“What is that supposed to mean? I am the only person that can take your clothes off, Jenna.”

“It means you left me, Liam!” Jenna’s anger exploded. “I sat in that restaurant like a chump for almost two hours waiting for you! You didn’t answer my texts either!” Her face was scrunched up in anger, her green eyes hard as she stood close to me.

“I had to sit there while all the waiters kept giving me pity looks and asking me if I wanted to order! You said you would be there at eight, Liam, and you weren’t. You made me feel so stupid sitting there, waiting for you.” She pushed past me roughly.

“Jenna.” I grabbed her elbow and pulled her back, not letting her get away from me.

“No, Liam! I thought tonight would be different! I thought that since we kissed we could finally be something. I thought that maybe you liked me too. I am so fucking stupid for liking you!” Jenna started punching my chest then. Tears ran down her face, and a slight breeze made her blonde hair fly in different directions. I stood still, letting her hit me because I knew I deserved it. Her blows didn’t hurt but her words did.

“Everything you do makes me like you more. And kissing me didn’t help! I bet you don’t even care what I feel because you have tons of girls hanging off your arm. I bet you were off sleeping with one while I waited for you. Well, you know what, Liam? I’m done! I can’t be part of this deal anymore! I can’t lie to your wonderful family. I can’t keep liking you in secret while you go off sleeping with other women.” She shook her head. “I’m just done.” Jenna’s voice was soft as she trembled. Pulling her arm from my grip, she turned to walk away.

“Jenna, you can’t do this!” I yelled after her. Not even thinking, I ran after her, grabbing her arm once more and twirling her around. “You can’t say those kinds of things and just walk away. You can’t walk away from me! You are mine.” With that, I captured her lips roughly with my own. She needed to know how I felt; I had to make her feel it. Hearing all those things she shouted at me made my body warm up. Now that I knew that she liked me, my heart was swelling.

Cupping her jaw, I poked her lips with my tongue. Her lips parted immediately, letting me in. My tongue battled hers aggressively. We were both putting all of our feelings into this kiss. As Jenna bit my bottom lip, I couldn’t help but groan. I let go of her jaw and put both of my hands up into her soft hair, gripping it at the scalp as we continued to kiss. After a little while we both pulled apart, gasping for air. I’d never had a kiss that left me this breathless before. Something about her ignited a flame inside of me I didn’t know I had.

“Jenna, I like you. No, I don’t like you. I. Love. You,” I breathed out, staring down at her. Her green eyes were dark with lust, and her lips looked plumper and red from our kiss. After saying those words, I waited for her answer. This was the first time I had said those words in years and I meant each and every one. I didn’t know when my crush turned into love. It could have been when we got in a paint war, or when we were at the Benefit and she saw her mother.

At the beginning of this deal I had thought I wouldn’t fall for Jenna. I had told myself I wouldn’t no matter what because things would become complicated, but as of right now I did not give a damn. I hadn’t known that the moment I met Jenna that I would be giving my heart to her, and I didn’t think she knew either.

“You love me?” Jenna questioned, her eyes wide as she stared up at me.

“Yes, you idiotic woman. I love you.” I felt like I was baring my heart to her. When she didn’t answer, my heart slowly started to fall. I felt like I had made a mistake telling her I loved her. “You have to say something,” I said, biting my bottom lip. Why wasn’t she saying anything? The next moment she gripped my hair and brought her lips to mine, but softly this time. She pulled away and laid her forehead against mine.

“I love you too, you doofus,” she breathed out. At the words, my heart seemed to explode. It had been a long shot, thinking Jenna had the same feelings for me. A grin spread across my face. I had never felt this happy in my life. Grabbing the back of Jenna’s head, I pulled her to me once more and kissed her.
