Falling For Jackson Again ✓

"Jackson," I shook him gently, hoping he'd move so I could breathe again.

But then he surprised me.

I thought he'd lean back, but he didn't.

Instead, his hand moved across my waist, pulling me closer to him. I wanted to protest, but I couldn't move.

The cold I felt moments ago vanished as if it had never been there when I felt his breath on my neck.

His slow breaths tickled my skin, making me hold my breath. His lips brushed against my neck in a silent gesture.

What was he doing?!

*******************

Mariah Smith, known as Mia, has always had a secret crush on her best friend, Jackson Yung, since they were seven years old. Despite his round figure and strange love for spinach, Mia found him adorable. She kept her feelings to herself, never daring to confess.

But when they turned twelve, Jackson's family faced financial difficulties and had to move back to Asia. Mia lost contact with him and somehow forgot about him over time.

Five years later, Mia is almost eighteen and living a normal high school life. She yearned for some excitement in her boring life.

What she didn't expect was for her ex-best friend to come back into her life, looking completely different from how she remembered and somehow bringing back sparks she once hidden deep within all these years.

Updates on Wednesday.
