ADY It's almost midnight, but our town and maybe even other places still don't have power. Even though the storm was terrible, Granny's radio, which must have been around my age and ran on batteries, was still working while we watched the news. The storm has completely flooded many locations, making them unreachable. The storm didn't bring wind, but it did bring water and rain that didn't stop for 9 hours. I was on the bed, looking at the candle on the table next to me. "Are you up for a chat?" I jumped out of bed when I heard a voice outside the window. The candle also went out because air from outside could get inside. Right away, I grabbed my phone, and it lit up. Then the candle lit up too. "Did I make you scared?" Standing next to the nightstand, Damon had the lighter he used to light the candle in his hand. I looked up at him. I said, "Y-yes." Damon put the lighter next to his bed. He then took my chair and sat down in front of my drawing table. In the candlelight, he loo
ADY "Jasper..." Jasper slowly turned his face away from me and sniffed my neck. I held my breath because the tip of his nose touched my neck. My entire body experienced an unearthly jolt of electricity in just a fraction of a second. I gulped. "I can smell someone in you who is not familiar to me," Jasper whispered as I felt his warm breath. He hasn't moved his face away from me. Instead, he stared at me, then slid his eyes down to my lips and back to my eyes. "You give him your first kiss." It's not a question, but a statement. I saw his jaw tighten, and his face quickly moved away from me. I had to gasp for air. "What're you talking about? Also, why do you have to get close to me to smell me?" I asked. Jasper didn't say anything, and I felt like I had a pain in my chest from how serious he looked. He looks hurt. Jasper stood up, so I followed him with my gaze until he left my room. "Jasper, come on, the... are you going home?" I heard Granny asking from downstairs. "Yes, gr
ADY The next day, school started again. Damon was no longer in my room when I woke up, and the note was stuck to my forehead. I got it right away and read it. Our project is done. Can you please follow up with the others at the school later? Bonjour! By the way, I left you some chocolate in your bag. You might want to consider eating it before the ant gets to it. I couldn't help but chuckle and swiftly snatch my bag from the table. I came across a large Ferrero Roche box. 'Sweet!' I placed the chocolate on the table with a smile on my face before heading directly to the bathroom. *** As I stepped out of the house, I was taken aback to see Jasper engaged in a conversation with the same girl he was with yesterday. I experienced yet another discomfort in my chest. I released a sigh and strolled out of the gate. "My loves!" I heard Jasper calling out to me, but I didn't respond. I quickly made my way to the corner to catch a tricycle. It wasn't until later that I realized I had b
ADY 'Oh my god, he's too close...' I couldn't take my eyes off Jasper. Even he looked right into my eyes like he could see my soul. Even his warm breath was close enough for me to feel. And that scene we were in seems like something I've only seen on TV. "Jasper, what are you doing?" I asked him, avoiding noticing my stuttering voice. Jasper suddenly smiled, and he let go of me. When he put one of his hands behind his head, I saw his ear turning red. "Did I surprise you?" Jasper said, smiling. I said nothing and just kept looking at Jasper. Jasper stopped smiling and rubbed his nose bridge with a finger. "I won't kiss you even if I want to if I know you don't want to," Jasper said. "OK, just go inside," he said. I can't believe that this kind of man still exists. He had a chance to kiss me, but he held back. For some women, it might be an insult, but for me, it has a huge effect. Instead of making me angry, he impressed me. A man like him still doesn't need to prove that "he ca
ADY "Ady, wake up." Most of the time, I don't skip classes, but what those girls did to me earlier made me not want to go to my morning classes. I'm not going to class today because of this bad guy, Damon. We were supposed to be leaving school, but it appears we will be spending the day in the library. But it's okay; the library is cold and quiet, which is why I fell asleep. First, I opened my eyes, then I rubbed the back of my hand over my lips to wipe away the spit. Then I stretched my arms out wide. I asked, "Is it already night?" Someone chuckled. "Not yet, but lunch is coming up. Come on over for lunch." Damon looked at me while he sat down next to me. That reddened my face. Stretching my arms and rubbing saliva on my lips while I slept made me look like an idiot. I forgot Damon was with me. "You're turning pink..." Damon said. "Always be yourself. You're adorable." "Cute, my feet!" I snarled at him. "Oh, you might have taken a picture of me?" "What's the point?" He asked
ADY 'One, two, three, four, five...' What Jasper did shocked me. It was only a few seconds, but I thought my bones were melting. My knee got weak, so I might have fallen if Jasper wasn't keeping me upright. Although it had been some time since our first kiss, the way he affected me was entirely different. Despite the lengthy duration of Damon's kiss, those five seconds were the most memorable. “Damn it, my love! Kissing you over and over again is something I will never find boring. I like how you responded." Jasper whispered to me. Even though I was tired, I pushed Jasper. "Uh, why are you using kisses without permission? In any case," I turned around. "So many people saw us! It's embarrassing." "We didn't make out; it was just a kiss. There's no way to call it a kiss." I asked with a frown, "What?" "They say kissing takes a long time, but all I did was smack. We seem to have drunk the same water bottle. It didn't end well." "And now you're still upset after sneaking a kiss?" L
ADY"It seems like you're feeling down because you're not receiving enough kisses, my love. Do you fancy a smooch from me? I have a knack for kissing, and I'm sure you're aware of it."I turned to Jasper, who was standing by me on the porch, overlooking the beautiful landscape."So, if I understand correctly, you're suggesting that being sad implies a shortage of kisses?" I asked Jasper with a playful giggle.Jasper had a smug expression on his face. "Certainly, exclusively for you.""Oh, you're referring to me?"Jasper reached out and gently placed his hand on my shoulder, catching me off guard. He drew me nearer to him. He had his strong arms wrapped around me, and his face was close to my ear as he stood behind me. If I make a wrong turn, a kiss might just happen."What are you up to, Jasper?" I asked him. "You. I think you're taking advantage of my kindness."Jasper let out a small laugh, but my words didn't seem to have any effect on him. "I'm right here, giving you a warm embrace
ADY “Don’t stress over Elsa’s words. If she doesn’t want you to be her friend, you don’t have to be. Hey there, feel free to be whoever you want to be. Just know that I’ll make sure of one thing for you. Okay, I’m here to listen.” Jasper’s words brought a smile to my face. He received the helmet from me. I just arrived back at our place, and it’s gotten a little late. It’s a whole different experience being home with Grandma, even though we already informed her earlier. Jasper grabbed the helmet. “Aren’t I just the sweetest?” Jasper had a big smile on his face. I chuckled. “Aw, you’re so sweet.” Wow, it seems like you’re quite popular with the ladies. “Well, it seems like there are still some things left undone.” I chose not to respond to his comment, but I greeted him with a smile. “Hey Jas, I just wanted to say thanks for tonight. That brightened my day.” “Small stuff. Feel free to open up and share anything that’s been on your mind. I’m here to lend an ear and help lighten yo
