When I wake up in the morning he's gone but left a note that he will come over after breakfast. His Grandparents came into town this morning. I lay in bed and think about how good that felt last night. How he kissed me....what he smelled like....how he tasted like gelato. I can't stop myself, I text him but then I don't send it because what if I seem desperate? What if I like him more than he likes me? What if he breaks my heart? Is he worth the risk? The ping pong ball is back.....
June walks in looking so perfect so early in the morning. She has on a brown long sleeve ribbed skater dress and tall boots. Her hair is back in that amazing pinterest braid. She is so beautiful.
"Morning Sis!" She beams.
"Morning! Guess what?" I can't even stop smiling.
"What?" she sits on my bed with her back on the head board and I bring myself up to a sitting position.
"Jonas came over and kissed me at 3am." I boast with excitement.
"Oh Em Gee!" She squeals. I then tell her everything about kneeing him in the nuts and my episode at school yesterday.
"Finally! I'm so happy for you!" She beams.
"Thank you for listening to me rant on like a crazy person the last month or so." I slap my hands to the sides of my head as flashes of me in class yesterday flood my memory. So embarrassing.
"That's what I'm here for." I watch her straighten her bracelet that Neko got her. She thinks it's real diamonds but I can guarantee you they're not.
"Only now, I feel weird. Should I act different? Is everything the same?" She gives me a quizzical stare."Can I text him so soon or is that stupid and pathetic?" I ask truly overwhelmed with how much things have changed. She tilts her head exasperated.
"He's Jonas....how many times did you text yesterday alone?" June asks with her big brown eyes looking like a innocent Bambi.
"Too many to count." I say with a big smile.
"Text him that you miss him....or you love the way he smells.....or that his lips felt like velvet." June says and I giggle.
Me: Hey, since you just up and left and I am so new to this, was I a booty call?"
I bite my lip when I see the bubbles.
Jonas:Yep, I'll be over in about an hour for another booty call.
Me: Okay hurry my lips miss your lips
I send it without thinking and then I panic. I'm a idiot! Why would I write something so pathetic? Then I see more bubbles. They take so long and I yell at the phone. Who thought those bubbles would be a good idea? They are torture when you like somebody more than a friend. It feels like I am betraying many things by doing this. It also feels like the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me. I'm giddy.
Jonas: I love the way you smell.
I see more bubbles.
Like the beach.
Me: I miss you
I press send before I chicken out. The bubbles come and I wait with excitement.
I have a boyfriend.
Jonas:I miss you too
I smile at June as she reads over my shoulder.
