Who The Fxck Is Jack Barakat?!

Part 11

After a few seconds we pull back and Liz just looks at me. Normally her eyes reveal what she thinks but this time I can't see it, I can't tell whether it was okay to kiss her or not. Shit, I've probably ruined everything. The one time you really fell in love you did everything wrong you could do wrong. Well done, Barakat.

"I I am sorry, I shouldn't have..." I begin to stammer but she cuts me off with another kiss, even better than the first one.

"No it was... great" She whispers into my ear and smiles.

"Really?" I ask unsure.

"Of course" She giggles and I sigh relieved.

"Would you like to do it again then?" I smirk.

"Hmm... maybe" She says, lays her arms around my neck and presses her lips against mine.

"Wow, you're good at this!" I acknowledge and she starts to laugh.

"You're not that bad yourself I guess" She winks at me. "So... it's been an amazing evening!"

"I think I can agree, yes" I nod but I'm sure my big grin has already told her.

"Well, it's very late and you have to get home now so good night, Jack" She turns to the door.

"Wait what, that's it? Shouldn't we, like, talk or something?" I stare at her in confusion.

"Good night, Jack!" She laughs, goes inside and closes the door.

"Liz, come back!" I shout. "What does this mean?"

"Shut up you idiot, it's almost 11pm and some people try to sleep!!!" I hear somebody from a window yelling at me.

"Oh fuck off!!!" I shout back and don't bother about him anymore. "Please Liz, don't leave me here like this!" I whine but she doesn't reply.

"Okay, I'll drive home then, good night" I mumble as I slowly make my way to the car. As soon as I reach it, I get a text from her.

"Told ya you're a drama queen! And thanks for pissing my neighbour off, he's annoying as hell. We will talk about the events from earlier the next time, k? See you :) x P.S. I like drama queens tbh"

I can't help but smile for the rest of the night till I go to sleep.

*Liz POV*

OH MY GOD HE REALLY KISSED ME!!! I know I shouldn't freak out but HE kissed ME!!! He likes me back... Jack likes me! I should probably calm down but... it feels so unreal. I've met him only six days ago and I've never thought this would happen. Especially not today.

I mean he showed up without any warning, being the cool and good-looking guy like always and then there was... me. Looking like a ghost, the house messy... I wonder why he didn't run away and shout "Oops sorry, you aren't worth it!" But instead he kissed me. I'm still standing behind the door and grinning like a fool. Okay Liz, try to concentrate on anything else than Jack again.

I go to the living room and notice that he left the movie here. I grab the package and take the DVD out of the DVD player to put it back to its normal place but I see that Mr skunk-hair has hidden a little note in the cover.

"You don't need to give the DVD back, see it as a gift from me! Trust me, I have enough copies of Home Alone in my apartment ;)"

Woah, he's apparently more obsessed with the movie than I thought he is. I chuckle slightly, he could even mouth every dialogue from the movie, that's what I call the typical behaviour of a fanboy. But I've been told several times that it's the same with me and Forrest Gump so I can completely understand it. To be honest, I think it's pretty adorable if you like a film that much.

I place the DVD in the shelf next to my copy of Forrest Gump and put away the now empty bottles of beer and the rest of a chocolate bar we ate. I look at the clock and decide that I'm way too excited to sleep right now so I end up searching for Friends again.

I turn the TV on and watch as many episodes as possible till I get at least kinda tired. But I catch myself way too often not paying attention to the plot and instead daydreaming about Jack and the kiss.

*Next day*

We arrive at my parents' house just in time and I head to the garden where the party will be held. I feel a bit bad because I didn't tell Kaitlyn about yesterday but I think it's probably better if she doesn't know about it yet.

Before I open the gate I check one last time whether the dress I'm wearing really suits me. Kaitlyn gives me an encouraging look, she knows how much I dislike wearing dresses. Well, I don't dislike them but they don't fit me, that's it.

I see my mum decorating the table with the food and I run to her. Kaitlyn follows me but can't speed up because of her high heels. I told her that we will celebrate in the garden and it would be better to wear normal shoes but she insisted on wearing the shoes that matched the best with her outfit.

"Liz, Kaitlyn!" Mum smiles and hugs me and my friend. "How are you girls?"

"We're great! Where's dad?" I ask, I haven't spotted him so far.

"He's in the kitchen, preparing a salad for the guests with your brother, you can of course say hello to him now." I nod and go inside, Kaitlyn stays outside to help my mother. I make my way to the kitchen and find my dad and Mark having problems with some carrots.

"Can I maybe help you?" I smirk and they lay down the vegetables to involve me into a bone-crushing hug.

"Please guys, I need to breathe..." I point out and they free me almost instantly.

"Sorry princess, we didn't mean to kill you on my birthday" Dad grins and I hug him again less tightly.

"Happy birthday daddy" I whisper and he kisses my forehead.

"Hey, I want to be daddy's princess, too!" Mark suddenly shouts and makes us laugh.

"You are both my little princesses, okay?" Dad chuckles and turns to me. "Liz, can you please stay here and help your brother? I think the phone's ringing again..."

"Sure" I smile and he goes to the living room. I really try to make the work easier for Mark but I guess I only make it worse. The Knight siblings just weren't made for a career as a cook. But that's perfectly okay. We spend the next hour in the kitchen and the time I don't talk to Mark I have to think about Jack again. And of course my brother notices that I smile while doing so.

"If he is the reason you're grinning like that he has to be amazing" Mark smirks.

"Shut up" I say and blush. But secretly I agree with him. Yes, Jack's really amazing.
