Reaching You (Book 1 and 2)

Chapter Twenty Four

I couldn't believe it. Oh my gosh! Did that thing happen? For real? OMG!

I was squealing and rolling in my bed thinking of what happened.

"He's my boyfriend now! He's mine!" I was singing and giggling like an idiot but I didn't care. No one was watching me anyway.

"He kissed me!" I squealed. "Nothing beats a first kiss." I giggled.

"ANA! SHUT UP! WE'RE TRYING TO SLEEP!" I heard my mom yelled.

"Sorry mom!" I said and fixed my bed. I positioned myself looking at the ceiling but I couldn't sleep because I couldn't stop thinking of what just happened. Maybe I was going crazy but who cares?

We had gone to trips and visited the places we talked about before. We were singing and laughing while we drove to places. We ate ice cream and joked about vanilla. He also helped me with my job interviews. I refused my father's offer to be her secretary and looked for a job as a teacher instead.

It was a very nice afternoon, we were in my room and he decided to throw questions at me. He was acting like he was the interviewer.

"Which came first? Chicken or the egg?" he asked.

I laughed. "Hey, what kind of question is that? I know we both like chicken but I don't think they would ask questions like that."

"Well, I'm the interviewer; you don't have the right to question me." He said, grinning at me. What an actor.

"Fine! Fine!" I said then looked at him straight in the eye. "None. That's my answer."

He raised an eyebrow at me. "None?"

"Yes because a circle doesn't have a beginning." I said and he laughed.

"I remember that line from Harry Potter!" he said, laughing like an idiot. "That's what Luna Lovegood answered when she was asked about the phoenix and the fire. You're a nerd, baby." He said while laughing.

I raised my left eyebrow, grinning. "Says the guy who goes to comic-cons." I said and we laughed.

"Wait. My résumé!" I said then grabbed my laptop and started typing. He slid next to me, enclosing me in a back hug. His hands were on my tummy and his legs were lying beside me, I was in the middle of those fine legs. His chin was resting on my shoulder. I shudder. I wasn't used to this position and I was ticklish – very ticklish.

He kissed my neck and a shiver ran down my neck.

"Hey! Stop that!" I said, typing. He was laughing. Crazy!

He kissed the skin under my ear and I shivered once more.

"Stop! I'm busy." I said.

"No, I'm not gonna stop." He said, pouting like a baby.

"Behave, will you?" I said and I saw him grinned at me. Oh my goodness, this kid.

He started kissing the back of my neck to my shoulder and the sensation was driving me crazy. Oh my gosh!

"I said stop!" I jumped out of the bed and I saw him grinning. "I can't focus."

He laughed. "Oh sorry, I got that effect on girls."

I rolled my eyes. "You're crazy."

"Crazy for you." I felt my cheeks burned. This man was driving me insane. I glared at him.

"You're so beautiful, baby." He said; climbing out of the bed then walked towards me.

"I'm going to ask mom – I mean your mom, for snacks." He winked then kissed me on my forehead. "Laters, baby."

I sat on the floor after he left the room. My good gracious, I was losing my mind.

The next morning, he picked me up and drove to the school where I was going to be interviewed.

"I couldn't stay and wait for you. I need to go to work." He said.

"It's okay, I can do this."

"I know you can. I trust you." He said and I tiptoed to kiss him on the lips.

"Laters, baby." I said and I saw him grinned. I giggled. It was so cute.

She texted me after her interview, telling me that she did it. She got the job. I smiled. I knew she could do it, she was smart and humble. It was very easy for people to like her... and to love her.

"This calls for celebration, then."

I hurried to go home after my shift and planned how we could celebrate this.

"Bro! Bro! Bro!" I heard Tristan said as he entered the house.

"What?"

"Do you know that there will be a meteor shower tonight? This could be a good night for stargazing." He said. "I wish Carrie is here."

"Can we go to the cabin tonight? I'll bring Ana with me." I said.

"Oh yeah sure bro."

"Thanks mate." It was perfect. I called Annabelle to say that there would be a meteor shower tonight and we could go there and celebrate. She was so excited about it and agreed to come with me.

I picked her up and she was smiling broadly. She was wearing a loose beige shirt tucked in a white short. I saw her collarbone; I gasped and looked somewhere else. I ended up looking at her legs; I gulped and looked at her face instead. I was sweating. It was so hot in here.

"I'm so excited! OMG! This is gonna be my first time." She said while tying her hair into a bun. I wanted to bite that exposed neck. She was so sexy, effortlessly sexy.

"Congratulations baby for getting the job. I knew you'd get it."

She looked at me and giggled. Damn! I love that sound.

"So, we're going to Mt. Tambourine because I get the job?" she asked, smiling sweetly. She was so beautiful even if she didn't notice.

"No, I just wanted to waste money and gas that's why we're going there." I said with a poker face. She rolled her eyes.

"Bully." She pouted, crossed her arms and looked at the window.

"I'm just kidding, baby." I laughed and she ignored me. Fuck!

"Baby, I'm sorry." I said but she was ignoring me. Damn!

I hit the break and faced her. She looked at me. "Why do we stop?'

"Because you're ignoring me." I said and took her hand.

"Er, you don't have to..." I cut her off.

"I'm sorry." I said and saw her eyes softened. She leaned to me and placed her hand on my cheek.

She moved closer to me. The look in her eyes was intoxicating. Jeezus!

She held my face with her warm hands and pulled me into her. Was she going to kiss me? I was losing every bit of sanity I have. This girl was playing a dangerous game if she was playing.

I closed my eyes as she came closer to me and... and... she bit my nose.

"Ouch! What was that for?" She giggled and didn't answer me.

"Ha! You're making me crazy. I'll punish you for that, you wait." I smirked and I saw her blushed.
