Going Back To My Old Life - Me :) (open ebook txt) 📗

to him and his smile came back immediately.

“Well then, let's see.” Jordan said and then took my hand and we walked into the mini golf.

We played and it was really close but I won in the end. Probably because I am awesome!

 

Jordan P.O.V.

 

“Yup. So wanna play?” I asked.

“Hell yeah, but I'm gonna beat your ass.” Emma said confidently. I took her to the mini golf place that we all used to go to when we were kids.

“I don't think so.” I said.

“Uh, I do think so. I beat your ass when we were like 10. So I think I could beat your sorry ass now.” she said. The only reason she beat me when we were kids is because I had a huge crush on her and I let her win.

“Oh yeah! Let's bet on it!” I said planning out everything that is going to happen next.

“Okay, if I win...” Emma said thinking of what to say next. “You have to do what ever I say for a whole week.” she said confidently.

“And if I win, I get to take you out on another date.” I said with a slight smile.

“Another date? This isn't a date, Jordan,” Emma said while motioning her hands around.

“Well then, in that case, why don't we make it one.” I said as I took one step closer to her and started to lean down for a kiss. I put my hand on her cheek, she closed her eyes and I kissed her. This kiss was unbelievable, I'd even call it magical. It brought back all the good memories that we've had together. I have never felt so much for a girl before, not even for Katie.

“Well, that's not fair.” Emma said.

“What?” I asked confused and the smile that I had slowly faded away. What is she talking about not fair?!

“If the only way to get another date with you is to lose then I will purposely lose.” she said to me and my smile came back immediately.

“Well then, let's see.” I said and then took her hand and we walked into the mini golf.

We played and on the last few rounds I was winning but I let her win in the end. It's kinda like a tradition now. I brought her home and we kind of made-out on her door-step, I hope her parents didn't see. Emma's parents like me anyways.

“See you at school,” I said and then pecked her one last time on the lips.

“See ya,” she said and then opened her door and went inside. I went in my car and drove far enough that Emma wouldn't see me. I pulled over and went crazy.

“Holy mother of god! I just went on a date with freaking Emma Smith and I freaking kissed her! Holy... Wow... You finally did it. And now you are talking to yourself in your car...” I said to myself and then started the car engine and drove home. Once I got home I went straight up to my room. I looked over at my blue alarm clock to check the time, it was 8:45pm so I took a shower and went downstairs into the kitchen. My sister, Brianna was in the kitchen.

“Hey Jordan,” my sister said quite sad. My parents are 'very successful people' as they say, and are rarely home because they are always working. My little sister is 12 years old and she should normally be around her parents all the time. She is usually sad, I can't remember the last time that I heard her laugh or see her smile. We used to be one normal happy family but not anymore. I grew up with both my parents always at my side but Brianna won't have that. I try my best to spend time with her to make her feel less lonely.

“Hey Bri, you hungry?” I asked her with a smile even though I was really hurting me to see her this way. She nodded so I asked, “What do you want me to make? Name anything.”

“Pizza.” she said.

“Okay, umm... We have cheese & pepperoni or plain cheese. Which one?” I asked.

“Plain cheese.” she said. I put the frozen pizza in the oven and then went over to Brianna. I gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

“Are you okay?” I asked.

“Not really.” she said and then hugged my tight. The oven beeped which meant that the pizza was ready. Brianna let go of me and I saw tears in her eyes. I wiped them away and kissed her forehead, “It's gonna be okay,” I said to her and then took her pizza out of the oven.

 

Emma's P.O.V.

 

After Jordan dropped me off at my house after our date I went straight up to my room closed the door behind me and lean back on it, I slowly slipped down until I was sitting on the floor.

“Ahhhh!!!” I screamed in joy, “I went on a date with Jordan freaking Heal! Hell yeah! And he kissed me and then we made-out on my doorstep, like in the freaking movies. Yeeesssss!” I yelled again. I stood up put some music on and started dancing around my room and singing along. I did that for about half an hour, maybe more. I took a shower and then went downstairs to find something to eat.

“Hey sweetie, are you hungry?” my dad asked as I gave him a hug.

“Hey daddy! Yes, I am hungry. What's for dinner, mommy?” I asked sounding overly-happy and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

“Hi honey,” my mom said with a laugh, “We are having my famous special-seasoned fish. It'll be ready in about 10 minutes. Why don't you set up the table, honey?” my mom said.

