♥Chapter 22: ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ ꜱʜᴇ ɢᴏᴇꜱ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴀʟʟ♥

✿Kennedy✿

I grow breathless with Jake's mouth still pressing against mine. One of his hands grip my waist, the other holds my neck.

Strange noises come out of my mouth with my legs straddling Jake's form on the couch.

He keeps kissing me and I try to keep up with my eyes shut tight.

After a moment, I can't take it anymore and pull away, taking in a huge gulp of breath.

"Oh mama," I breathe out, my chest heaving up and down.

Jake leans back on the couch, his hands gripping my sides with a small smirk on his face.

"I'm eventually gonna stop breathing if you keep kissing me like that," I warn.

I'm not even kidding.

Since we got back from school, he's been following me around the house for some unknown reason and randomly taking my face and kissing me.

It's like he's obsessed.

"Kissing you how?" Jake questions, raising an eyebrow.

"Like that, how you did right now," I answer.

"I think I forgot," He says, hiding a smirk and leaning forward towards my lips again. "Wanna remind me?"

I push his shoulders back. I do like kissing him, but I seriously need to breathe. I climb down his lap and stand up.

Jake narrows his eyes at my actions.

"Wanna go out somewhere?" I ask, doing some random jumping movements with my feet. I have too much energy right now.

"No," Jake grumbles.

"Please?" I pout.

"No."

"I'll die if I stay in the house any longer."

"I'm not in the mood," He says.

I glare. "You're not in the mood for anything." I huff.

"It's you who's not in the fucking mood for what I am." Jake glares back.

"Oh, what mood are you in that I'm not?" I ask, crossing my arms against my chest.

A look crosses his face as his eyes rake up and down my body. A smirk lifts the corner of his mouth, and he just stares at me with those eyes.

A flat look comes to my face, "You're horny?"

He nods.

"Seriously?" I exclaim, "How are you always horny?"

"It's your fucking fault." He states.

"My fault?" I widen my eyes, "How is it my flipping fault?"

"You always give me a fucking hard-on." He argues.

"A what now?" I give him a confused look.

"A more intense horny moment." He replies.

I face-palm, "You can't be serious."

"I am very fucking serious," He reaches forward and yanks my arm until my body was on top of his again.

"I wanna kiss you so fucking bad." He says and presses his lips to mine.

"You were kissing me like seconds ago!" I exclaim.

"And?" He questions, his lips moving to my jaw. His lips reach the spot near my ear, and I feel his teeth on my skin.

A shudder goes down my body and my eyes close. No one's ever kissed me there before.

He continues kissing me all over my neck with his hands pulling at my hair-I'm gonna go bald. My hands clutch at his shoulders to keep myself up and alive.

The sound of a phone beeping grabs my attention and I open my eyes.

I move to get off Jake's lap to see my phone, but his hold tightens on me, his mouth still on the side of my neck.

"Jake, my phone beeped," I say.

"Mmm," his mouth moves down, kissing the skin above my collarbone.

"I need to go see it," I say, trying to pry his hands off my hair while trying not to faint with his mouth sucking on the spot above my collarbone.

"No, you don't." He murmurs.

"Jake, I don't get texts or phone calls on my phone like...ever."

Does he not get how excited I am from hearing my phone beep?

"Mmm." He seemed to ignore my words.

I sigh and grab his face with both hands, jerking it back, away from me.

A big scowl comes on his face at that. I pat his cheek twice before hopping off his lap and walking into the kitchen where I left my phone.

I look at the texts I got from an Eve.

Who's Eve?

Oh right!

The girl who spoke to me this morning.

Eve: hey, it's me eve

Eve: was wondering if you were free to hang out tonight???

Eve: text me back xo

Without even me knowing, an excited squeal comes out of my mouth and I dash into the living and onto Jake's lap, shoving the phone to his face. He catches me by the waist before I body-slam into him.

"What the fuck?" He frowns as I hit his nose accidentally with my phone.

"Eve just texted me!" I scream, "She wants to hang out. With me!"

Jake stares at the phone screen before furrowing his eyebrows at my wiggling form on his lap.

"That's good?" He questions.

"It is!" I exclaim, "I never get texts from people who want to hang out with me!"

A small amused smile lifts his face. "Okay."

"Oh my god, what should I wear?" I ask with a look of horror.

He doesn't say anything.

"She thinks your hot by the way," I say, and his eyebrows raise. "Yeah, she thinks that of Corey too."

"What do you think?" He asks, his thumb moving in a circular motion on my waist.

"About Eve?" I ask.

"No."

I furrow my eyebrows, "About Corey?"

He glares, "About me."

"What about you?" I ask and he sighs.

"Do you think I'm hot?" He asks.

"Uh..." I look at his chiselled face, full lips, deep sea-green eyes. My eyes travel down to his broad shoulders and slim stomach where I know he has those delicioso abs.

I nod, "Very."

He nods back.

