A kiss of mischievous

Chapter 8: love is in the air

Knock Knock Carlitos room door opens.

Carlitos mom: I brought some tea and some light snacks. Oh am I interrupting something?

Carlito smiles and silently laughs while he takes the snacks and tea from his mom. I'm unclench my fist and open my eyes, but I'm too ashamed to look at his mom. I don't know why but It feels like we were caught doing something that we weren't supposed o be doing.

Carlito: no, you're not interrupting anything. Jasmine just got a little spooked.
Jazzy: yea I just... got a little...spooked yea
Carlitos mom: well alright, you two love birds let me know if you need anything. Okay?

Carlito: were not love birds. But thanks for the snacks.
Jazzy: thank you so much ms. Uh
Carlitos mom: just call me mom. I would prefer that.
Jazz: oh um ok thank you mom. Wow, I never got to say those words all in one sentence.
Carlitos mom: why is that?
Jazzy: I just never really was raised by my mother. I was raised by my dad and my brother but I moved away from my dad when I was 13.
Carlitos mom: well our home is your home. You're welcome here anytime.
Jazzy: thank you, I really appreciate it.

She gave us one big warm smile before closing the door behind her. I turn around and see Carlito looking at me.

Jazzy: why are you looking at me like that? I sit down and eat the snacks in front of me
Carlito: I never knew that about you.
Jazzy: what that my mom basically wasn't in my life? Its not something I tell everyone.
Carlito: I'm sorry you went through that.
Jazzy: I'm sorry I went through that too. Heh but that's all in the past, I have to focus on the now. Speaking of now, what did you need me to do?
Carlito: okay don't get mad at me, but I need to take a picture with you, with books to make it seem like I tutor basically dumb kids. And you being the dumbest person I know I thought it was a great opportunity.
Jazzy: what the hell!? So you're using me to get freaking community service credit?!?
Carlito: I didn't know who else to ask. All the other girls seem like they would come in my house just to see what lotion I use. Like that weird crap.
Jazzy: well you're not wrong. But I still can't believe you chose me I'm not that dumb. Yes I have my slow moments but I'm not straight up stupid.
Carlito: ehhhh
Jazzy: oh you're so gonna get it.

I lunge forward to Carlito and make him lose his balance. Unfortunately he's taller and stronger than me, which I didn't think thorough. He grabs both my wrists and stops me from getting any closer to him. I step on his feet and pull him forward and back, eventually me and him both fall. When I open my eyes all I can see his how close Carlitos face is to mine. He finally opens his eyes. When we realized what situation we were in both our eyes widened. We hear a knock on the door. Knock knock.
