"Sumo?" Jeff asked as we sat in my car.

"Yeah?" I replied.

"What are we going to do when college comes around?"

"I still be by your side."

He turn to look at me, "What if you find someone else?"

"Who would that be? No one is better than Jeffrey Randell."

"I just don't want to lose you, Sumo."

I smiled, "You won't. I'll still be here for when once you get everything you want. Then we can get married and be together forever. Even through death."

"That's a serious promise, Sumo."

I grabbed his hand, "I know."

"I can't wait."

Where should I start? I kissed Jeffrey. To make it more romantic, it happened in the rain. Also we danced in the rain. I know, so romantic! All honesty, after dropping Jeff off, and hugged him, I drove all the way home squealing like a little girl. I am so amazing and it sometimes hurts! 

I just keep hearing love songs in my head. Because it is much needed! Then I called Clarence, and kept him all night just by talking to him all what happened. But he fell asleep on me! I can't believe him. I can't blame him though, right after all the explaining then I fell asleep also.

Now here I am. Sick in my bed all because the most romantic thing in my life happened. Then it rain! The rain made me sick. That cold water that poured on us, on our first kiss together, making me sick. I still can't believe it. 

We kissed.

Our first kiss was in the rain like the couple from The Notebook.

My phone rang from the table. I reached over, not looking at the caller ID, and clicked the green button. I put the phone next to my ear. The moment it got to my ear, I sneezed so hard I couldn't feel my nose for a moment. I hate those type of sneezes. 

"Hello?" I asked, wondering who is calling me. 

"I'm sorry." Jeff said.

"What? Why are you sorry? And why are you calling me? It's school time, it's only the second period."

"I should've known that the cold rain would've gotten one of us sick. I shouldn't have kissed you, I knew the storm is coming. I'm seriously sorry, Sumo."

"Don't be. I liked the kiss and if I wasn't sick right now. I would totally kiss you again."

He laughed, "And to answer the other part of the question . . . I asked to use the bathroom so I could talk to you."

"Oh my Jeffrey. Someone acting like a little devil. I like it."

"Don't get used to it. I refuse to keep doing this."

I smiled, "This is a new version of Romeo and Juliet, don't you think?" 

"Sumo, you do realize that they die in the end right? Killing themselves because of a misunderstanding."

"I wasn't referring to the whole murder, Jeffrey. I was mentioning how much they loved each other which is similar to us."

I can tell that he is rolling his eyes. One thing that Jeff can't stand is the Romeo and Juliet play. He thinks that it's over rated and can't believe that Shakespeare wrote it. Jeffrey also loves his plays and that scary guy Edgar Allen Poe. To be honest, I never understood why he really like him. I always thought his stuff his kinda creepy.

Jeff sighed, "His worst play in my opinion. But always, I also wanted to call to see if I can come over after the school."

"I'm down." I said, to fast.

"Good, but I hope you know that I might not stay to long. I don't want to get sick too."

"I feel the love, Jeffrey."

He snorted, "See you Sumo. Get better and some sleep, it will help you."

I smiled as he hung up the phone. I put the phone on the table and rolled on my side. I heard my mom cleaning the living room, while taking care of the youngest ones. My dad is at work, working on those cars, but brings money home. I sighed as I pulled the covers to my chin. Then I fell asleep. Getting my much needed rest.

---

The first thing I heard, was Clarence and Jeff having a quiet fight. I didn't want to open my eyes, because apart of me is still tired while the other is wondering what are they talking about. I hope that Clarence isn't going to spill my plan of confessing to Jeffrey. I worked to hard on this plan and Belson is using a lot of money.

He owes me a favor. Let's just say, Belson can't cook but I can. So yeah, he owes me.

Before Clarence can spill any of my plans, I flipped over in the bed but I guess I flipped to hard because I fell out of the bed. Jeff jumped over to help me as Clarence laughed. I looked over at him, he's holding some strange plastic box but he smiled at me. Jeff helped me back on the bed, and pressed the back of his hand against my forehead.

"Are you feeling any better?" Jeff asked.

"Now that you are here. Much better." I said with a smile.

"Don't try to be romantic now. You're sick."

"So is working? Or no? 'Cause I could amp up my game, you know." 

He smiled as he pulled his hand away. I sighed happily as I looked over at Clarence. Clarence winked towards me and nodded his head. I'm guessing that something has been delivered here, which is great! My plan to confess to Jeff is falling into place. Like a puzzle but not one of those long puzzles like the same ones you get in dollar stores. Those kind of puzzles. 

"Here, mom made them in hopes that you feel better. Her famous cookies." Clarence said as he put them on the table.

"Thanks." I said. 

"I'll call you tonight. Chad is taking us out to a family dinner." 

"See you?"

"Totally. Bye Sumo! Bye Jeff! Feel better, 'kay!"

Clarence left the room, saying bye to everyone else in the house. Jeff laughed as he looked down at me. I look back to him. Jeff brought the blanket to my chest, grabbing a rag from the side of my bed, no doubt my mom put it there, and wiped away the sweat. I never found a man so much sweeter than I have now. 

Jeff pressed the rag against my forehead then lifted it up. He put it back on the table and grabbed my hand. I smiled at him. I wonder if anyone has ever died from smiling so much. 'Cause I might be the first victim ever. Yeah, that's the way to go.

"I really liked last night. I just wish that you hadn't got sick." Jeff said.

I shrugged, "Who cares? Now I have a smoking hot nurse to take care of me today."

"Excuse me?"

"You're excused. I just really can't wait til I get better."

"And why is that?"

"So I can kiss you again."

He smiled, "Me too."
