The Kissing Booth Mistake

Jess's POV

"This is a terrible idea."

"That's not what Ugine said," my best friend Talia smirked.

"That's because Ugine would do anything for any physical action with a female. I mean the poor boy wouldn't even mind a punch in the face from you!" I scolded, flailing my arms around.

Talia and I have nothing in common, other than the fact that we suck at getting real jobs. I guess you could say that opposites attract considering we've been best friends since kindergarten.

"So, how long do you have to sit here?" I changed the subject, leaning on the wooden stand she calls a booth. The only thing different is that it's not a booth that sells lemonade.

Oh I wish.

Talia had stooped to the low level of even considering a kissing booth. Which was more than a consideration and now actually happening in our towns yearly carnival.

"6 hours," she moped, using her hand as a kickstand as she stared in space.

"Well actually, now it's 5 hours," she added with a little more optimism.

"Sucks to suck," I responded cold heartedly. She gave me a death glare and I just shrugged back.

"What? It wasn't my idea that you did this stupid-"

"Hola," a random guy with an accent introduced with a creepy smirk. The guy had a full on mustache and what I was about to witness needed a camera.

"1 dollar," Talia deadpanned, not even looking him in the eyes. He stuffed the dollar he had already had ready and winked at Talia.

"You are about to witness... MACHO RIIICO!"

I covered my mouth and let out a snort which earned another death glare from Talia. Was this guy for real? He even rolled his tongue when he announced that he was so called,"Macho Rico." And he was everything but macho, that's for sure.

He leaned forward, repeatedly raising his eyebrows as his mustache twitched. She swiftly gave him a quick peck on the lips before backing away and ending this whole ordeal with,"Thank you for the donation!" Talia gave the fakest most forced smile I've ever seen.

"At least this is for a good cause..." I mumbled, watching as Mr. Macho licked his lips and boasted back,"I'll come back for more."

He winked at me then limped away.

"Oh. My. Go-"

"Don't even," Talia stated between gritted teeth. I didn't even. I wasn't ever going to even, especially because I know Talias 'you're going to pay' face.

"Well, I'd love to stay and chat, but I have Bouncy House duty so..." I started slowly walking away, pointing to the direction of screaming kids who were hopped up on cotton candy.

"Nuh uh uh," Talia started, tugging on my wrist and clicking her tongue.

Oh no. She's up to something.

"You, missy, are going to stay right here." She directed me to sit on the stool, which was connected to the kissing booth.

Does she want to die today?

"NO. NO. NUH UH," I whined sternly, furrowing my eyebrows at her.

"Just until I come back. I mean a girls gotta eat," she explained, waving and walking the other direction.