"What about me?" I ask.

"You?"

I nod.

"You're fucking hot." He states without even examining me as I did to him.

A blush shoots up my face and I nod, "Okay."

Before he can say anything, I bolt up, "I need to get ready and-oh, I need to text Eve back."

He gives an unhappy look, "You're really going? Now?"

I nod, "Yeah, why?"

"I'm coming too then." He states, standing up and I scramble to wrap my legs around his torso to not fall off his lap. His hands come under my butt, holding me.

"But you said you weren't in the mood to go out." I remind him.

"I am now." He states.

I grin excitedly, "Okay!"

I pat his shoulders, "Now carry me to my room."

✯✯✯

I laugh as Eve tells another one of her stories about her dog. I've always wanted a dog, but my parents were afraid of them.

Eve and I are walking through the mall and she's actually really fun.

Jake's hand tightly clasps mine as he trails behind me looking like the most bored person in the entire mall. It's like I'm dragging a dead wooden stick behind me on a leash.

He's been grumpy since we got here.

Eve tried to say hello, but Jake only nodded and went back to his blank stare.

Eve talked about her boyfriend a lot too. A little too much. He sounds really nice.

"Can we fucking leave?" Jake grumbles in my ear, sending shivers down my spine.

"You've already asked me that seven times," I reply.

"I'm hoping you change your fucking answer."

"My answer is still the same," I say, and he narrows his eyes going back to looking bored and glum.

"Is he alright?" Eve whispers to me, looking at Jake.

I wave it off, "He's just bored."

Eve chuckles. "It's every guy in the mall."

We continue walking and I spot a small cute little koala plush toy.

"Jake, look at how cute is that," I say, making a face of 'awe'.

Jake looks at where I'm looking.

He blinks.

Only blinks!

I sigh, shaking my head, "You're impossible."

"I wanna fucking leave." He starts whining again.

"Why do you wanna leave so bad?" I furrow my eyebrows at him, "I mean come on, this is a flipping mall! Look at how many people are here."

"I hate people," He glares.

"What do you wanna do then?" I ask.

"I wanna kiss the fuck out of you." He states blankly.

A small squeak comes from beside us and I turn my head to see Eve red in the face clearly witnessing Jake's blunt words.

I shoot her an awkward smile and she looks away pretending to admire a dress on a mannequin.

I turn towards Jake with a scowl, "Don't be so inappropriate in public."

He furrows his eyebrows, "I wanna kiss you. What's fucking inappropriate in that?"

"Everything!" I exclaim, "The way you say it even makes me feel horny."

A smirk appears on his face, "Oh really?"

"Yes, now shush and let me enjoy my time here," I say, pulling up the thin strap of my summer dress that keeps slipping off my shoulder, "you know how many times I've been to the mall?" I ask.

He shakes his head.

"Even me." I answer, "I've almost never been to the malls except for maybe six-seven times."

"Why not?" Eve asks and I look at her.

I didn't even notice when did she come beside me. I hope it wasn't when I was telling Jake that even I was getting horny.

I rarely get horny and when I'm horny I crave Kit Kats.

"My mom and dad didn't let me go out much on my own," I reply, "They didn't trust me with the air." I chuckle.

Eve gives a look of confusion, "Meaning?"

"I was in the worst stage of my asthma when I was young," I explain. "So pretty much any kind of unfamiliar air or something like that had me stabbing my lungs. Not exactly stabbing but the pain was like stabbing. Like you know? Really intense pain where you feel like dying and you feel like the Angel of death is finally coming to get—you get me?"

Eve frowns in confusion, "You have asthma?"

I blink, "You didn't know...?"

A weird look comes on her face. I can't quite decipher it, but it was as if she's...judging me?

I really hope not.

I wanna make good friends.

"No, I didn't." She says and to my relief, a smile comes on her face. "At least your better now that's what matters, right?"

I smile, "Yeah."

A few more minutes in the mall and my feet start to hurt.

The moment I tell Jake that, he makes me say goodbye to Eve and pulls me towards his car.

I move to open the door of Jake's car but before my hand can reach the door, he grabs my arms and whirls me around until my back presses against the side of the car with a hand holding my neck.

"Wha-?"

Jake's mouth shushes me as his lips presses against mine in a fierce kiss that make my eyes widen and for my chest to combust. His lips are hard and fast on mine making it difficult for me to keep up.

One of his hands snakes around my waist pulling me against him and my own hands go around his neck.

The kiss would have continued with me fainting and admitted to the ICU if it weren't for a group of boys passing by us, hooting and whistling.

I break from the kiss, pulling back with flushed cheeks and looking down, letting my hair curtain my face as the group of boys walk past us.

Jake glares hard at them, looking unhappy.

Once the boys pass, I put my hands on my warm face and groan loudly.

"You're gonna make everyone think inappropriate of me," I tell Jake.

"Let them think what they fucking want," He says before pulling open the door and letting me sit inside.
