3. BLACK AND WHITE

"Can I get a lift, girlfriend?" He asked.

"So cheesy...yikes. This is why you kissed me, to get a lift?" I said, teasing him.

"Or maybe because I just want to spend every minute with you from now onwards." He said, and kissed my forehead.

I looked at him, blushing once again, "Me too."

"Then maybe we can hangout at your house." He said.

"Yeah? only hanging out, right?" I asked, biting my lower lip.

"Unless you want to do something more." He said.

I laughed and punched his arm lightly, motioning him to get in.

We settled in the car as I start driving back home. I could feel his eyes on me, which made me self-conscious and a little nervous.

"You need to stop staring at me like that Jake, I am not able to concentrate." I said, gripping the steering a little tighter than necessary.

"I have sit with you before, babe. You didn't become nervous back then." He pointed out.

I rolled my eyes and said, "Yeah probably because you didn't kiss me before and didn't call me babe."

He chuckled and asked, "So how are you feeling? Honestly, because I am pretty sure you cried, your eyes were swollen in the morning.

This is why I like him...I have fallen for him. Not because, he is the popular guy or good-looking but despite of all those things he cares and talks to everyone, he spends time with and notice every small detail about me.

"I don't know Jake...earlier, I used to think it was my Mom who was right and my Dad was bad...now I realized that my Dad wasn't wrong and I have spent half of my life blaming him. He was just trying to do the right thing, and maybe I should write back to him but I don't have the courage to...I chose Mom. It's not that I don't love Mom. I miss him, Jake." I said.

"I know Hannah, trust me, I know what that feels like, and I am sure your Dad misses you too. If you want to write a letter to him or maybe go meet him, we can do that. I will come with you, if you want." He said, with a soft tone.

"Are you free tomorrow? It's Saturday." I asked.

"Totally, so we are going?" He asked.

I nod my head and parked the car in the driveway.

He got out first and came on my side, opening the door for me.

I step out and he closed the door behind me. We walked to our house and I unlock my house door.

"Looks like your Mom is not home." He said, as he excitedly steps in.

I laughed and closed the door behind us, he immediately pulled me towards him, and put his arm around my waist while we look at each other, smiling like crazy.

"This is your hangout plan?" I asked.

"Totally. We are finally together." He said.

"Excuse me, all credit goes to me. You wouldn't even have asked." I pointed out.

"Yeah right." He said with a smirk.

I pulled him by his shirt and kissed him again and he kissed me back, it was slow and deep, and sweet. He pulls away gently, and looks at me, he holds my hand as we sat down on the couch, he looks at me, and asked, "So, we cannot tell your Mom about this, I guess."

"No, she will not like it, I am just gonna say that I will go to your cabins." I said.

"So you remember? Our cabins where we spent half of our childhood." He said, looking at our hands.

"How can I not? We used to spend so much time there. Your elder sister, Sarah, you and me, those days were the best."

"Yeah, never imagined I would actually fall for you." I said.

"I know I really turned sexy, didn't I?" He said.

I pulled my tongue at him, that's when he put his lips on mine, my hands went to his soft brown hair, as I pulled him closer towards me, our bodies tangling as our kisses grew deeper. He started kissing my jaw to my throat. We were loosing control but I really didn't care. We have liked each other from such a long time.

We were interrupted by the doorbell, Jake rolled his eyes which made me laugh. I got up, and ran my fingers through my hair before opening the door, it was Mom.

"Hi mom, look who has come to meet you?" I said, with an innocent smile.

She enters and see Jake standing and she gave him a hug.

"So nice to see you Jake. Look at you, you have grown so much taller than before." She said.

"Thank you and you still look as young as ever." He said.

"Mom, we are going to his cabin, I hope you don't have a problem with that." I said.

"Sure, go have fun. I was just here to take some files. I need to go, bye kids."

"Bye mom, have fun." I said.

As she left, I looked at Jake with sad eyes, and he immediately pulled me into a hug, this was the first time I had lied to her about something and it really made me sad.

"It's alright babe, it's alright." He whispered softly and kissed my forehead.

"I am sorry because of me, you are involved..." He put his hand on my mouth.

"Don't ever say that." He said.

We spend the rest of the day doing our homework, listening to music, and talk about so many different things. Near evening, Jake left while I decided to do a little packing. I took some clothes and put it inside my school bag.

While I was preparing some noodles for dinner, my mom came back home.

We sat at the table and while I was chewing the food, my mom asked, "Is there something going on between you and Jake. He was looking at with lovey-dovey eyes."

I choked on my food and started coughing, my mom immediately a glass of water.
