For all the July Apple Pies fans out there who celebrate Forth of July (and even for the ones who don't, but are still JAP fans) a short gift:
Ryder began to slowly push closer to her and her rapidly beating heart. But Nora couldn't take it anymore. The boy was taking way too long.
So she put her hand on the back of his neck and brought his lips to her, full force.
Ryder gasped in surprise. And then he laughed as he kissed her back.
When they pulled apart, both of them were smiling groggily at each other, fireworks exploding up above their heads.
"Happy Second Forth of July," he whispered.
She smiled. "Happy Second Forth of July," she replied.
And then Dun and Mimi appeared to ruin the moment. Or make it even better.
"Zhùshǒu! Xiǎotōu! Wǒ yào jiào jǐngchá le!" Dun yelled as he run after Mimi.
Ryder turned to Nora. "What did he say?"
"I think he said something about a thief and calling the police. Which does kind of make sense."
"He's getting good at this Chinese thing," Ryder whispered weirdly. When Nora turned to look at why, she realized he was gazing intently at her. "And so are you."
"Well, I try," she said with a smug smirk.
"Want to go get some apple pie?" he teased.
She grimaced. "Oh, god no." Then she smirked. "I'd rather kiss you again."
That was all it took for him to lean forward and bring his lips to her.
Dun Dictionary:
"Stop! Thief! I'll call the police!"
