Kissing the Bad Boy 84: The Bucket List
JUDAH’s POV :"There's something I've been meaning to tell you, and it's been a long time coming..." I paused for a moment to take a deep breath. “And since we’re defying our fears today…”"Judah, what is it?" Blondie gave me a puzzled look as I stretched out my right hand to her."Hi... my name is Jaden... well, it's Judah now, but that's beside the point..." I started rambling."Judah, what are you doing?" she narrowed her eyes at me, but she took my hand anyway."I wanna thank you for sharing your lunch with me. And for the Band-Aids too. And I just wanna say, you're the coolest girl in this entire playground and you have the prettiest eyes I've ever seen..."Those were the exact words that little seven year old me wanted to tell her all those years ago. I had practiced that line so many times in front of my bathroom mirror. Corny maybe, but for a seven year old, I thought that wasn't so bad."I've waited years to tell you that. I've wanted to tell you since the first day we met at
Kissing the Bad Boy 85: The Cliff Hanger
TAYA's POV :“10 dollars each for an entrance ticket? That’s a total rip-off,” Judah scoffed as we made our way into the Kilauea Lighthouse.“I know,” I sighed in agreement. “But hey, they go towards protecting the birds, so I guess it’s a good cause?”Today was the first official day of summer and we kicked things off by checking another thing off my bucket list. I never did anything touristy on this island because I never imagined leaving the place. But now, doing touristy things made up about half the things on my list.The Kilauea Lighthouse was this cute little lighthouse located on a rocky peninsula with fantastic views along the coast. It was also a wildlife refuge and you could see many seabirds flying by, and even whales in the wintertime. Or, at least that was what the brochure read.Unfortunately, when we got up there, the sky looked gloomy like it was about to rain, and there were no birds in sight. And we couldn’t get inside the lighthouse, so we just walked around it. Ju
Kissing the Bad Boy 86: The Sunday Best
JUDAH’s POV :“One, two, and kick!” I said as I moved my feet. Blondie and I were standing in her backyard on a Sunday afternoon and I was showing her how to do a proper kick. She looked at me for a moment before attempting her own.“Like this?” her feet were wobbly, which meant she had to work on her posture.“Try bringing your right foot higher, and bend your left knee a little,”If you were wondering why we were doing this on a Sunday, well, this was another thing on Blondie’s bucket list. She wanted to learn self defense, and all that knowledge I accumulated from the fighting ring finally could do something good.“Like this?” she asked as she fixed her posture.“No, it’s more like… this,” I said as I held her foot up higher. When I was doing this, I ended up standing a bit too close to her. Our faces were a mere inch away, and I could only gulp like an idiot.“Judah…” she said.“Yeah?”“You can let go of my leg now,” She was blushing a little, and she motioned for her dad and Ka
Kissing the Bad Boy 87: The Wild World
TAYA’s POV :“I can’t believe I’m leaving Hawaii tomorrow!” Hallee screeched as soon as we sat down at our usual booth in Zippy’s. It was her last night here, so Judah, Gabe, Jesse, her, and I decided to have our last supper together at her favorite loco moco place.“How are you feeling?” I asked her.“I feel like I’m going crazy! I keep packing and unpacking my bags, making sure I got everything ready. I got everything with me, but I feel like I’m missing something, you know?”Judah and I exchanged a look and we grinned sheepishly at her.“Wow, that sounds crazy,” he commented.“Anyway, I’m glad we’re meeting here and not in my house. It’s a total titanic situation in there,” she sighed as she waved the waiter over to us. “Hey, six orders of the usual please,”“Sure, coming right up,” the waiter nodded and left.“Six orders?” I asked her and motioned between the five of us.“I know, but I’m stressed, so I’m binging,” she said simply.“How are your parents doing?” Gabe asked.“My mom’

TAYA’s POV :- - - - - One Week Later - - - - -“Taya, honey,”This morning, I woke up to my mom’s voice calling after me. I felt the bed dip and I stirred and groaned. I slept pretty late last night because I was binge watching Stranger Things on Netflix.And since I’m not a high school student anymore, aren’t we done with this? “Wake up, sweetie,” she said again when I refused to open my eyes.“Mom, what is it?” I sighed dramatically. “It’s Saturday morning… and I’m not in school anymore!”“I know, but you have company downstairs,” she said.Out of curiosity, I peered my eyes open. “Who?”“Who else,” she smiled knowingly. She leaned down and kissed my forehead, saying, “Oh, and happy birthday, sweetie,”That’s right! It’s my birthday today!Mom didn’t say anything else and she walked out of my room with a naughty smile playing on her face. My body jerked up instinctively. There could only be one person crazy enough to show up unannounced and wake me up at eight in the morning on a
Kissing the Bad Boy 89: The Light Chasers
JUDAH’s POV :* HONK! * HONK! *“Come on, Judah! Rise and shine!”Parked right outside my house, Blondie was beaming and honking the car. She was wearing a pair of sunglasses, a simple tank top, and jeans. Her hair was tied into a ponytail and there were two large cups of iced coffees in the cup holders. This could only mean one thing, she meant business.“Blondie… the sun’s not even out yet!” I protested as I neared the car.Ignoring me, she simply asked, “Did you bring a change of clothes like I told you?”I lifted the duffel bag in my hand. “Yeah, and what are we doing exactly?”“You ask too many questions, Judah,” she rolled her eyes and pushed the car door open, gesturing for me to get in. “Come on, chop-chop, we got places to be!”* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *The next thing I knew, Ed Sheeran was blasting on the radio as Blondie drove us to the highway. The cool breeze was blowing in our hair and the sun was just rising. I was a
Kissing the Bad Boy 89: The Diamond Sky
TAYA’s POV :We were sitting under a bed full of stars. And they were shining so bring, they looked like diamonds scattered across the Milky Way. I had never seen anything more magical than this. I was completely in awe, but Judah didn’t look so impressed.“What?” I asked him. “You know a better spot than this in Hawaii?”“Of course,” he said.“Where?”He put a hand on the side of my cheek, tilting my face towards his. And with that sexy smile on his face, he aimed for my lips and said, “Right… here,”Oh, that was so smooth.His lips landed on top of mine gently and I tilted my face to the side, allowing for more access. Tightening his grip on my face, Judah deepened the kiss and I kissed him back with the same hunger and passion. Though it was cold out here, my body was burning up. Soft moans escaped my lips and Judah’s tongue slid his way into my mouth. Our tongues met and they tangled breathlessly as warmth and desire overtook our bodies.Pulling away slightly, Judah threw the blan

Finally, it was time for Judah and me to leave for California. We got our two big suitcases with us and we were ready to go. Except, mom and Jenny kept trying to hold us from leaving, giving us advice after advice.The two of them exchanged a look and a smile. They had been giving us the same advice over and over again the past week. But like Jesse said, moms will be moms.“You’re right,” mom sighed finally. “I know you two will be fine,”“But please, call us anyway,” Jenny added.“We will,” Judah said as he hugged his mom. “I’ll miss you ma,”“I’ll miss you too, sweetheart,” Jenny started crying as she leaned
