Beat him at his own game

Jenny pulled her body up by Jason's shoulders and pressed herself closer to him. Making her ample bosom be pushed upwards and making Jason swallow heavily as he ended on the receiving end of the teasing. She looked deep into his eyes, while he struggled between looking at her and her chest. After that she kept herself pulled up with one arm as the other traced his collarbone, grazed over his chest and gently brushed down the side of his upper body. Making him shudder, like Jenny had before and making all his hairs stand on end. He grabbed her hand and stopped her from moving further down. "Stop!" This was not what he had expected. He didn't think that Jenny would be this good at this game, making him feel this flustered. His heart felt like it was beating a mile a minute and he had no way to calm it. How confident he was when he had ushered her inside and how badly he had to hold himself back now. It only took her one hand to make him struggle this badly. This time around, it was clearly him who had lost as he stopped her hand before she had even reached his hipbone.

Jenny laughed seeing how quickly Jason was forced to give up. "You are right, this is indeed amusing." After that Jenny placed her hand back on his shoulder and placed a kiss on his lips before she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled herself up fully till she could place her head on Jason's shoulder. Letting out another chuckle as she remembered Jason's face when he stopped her. She could feel his 'excitement' from the moment she pressed up against him, but was determined to make him cave. So, she did what he had done before and searched his limit. Seeing his widened eyes and feeling his rapid heartbeat, she was satisfied that she had beaten him in his own game. The upside to treating these kinds of things as games or challenges, was that it took away the awkwardness while still bringing them closer. Plus, she got to see the flustered Jason. Something she didn't get to see very often as he was usually the one moving at a faster pace, making her be the one to get startled or surprised by his actions. So, these occasions where the shoe was on the other foot helped Jenny realize that she wasn't the only one not used to these things and being nervous. Making her feel more at ease about it all.

Jason let out a deep sigh and gave up as he was fully defeated this time around. He put his arms around Jenny's back and closed his eyes as he too let out puffs of air from his nostrils caused to match his soundless laugh. They couldn't spend long in that position as shortly after they had changed their position both their stomach started to grumble calling out to them to have breakfast, making them laugh out loud simultaneously. "Guess we have had enough fun for one day. Let's get some food in our stomachs." Though Jenny had eaten something, it wasn't much and quite some time had passed since that moment. Having run from the bus stop till the front door didn't help matters either. Jenny stepped out first and put on one of the soft robes they had placed by the side of the large bathtub. After stepping out Jenny grabbed a towel to dry her hair and she glanced down at Jason, who was still in the tub, as she said amusingly, "I'll leave you to take care of that 'problem'" Before stepping out of the bathroom with an audible laughter, leaving Jason mumbling to himself.

After they had both gotten dressed and Jenny had thrown a few more jabs at Jason they headed downstairs. Despite their early morning, Jenny and Jason arrived at the breakfast table at a time that would make their meal be considered brunch instead. While laughing, smiling and chatting they enjoyed their meal under the curious stares of the people around them. Though they had gotten along quite well the past couple of weeks, something still felt different about the way they were interacting today. Though they couldn't determine what it was, they were happy to see them like this. Making one person after another, leave the breakfast room with a smile as they didn't want to disturb the two.

The next few weeks passed by quickly until the final workday at the nursing home had arrived and the exam stress that Jenny had experienced weeks before had now covered the halls of Mountforth High, creeping into all the third year classrooms and the hearts of all the third year students. Those who had managed to keep the stress at bay, were forced to face it when they were given their career plan forms. Parents had to come to the school to discuss how their children were doing and what was needed to be done for them to get into the school of their choice. Inevitably the subject of what they planned to do after graduation became a topic of discussion with the group of friends as well and was brought up during a night of hanging out at the Westwood residence. Though they knew a bit of what the others wanted to do as it had come up in conversations before, now that it was so close to reality the talks had become more serious and detailed, catching more than one person by surprise as the plans were being revealed.
