Millie's POV

Jonah just kissed me, not only did he kiss me, he said he loved me. This moment felt unreal, did he really mean it. It took me awhile to process what just happened. I pulled away from Jonah. I was speechless I had nothing to say to him, I mean I did but, I just didn't know what exactly to say. I quickly walked around Jonah, and proceeded to walk up the stairs to my room. Once I reached my room I shut the door behind me. I pressed  my back against the door, sliding down onto the floor with my knee's against my chest. I can hear Jonah do the same thing moments later.

"Millie, I......I'm sorry about, ummm what I did on the stairs, I was just......"

Jonah sounded really nervous. I wonder if he's apologizing because the kiss was bad, or maybe he just kissed me for fun. He's a player, I know that for sure, but I don't judge. I don't care if he's dated almost every girl in our class, or how girls basically open their legs as soon as they see him. I know the real Jonah, the Jonah who made me cereal this morning, The Jonah who passed up the hottest girl at school to take care of me, the Jonah sitting outside my door apologizing for kissing me. I get up off the floor and open the door, he falls onto his back staring up at me.

"Millie, let me explain." I cut him off mid sentence. 

"It's okay Jonah, don't apologize. You kissed me and it's fine." I had so much more to say, but I know that anything I say after that will be nonsense. I'll say how much that kiss meant to me, and how much I want him to do it again. "I liked it a lot Jonah, but if you don't, I totally understand." Jonah stays silent for a minute then he walks over to me. Jonah pulls  me into a hug, a really loose hug. He thinks I'm fragile, which I am, but I don't want to be.  I step over him and make my way to the office down the hall. Jonah had the guest room changed into an office so he could work this summer, his dad has some phone company and Jonah makes the new designs for the upgrades. I reach the office and sit on the couch, Jonah reaches the office a few seconds after me, he sits next to me, but not to close, I guess he doesn't want to hurt me.

"Listen Jonah, You don't have to act like I'm some child, I can handle myself" Jonah just stared at me, he looked confused, like he wasn't trying to protect me. Have I been wrong? Has he just been caring for me because he, he cares?