“Okay mommy.” I said and then set up the table. We all sat down at the table and started eating.

“So, you seem, uh, very, uh, happy... Care to tell me why?” my mom asked curiously. “Are you all happy because of that date you had with Jordan?” my mom asked with a big smile on her face.

“It wasn't a date.” I said, “at first...” I whispered to myself.

“Okay, your 'catching-up/get-together' thing. Are you all happy because of that?” my mom asked with a big smile on her face again.

“Maybe...” I said silently.

“I knew it! Oh honey! I am so happy for you!” my mom said and then came up to me and gave me a really big and tight hug.

“Well then, I need to have a talk with Jordan.” my dad said.

“Please don't daddy!” I begged. My dad always gave a guy that I start dating the whole 'Break her heart and I'll break you' speech.

“I'm sorry sweetie but I have to. It's a father's duty.” my dad said and then stuffed his mouth with food. Once I finished eating I went to bed thinking about Jordan.

Chapter 6: The Bet Benefits

 “You can't make me do that!” Jordan yelled.

“Hell yeah, I can! You lost the bet.” I answered with a smile. We are halfway through the week and I have been making Jordan do the stupidest things. Nothing too bad, I have made him carry my stuff around, get me the things I want, and even made him take me to the mall. On Friday, I'm planning to make him go on a date with me which I hope will make him happy because that was the plan if he one the bet in the first place. Now I am making Jordan tell me if he has had a crush on me since we were kids. I haven't told him that I did but if he says that he had a huge crush on me back then, then I'll say it too.

“Tell me!” I pleaded, “Please...” I begged with a puppy dog face. I gave him a kiss on the cheek. Jordan and I haven't really talked about us being an 'us' yet. So we don't kiss and stuff at school but he occasionally pulls me into the janitor's closet and we make-out, just like the movies. I love it! I can finally have a normal life but I need to tell Katie about this. I still don't know what happened between her and Jordan yet, maybe I could make Jordan tell me because he has to do whatever I say for the rest of the week.

“Ugh, yeah. I had a little bit of a crush on you when we were kids.” Jordan said.

“Awww...” I said and held his hand. “Don't worry, so did I.” I said with a smile and we kissed. We were sitting on a bench in an empty park. Jordan walked me home, I went straight up to my room and flopped onto my bed. I smiled to myself and thought about my life and how great it's gonna be for the next few years. I took a shower and then did my homework. Once I finished, it was 6:35pm so I called Katie.

 

“Hey Katie! Whatcha doin?”

“Hey Emma! Nothin' much, what about you?”

“Just finished homework.”

“Same here.”

“Are you doing anything tomorrow?”

“No, why?”

“We need girl time.”

“I always knew this day would come but it's so soon. Wait, what do you want to do, Em?”

“I just wanted to go out, get ice cream, talk, and stuff.”

“Oh, okay, yeah I'm free tomorrow so meet me in front of girls bathroom after school.”

“Why girl's bathroom? Can't we just meet at one of our lockers or just outside.”

“I will need to fix my hair and make-up, duh! Well, I gotta go, twins are yelling for me.”

“Bye Katie!”

“Bye Em!”

 

I went downstairs and went into the living room. My mom was watching a cooking channel on the TV and my dad was working at his desk. I did the usual, kiss on the cheek and big hug, then 'Hi honey' or 'Hey sweetie'. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a cup of water and then back up to my room. I played some music and laid on my bed. I played games on my phone, went on Facebook, and I even took a few selfies. Okay, maybe not a few, I took about 20 or 30 selfies... Afterwards, I ate dinner with my parents and stayed up a bit late watching some of my favorite TV series, Pretty Little Liars, Young & Hungry, Faking It, Awkward, and others. I fell asleep thinking about what could have possibly happened between Katie and Jordan.

 

................................................................................

 

“Hey Emma! How come we haven't talked in a while?” Jake said putting his bag on the desk next to me and then sat on the desk I was sitting at.

“Hey Jake!” I said. I haven't talked to Jake that much because of Jordan obviously but no one knows about Jordan and I, so Jake thinks that I'm single and we might 'hook up' or something, well, that's what I'm assuming.

“So my little nerd,” Jake started to say and knew that calling my that would really annoy me, “What have you been up to?” he asked in a somehow very attractive way.

“Uh, nothing much.” I said trying not to look into his beautiful brown eyes.

“Hey,” he said and lifted my head up by my chin to look him in his eyes, “Have
