She's My Girlfriend!

Chapter 67: I Like you,

"Jemma..." She said my name as she put her sunglasses on the grass next to her and moved to lay next to me.

I rolled onto my back as I looked up at her. She sighed as she laid her hand on my stomach, making patterns in my shirt. "It wasn't just sex, okay?" She said as she looked me in the eye.

I clenched my jaw as I brought my hands up to rest my head on.

She continued to look down at me, waiting for me to say something.

"Why is it so hard for you to talk about this stuff?" I finally asked as I kept my eye contact.

She blinked a few times, looking away then sighing and looking back.

"It just is, why do you ask so many questions?" She asked back.

I smiled as I squirmed when her hand went under my shirt to rub my stomach.

"Why don't you answer them?" I asked as I laughed when she hit a sensitive spot. She smiled as she leaned down and kissed me on the cheek.
My eyes widened as she leaned away, a bright blush on her cheeks.

"Are you... blushing?"

"Shut up." She laughed as she moved her hand farther up my stomach so that she was now brushing her fingers just under my chest.
My emotions went back to square one, confusion and annoyance. I grabbed her hand and pulled it out of my shirt, pulling it down and sitting up. I rubbed my hand over my face then looked at her.

"What's wrong?"

I tried to swallow the enormous lump that had made its way to my throat, but was having issues.

"Can you just tell me what's going on in your mind? I mean if it's not just sex between the two of us, then what is it? I really want to know and I deserve to know as well."

Jedean rolled her eyes as she rested her arms on her raised knees.

"Don't do that... if you were in my shoes, you'd want to know as well and you know it."

"God, you're such a girl Jemma..." She groaned.

I laughed at the comment, causing her to look at me with a bored stare.

"Uhm, yeah. I think you established I'm a girl a few days ago." I smiled at her rest cheeks. 'Well, she blushes... so is that bad or good?' "Tell me?" I egged on.

"No."

"Oh my god, why?"

"Why don't you tell me?" She asked as she moved rather close to me. I leaned back on my hands as she moved even closer.
Her eyes studied me as I averted them.

"Well?"

"What?" I asked, trying to sound stupid. She rolled her eyes and moved back to where she was before.

"Exactly. You try and get me to tell you my feelings, yet you won't tell me yours. Isn't the hypocritical?" She asked as she rolled her neck to look over to me.

"Well, you've never even asked before... So sorry if that threw me through a loop." I defended myself.

"Is that what I need to do to get you to tell me?" I asked as I moved behind her, pulling her back into me so that my arms were wrapped around her shoulders and her back laying into my chest.
She rested her head on my shoulder and sighed as she laid her hands on top of mine.

In that moment, I could feel how vulnerable she really was with me. I could understand why she was so secretive about her feelings, because she had never talked to anyone about them.

I rested my head on hers as I took a deep breath.

"I don't know..." She said in a sad tone.

I swallowed that huge lump I had building up and squeezed her tightly before I closed my eyes and spoke.

"I like you... more than a friend..." I said finally. I felt chills run up and down my spine as I could feel her tense in my arms, but I didn't pull away. "I like you a lot, Jedean. It scares me... because I haven't felt like this and... I don't know if it's actually like or something more..." I stated.
I let out a breath as I tried to compose myself. Jedean titled her head back so she could look me in the eye.

She had this interesting look on her face that I couldn't figure out. "Being around you gives me butterflies. Being around you makes me smile even when I've had a horrible day. Going to your house and cuddling in your bed when I'm supposed to be 'tutoring' you, sends me over.

Our first time together, though I know I wasn't very good for you, was amazing for me." I stopped there and kept my mouth shut and my eyes on hers.
She took in a breath and looked away, making me even more nervous than before. But then, she turned in my arms and laid me down on my back, with her laying on top of me. She looked down at me as she ran her fingers through my hair.

"Everything you just said... well... I feel exactly the same way..." She said as she leaned down and kissed my forehead. "I like you too... and uhm... it feels... Uh... well it feels..." She sighed as she gave me eye contact. "Please don't make me say it?" I laughed as I wrapped my arms around her neck and brought her down to me.

"It's okay. I think I understand..." She smiled as she kissed me.

"No, I'll say it... I need to get over my shyness." She said as she smiled.
I raised my brows at that and smiled a curious smile.

"Jedean Tan, shy? Now I've seen it all." I laughed as she smacked my leg lightly.

"Don't make fun of me... anyway uhm... I want you and I love you Jemma... in more ways than one. I want you to be... with me. I want us to be more than friends."

A/N: Bravo Bravo Jedean u made it...!!!!
