chapter sixty four

Kimmy went to Joan's house

"you seem happy and in a better mood" Kimmy said

"what are you talking about"

"i mean the kiss, it still shows on your face"

"what?"

"infact you're glowing, you should even be grateful to me I made it happen again"

"again?"

"anyone would know your first kiss was with Nick, you were staring at him the whole time during the story telling"

Joan smiled

"so you got your second kiss from him"

"actually it's third "

"what?! tell me about the second"

"it happened when he was sick"

FLASH BACK,..,

the day Joan took care of nick, he whispered something to Joan

"I love you" and Joan's eyes widened

"yes I do. listen Joan I am sorry if this will ruin everything between us but I love you and no matter what happens I will still love you.

I love you Joan, I am sorry but I couldn't help it, I love you so much, infact too much that I could die. I have loved you for a very long time, I was scared to admit but Joan I can't anymore

I love you...I love you...I just love you Joan

I don't even know how it started but I am madly in love with you." he confessed

Joan touched his forehead and his temperature was really high

"your temperature is really high" Joan said

Joan did that because she found it weird, she thought it was because of his fever he was saying this and maybe it was meant for another person, she didn't want to keep her hopes up

"no Joan listen I love you. I love you it's not because of this fever, actually it gave me courage, I know I can't say it when I am sober."

Joan was shocked but what happened next made her weak.

Nick held her Chin and slowly moved towards her for a kiss,

Joan closed her eyes and awaited the kiss but it never happened, when she opened her eyes

his lips was on hers but there was a thumb in between

Nick did that because he didn't want her to regret, maybe the first kiss, she doesn't remember but this at this age he didn't want it to torment her. he just didn't want Joan to regret it and it might ruin their relationship so he placed a thumb in between.

Nick pulled himself away and looked into her eyes, Joan understood him, she held his thumb and slowly let it down, she stepped closer and stared into his eyes and she nodded her head

"is it what I think it is?" Nick asked and she nodded again.

Nick didn't wait long he crashed his lips on hers and they kissed with passion and yearning for each other.

after a while, they broke the kiss and Nick kissed her forehead.

Joan led him to sleep but in the middle of the night he had another nightmare and his temperature rose up again.

the next day he woke up probably not remembering that scene or thinking it was a beautiful dream he had.,.......

"that's how it happened" Joan said, Kimmy stared at her

"I'm sorry" Kimmy said

"for what?"

"for him not remembering confessing to you, and for the whole misunderstanding"

Joan kept quiet for a while

"but I am not sad about it, at least I know his feelings for me"

"what about your feelings, Joan?" Kimmy asked
