Chapter 7

Jack got out of the car and walked around to open your door.
"What a gentleman." You saywhile stepping out.
"Well I think after what happened today... you deserve to be treated the best." He put his hand on your back and you both started walking up to his house's front door. "Before we go in," we stopped and turned to you. "I just wanted to let you know that my parents are away for their anniversary so we'll be the only ones here..." He looked at you like he was waiting for you to say its fine.
"Okay, and?" You said.
"Well I just thought... I mean I don't want you to feel..."
You let out a small laugh and hug him. "Let's just go inside." You tell him and turn back to the door. He pulled his keys out of his pocket and unlocked the door. "You can set down your backpack over here and you can put your shoes over there and...yeah. Or you could put your backpack in my room if you want."
"Sure." You say.
"Okay it's over here." He turns to the left and walks down the hallway. You walk closely behind him with your backpack slung across your shoulder. He opens a door to his left and leads you into his room. "Here I'll take this" he reaches for your backpack, walks over to the side of his bed, and sets it down. "You can sit down... If you want? Or you don't-"
"Jack." You stop him.
"Yeah?"
"Are you okay?"
"I've just never had a girl in my... Wait, shouldn't I be asking you that?" He walks over to his bed and sits down.
"I kind of just want to pretend like it didn't happen."
"Yeah I get it. I'm just so glad that I came in when I did... I'm sorry for not coming in sooner." He reached his hand up to the back of his neck in a way that's become so familiar.
"How'd you even know I was in there?"
"Well I saw him with you and my teacher asked me to come into his class to talk about a project he didn't think I turned in, and when I came out, I didn't see either of you. I knew you wouldn't have wanted to go with him by choice, so I knew something was up."
"That's when you came in."
"Yeah. Look I know there's no way I could possibly understand what that was like or how you feel, but I just want you to know that I'll always be here for you and you can talk to me whenever you want."
"Thanks." You look down at your hands and take your ring off and put it back on again and again. Jack follows your gaze and reaches for your hands. His large hands wrap around yours and you feel butterflies in your stomach.
He looks back up at you and says, "Your hands are cold."
"Yeah they get that way sometimes."
You both laugh and he pulls his hands away. He repositions himself so that he's facing you and you're both sitting cross legged.
"So," there's a long pause.
"So, what?"
He reaches towards your face and your body tenses up.
"So, I think you're beautiful." He pushes your hair away from your face.
You feel the blood rush to your cheeks and you look away.
"Oh my gosh."
"Really. You are." You look back at him and now he's looking straight into your eyes. "Ever since I saw you on the first day of school, I've thought you were beautiful. You're just so... different."
"Wow, thanks!" You roll your eyes.
"You know what I mean. I've never met a girl that's so beautiful and doesn't even know it." Now your cheeks were crimson red. No guy had ever called you beautiful.
"Jack you don't have to-"
"and you're smart enough to know that I really like you. A lot." Before you know what's happening, his lips crash into yours. The feeling was indescribable. His hands moved up your back and stopped when they met your bra clasp.
"What are you doing?" You pull away suddenly.
"I - I wasn't doing anything."
"I really don't think I can do this after everything that's happened today."
"Okay, yeah."
"Can we just go watch a movie or something?"
"Of course." He gets up from his bed and extends his hand out to you. "C'mon." You take his hand and he pulls you up. As you walk out into the hallway, you feel his warm hand holding yours. "Hey, your hands not cold anymore." You smile at him. He smiles back and kisses you on your cheek. "Okay, are you into action, comedy, or romance?"
