“Kissing? Sex? Anything juicy?”
“Uhh…well I mean…”
“Suzy why must you embarrass me every chance you get?” I sighed in relief as I knew Jon was right behind me. “We haven’t done anything. That’s all you need to know.”
“Oh shut up you always bragged to our cousins about how you fucked all those girls and now here you are taking this one to AC. I can’t help but be curious.”
“Are you trying to get him to hate me? Jon took out his wallet. “What do I owe you? I’m not going to stand here and give you the chance to embarrass me anymore.”
“Oh don’t worry about it Johnny. This is his birthday present from me!” Suzy stood up with her things and shot Jon a sheepish grin.
“Don’t pull this bullshit Suzy. How much was it?”
“Just make sure you take care of him this weekend. You clearly care a lot about him.” Suzy walked past us and waved. “Happy birthday Jason. It was a delight to meet you!”
“What did you tell her?” Jon sat down as he pulled on his rubbed his face trying to remove the pink from his embarrassment. “Did she pressure you into saying anything?”
“I just told her how we met. Am I really the first person you’ve introduced your family to?”
“Yeah, I’m sorry. I’ve never seen the need to introduce any of my ex’s to Suzy. She would have made them cry. I just needed someone to help me out with clothes because I have no idea and Suzy was in town for once. It was a terrible idea in hindsight.”
I walked up to throw out my coffee cup by the exit. “Need anything else?”
“Just you.”
“You’re hilarious.” I flipped him off as we walked out. “How far are we from the hotel anyways?”
“It’s about a four hour drive. You can crash in the back if you want.”
“I can sleep in the front; you would be lonely without me. What did you have to go get anyways?”
“Oh just needed to see someone and pick up tickets.”
“Tickets for what?”
“That would ruin the surprise. There’s a reason we’re going all the way out to AC.”
“You know I can just look at my phone you asshole.” I looked down to turn it on only for Jon to snatch it out of my hands and run. “Nope.”
“Jon stop being an asshole and give me my fucking phone.” I stood there and shouted outside of the mall as he ran to his car. I shook my head at the futility of yelling and ran to the car.
“There you are. Thought you would run quicker than that. Maybe I need to take you to the gym.”
“Jon stop being a dick or I’m gonna leave.”
“You won’t leave. I know you appreciate how much I’m putting into trying to make you happy.” Jon was leaning against his car fiddling around with my phone trying to figure out my passcode.
“Why are you such a prick?” I attempted to snatch it out of his hands but I instead tripped on myself and found myself in Jon’s left arm.
“Alright, how about this,” Jon stood me back up and put my phone in his right pocket and covering it with his hand. “I’ll give you back your phone if I can kiss you again.”
“Why the fuck would I agree to something stupid like that?”
“Because it can’t hurt to try to kiss the guy you want to try and be with.” Jon brought his arm around me in to get closer.
“What?”
“I don’t think you would let me hold you like this if you weren’t trying. You could of told me to fuck off hours ago but here we are ready to head out to Atlantic city.” His eyes pierced me with that raw Jon Han charisma that was so hard to ignore when he had it on. “Look if you’re really uncomfortable with the idea I can just give you your phone back but I’d like a second try. Our first form of intimate contact wasn’t exactly the greatest and I regret it a lot but I think you’re ready for another try at this ” The trickster had been replaced by a more serious and calming Jon.
“Well…” Today was the first day Jon had been serious about how he really felt about me. I don’t know if it was because of how he saw me on Wednesday but he really wanted this to work. I would be lying to myself if I said I was past the point of contemplation. Jon was the first person other than Jenna that cared about me and my well being. This was my chance to advance our relationship. “I think we could try again.”
“Alright let me do this right.” He switched places with me and had me lean against his car and before I knew it his lips gently brushed against mine, briefly grazing them as to make certain that this is what I wanted. He opened his eyes to observe my reaction; his deep dark jewels told me how much he wanted me to remember this kiss, my first attempt to be intimate with him. I smiled a little and nodded before he came back in to seal the deal. Our first kiss was really forced and awkward, it was mostly him sucking on my lips while I was in a state of panic and confusion. This time however Jon’s lips were soft and manageable, he was being gentle and slow. At first I had no idea what to do, but Jon was trying to guide me. He wanted to move at my pace as we worked it out and slowly I understood that he wanted me to open my mouth wider, as if he was asking for permission to open a door. After a bit I opened my mouth slightly to let him in and it was from there he took complete control; Jon coaxed out my tongue and he continued to work my lips to get them to relax completely. I still didn’t quite understand what I was supposed to do so I just surrendered to him and allowed him complete control. His tongue spread around mine passionately and before I knew it he was working in sync, every part of mouth was following him as if it was a dance of passion. My eyes opened wide as I came to the realization of what was going on; I looked at Jon with his eyes closed doing his hardest to make sure I felt safe and comfortable while at the same time making every second memorable about our first real kiss. After what felt like a century I had to break off for air.
“How was that?” Jon stepped back and flashed his signature smile as he observed my reaction.
I was speechless as I caught my breath. All I could do was nod and look down.
“Yeah you need to breathe through your nose.” He came back close and looked up as he continued to talk. “I hope I didn’t disappoint you.”
“It….was perfect actually…” I finally had enough time to catch my breath and talk again.
“Well great.” He pulled me from the car and grazed my lips one more time. “I hope you never forget this moment. Now come on we still have to make 9:00 reservation.” He let go and walked around to the other side of the car.
“We still need to talk about Jenna…” The afterglow was fading and I was slowly coming back to reality.
“I’ll tell you everything when we’re on the road.” Jon opened his door and got in. “We just have to get moving or we won’t make it there with enough time to get ready.”
I nodded and jumped in the passenger side. I was worried about what happened between him and Jenna but I knew it would all be resolved in a matter of time. However, for now I just wanted to sit back and enjoy what looked to be like a promising weekend. Maybe Jon wasn’t such a bastard after all.
