Anovel of the jail bird chapter 7 by naomi

FIVE YEARS AGO, A BUNGEE TOWER IN USA*

"I can't do this!!!" Adeline shouted after the cord was harnessed to her knees and the straps tied to her legs.

Kimberly had suggested they came to try out bungee jumping on that Christmas eve, and she couldn't say no cos she has been wanting to come too.

Bungee jumping is number two in her bucket list, and it's enticing.

"You wanted to come remember? Giving up right now means you're a coward!" Kimberly replied behind her, and the other people present laughed at her tone.

Adeline peeped down from the edge, then she stepped back immediately as her eyes dwindled.

"I really can't do this! Feels like I'm jumping to my death!! I give up!!" She shouted, and the laughter erupted again, but their laughter were cut short when a guy came out from the far back.

His eyes are the first thing Adeline got enchanted by... They're grey and so fuçking beautiful.

He looks the coolest of all the guys there, and he's wearing a beanie cap just like her, though his own is green while hers is white.

"Hey" she waved, smiling sheepishly as she felt a loud thud in her heart.

Love at first sight is for real cos she's experiencing that shit right now.

Who wouldn't?

"Hey, I can go down with you if you don't mind." He said, and she bit her lip before nodding.

"Sure" 

He stayed behind her, and he was strapped with the cords and straps too, together with her.

Kimberly winked at Adeline whose face is a complete shade of red right now, and Adeline smiled back nervously as the guy wrapped his arms around her middle.

"Ready?" The controller of the bungee asked.

"Yeah" the guy answered.

"Yeah" Adeline replied, and then they were pushed.

Adeline let out a maddening scream when she felt the wind carrying her down to the end of the space, and the guy's arms tightened around her despite the straps till they got to the end of the rope and were left hanging at the base.

"Oh my gawd!" Adeline shouted, feeling brave all of a sudden as she took in all the amazing views surrounding her.

"You feel good?" The guy asked behind her, and she smiled.

Though her back is on him and she's not seeing his face right now, she could imagine him smiling his sweetest smile.

"Yeah, thanks to you" she replied.

"My name is Corey... Corey Feldman" he said.

"Adeline Wilson" she replied, and she was shocked when he kissed her neck from behind.

She literally froze, and he leaned into her ear.

"Merry Christmas" he muttered, and that only made her fall deeper.

They were pulled back to the top after a while, and immediately the straps were removed from them, they went to a secluded part of the bridge...

"I've never really had a boyfriend or gone intimate with a guy" she said naively.

"Your sister is overprotective?" He asked, his smile still intact.

"Nope, she's single too, and I'm just twenty" she replied.

"I'm twenty-three, and I've never dated before too" he said.

She should have seen through his fake words.
