Perfect For Me

Chapter Three

Junie's POV

Tonight was the night I was gonna hang out with Cade and I was nervous. My mom was more excited than me and I didn't know why, I mean it's not like we were dating. I stare at my outfit in the mirror, I wore a black skirt with a white off shoulder shirt with converse's because why not people wear shoes with skirts. I smooth out my outfit and take a deep breath, I was terrified I didn't know what was gonna happen. My mom yells at me from downstairs, he's here already. I close my eyes and take a huge breath before walking down the steps. I heard his voice and I just wanted too run back too my room.

I see his eyes go wide when he sees me. I tuck a piece of hair behind my ear and smile to myself. "You look beautiful Junie." He says looking me up and down. My mom grabs her camera and takes a pic like we're going to prom. I hug her goodbye and we walk outside to his car, he opens the door for me. He's such a gentleman aw I think to myself.

We arrive at an unfamiliar place, but it turns out it was an ice cream shop and his face lit up with glee. What flavor do you want? He asks cheerfully. I giggle at how excited he was. It's like he was a little baby or something. We walked around and talked for hours. "There's a park around the corner, let's go." He grabs my hand and leads me to the park we could walk right to it without having to drive. I covered myself with my arms. Are you cold? He asks. I nod and he offers me his jacket wrapping it around me.

It smelled good wow. We sat on the bench and continued to talk. So what's it like to be the popular guy? I asked pulling his jacket closer to me. He scoffs. "It has its perks but it's frustrating, the fact that you have to live up to everyone else's expectations is what sucks about it, all the girls throwing themselves at me." He didn't seem really happy about being the cool guy in school. "You don't seem like the other guy's, you're different, sweet, so why did you pick me to hang out with." He stares at me for a minute, he tucks a strand of hair behind my ear and smiles. In that moment I felt something I'd never felt before, I didn't want to fall for him, I couldn't. "You really want to know why I'm hanging out with you, what kind of a question is that? He asks. I laugh. "Well, you have a girlfriend and you aren't with her, you're with me." I say. He intertwined our hands and I'm frozen for a moment, his touch sent shivers through me. "You wanna know a secret, I've never been kissed and I've never had a boyfriend, I mean one time there was this guy in 6th grade that I really liked, I even went to his house for Valentine's Day to give him candy." I say. What happened? He asks. I look away for a moment, "He chose another girl over me, but I think I learned a lot that day and I promised I would never do that again." I say looking at him.

He stands up and takes my hands. "Do you want to know why I'm not with my girlfriend right now, I'd rather be here with you." He says kissing my hand. Aw I say to myself. "But there's something else that I wanted to do." He rests his hand on my face and kisses me and honestly it was amazing. He pulls me closer and deepens the kiss, I grab his shirt and I kiss him just as hard. I pull away. What was I doing. I couldn't kiss him. "Cade, we can't." I turn away from him and he grabs me from behind and spins me around. I don't look at him. Junie, what's wrong? He asks. "Please look at me." I look in his eyes and they glisten. "I-I can't do this." I'm sorry. I say leaving.

"Don't fall in love with me." I say running away from him. I couldn't do it. I couldn't fall in love with him. I call my mom to come get me. I felt bad for running from him but at that moment I couldn't be near him, I go to my room and cry. I wish I never would have went out with him. He kissed me. I close my eyes and try to get him out of my head. School was tomorrow and I had to avoid him. He had a girlfriend.

I wasn't gonna fall in love with Cade Winters.

Cade's POV

She looked so cute in her outfit. She was cold and I gave her my jacket. My favorite place was an ice cream shop in town. I glance over at her and see her smiling to herself. She must like this place too, I mean who wouldn't they had so many flavors of ice cream, it was amazing. I was like a kid in a candy store, she was laughing at me. Her laugh was cute, we sat in the shop for hours just talking and getting too know each other, we shared a banana split and she ended up getting ice cream on her nose, we both laughed.

I admired her features. Her smile, everything was perfect about her. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and I wondered what her hair felt like. Was it silky. I bet it was. We leave the shop and head to the park across the street, I loved going there to get away from everything and everyone, I never even brought my girlfriend here but Junie was different, I had fun with her and she was a completely different person outside of school. She wasn't shy at all.

We sit on the bench together, she rests her head on my shoulder. So why did you pick me to hang out with? She asks. I stare down at her with her head still on my shoulder, she was quiet waiting on my answer. "You're pretty cool, and I wanted to hang out with you because I think you're adorable." I say.

She raises her head up and fiddles with her fingers. I intertwine my fingers with her, she looks down at our hands and I see a hint of a smile. "Wanna know a secret." She says playing with my fingers. "I've never been kissed and never been in love except for when I was in the sixth grade." She goes on to explain what happened and I couldn't focus because I was too busy staring at her the whole time, her hair the way it flowed down past her shoulders, and her beautiful blue eyes, her lips.... her lips were perfect for kissing.

I take her hands and look her in the eyes, she was reading me trying to figure out what I was doing. And I do it. I kiss her. She grabs my shirt and I deepen the kiss. I bite her bottom lip they tasted sweet from the ice cream. She pulls away. She looked scared and confused. She turns her back to me but I spin her around. Junie, what's wrong? I ask. She was crying. "Don't fall in love with me." She says running off. I stand there taking in her words, she didn't want me to fall in love with her.

But I already was in love with her.
