Chereads / My Darling (EMINEM FF) / Chapter 11 - Chapter 2.5 : "8 mile"

Chapter 11 - Chapter 2.5 : "8 mile"

Jimmy slightly blushes, realizing he'd been caught and gives a small sheepish smile.

__Jimmy: "Okay, fine…yeah, I'm trying to find out if you're single or not…I wasn't making it too obvious, was I..?"

Cheruma just laughs in a good natured manner.

__Cheruma: "You aren't the best at subtlety, but no. You weren't too obvious. And honestly, I'm a bit flattered that you actually want to know if I'm single or not…"

Cheruma shakes her head in amused dismissal.

"No, I don't blame you, you're just a typical man…always interested in a single lady…."

She gives a small smirk.

__Cheruma: "But you're also a bit of a smooth talker too, aren't you..?"

__Jimmy: "I guess so..."

They were sitting somewhat closer together then they had been before, and as a result, their knees were brushing against each other's ever so slightly, but it was enough to be noticeable.

It became increasingly clear that there were mutual attraction between the two of the them. As Cheruma and Jimmy spoke, they unconsciously began to get closer to one another, leaning their bodies forward and bringing their faces closer to each other.

Jimmy didn't really think twice about the increased closeness, though he did notice that Cheruma's face was beginning to be seen clearly. He began to notice little details, such as the small features of her nose, the shape of her lips, the way her skin looked…he was actually somewhat entranced.

Cheruma found herself staring at Jimmy's lips every now and then, and Jimmy became increasingly more distracted by how her shirt fit around her body. He lift his eyes to her lips and then her face, to notice the look in his eyes. Both of them began to feel their faces heat up.Their light conversion had been replaced by the subtle desire growing inside them.

Unknowingly wanting to get in even closer, they unknowingly began to reach out their hands towards one another, their fingers almost touching.

The tension between them seemed to become almost suffocating, their bodies so close together now they could almost feel each others' breath. Their conversation began to trail off, neither of them even noticing how their conversation died, as their attention was now focused on each other. Their faces were incredibly close together now, separated by mere inches, and their eyes darted down to each other's mouths.

Jimmy leaned forward more, and closed the gap, giving Cheruma a quick and light kiss on her lips.They were incredibly soft and warm, and just a simple peck was enough to send a shiver of pleasure through his body.

Just as Jimmy was about to lean in for a second kiss, the sound of his trailer door opening and the sound of multiple male voices came from outside. The pair flinched and jerked their heads to look at the door and saw Jimmy's friends Cheddar Bob, DJ, and Future opening the door and entering.

Jimmy's friends, Future, Sol, DJ Iz, and Cheddar Bob, were all standing in the doorway, all of them looking surprised and amused at the fact Jimmy and Cheruma were sitting so close together. Sol and Cheddar Bob exchanged a look while Future and DJ Iz started to laugh.

Jimmy gave a frustrated look towards his friends, and spoke up in an embarrassed tone, trying to regain his composure somewhat.

__Jimmy: "Damn it, guys, ever hear of knocking when coming in somewhere?!"

__Future: "We were gonna knock. But then we saw you and that girl being all cozy and figured we'd bust in instead!" He said with a smirk.

Sol chuckled upon seeing just how close Jimmy and Cheruma had been sitting together.

__Cheruma: "Maybe it's time for me to leave."

She said embarrassed

Jimmy gave a small sigh, clearly annoyed by his friends ruining the moment.

__ Cheruma: "Come on guys, seriously? You made her feel awkward enough that now she's gonna leave?"

Future just chuckled while Cheddar Bob and DJ IZ were still laughing, and Sol spoke up.

__Sol: "Hey, hey, sorry there miss. We were just having some fun."

Jimmy gave a look of frustration that his friends are giving him and Cheruma such a hard time.

__Jimmy: "Well, no. You didn't have to do that. You could've been polite and knocked. But now you guys are making Cheruma feel uncomfortable…"

He glanced towards her, feeling a bit guilty her is friends are ruining the moment he'd been having with her.

