She wasn't pulling away. If he was being honest with himself, he really didn't think she would pull away from him, but then again he hardly knew the girl. Still, she was smiling and seemed to be alright with what he was doing. Then she spoke and he couldn't help but grin slyly. Perfect, she was asking for it. Literally. He saw the challenge in her eyes and met it. He leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers, not pulling away first. Perfect. He held her close as he replied to her. "I guess I can, but if I'm telling the truth, I want to see you again," he told her honestly. Not that she wouldn't know that from his kiss, but Jake needed to make sure that he was clear about the whole thing. He liked her, even more after their kiss and he wanted her to know that he was interested in seeing her again. "So ... follow-up question: would you be interested in seeing me again after today?" That wasn't the same question, right? No ... it was different. Similar, but different. And he waited nervously for the answer. AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT

He kissed her, just like she'd dared. Amelie had kissed people before, sure, even complete strangers. But this was different. She felt like she had kissed him before but also felt like she had never kissed anyone in her entire life. She pulled back first, staring into his eyes for a moment, holding her breath, before finally breathing out. He was still holding her as the conversation continued. As he said that he wanted to see her again. The kiss had made it pretty clear, and she hoped her kissing back didn't give the same message... she couldn't promise that this would go anywhere. Still, she was sure her kiss had given her away. Given away that she really, really, needing something solid in her life. Something she trusted. She shook her head at his words, leaning back just slightly, "we can't always have what we want," she said, smiling. Then he asked her if she would be interested in seeing him and she bit her lip, her eyes narrowing slightly as she considered it. "Hmm... well, that depends. What's in it for me?" she asked, not giving a straight answer. Of course she wanted to see him again. Heck, for the first time in her life she actually wanted to get to know him instead of just kissing him. Jacob Kennington

Somehow, Jake found his confidence, his usual swagger when she started teasing him. So that's how she wanted to play? Well, he had no problem with that. Jake could beat around the bush all day too. He grinned, liking the in she gave him. He let her go and shrugged as he tried to keep a straight face, "You know, you're right ... we can't always have what we want, but sometimes we can. I think this is one of those times, don't you? I mean, since it really is up to us?" he was teasing, and finally getting more in his comfort zone. He was tired of acting like he was treading on glass. It was time for him to let the real Jake out, the Jake that said what he wanted, ignoring the consequences. He laughed when she asked what was in it for her. "You mean other than getting to spend your time with the best tree hopper either of us know?" he teased, rubbing it in a little. He couldn't help it, that was second nature to him. "I can't think of anything better than that. Why don't you tell me?"AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT

She cocked her head to once side as he said that it was really up to them, teasing back at her. She scoffed, "it's not up to us, though. Not really. As fate would have it, we'll probably never see each other ever again," she said this flatly, as if it was a normal fact and not a horrible thing to say. For her though, it was. It was how things had always been. Fate had never been kind to her, never given her the things that deep down she knew she truly wanted. No, fate ha always been her enemy. And though the teasing was fun, she didn't want the poor bloke to hope.
Then he answered her question about what was in it for her and she couldn't help but laugh. She shook her head, "no, no. I asked you first. 'best tree hopper' is not a good enough reason," she started to pull away from him then, smirking a bit, "may as well end this before it gets any more..." she looked up at him, batting her eyelashes, "fun?"

At her response, Jake grew a little more serious. It happened every once in a while and now was one of those moments. "I don't believe it fate," he told her straight out. "We make our own fates and we determine what will and what won't happen in them. So believe me when I say that I will see you again." His eyes twinkled as he decided to bring down the level of seriousness. "The real question is whether or not I'll let you see me." He winked, hoping she would understand that he was joking ... in part. He was serious about seeing her again. He was going to make it happen, whether she wanted it to or not. And no matter what she said, he had a feeling that she did want to see him again. Jake outright laughed at her response to his "best tree hopper" comment. He knew it wouldn't work, but you can't blame a guy for trying, right? Then she pulled away, flirting as she got ready to leave. "Oh, so you're one of those people that is against having fun? Weird, I didn't peg you as one of those ..." he teased. He couldn't stop her going, but he wished she wouldn't. No matter. Even if she did leave, he was going to find her. AMELIE ROSE CHAIRMONT

Amelie sighed as he went on to say that they make their own fates and blah blah blah. Then he said he'd see her again, but the question was whether or not he'd let her see him. She scoffed, "I'll see you, all right. Fine," she said, rolling her eyes, "I'd rather it be on purpose then you stalking me like some lovesick puppy," she chuckled at her little joke, not minding at all that he was winking and joking with her as well. She could tell, though, that he did in fact really want to see her again.
And she wanted to see him too.
Then he was laughing at her comment about the tree climbing and she raised an eyebrow. "You'll see," she said, stepping even farther away from him, "I can be more fun than anyone you've ever met," then she blew him a little kiss and swam away, not turning back. She'd see him again, though. As much as she wanted to deny it.
(Okay let's end this and the next time they see each other is that battle thread, right?)

Jake smiled, relieved that she'd finally given in. They would see one another again, and at least she agreed. That meant she wouldn't be hiding from him ... probably. Then again, she was full of surprises so he really had no idea. Then she started backing away from him and said that she could be more fun than anyone else, blowing a kiss and swimming away. Jake's grin widened as he watched her swim away. "I look forward to it," he muttered, though he was certain she couldn't hear him. She hadn't given him a chance to answer before taking off. At least now he had something to look forward to. Seeing her again. ---THE END---
