A Mystery Novel

~ČĤÁPŤĔŔ 14~

Jacqueline cries for so long, she can barely hold herself up, at that point, she's pretty sure she's run out of tears. She almost falls but Xander catches and carries her in a way that she's facing him, like he carried Savannah earlier. Their faces are very close together.

Her cheeks warm up as he holds her tighter and closer to him. They stare at each other for a few seconds and she decides to make the first move.

She'd daydreamed about this for so long and its finally happening. She can feel his warm and soft lips on hers but still can't believe it. Every time she looked at him, she imagined just going up to him and smashing her lips onto his whether Savannah was there or not but she always feared it would ruin the weird friendship they have, especially if he didn't feel the same way about her.

Well, none of that matters now. She'd ignored her fears and gone for it and she's glad she did.

She buries her fingers in his hair and pulls him even closer to her as his luscious lips fill her with ecstasy.

Xander lays her on his bed and trails warm kisses down her neck. His hands dancing around her body, caressing her. Jacqueline is about to take his shirt off when-

"Xander," Savannah's voice comes from just outside the door and immediately, it opens.

They both turn their heads to look at her, still in each others embrace, not knowing what to do.

Savannah stares at them for a few seconds as if trying to understand what was going on. She slowly backtracks and closes the door. Her eyes fill with tears as she turns around and walks away quickly.

Xander sighs, wondering how he could be so stupid, and runs after her.

"Savannah, wait!" He takes the stairs two or three at a time. She has already gotten to the door before he finally catches her arm.

She turns around suddenly and lands a slap on his handsome face.

Miley, Jacob and Tyler who are watching with confusion gasp.

Savannah then uses her knee to hit where the sun don't shine, if you know what I mean. He groans he pain but knows he deserves worse.

"Don't you dare touch me!" She says, "I never want to speak to again!" She turns and walks out.

The others stare at each other for a few seconds.

"What the hell just happened?" Miley asks and Xander subconsciously looks up the stairs where Jacqueline is watching everything with guilt written all over here face.

"No," Miley says, "no, no, no. Don't tell me you did what I think you did."

"I.....it was a mistake."

"Damn right it was! You idiot, even Tyler wouldn't do something this dumb! What are you? Stupid?!" Miley yells, anger seeping through her, "come on Jake, let's get out of here."

Jacob simply shakes his head as he follows Miley out the front door.

"I'm so disappointed in you and that's something coming from me," Tyler says and follows the others.

Xander sighs and lays face down on the couch.

"I'm so sorry," Jacqueline says quietly, walking towards him.

"Its fine," he says into the couch.

"I feel bad, mostly because I liked it and I shouldn't because you're already with someone else, I think."
