“Like I said: adorable.”

“No,” Jordan said beside me. He shot me a quick glance and a smirk—I could practically hear him mentally adding not yet to the end of that sentence.

“Because you won’t be for long,” he said with utter certainty.

“Oh,” I stammered. I glanced down at my hands to try to hide my blush. What was this boy doing to me? I couldn’t recall ever blushing or stammering this much in my whole life.

Tomato. I was the exact shade of one of the tomatoes I saw sitting on the counter. Jordan, thankfully, didn’t say anything as he led me to his room.

“You.” Jordan obliterated the space between us, pulling me flush against his body. He bent his head and captured my lips with his. I wasn’t caught off guard this time and responded immediately, weaving my fingers through his damp hair, tugging slightly. Jordan groaned into my

Shit. I think I’m gay.

Whattttttt no way

I coughed awkwardly, glancing down at the bare skin of my wrist as if it were a watch. I tapped it lightly with my finger. “About ten minutes, actually.”

I love his sense f hunor

Jordan grabbed my face and planted a chaste kiss on my lips, and then immediately peppered the rest of my exposed skin with little kisses. I think he kissed every inch of my face before finally pulling me into another hug. He tucked my head under his chin and held me close.

Theyre so gay

I looked up at him, grinning, and he pressed our foreheads together.

nodded. I wrinkled my nose after reading through the next problem. It didn’t make any sense. I read through it again and then looked up at him for help. “You look cute when you make that face,” he mused, gently kissing my finally-healed nose.

I was gay. This boy made me want to be gay. This boy was gay. This boy was also good at being gay. Which was why I was now gay. Or had I always been gay?

“What? No good-bye kiss?” I closed the car door and playfully flipped him off through the glass before heading over to the front door. Even from within his car, I could hear his laughter.

“Hey,” he said as we came to a stop at a red light. I turned and looked at him, glimpsing both nervousness and uncertainty in his eyes. “Can I take you out on a date?” Heat spread to my cheeks as I looked out the car window again. We hadn’t really been on any official dates yet; we’d just sort of been hanging out here and there when we could. I had never been on a date, though, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. “I don’t know, can you?” I asked after a few seconds, resorting

“Oh, I can do a lot of things,” Jordan responded, his tone suggestive. I blushed

I sank lower in my seat and mumbled, “I would’ve said yes either way.” “What was that?” he asked, though, by the look on his face, I knew that he’d heard me. “I’m not repeating that,” I grumbled and looked out the

I backed into something I couldn’t see and jumped, but didn’t have a chance to turn around before an arm snaked around my waist and lifted me up a few inches. I squealed in surprise and immediately recognized the laugh that followed.

Every man for himself

With an annoyed sigh, I leaned forward, tilted my head, and pressed my lips to his. I felt him smile against me as our lips touched. Euphoria spread through me and my annoyance diminished. How did this one boy

“I pity you,” I managed to say, looking up at my tormentor with as much bravery as I could muster. “For whatever hell your life must be if doing this to other people is the only thing that makes

see the mane of a lion: soft, golden, and untamed. I see its courage, but I also see that inside, that lion has the ferocity of a kitten. I see honey-brown eyes that look like liquid gold when they catch the sunlight at the right angle. But most importantly, I see you.”

And that I really wanted to kiss him.

Gay ass bitch

“Careful, Elliot,” he groaned. His voice was hoarse and he tightened his hold on me. I worked my way back up to his ear, whispering, “I love you too.” It took all of two seconds for him to get over his initial shock at what I’d said, and he flipped us over. He didn’t waste a second as he attacked my mouth with a hungry, passionate kiss. “I love you, I love you, I love you,” he murmured, each time

Ahhhhhhhhh

“You two bet on my sexuality?” I asked incredulously. Jordan started to crack up beside me. I turned and glared daggers at him as well. “I can’t believe you guys,” I huffed.
