Chapter Thirty-five

Erik had to admit it, he missed Jessica. Last night he had finally figured out she was a lot easier to like when she wasn’t around. All he could think about was the way they had left things when they had kissed at her parents’ house. He wondered what she thought about the kiss. Who are you kidding? You wonder if she thinks of it at all.

Erik on the other hand couldn’t seem to get it out of his head. For years he had spent most of his time thinking about the last stupid fight they had gotten into. Now here he was obsessing on kissing her. It was crazy, demented, totally insane. He knew it, but he still couldn’t seem to stop. He sort of wanted to talk with Peter about it, but last time he did that he ended up even angrier at Jessica. In fact, that was when he decided to join them on this trip.

He really needed a plan of his own instead of simply reacting to her like he had been doing lately. Maybe if he had a plan he could stay level headed and then they wouldn’t fight. She’d see he was actually a fun and nice guy. Maybe, eventually, he’d even get a chance to kiss her again; although it would be nice if that happened without her crying.

That idea seemed more like one of the dreams he had been having about her lately. He knew they were dreams right away because they were always laughing together and then whispering and then… Erik sighed, and then they’d share a kiss where she’d look into his eyes and smile.

Erik shook his head trying to dispel his thoughts. God, he really needed to get a life. Okay, he thought, what’s a good plan for being around Jessica on the trip? Maybe if he actually helped her with the bet she would start to trust him a little and wouldn’t think he was trying to make her lose. The problem, though, was that he didn’t really want her to win the bet because that would mean she would actually get to go out with Ian and he knew what that would lead to. He felt his temperature rise just thinking about it.

What on earth was so special about Ian Drake anyway? Maybe, if he dug up some dirt on him he could show Jess it wasn’t worth trying to win this stupid bet. That sounded promising. Only, he knew there was no way Jessica would ever believe anything he told her about Ian.

Think, think, he told himself. There was no way he could convince Peter or Becky to help him with this. Maybe he could send Jessica anonymous notes. But that seemed a little too Mission Impossible. Plus, he was pretty sure she would know it was him sending them.

Erik scratched his head. Why was he wasting so much time on this? What he needed to do was go play tennis. That would help him let go of it all.
