"Well was it really just the beautiful birds and flowers that makes me love frogsmere? Well to be honest with myself , no but it's the thought of me being really close to him. I get to feel his heartbeat when I ride with him on his bike. And I almost do not want it to stop.And also everything feels so special when we are alone , I just don't ever want it to end!!! But then … Goshhhh that bell always interrupts ". She thought.
15 minutes later, Mirabel walks to the door of her neighbor and knocked. It wasn't up to twice when the door made a cracking sound and opened.
There he was staring down at her, he was wearing a blue hoodie on dark grey shorts.She didn't dare look at his legs properly she knew she wouldn't make this journey if she did.
"Do I look so gorgeous?" Jeremy asked with mockery.
" Huhhmm "she sighed .
" Really you think so? how about I wear a shirt huh?"
"No this suits you best" she said with a smile.
" Hmmm he sighed, you're really getting to be real honest with me and I love it!!!.He said with a Pat on her head.
"What do you mean by that ? I have always been honest with you it's just you who haven't been"she said with a sad face.
"Really?"he asked staring hard at her olive eyes.
"Yeah " she replied with her hands akimbo .
"Well I guess I haven't noticed ,or ….you just hide it". He said in a second thought .
"Jeremy!!!" She called .
"Okay puppy let's just go he said with a giggle,then he held her hands and said I really like it when you are being real honest with me "
" I will try to be more honest, you just try also huh!!! And why do you keep calling me puppy? You should have gotten over that now "
"I love calling you that,it's just like you're my pet humm .You don't like me calling you that?"he asked staring down at her sea blue eyes.
"I do, just that it makes me feel like a baby and it's so embarrassing " she said with a shy laugh.
"And that's what I want huh!!! You're my big baby!!!" He said still holding her hands.
"Stop it Jerry!!! That's what I say to my kid sister " she said pulling her hands from his.
"Aren't you also my kid sister?" he said with a wicked smile.
"No I am not !!! And also we are of same age okay?" She replied him rolling her eyes at him.
"Ohhh!!! I almost forgot but still I am a month older than you so… I am your elder brother " he said stubbornly.
"Just stop it Jerry you can never be my brother" she replied with dissatisfaction.
"And why ?" He asked wondering why she had said that.
"Because I don't see you in that…. How should I express it? Hmm she sighed .Well I don't see you as a brother you're my friend, you could be something more but not a brother NEVER"she said stressing the word never.
Well never say never puppy ,you said I could be something more, more like what ?" This time one could easily sense he was confused.
"Nothing" she answered with a bow.
"Or you meant more like a lover huh "
he said and ended in laughter.
"Shall we please just go hum?"there wasn't much ecstasy in her voice .
"Alright but there is something I would like to tell you " he said with serious in his tone.
"Oka…y and what would that be?" She asked with curiosity.
"Let's wait till we get there puppy".
