I Can't Tell (A Jonnor story)

Chapter 7:

I was stunned. Connor might like me back? What?

I must have been silent for a while, because he said "I knew I shouldn't have told you..."

I couldn't move, but I managed to say something, albeit quietly. "When did you know?"

"I... when I met you I guess. I didn't understand it then though. Now that you say it, I know what I was feeling... what I am feeling. I like you, a lot." He said blushing so red I thought he'd explode.

We're both silent for about 10 seconds before Connor asks, "What do you... uh... want to do then? Do you want to, like, try out a relationship?"

I think for a moment, and then I say, "Maybe... we should wait and see if these feelings pass?" I was hoping it would... or was I? I'm not even supposed to feel like this. I am supposed to like girls... my dad beat me over it... doesn't that mean I shouldn't be this way? But I've tried liking girls. It never worked.

While I was standing there thinking, Connor was preparing for something, and he was ready. Connor leaned in a started kissing my lips! Holy cow I melted into him right there. It just felt so natural, our lips pressed together tightly, tasting his minty breath from his gum he had, hugging eachother close, smelling his intoxicating scent... but he backed up after about 3 seconds. He was scanning my face for signs. I knew how I felt, and I didn't care if it was wrong. I liked it. I needed Connor more. I took his hand and brought him over to the couch, and we sat down.

"Was that-" I interrupted him mid sentence. "Good? Hell yeah, Connor." I was staring at him intently. "If you want... I guess I am okay with us dating. I just... I didn't know if I should feel like this about guys, but your kiss... it... it was perfect." I smiled genuinely, fully taking in his facial features for the first time. He has these cute dimples, and his beautiful hazel eyes crinkle up when he smiles. He is just perfect.

He leans in again, kissing me. I return the kiss, hugging him again. This lasts for a while until we separate when we hear mom's van pull up. Crap! We're going to be in so much trouble! We can't have friends over when no one's home...
