the car. There's some intensity in the air. I have to hold myself back from stripping him down and attacking him with kisses. I try to clear up the awkwardness by saying, "You have to tell me what's going on."

Jeremy sighs and rubs his face with both hands. He's stressed. I did that to him. I made Jeremy stressed. I made him rub his face in frustration. Knowing that I'm the reason for that hurts me. It irritates the crap out of me.

"It's honestly better if i don't tell you. What you don't know can't kill you..."

Now my hands cross over my chest. I raise an eyebrow. Lately, I've seen how Jeremy reacts to little things I do. Like when I raise my eyebrow or bite my lip. But those are just things that I have no control over. They happen when they happen.

"I swear to freaking god Jeremy. If you don't tell me, I'm gonna find out myself. Does it have anything to do with you taking me? What about those guys from the restaurant that tried to get at me?"

He squints a little at the mention of them. It's definitely about those guys. "I'm already finding out. You might as well save me the trouble and tell me now."

Jeremy smirks. I can tell he doesn't want me to see it. Starting the car, I put on my seat belt. "You're impossible," I say. To try and tease him, I add, "...and I like that." But I say it very softly. A part of me hopes he heard it but at the same time, I don't want to provoke something that might never happen.
