Suddenly she pulled back from me, her eyes wide with shock as she pushed on my chest, prompting me to let her go.
That was the best damn kiss I have ever had in my entire life..it was as if my soul were humming with excitement.
“I..I didn’t mean to do that!” She rushed out, the slight rejection hurting my feelings as I stared down at her even more intently.
“I think you did Johnnie..and I think you will even more the next time.” I stated smoothly, letting her know there in fact will be a next time..she better prepare herself.
“N..Next time?” She sputtered, making me smile as I saw someone approaching us from outside.
“Hey! Come on! What’s the hold up?” Alder suddenly came into the house, making Jo whirl around before stomping away from me.
Was she mad now? I couldn’t help but watch in amusement as she pouted her lips and headed for the door.
Then I saw Alder slide his arms around her shoulder..his eyes gleaming down at her as he pulled her closer to his side.
“Come on Jo, you can sit by me.” He stated happily and I never wanted to beat my brother’s ass so badly in my life.
I hate how touchy he is with her..how he looks at her like she is the greatest thing in the damn world.
I mean..she is..but to me..not to him.
“You coming Cas?” He yelled back towards me, a mischievous grin pulling at his lips as I knew he could tell I was annoyed..freaking jerk.
“Yep, be right there.” I added through gritted teeth..this was going to be fucking great..now I had to try not to kick my brother’s ass..you think that would be easy..but I can tell he was going to make it very very hard.
(Johnnie)
I glanced across the table, my eyes now meeting Caspian’s as those blue orbs sucked me right in..is it just me, or has he somehow gotten even sexier?
I can’t believe I kissed him..again..I don’t know what the hell is going on with me! Anna is going to be so pissed that I already gave in that easily..she is right..I am falling fast and I need to slow the hell down.
Caspian has treated me like shit for so freaking long…I need some answers before I do anything else. I need to know why he stopped talking to me and began shutting me out. Why did he start to hate me?
My eyes wandered up to Caspian’s shaggy brown hair, strands of gold shimmered in the sun as I followed the curly locks down to his cheeks. He had such a sharp masculine face..I swear he looks like he should be in his mid-twenties.
Today he wore a light blue polo shirt with beige shorts. The tattoos on his neck were visible for everyone to see and I couldn’t help but admire the swirling patterns. One that drew my attention was the Hockey stick on his arm with his jersey number on it.
“Jojo, did you hear me?” My mom’s voice suddenly cut through making me snap my eyes toward her as I cleared my throat awkwardly. That’s when I noticed Ben was glaring across the table..not at me though, at Caspian.
In fact..everyone was acting weird since we left the house…Caspian has been shooting his brother dirty looks since the whole ride over and Milo pretty much kept his head down this entire time.
I just want to go back to the house and crawl into my bed..or go to the beach..yeah, that sounds better.
“Sorry..what did you say?” I responded back to my mom, feeling embarrassed for ogling Caspian so openly..I’m sure people could tell..Robin definitely had a hint of a smile on her face.
“After lunch, I want to go look for your dress for the wedding reception.” My mom repeated, her blonde hair blowing in a warm breeze that blew by. She had on a white dress with a halter top and huge sunglasses resting on top of her head.
Dave was holding her hand as he sat there quietly, sipping on the drink the server had just brought over.
“Oh, yeah, sure..that sounds good.” I responded awkwardly..I keep forgetting about the wedding..well, maybe I am just pushing it out of my mind.
I glanced back up, seeing Caspian was now texting on his phone as a pang of jealousy rushed through me..could he be texting Ava? I don’t know why I feel this way..and I don’t like it..not at all.
Suddenly I felt my phone vibrate, making me reach for my bag.
I pulled my cell phone out, thinking it must be Anna as I opened the screen and froze.
From Caspian King: I can’t stop thinking about that kiss.
I reread the message like fifty freaking times I swear, unsure of what to even say as I felt my heart race and my palms turn sweaty.
He..he was thinking about it? Did he feel what I felt too?
To Caspian King: Caspian, I think we should stay away from one another. I don’t know what game you are playing but I don’t want to be a part of it.
I responded…after the kiss and on the way over here, I kept running through everything in my mind.
Why would Caspian suddenly change? Why would he do a complete 180 and all of a sudden like me? It didn’t make sense..so I started to think..what if this was a game for him? What if he wanted me to admit my feelings and turn around saying he knew I was pathetic and desperate for attention.
That has to be the answer to all of this..he probably made a bet with Milo about it or something.
I placed my phone down, avoiding Caspian’s burning gaze as I felt my phone vibrate a few more times.
I tried to fight the urge to check it..but when I felt Caspian’s foot slide against my leg, I couldn’t help but jump.
“You okay Jo?” Alder asked before turning to look at me, his eyes glancing down as I nodded my head adamantly.
“Yeah, fine.” I smiled, then turned to Caspian before shooting him a glare.
“Check your phone.” He mouthed, flashing his eyes to my phone and back up.
I let out an annoyed sigh before grabbing my phone just as the server came back. I ordered a turkey club sandwich and glanced down at my phone in my lap.
From Caspian King: I’m not playing games, Johnnie..I know I have been a dick before, but I think we need to talk.
From Capsian King: Everything I have said to you since coming here has been true.
From Caspian King: And I will fucking prove that.
Just then another text came in.
From Caspian King: Now look up at me, stop trying to ignore me, and for fucks sake..stop letting my brother put his fucking hands all over you..it’s driving me insane.
