My Little Fighter

Chapter 24

Amelia

I can't believe I was about to kiss Jace.

I mean, I can believe it because it almost happened but you know what I mean.

What would've happened if uncle Joe wasn't here ?

You would have kissed the guy you dumbass.

Why is my subconscious so mean ?

Okay I have to stop this.

As I snapped back to reality, I realized that Jace was still there looking at me as if I had two heads.

Not that people with two heads are weird, it's just that-

Stop doing this Amelia!

Am I crazy?

Probably.

"Earth to cupcake. Are you still alive?"

"Uh? Oh I'm sorry about that."

"About what exactly ?"

"About me zoning out like that."

I paused a bit after this only to realize that he might've misinterpreted what I said before.

"Oh dear god, if you thought that I said sorry because I almost kissed you then you're wrong. I think you're lovely even if sometimes you get all angry and controlling and-"

If Jace's lips weren't on mine right now, believe me when I tell you that I would still be ranting.

If you didn't catch on, I tend to do that a bit when I'm nervous.

I didn't wait a second to kiss back, but I got even more nervous because I didn't know how to kiss good.

Or even how to kiss at all.

Yup, ladies and gentlemen, Jace Falls just took my first kiss away.

At eighteen.

I know, I'm lame.

It continued for a few moments until we had to pull away to take a breath and oh my, this was the best first kiss ever.

His lips were so soft, and it was as if we both poured a lot of our emotions in. I know it wasn't just a meaningless smack because I could've sworn I felt sparks everywhere.

I thought this only happened in movies.

We stared at each other in a deafening silence, and I don't know if it was just me, but I saw this guy in a completely different light now.

This wasn't the arrogant, emotionless and reckless Jace.

He was the boy who, in a few weeks, found its way deep into my heart.

Even if I didn't know a lot about him, I care for this guy so much it scared me.

And finally, being the awkward girl that I am, I decided to break our little moment.

"Okay, I'll stop talking I promise."

He genuinely smiled at my comment, and it was the most beautiful thing ever.

"It's fine, I don't mind kissing you again." He gently answered while tucking a strand of loose hair behind my ear.

"Oh really? Thank god you said that. I was so scared that you didn't like it seeing as it is my first time."