Cheruma gave a slightly embarrassed and awkward smile to Jimmy's friends, and got up from her chair, feeling awkward now that the moment between her and Jimmy was ruined.

__Cheruma: "I think I will be going now. It was nice meeting you guys…"

She glanced towards Jimmy, still seeming awkward and embarrassed.

__Cheruma: "I'll see you later, Jimmy…"

Jimmy gave an irritated look towards his friends, feeling frustrated with them for ruining his moment with Cheruma, and nodded.

__Jimmy: "Uh…yeah, I'll see you later Cher…"

Jimmy watches as Cheruma hurriedly leaves the trailer, and turns back to his friends with an angry expression.

__Jimmy: "Alright, what the hell, guys? Why'd you have to burst in like that? You ruined the moment!"

__Sol: "Hey, don't blame us. It was funny. You two were so focused on each other that you didn't even notice us come in until we made a lot of noise." He smirked.

DJ IZchimed in as he stopped laughing.

__DJ IZ: "Yeah, you two looked so close together and almost kissing each other's faces off, it was perfect timing to interrupt.

Jimmy gave an irritated look towards them, and groaned in frustration.

__Jimmy: "Ugh, whatever. I was getting close to getting a date with her, but then you guys ruined it with your stupid interruption. Now she's probably all awkward and embarrassed and it'll be hard to ask her out now…"

Future just chuckled.

__Future: "Hey, don't get so frustrated. You'll have plenty of other chances to try to ask her out. But besides that, just what were you gonna ask her anyway? Were you two gonna start making out on each other?"

Jimmy felt a small blush come to his face upon being confronted with that question, and answered in a grumpy tone.

__Jimmy: "No! That's between me and her, and you guys have no business trying to intrude…"

Sol smirked at Jimmy, and decided to tease his friend just a little more.

__Sol" "Ooohhh, well someone's awfully defensive. You must've been wanting to start making out with her if you're so touchy about us teasing you about it."

__Jimmy: "She isn't just a girl or a joke up, alright."

Future gave an amused look, liking making Jimmy getting worked up.

__Future: "Woah, chill man. Who said anything about her just being 'a girl'? You getting defensive over her, man?"

Jimmy's cheeks reddened from the teasing and he gave an annoyed look towards Future.

__Jimmy: "No, I'm not. I just don't like you all treating it like it's a joke when I'm actually trying to…"

He paused, and then suddenly got a defensive look on his face. 

__Jimmy: "Wait a minute. Why do you all seem to care so much whether I get a date with her or not? How come you're all so interested in it?"

Sol shrugged, still giving an amused smile.

__Sol: "Hey, it's not every day you see Jimmy Smith trying to get with a girl. It's entertaining watching you try. But seriously though, just what's so special about her that you really want to go out with her, man?"

Jimmy looks down at the ground, thinking about his answer before replying.

__Jimmy: "She's…different. She's not like most girls I meet. She's pretty, and good at cooking, and she's really nice, and she has this certain…I dunno, 'vibe' to her…"

He looks at his friends with a look of slight determination.

__Jimmy: "But more importantly, I like her a lot and I want to try and ask her on a date. So will you all please stop teasing me about it?"

Sol gives an amused smile, and chuckled.

__Sol: "Alright, alright. We'll lay off it for now, man. No more teasing about it."

DJ Iz nodded in agreement while Future shrugged, seeming slightly disappointed at the loss of material to tease Jimmy with. Even Cheddar Bob nodded in agreement.

__Jimmy: "And what the fuck y'all are doing here?"

He asked more detented

Future, Sol, DJ Iz, and Cheddar Bob all looked at each other, as a slightly sheepish look came on each of their faces.

__Future: "Uh…just came to see you, man. We were bored, and thought we'd see if you wanted to hangout with you for a bit…" Future spoke up, giving a slightly sheepish expression.

__Jimmy: "Alright, it's not like I have anything to do now that y'all ruin our moment."
