In Me, Tiffany Anyel [good books for 8th graders TXT] 📗

I change, I come back in, and plopped on the couch beside him.

“Are you ready?” He asked, glancing at me. “You know it baby! Let’s do this.” I say smiling. He clicks it on and hands me the popcorn.

We had been watching for a while, and I noticed we had been stealing glances at each other the entire time.

“So… did you work things out with Jenn?” I asked still looking at the screen, popping a kernel into my mouth.

He doesn’t look at me, “Yea we talked.” I glance at him, “So… you both are still together? She forgave you?”

“Yes, well, I don’t know if she has forgiven me but in time maybe…” He glances at me, “But we are not together.” He turns back to the screen.

Swallowing (not only the popcorn), but my nerves, I focus on the screen. I mean a part of me is screaming--at the top of my lungs, yes! Yes! But I couldn’t help but feel incredibly nervous now.

I mean now there was nothing standing in our way… now we could actually be… something more. Something other than what either one of us was used to--at least with each other.

Am I even girlfriend material? Now that I am finally getting my life together, was rushing into a relationship the best thing? Even if it was with Lee? And what does Lee think now? Did he even want to… try to be something more with me??

“Kate?” Realizing Lee had been trying to get my attention, I look at him, “Yea?”

“Stop.” He said smiling as he glanced at me. “Stop what?” I asked surprised. “Stop over-thinking it,” He said still smiling as he took my hand.

“I wasn’ t I was ju--“ He turned and looked at me, “It’s still just you and me. And I hope the only thing that changes about that is this…” He leaned over and lightly kisses me on the mouth. He pulled away, looking in my eyes.

Feeling my heart pound, I never leave his eyes, as I slowly lean over kissing him back. He lets out a breath, and never leaving his mouth, I sit on his lap, holding him close.

After sometime, I pull away, “How did you know I was ‘over-thinking’ it?” He smiles, bringing his face closer to my lips, “Because it’s me remember?” He kisses my lips, and looked in my eyes, “And I’m in love with you.”

I bring my face closer to his lips, “Are you now?” I bring my hands up running them through his hair, “So what do you suggest we do about that?” I ask looking in his eyes.

He smiled never leaving my eyes, “We love the hell

out of each other.” Laughing I bite his lip, “I think I can do that.”

I sit up, looking in his eyes, “By the way, do

you remember what you told me when we first met?”

He met my eyes, “That fate must have brought us together for a reason. And oh yea, if your insurance didn’t cover this, I was going to go off on somebody.”

Laughing with him, I kiss him on the mouth. He grabs my hips, pulling me off of him, “What are you doing?”

He gets up, taking my hand, “Follow me.” Without hesitating I get up, and follow him into my bedroom, “What about Dirty Dancing?”

Lee shuts the door, and walks over, throwing me on the bed, “We have the rest of our lives to watch Dirty Dancing, it can wait. But this…”

He climbs on top of me looking in my eyes, “I have been thinking about this

since the beach. Are you ready for some Lee loving?”

Laughing I look at him, “Lee loving? Really Lee?” He smiles, “Yep, you haven’t seen nothing yet, baby.”

“Is that so?” I smile, bringing him closer. This was it. Knowing it could only get better from here. I smile up at him, as he brings his face closer. And I close my eyes, waiting.


The End, no scratch that. This is definitely the beginning of my new life.
