quirky kisses

chapter 11

Ronny's pov

Audrey and I head upstairs after saying good bye to Jace. we watch hilarious movies, such as grown ups, 2 guns, and 21 jump street. 2 guns was my favorite though. I sit there thinking about tonight. I almost got my first kiss stolen from a guy who is....an arrogant jerk! I mean how could you sleep with one girl and then go in a date with another the next day?! "Ronny, stop thinking about it. what you need to think about is you and Jace." I look over to Audrey and it appears that her eyes will bulge out of her head at any moment. "Audrey?" she smiles. "yes Ron?" I stare to my lap and mess with the hem of my t-shirt. "so,...are Jace and I a couple?" her smile widens. "no, but you will be soon. you guys are sooo meant for each other!" she's squealing like a school girl. "so Ron, do you think you're ready to date Jace?" absolutely. "um, I don't know, maybe?"

by 3 o'clock Audrey is snoring beside me, while I stare up at the ceiling. what if Matt confronts me on Monday? if he apologizes, should I accept it? can we still be friends? would Jace be okay with that? do I need his approval? I rub my temples. I'm getting migraine. "uuuggghhh!!!!"

I'm awoken by sunshine coming through my window. "why must the sun ALWAYS return?!" I hear a laugh from Audrey, but then I also hear a low husky chuckle. I shoot right up. Jace is standing in my door way, with his arms folded across his chest and a smile plastered on his face. I shoot him a glare. "well good morning sunshine!" I look at Audrey who has been quiet this entire time. "Audrey, why is he here." she shrugs. "he wants to take you out. did you know you snore? and pretty loud too." my hand finds its way to my mouth and I gasp. I did not know I snore! Jace laughs. "hurry up and get ready, I'm taking you to lunch." I must have a confused look because Jace then adds, "it's already 12:15 Ronny!" I jump out of bed and run to the bathroom.

Jace' s pov

she returns to her room in some light wash jeans, a ruffly white top, and some gold sandals. her hair is curled. walks towards me and giggles. "take a picture, it last s longer." she smirks. I am speechless. her beauty never fails to take my breath away. which reminds me....I let out the breath I just realized I was holding. Audrey laughs while Ronny puts on some earrings. I give audrey a glare. just laughs and then walks away. "bye ronny! by lover boy!" I smile to the ground and try my best not to show that I'm blushing. I look over to Ronny and see that's she's blushing too. I walk over with a sudden burst of courage and wrap my arms around her from behind. I then kiss her cheek. her mouths flies open and she just stares at me. when the realization of what just happened hits her, she starts to blush. "are you ready?" I ask. she nods her head and then exits her room while I hold the door open. I made her react like that. ME, not matthew or any other guy. I made her blush. I'm on top of the world.

I open her car door. she gets in with out protest, but once the car is started and were buckled she turns to me. "you do know that I am capable of opening doors right? I mean, it's not rocket science." her face makes me want to laugh but I force myself not to. "yes Ron, I know that. but chivalry is still happening in this world. and as long as I'm alive it will be. in fact, forget about opening doors ever again." she smirks. "what if I need to poop. Will you open the door to the bathroom? what about when I'm done pooping?" I just give her a shocked look and she starts laughing. she holds her stomach from laughing to hard. then a snort escapes which makes us both laugh.

we pull up to the park, and I walk over and open Ronny's door. I then go to the trunk and grab the picnic basket. "I've never had a picnic" I confess. she smiles and gently touches my shoulder. "me neither." we walk side by side to a spot underneath a beautiful tree. I lay a blue blanket down and start to set up. I have sandwich meat, and the necessities. lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, mustard, and mayonnaise. when I pull out the mayonnaise she makes a look of disgust and I chuckle.

Ronny's pov

I grab the bread and start slapping on the sandwich meat. I then put on what I like. I look over to Jace, and he's starring at me. why is he staring at me? pfft. weirdo. "Ronny?" his eyes are locked with mine and I feel...what's the word? Awkward. "do you think I'm cute?" what kind of question is that? "uh...no." he frowns. "I think you're handsome, which is waaayyy better than cute." I smile, but an awkward over the top, kind of scary smile. he stays quiet which makes it even more weird. awko taco. "Ronny?" I sigh. "yes Jace?" I can see he is bored. great. I'm boring. the date just started and he already thinks I'm boring. wait...is this even a date? "can I ask you something else?" "you just did." I laugh. "do you want to play at the park?"

we race to the park, Jace is the lead but I'm not far behind! he's running and the back of his shirt flies up because of the wind. I stop dead in my tracks. HE HAS A FREAKING TATTOO?! "Jace!" I call for him but he doesn't stop. I run to the swings where he is already starting to kick his legs. "Jace." I practically breathe his name. I am sooo out of shape. "what." "when did you get your tattoo?" his face is filled with shock and something else I can not decipher. "when I was fifteen, why?" I try not to stumble on my words. "what is it of?" he furrows his brows as if asking my why it matters, but then turns around. he lifts his shirt and I see a jaguar on a throne with a crown and a scepter. I am so confused. "Jace...why?" he turns around. he then shrugs before answering. "because I wanted to." I nod even though I'm still confused. "is there a story behind it?" he frowns so slightly I almost missed it. he's hesitating... "no,..no I just liked the picture." he's lying. I feel sad. I feel upset that he lied to me, but I shrug it off. "race you to the monkey bars!" I yell and take off running.

he screams my name and I can feel him getting closer. I speed up and push my self forward. suddenly there is a very strong grip on my waste and the two of us are on the grass laughing. "Jace! I was going to win! that's cheating!" he laughs. "we never said any rules." Jace, I really like you! "you do?" "what?" he gives me a cheeky grin. "you really like me?" I am frozen. I can't move. I can't talk. it's like someone put me on pause. I'm going to die of embarrassment. once I can move and you know, function like a normal human being I groan. "I said that aloud?" his grin gets even wider, then he smirks. "well, I think I like you too." you think? what's wrong with me? why doesn't he know? I suddenly feel...unwanted. "is this a date?" I blurt out. he looks confused. "well duh. I mean, this is like the most romantic thing I've ever done with a girl. isn't it obvious? well, why? do you not want it to be?" I look in his eyes and I see hurt, but it goes away as quickly as it came. "I do." he smiles.

"so what do you want to do now?" we are still just laying in the grass. "random questions?" I shrug. "sure." "YOU FIRST!!" we shout at the same time. I have an idea. "rock paper scissors, and loser goes first." we play and I win, so he goes first. "hmm, would you ever get a tattoo? if so where?" hmm... yes. I would get one behind my shoulder, of a heart with like tribal print filling it....have you ever had a piercing?" he looks over to me and points to his lower lip. "yeah, I had two on the right side of my lower lip. what do you think of me quitting football, or just sports in general?" "well do you want to?" he looks to the clouds "I've been thinking about it." I wouldn't mind. I don't need a jock for a boy friend..guy friend."go for it...why did you dress the way you did today?" he has a tight-ish black shirt on, some dark jeans and some grey shoes. I mean he doesn't look bad! he looks way hotter! his hair is devilish and messy. I love this new look. "I don't know, I just am sorta into it now. do you like it?" I smile and hold his hand. bold move Ronny! gold star for Ronny!"I love it." we both smile and then get up.
