Dedicated to my amazing cousin. she loves Vernon...I've created a monster holy shit...
" Are you sure about this?" I ask my cousin Tahira about my outfit. She eyes me and grins.
" You look hot, don't worry about how you look. Jun will love it." She said wiggling her eyebrows at me. I roll my eyes, feeling my face get warm. Jun, my crush was Tahira's cousin on her dad's side. Today is our birthday, Tahira's and mine, and since I live with her a bunch of family is coming over to celebrate. In other words Jun will be here. In the same room as me...on my birthday.
"Would you relax? God, you're like freaking out." Tahira said getting off from her bed.
" Hey hey, I can't help it!" I reply as she laughs. I groan as she grabs my hand and drags me downstairs to say hello to everyone.
"VERNON!!!" Tahira said as she runs to tackle hug her boyfriend. I smile as I watch them then my eyes drift off to the front door. There at the door was him. Jun looking especially handsome in black jeans and a white sweater. I gulp, feeling my hands sweat.
"Stupid sweat disorder." I mutter. I wipe my hands on my on the back of my jeans.
" Hey Eun Ri." I look up to see Jun coming to hug me. Oh great. I shyly hug him back.
"Hey." I squeak. He grins pulling away.
" Happy birthday."
"Thanks...uh Tahira is over here." I said quickly walking towards my cousin. He follows me and greets her. I smile slightly watching Tahira tickle him and Jun jump at the tickles. I stifle a laugh as Tahira give me a look and I give her a dirty look.
" Don't even." I mouth. She gets a mischievous glint in her eye.
" Hey cousin, doesn't Eun Ri look amazing." Tahira asks him. My jaw drops as he looks over to me.
" Yeah, you do." He says. I strain a smile as I die internally. I can't believe she did that, I'll kill her later for that. Soon more family come but I kinda don't pay attention and just watch Jun talk with the other people. He's so hot!
" Go talk to him before I beat yo ass." Tahira whispers to me. I glare.
" No! I don't know what to say." I whisper back.
" Go now before that mofo over there gets to him first." She urges. I look and see one of his little sister's friends checking him out. That bitch... I gather up all the courage I had and walk to him. But that bitch beat me to him. She starts attempting to flirt as I burn holes to her head. Jun glances at me and watches me walk away. Tahira give me a sad look as Vernon had his arm around her. I shake my head, going to the back yard and sitting on the porch. I silently look at the sunset. How could that bitch get in the way. It's supposed to be my birthday and she totally stole my spot light. Suddenly, the back door opens and someone sits next to me.
" You okay?" I hear a deep voice ask. I bite my lip nervously as I face Jun.
" Y-yeah, I just wanted to get out." I lie. No way was I telling him the truth.
" You sure? You kinda seemed disappointed." He said. I sigh.
" I-its just that...that girl seemed into you.." I say quietly.
" Really? I just see her as my little sister's annoying friend." Jun said looking at me.
" Ooh..."
" Why would you think that?" He asks.
"...because I..like you..." I said under my breath, hoping he didn't catch what I said. I feel like my heart was going to explode out of my chest. But he did hear me.
" You like me?"Jun asks. I nod slowly feeling my face go up in flames.
" I like you too." I whip my head around and look at him with my eyes wide.
" You do?" I ask him.
" Yeah. You're really nice and fun. And really beautiful." He said. I shyly smile and he sits closer to me. My heart pounds as Jun leans closer to me. I don't know how to kiss so I just stay put as his lips brush against mine. I feel him smile as he deepens the kiss.
"HEY NO MAKING OUT ON THE PORCH!" I hear Tahira scream from inside. I pull away shyly as Jun gives her a dirty look. Jun smiles at me as he helps me up and we walk back inside hand in hand. Tahira give me a wide grin as I stick my tongue out at her. The party goes on and we dance. Jun shows me how to dance, and I hope I didn't embarrass myself. Then the family sings happy birthday to me and Tahira and some of them go home. As the adults keep talking we decide to watch a movie. On one corner of the couch Tahira was cuddling with Vernon and Jun and I were awkwardly sitting together. We start watching The Sixth Sense. I was caught off guard when a jump scare came on and I jumped. I hear Jun chuckle slightly as he wraps his arm around me. I feel myself blush as I lay my head against his chest. We continued watching the movie and then Jun had to leave and so did Vernon. As the adults make their way to their car, Jun pulls me aside.
" I'll see you tomorrow? We could..hang out." He said.
" Yeah, I'd like that." I said smiling. He grins before planting a kiss on my lips.
" Goodnight."
" Night."
This was by far the best birthday ever.
