“Ow, shit,” he said and dodged away from me.
“Oh my God, Jacob, I’m so sorry!”
He winced with one eye. “It’s fine. It barely hurts.”
But I’d jabbed him pretty hard right in the eye. Why had I gone in so hot? I was supposed to gingerly touch his lips, not assault him. I cringed. At least his eye had been closed.
“Are you okay?” I asked.
“Mhm.” He blinked and moved his nose around. “I’m good.” He laughed.
Sophie had said all I had to do was touch his lips and he’d do the rest. I guess touching lips instead of eyes were two pretty different things.
I grabbed my glass of water. “Put this against your eye.”
Jacob laughed again. “You didn’t give me a black eye. How hard do you think you just struck me?”
I hated that I’d struck him at all. “I can’t believe I just ruined our first date.”
He smiled. “Telling me about your undying love for Axel and poking me in the eye? Nah.”
I groaned. “It’s just like me to ruin my first date ever.”
“I liked being your first.” He smiled.
I stared at him. He didn’t say he’dstolenmy first date. But he certainly seemed pleased that it was my first. And there was someone else that seemed fixated on stealing my first everything.I am so onto you, Jacob Miller.Or should I say...Kiss Thief?
Scarlett and the Kiss Thief - Chapter 22 – A Real Shit Older Brother
Wednesday
Jacob grabbed my hand as we made our way back up to the school. No, I hadn’t kissed him. But I’d had so much fun on our date. And I just knew in my gut that he was my kiss thief.
He opened the door for me.
Lunch must have only just ended because the hallway was crowded.
“Thanks for the ice cream,” I said as he walked me to my locker. I wanted to pinch myself. How many times had I dreamed of a guy holding my hand and walking me to my locker? Well, not just some random guy. I’d always pictured Axel. But this reality was a lot better than some dumb dream. Yes, technically it had happened with Axel once last week. But that must have been some kind of weird older brother thing. I couldn’t believe he thought of me like a little sister.
“Any time,” Jacob said. “I’ll see you in coding class?”
I nodded.
He dropped my hand and disappeared into the crowded hallway.
Sophie popped out and squealed.
Where had she just been hiding?
“Were you two holding hands?!” She squealed again.
“Yes.”
“Ah! Tell me everything!”
“We had a really good time.” I smiled. “Like...really good.”
“Oh, did you do hand stuff under the table?” She waggled her eyebrows at me.
