Forgotten

Chapter 9

We walked back to the party. I didn’t care anymore that it was out of hand. I just wanted to enjoy myself with Jacin. That kiss had been amazing and it was only the beginning of us. I felt so happy walking into the party area holding his hands. I saw a few people from school staring at us. My guess is that they aren’t us to me being with a guy unlike most girls at school I haven’t dated before.

“I’m glad to see that you showed up.” Liara said being the protective friend. She is giving so many mixed signals at the shop she told him about the party and invited him on my behave and now she is giving him the eye, trying to protect me. I gave her a look of ‘what the hell!’ She just ignored me.

“Of course I came, I wanted to see Alysson again.” Jacin answered not phased by her at all. Hearing him saying it mad me instantly smile. He came for me. I felt so giddy.

“You are fine in my books. The two of you should enjoy yourselves…not to much though!” I felt the blush crept on my cheeks. I can’t believe she just said that. She laughed as she walked away from us. I will have to get her back for that one at some point in life. I looked at Jacin from the corner of my eye to see him smiling.

“I like her she seems to care about you.” He said when he notice me watching him I was relieved that he didn’t take offense. I took his hand and led him over to the table where we got everything we needed to make smores then we went over to the bonfire. We placed our marshmallows near the fire when they were nice and melted we placed them on the biscuits and pushed them flat between the biscuits. I bought biscuits that had chocolate on them so that the marshmallow would melt the chocolate. I took a large bite the chocolate coming out the ends and smearing on my lips and my hands. I was about to lick it of when I felt Jacin’s finger swiping at it. I looked up at him to see what his next move would be, would he lick his finger. It would seriously be hot. I was watching that finger of him so intently. Which is why I was so socked when he smeared the chocolate on my nose. I sat there shocked staring at him, he burst out laughing.

I couldn’t contain my own laughter at the moment. The idea that he should lick it of my nose. What is it with me and wanting him to lick something. He wiped the chocolate of my nose of with his hand to my disappointment. I need to sort out my thoughts. Thoughts like these are weird for me.

“Tell me about yourself? What were you doing by the docks?” Jacin asked me. Weirdly enough the song from ‘King and I’ popped in my head - getting to know you, getting to know all about you

“I was working. I’m an online reviewer. I review food in the afternoon.” I told him since that is what he asked specifically, I don’t really know how to do an elevator pitch of my life, If I do it might sound very depressing. I don’t want to go there tonight.

“But you are rich, just look at this party and all the things you bought.” Again with the rich girl thing. I need to make him understand.

“My father is rich. I like working, but I don’t get paid for it. So yes I still use my fathers money. What about you what do you do?” I asked to get the attention away from me.

“I have multiple jobs. I am a dock worker and I work on a tourist boat. I lost my other job when I went to drop you at the hotel, but I’ve found a new one at a coffee shop.” I made him loose his job that day. Why didn’t he just tell me he had to go to his job. He offered to give me a drive.

“I can see you are overthinking to many emotions just flashed across your face. It wasn’t your fault it was my choice.” He re-assured me. I appreciated that.

“I’m glad you already found a new job.” I told him still feeling slightly guilty, but since he has found a new job, there is no harm.

“I hit the pavement searching every single day and in the afternoon I went looking for you.” This is how our lives change. I’ll never have to do something like that. I will always have money to do whatever I need.

“I still can’t believe you looked for me everyday. I was at that path as well, we must have missed each other by minutes. It’s so strange that we ran into each other by accident when both of us set out to meet and were at the same place every day.” It’s weird how the universe works.

“I’m just glad I got to meet you again. I can’t imagine missing out on this moment with you.” He just had the right word. I don’t know how he knows just what to say to make my heart skip a beat.

“I’m enjoying this moment as well.” I blushed looking into the fire to try and hide it. I’ve never blushed this much.

“Tell me about your life, tell me about your family?” Not a conversation I want to have. He already know that they are difficult, but I don’t want to go into detail on our first date…is this our first date.

“Liara is my bed friend. We attend * prep together. It’s a very prestigious high school. Liara worked her ass off to get in. I got in because of my father. She also goes with me to review place. She is my ride. She takes me wherever I want to go. She wasn’t with me on the day we met because she had a tutor going to her house. We’ve know each other since primary school. We are really close. She is my family. Then their is my dad and my stepmother Lyssa.” I told him focusing on the family I created instead of the family I have.

“You had a lot to say about Liara. Not so much about your actual family.” He encouraged me, when I didn’t want to be encouraged.

“My father works a lot. I see him at breakfast and at dinner, if I eat dinner. My mom died when I was younger and my father married Lyssa a couple of years ago. We aren’t close. She doesn’t like me much and tries to make my life difficult. Which is why I do so many reviews. It keeps me out the house.” I gave a simple explanation of my family life. It was already more than I wanted him to know.

“Now I can keep you out of the house.” He threw out there, letting me know there will be future plans for us.

“How about you. Are you close with your family?” I asked him as I started to make us some more smores.

“I don’t have a family. I was an orphan. It’s only me, myself and I.” I was about to say something when I saw the look on his face, the last thing he wanted was sympathy. So what did I do I shoved the smore in his face. He opened his mouth before it crashed against his lips. He took a big bite. I pulled away after the bite. He grabbed my hand before it could go to far and brought it back to his mouth for another bite. I definitely didn’t mind it.

“Should I be worried that that guy keeps staring at us.” I looked in the same direction to see Vance staring at us

“Oh he is no one, you don’t have to worry about him at all…wait no I didn’t mean it like that. I didn’t mean to brush him of like that. I just meant nothing is going on between us and there never was. He asked me out, I guess, but I declined. I haven’t ever dated anyone. No one has caught my eye that is.” I explained quickly hating how much I was babbling.

“You’ve never dated? I find that hard to believe. You are gorgeous….”

“I’ve never dated, people have asked I just have never wanted to, until you.” I told him before he could finish his sentence.

“Wait was that your first kiss?” I blushed redder than I’ve blushed the whole night. I didn’t even think that he would figure that out. Gosh I feel so silly. He grabbed my face and kissed me again, in front of everyone. I couldn’t believe he did it, but it was a perfect kiss. It was slow and sensual. I was blushing, but I was always heated up by the fire. I must look so romantic
