alley.
Our mouths opened wider and I felt his tongue roam over mine. But before I could respond, I started gagging and choking.
Blake pulled away quickly. “My gum!”
I nodded, hitting my chest to release both wads from the back of my throat. They popped forward and I gasped, sucking in a
few breaths and coughing.
“Are you okay?” Blake looked concerned as he patted my back awkwardly.
I nodded and pulled out the gum, holding it up between us. We both stared at the connected wads for a moment, then looked
at each other and busted out laughing.
“Want your gum back?” I asked between gasps.
Blake shook his head. “You keep it,” he said. “Consider it a gift.”
“How thoughtful.” I rolled the gum wad into a dirty ball and wrapped it in one of the gum wrappers I’d stuffed into my pocket.
“Are you two going to eat with us or get a room?” Bus Boy’s voice startled me. He and Jilly stood on the sidewalk; Jilly had
her hands on her hips, eyebrows raised.
Bus Boy glanced at the bush. “Oh, I see that instead of a room, you got a hedge.”
My cheeks warmed and I pushed past them all to the sidewalk. “I’m hungry.”
“Worked up a little appetite, Erin?” Jilly asked as she fell into step beside me. She grabbed my arm and leaned toward me
so her lips were practically inside my ear. “Were you guys making out?”
“Jilly!” The boys were only a few feet behind. Couldn’t we talk about this later? But she was looking at me with such eagerness,
I had to give her something. “We kissed,” I whispered.
She squealed and squeezed my arm. “I knew it!”
“But not for long,” I said. “I practically choked on his gum.”
Jilly looked at me. “What?” Then she laughed and shook her head.
“I know,” I said. “Only
I
would choke on the guy’s gum the first time we make out.”
“At least you’ll remember it,” Jilly said, tucking her arm through mine.
