He's The Reason Why

Chapter 8

"Y-y-you w-what?"

"I like you Jaime. Plain and simple."

Jack took a step towards me and my whole body started to tremble. I took a small step back looking up at him with wide eyes. I was so shocked. Jack Frost. Jack Frost, likes me? There's nothing special about me so why would he?

"How could y-you like m-me," I asked looking down, biting my lip. "I'm nothing special, my hair's a dull brown. My eyes aren't pretty, I'm fat as h-," I was cut off when I felt his hand cup my chin and lift my head up.

"One Jaime, you're the most attractive guy I've ever seen. Two, don't ever call yourself fat. Ever. You hear me? I won't have it. You've got curves, so what? I like them, so you should to."

I didn't realize how close I was standing to Jack. My body was basically pressed against his and for once I didn't mind being this close to him. But at the same time I did, because I was afraid he'd hate my body if he ever actually saw it.

"You mean that? We've only known each other for a short time," I looked away again. I was so afraid of his answer. He was probably just saying that. I really wasn't attractive, I was just average.

Jack still had a light grip on my chin, "Jamie please look at me." I reluctantly let my eyes glance up at him and I held his stare.

"When I saw you at the mall before school started, yes I recognized you, and I saw you watching me I instantly thought you were cute. And what was even cuter was watching you blush and trip over everything as you tried to leave the store. That's why I started talking to you immediately after I walked into math on the first day. I wanted to get to know you. I didn't realize up in till I kissed you last night that I had feelings for you."

I blushed again while still holding his gaze. Jack let go of my chin but cupped my cheek and before I could realize what was going on, my eyes had fluttered shut and I felt Jack lean down. His lips hovered over mine for a second before he kissed me.

It didn't involve any tongue, just a kiss of the lips. I felt sparks, and I hope Jack did too. We pulled apart after a minute and I looked at him. A grin spread across his face and I blushed feeling myself smile a little.

I smiled even more at what he said, "Please tell me I wasn't the only one who felt those sparks?"

I giggled and then my eyes went wide and a hand shot to my mouth when I realized I had just giggled.

"That was the cutest noise ever," Jack said as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, blushing and pouting a bit, "Shut up Jack."

We kissed again, and then pulled apart holding each other's hands down at our sides. Jack smirked down at me as I looked at him giving him a small smile.

"So Jaime, to be your boyfriend I need to take you out on a date. I want to take you out on a date so I can ask you to be my boyfriend. So I know your mom's having her banquet tonight for her grand opening and I know it's going to be big and everything but will you join me..."

I reached up and put a finger to his lips, "You're rambling. Obviously I have to attend the banquet but it would be better if I had you there, so yes I'll go with you."

He smiled against my finger and took it, giving it a kiss. "I'm flattered that you'll attend with me," he said. "By the way, what's your phone number? I've never gotten it yet."

I told him my number while he type it into his phone. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket a second later.

"I texted you my number, can we take a picture? You know for the contact," he asked a little nervous.

I giggled again and slapped my hand over my mouth again, letting out a muffled "Sure" as Jack laughed. "Still the cutest noise ever."

Jack held up his phone turning on the camera and he used his other hand to wrap around my waist. With that hand he pushed me against him, my hands resting on his chest as we both smiled up at the camera. He took the picture and we both looked at the picture and smiled.

"Text it to me please," I asked as I grabbed my phone. As he sent it, I saved his number to my contacts and then added the picture to his contact picture.

"Well we need to go get ready for tonight, and I'm sure Taylor is waiting for you?"

"Oh yeah, I should get going! She wanted to help me get ready while she got ready and then she was going to ride over with Phil."

"Well then that gives me a reason to come pick you up," Jack said as he brought my hand up to his lips, kissing it.

"No Jack, it's fine. I was going to d-" this time he cut me off with his finger.

"I'm picking you up Jaime," he smiled kissing my forehead.

I smiled back up at him, "Okay then Jack. See you at eight?"

He smiled back me, "I'll be there."

At that we went our seperate ways, tonight was going to be amazing.
