Page 95 of Let's Kiss and Tell

Jonah:

Y’all are gonna kiss tonight. That’s crazy.

Lucy:

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

Lucy:

Who says we’re kissing!?

Jonah:

I mean, the whole point is to make people believe the two of you are dating right? Like you’re *probably* going to be kissing…

My fingers lock and I set my phone down. How has this not crossed my mind? I look over at Marsh, whose eyes are concentrated on the road.

Lucy:

Not necessarily? That would be crazy for him to just kiss me without warning, right?

Jonah:

Idk, weren’t you like dry humping last week?

Okay, dry humping may be accurate, but that doesn’t mean I like the sound of it. For some reason, the idea of Marsh and me kissing in public makes my heart pound. The thought of kissing him makes me anxious in a holy-shit-I-would-give-anything-for-him-to-shove-his-tongue-down-my-throat way. The idea of kissing him in front of his mom and his brother for the first time makes me very nervous.

Lucy:

Fuck.

Jonah:

OR just literally don’t kiss him. Solves everything

Lucy:

That’s the plan but now you’re freaking me out. What if he leans in and kisses me?

Jonah:

Don’t kiss him back

Lucy:

How do you not kiss someone back if their lips are already on yours?

Lucy:

I need to talk to him

Jonah:

Omg I’m so sorry. Everything will be fine.

I let out an exhale and open the window a little bit.

“Everything okay?” Marsh asks.
