Peas and Carrots Chapter 24 "Okay, that�s it. I can�t take it anymore!� I shouted as I jumped on him, landing on his stomach. �Ooof!� exclaimed Nick as he took his hands from behind his back to grab his stomach. I was still sitting on him when he was attempting this, so it was rather hard for him to accomplish this feat. �So? What is it? Or do I have to start bouncing on your stomach?� I said, looking down at him. He tried to reply to me, but couldn�t. He managed to mouth something to me, but I can�t read lips very well. I guess I had knocked the wind out of him. �Nick?� I asked as I got off of him and kneeled on the floor next to the bed so I was eye-level with him. �Are you okay? I didn�t mean to knock the wind out of you. I�m sorry.� I was worried that I had hurt him. I saw a devilish grin start to appear at the corners of his mouth. �Nick? I said are you okay? Say something!� As soon as I was done talking, Nick lunged forwards at me, hitting me and sending us both sailing to the ground. We ended up in a wrestling match that seemed to last for at five minutes. I�m not sure how long it actually was, because you know how time flies when you�re having fun, don�t you? I tried pinning Nick to the ground like he had done to me at the beach, but couldn�t quite master it. I had never won any of the wrestling matches against my brother, and Nick is a lot bigger than my brother will ever be, so I was sure to lose. Sure enough, Nick won, pinning my shoulders to the ground and sitting on my legs. �Well?� I asked as I stared back up at Nick, noticing for the first time how pretty his eyes were. I�ve always had a thing for eyes. People say eyes are the window to the soul. They were just something I seemed to noticed a lot. �Well, what?� replied Nick, not knowing what I was talking about, obviously. �Well,� I began, wondering if I should say it, �are you going to kiss me, or what?�Next: Chapter 25 |
