TAYA's POV : At first I thought about jumping down, but then my brain kicked in. Take the damn stairs! My feet turned on their heels instinctively. I was feeling a mix of emotions as I ran down the staircase— angry, happy, confused, relieved, everything all at once. "Judah...?" I stopped as I finally reached the last step down. "Wow, you look amazing," he shook his head from side to side as he studied me, "Love what you did with your hair," It really was him, nonchalant and cool as always. But I was not cool. I couldn't contain it anymore. Tears rolled down my face and my hand went to cover my mouth in disbelief. I wanted to speak but I was rendered speechless. I had so many things I wanted to say. Too many. I wanted to scream and yell at him too. But everything fell away the moment I saw his face again. "Hey, why are you crying?" he said as he closed in on me. His arms stretched out as he was about to hug me, but I quickly stepped back and shoved him away instead. "You left
Kissing the Bad Boy 79: The Silver Lining
JUDAH’s POV :* DING! *The elevator door opened with a ding and I stepped right out. A long dark desk stood in front of me and the man behind it lifted his gaze up to meet mine. He was sitting in this room all alone as his other bodyguards had been directed somewhere else.He was shocked to see someone entering the room, and his frown grew deeper as he studied my face. And when the realization hit him, his eyes widened in shock."Hello, father," I smiled. “It’s been a while,”"...Jaden?" he croaked.“No. That’s not my name. My name’s Judah now,”“W—what are you doing here?” he sat back in his chair, eyeing me from head to toe. Then he looked behind me to make sure I was alone, and his eyes scanned the room for his guards, though none of them were around.“I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” I said when I saw his hand reaching under the table. “If you sound the alarm, you’re gonna cause a riot. They’ll then take you to the South Gate and that’s not the place you wanna be,”Dad furrowed

TAYA's POV :Our hair, body, and clothes were soaked, but we didn't care.With our hands clasped together, we just laughed at the people who gave us weird looks as we made our way back inside. Not everyone was giving us weird looks though, some people cheered and whistled at us too. Principal Finn had a concerned look on his face, and Judah just flashed him a wink.We were making a dash out of the ballroom, followed by claps and cheers. I wished we could stay for one more dance, but Judah had given me an offer I couldn't refuse.As we made our way out to the parking lot, I caught a glimpse of Hallee's red dress stuck amongst a row of bushes. I couldn't help laugh a little, wondering about that girl and her bushes fetish."After you, my lady," Judah had his hand out to me as we reached his motorcycle."Why, I thought you said chivalry's dead?" I said as I took his hand, and he led me gently up the bike."Not tonight," and that boyish smirk came out again.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Kissing the Bad Boy 81: The Moving Mountains
TAYA's POV :- - - - - THREE WEEKS LATER - - - - -I hadn't been this nervous since the time I stood on a stage for the play. And here I was again, standing in front of hundreds and hundreds of my family and friends on a makeshift stage in the middle of the football field.I knocked the microphone in front of me a few times and coughed to loosen up my throat. The feedback rang and I stopped the knocking immediately."Teachers and faculty, family and friends, and our fellow graduating seniors, first of all, I'd like to say congratulations to us all, we've made it," I said as I took in a deep breath, staring out into the sea of faces in front of me."I'm standing here today as your senior class representative, and I'm supposed to give you a speech, to reflect back on our high school days and to motivate you all for the upcoming future. But let's be honest, that's a load of crap," short laughs echoed through the air and I sighed a breath of relief."Honestly, I don't even know how I got
Kissing the Bad Boy 82: The Fantastic Four
TAYA’s POV :We had some time to kill before the graduation party, so Gabe, Hallee, Judah, and I piled into Jesse’s truck and we headed to the beach. Still wearing our bright blue caps and gowns, we were standing in the back of the truck with the wind blowing against us. We were laughing, cheering, and hollering at the sky. And I was laughing so much, my cheeks were hurting.A lot of things would change after this summer, so the four of us were to determined to make our remaining days count. In just a couple of days, Hallee would be leaving on a cross-country road trip with Jesse to the east coast. Gabe would be staying in Hawaii until August, and then he’d move to Nashville. Meanwhile, Judah and I were staying for a few more weeks before leaving for California.I was super excited, but also kind of sad. I was feeling hopeful, but also a little scared. It was a strange mix of emotions, and I wasn’t the only one feeling it. I knew my friends were going through the same thing, which was
Kissing the Bad Boy 83: The Fear Factor
JUDAH's POV :"If you just want some cake, you could've just told me. Don't have to kidnap me all the way to the other side of town," I said playfully as I followed her deeper into the woods."Ha-ha, very funny," she ignored me and just kept on walking."Seriously, what the hell are we doing here?"After a good mile or so, we finally arrived at the waterfall. The same one that we went to after the homecoming dance. We got a little drunk and she and I went skinny dipping. That was one hell of a night.Maybe she's taking me here to finish what we started before...?"Well, we're gonna be leaving Kauai in just a few weeks. But there are still a few things I wanna do before I go, so..." she started."You wanna do it with me in the waterfall?" I blurted."Judah! No!" she gaped."Honestly, I wouldn't mind," I smirked and she rolled her eyes at me."Keep rolling those pretty eyes, and I'mma show you something that'll roll your eyes so far back...""Judah!" she pleaded for me to stop, and of c
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
