Chapter 79 Sappy

"So..." I muttered silently to break the silence, "It's a nice weather we're having, huh?" Jay raised an eyebrow but didn't comment about my lame start. It's a good thing that he kept silent about it and didn't make fun of me since I'm the one making the effort here. "So..." I trailed off, "Are you comfortable? Are you feeling fine? Are you okay?" He simply nodded his head. "So..." I cleared my throat, "I'll go back to my room now." "It's not your room." He said, "It's my room since it's my house." "And he speaks!" I gasped mockingly, putting a hand on my mouth for exaggeration, "I thought you were a statue!" Smiling, he stood and walked towards me. "Well aren't you a smarty pants?" "Uh no." I scoffed, taking a step back as he take a step closer. "Sergeant Sarcasm will do." I groaned silently when my back hit the refrigerator. I can now smell his mouth wash; that's how close he really is. "You know Riles, you're pretty." ".... thank you?" Suddenly, he took a step closer making our forehead touch. "But you're really really beautiful up close." I chuckled, "Then I guess I should always keep you at this distance then." "Nah." "Hmm?" He moved his head lower, making our nose touch. "I prefer for us to be more closer." And without another word, he claimed my lips with his. Closing my eyes, I immediately wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. "I would hate to interrupt, but I need to get something from the fridge." My eyes opened and I abruptly pushed Jay, making him fall on his butt. "Emily!" Jay's mother, Emily, laughed whole heartedly and walked towards me. "Excuse me Riley." I blushed furiously and took a step away from the refrigerator. I covered my lips with my left thumb and I watched silently as Jay stood up from the floor and walked towards me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer, making me dig my cheeks in his chest and inhale his scent. "You guys seem really cozy." Emily smirked while pulling out a bottle of milk. "But I truly advise you to do... whatever you were doing, somewhere else. " She closed the refrigerator's door. "We do eat here." I stayed silent and tried pulling away from his grasp when he only tightened his grip on me. "It's all right, really." We watch her laugh and close the door behind her as she walked out with a knowing smile. "That was awkward." I muttered silently. I slightly jumped when Jay chuckled raspily while pulling me closer to him. We were about to continue what we were doing when knocks were heard on the door with Coby shouting, "NOT IN THE KITCHEN!" I immediately pulled away from Jay and walked out of the kitchen, watching Coby's back disappear when she went upstairs. Arms were immediately wrapped around my waist as Jay hugged me from behind. Groaning, I slapped his hands away and faced him. "Stop touching me so freely willy." His eyes widened, obviously amused with what I said. "You weren't complaining when I was kissing you not too long ago." "That's the thing." I frowned, "We're not together, Emerson. And I'm not that kind of girl." He raised an eye brow and the amuse look on his face didn't leave. "We're not?" "We're not." I nodded. "How come we're not together? You were literally enjoying our kiss earlier." "You haven't asked me to be your girlfriend, Jay." He smirked, "You didn't deny the fact that you enjoyed our kiss." "Jay." Chuckling, he raised both of his arms up and said, "Fine. Fine. Fine. Riley, be my girlfriend." Scoffing, I crossed my arms and shook my head. "Seriously?! That's not how it works." "Oh?" He asked, "You want the sappy balloons with party poppers and stuff?" "No." I gagged, "That's disgusting." "Then tell me, Riley Langston." He smirked, "How does it work?" "Well..." I started, "You should be serious and at least formal." "Mm-hmm?" "Yeah." I nodded, "And you must know what you're saying, like you actually prepared it." His smile suddenly drop. What? He took my arms that are crossed from my chest and puts it in front of us where he is now holding both of my hands. He looked at me straight in the eyes and muttered the words I never thought I'll ever hear coming from him. "Riley Langston, I'm serious and is now trying my best to act formal." He gave me his million dollar smile, "Please help me end my torture by being my girlfriend." Smiling, I squeezed his hand and told him, "You're short speech isn't prepared, Emerson." He squeezed it back and whispered, "It actually is. Whatever I am currently saying right now is coming from my heart who has been preparing for this very day." He looked at me straight in the eyes and asked, "Please be mine?" "Be yours?" "Yes." He nodded, "As I am yours." I ruffled his hair with a chuckle, completely breaking the mood. "Being sappy does not suit you." He smiled, "But it makes your heart flutter so it is worth it." I rolled my eyes and smiled at him. "You're fine being my boyfriend even if there are people who constantly want me dead?" "I'll even protect you." "You're fine being my boyfriend even if my brother will hate you?" "He loves me too much, he won't. But if he does, then I'll do everything to gain his trust." Smiling, I took a step closer to him and asked, "You're fine being my boyfriend even if I was completely obsessed with you before?" His eyes widened and shock flashed through it; which scared me since he may now find me creepy. "Before?" He asked, "You're not conpletely obsessed with me now?" With a sigh, I chuckled and shook my head, "Let me rephrase that." I smiled, "You're fine being my boyfriend even if I am completely obsessed with you?" "Totally." He smiled, "After all, I am completely obsessed and completely crazy over you Riley Langston." I grinned at him foolishly, "Then let us be the crazy and obsessed couple there will ever be." "That sounds weird." He muttered, his lips lowering near mine. "We are weird." With a happy grin, he laughed. "That we are." And with that, we kissed.
