Chapter 25

He snapped he head up to look at me with shock plastered on his face. "Y-You heard me?"

"Well duh....why you think I said I love you too? Like you don't see people waking up, saying 'I love you'. Well unless they are married....then that's different.." I rambled on and as everything that just happened, I finally realized what I said. Looking into the dark blue eyes filled with mixed emotions, "Now what?" I asked softly.

He leaned forward, so close to my face, his minty breath fanned over my lips, "This." Henry answered.

Then finally he closed the gap as his soft lips pressed against mine. At first, everything was slow and passionate, and slipped his hands around my waist as I brung my arms around his neck, bringing our bodies closer. Somehow, he ended on top but I didn't mind.

In fact, I was enjoying this.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, making us break away, breathless.

I quickly adjusted myself as Henry groaned in annoyance and went over to open the door.

"What?" He sneered to other person.

"I just wanted to see her! No need to get all mad and all!" I heard Elizabeth yell. Then she must've pushed past him because he stumbled back a little.

She walked over to me with clothes in her hands and a bright smile but looked strained too.

"Hey Eli, what's up?" I asked.

"Huh, Eli, I like it! But anyways, I brought you clothes since I figured you don't want to be in, that." She pointed to the hospital gown I had on.

I laughed, "Thanks, but hey, you okay?"

She handed me my clothes as she waved her hand dismissively, "I'm alright, just tired." Then she turned back to Henry who was still standing there with his arms crossed over his chest. "You, need to leave." She started to pushed him out.

"W-What, why?"

"Because....... Joy needs to change and I need to talk to her-"

"But-"

"Alone." Then she slammed the door in his face and turned back to me.

I just laughed as I started to get dressed, which was a simple shirt and jeans.

Then there was another knock and Eli got up and started shouted, "I swear Henry, if it's you- oh, hey Sam!"

Sam walked in and concern was etched on her her face, "Oh my god, Joy what happened? Are you okay?" She ran over to my side.

"Yes Sam, I'm fine, it was just another fever." I assured her.

Relief flooded in as she let out a breath. "Okay good."

"So...." Eli started as she wiggled her eyebrows and brung a chair in front of me, "what was going on before I came in?"

I felt my cheeks burn as I stuttered and avoided eye contact, "N-Nothing."

"What? Did I disturb your make out session with him? Maybe that's why Henry was so mad? Hmm?" Eli leaned closer.

"Oh my gosh!!! What happened?? Tell me everything!" Sam squealed.

"Well, we were just kissing....and um, maybe he admitted he loves me..." I mumbled.

"WHAT!?!?" They both screeched.
