Gripping onto her hand just slightly tighter then, Jake opened his mouth to say something else, hoping to himself that it would even make since through words. "I..." he started out saying, gazing down at their hands as well, "You just...I don't know how to explain it, but.." he shook his head lightly, "...there's just something about you that drew me closer." he said, quicker than he planned on saying it, but was still understandable, at least he hoped he was. "I kind of...I mean, not to sound like a creeper or anything, but...I kind of want to get to know you more. I-if you don't mind that is." he stuttered out, biting his lip in return.

Hanna's mouth opened, and she looked up at him, wide-eyed. "R-really?" She didn't think she was interesting enough for any guy to pay attention to, let alone want to get to know. "I-I don't mind." She was pretty sure her blush would burn her alive, and his words gave her an odd feeling in her belly and made her heart do a little flip. "I-I want to get to know you too." She turned his hands over so that she could run her fingers across his palms, tracing the lines in his hands gently. "If you don't mind, that is." She giggled that last part, looking back up at him.

Jake slowly nodded, showing her the fact that he really was telling the truth. He looked down at their hands again, watching as her fingers traced along his palm, smiling a bit wider from it tickling just a bit from her light touch. He frowned slightly then, hearing that she wanted to get to know him more as well. He was ecstatic that she felt the same, but at the same time, he wasn't sure if he was really ready to tell her the exact story about him. "I don't mind." he answered her, after a short moment of silence between them. "If you don't mind though, I'd like to talk about yourself first." he wasn't trying to be rude about it, he was just still feeling a bit insecure about spilling his past to just about anyone, let along a girl he literally just met earlier today. He tried not to show that insecurity though, but you could tell that it was beginning to really show in his eyes.

Hanna looked up at him, biting her lip. "Oh...okay." She didn't mind talking about herself, but she wondered why he wanted to talk about her first. "What do you want to know?" Hanna wasn't quite sure where to start, her life was pretty boring according to her. She shifted so that she was facing him better, but still tucked neatly beneath his arm, not wanting to lose that contact.

Jake helped adjust herself to him, as well as himself to her, so he could talk and listen to her better. "Well...um," he bit his lip lightly, "I don't think I ever got your age...I mean, I guess I just assumed you were around my age." he shrugged, showing part of a smile at the corner of his mouth. "Which by the way is seventeen. That's my age, in case you were wondering." he chuckled again, moving his hand so it was back on top of hers again, playing with her fingers some.

"I'm fifteen." Hanna said, scrunching up her nose some. "I feel super young." She sighed. She'd thought he was somewhere near her age, but she'd actually thought he was older than seventeen. "I'm glad your near my age, I thought you were way older than you are." She looked up at him with a small giggle. "Are you just gonna ask me questions?"

Jake laughed a little bit, enjoying watching her nose scrunch up all of a sudden. "It's fine. I'm just glad you're somewhere in high school, and not middle school." he shrugged, "Otherwise this would be kind of awkward with us holding hands and all.." he chuckled out his awkwardness some more, fighting back the urge to bite his lip again as a nervous habit he seemed to have, and instead licked his lips, another habit of his. "Um..I can if you want. Or, you can just tell me a little more about yourself. Grade in school... What you like, dislike... You know, basic stuff." he explained, giving out examples of what she could tell about herself.

"That would be super weird." Hanna agreed, looking down at their joined hands. She glanced up at him right when he licked his lips, and blushed, finding that action strangely attractive. Shaking her thoughts from her head, she looked away again. "Uh, okay." She furrowed her brow as she thought. "Well, I'm in the 10th grade. I like to babysit and..." She frowned a bit. "I dunno. I'm a pretty boring person. I just like spending time with kids, even though I'm not around them much." She bit her lip. "What I dislike? Uh, I dunno. Sports, I guess." She giggled a bit, looking down to trace his hands again. "I'm not very active. I do like to swim though, if that counts." She shrugged, looking up at him. "Anything else?"

"It would." Jake laughed softly, actually enjoying the moment of them taking turns playing with each other's hands. With his eyes still gazed upon their hands, he nodded with what she was telling him, laughing slightly towards the end. "Well, the fact that you like both kids and swimming does make sense." he told her, even if he had brought up that incident multiple times before. He couldn't really help it though. If it weren't for her, it would of been possible that he hadn't seen Sam in the water at all, therefore he might of not of been here this very moment, lying in the bed safe and sound. "That's not too boring though. I still think you're interesting." he reassured her, stroking his thumb against her hand softly, giving a light shrug at her question. "I can't think of anything else at the moment." he said honestly.

Hanna bit her lip, the feeling of his thumb doing strange things to her belly. She squirmed a bit, trying to think of something else to say. "Uh...random facts then?" Without waiting for an answer she said, "My favorite fruit is a banana. My favorite food is pb & j. I've..." She paused, blushing a bit. "I've never had a boyfriend, or been on a date for that matter." Or had her first kiss. Hanna sighed softly.

Jake shrugged, "Random works." he grinned, nodding to each one of her facts she named off. When she got to the last part though, he opened his mouth just slightly enough for it to look like he was going to say something, but took a moment to come up with the words in his head before actually saying them. "Really?" he tilted his head slightly, "Because, well...I've never had a girlfriend before..or been on any kind of date." he muttered out the last few words in his chest, clearing his throat of the lump that started showing up again. "I guess I've just been so busy making sure my siblings were getting what they needed, having a girlfriend, or even getting my first kiss never crossed my mind." Until now.

"I guess everyone just see's me as a younger sister and not as someone they'd want to be with." At his next statement, she looked up at him in surprise. "You've never had your first kiss?" Hanna asked. "M-me either." She looked down, still running her fingers across his palm. She paused in her movements, just holding his hand in both of hers, biting her lip. She briefly wondered if he would consider kissing her, and then blushed at the thought, shaking her head. Hanna looked up at him, and then looked away again, not knowing what else to say.

Jake furrowed his eyebrows at her first remark. "I don't think that's completely true at all. I'm sure at least one guy would be willing enough to go out with you." he reassured her, going back to stroking her hand with his thumb again. He nodded to her, licking his lips again, wondering as well if she would be willing to give him a try, at least with a quick, small kiss anyway. He noticed her give a short glance up at him before looking away, and his head repeatedly kept telling him to kiss her. Kiss her right then and there. He couldn't bring himself to do it though. Which was odd for a guy his age...not being able to get or give a kiss to a beautiful girl like this one in his arms.

"I don't think so." Hanna sighed. She looked back up at him, biting her lip again. She realized then that she wanted him to kiss her. She blushed, licking her lips, and lowered her gaze again. She lowered her gaze again, feeling suddenly nervous. "I...would you...." She finally gave up with a sigh, her hands trembling a bit.

Jake shrugged out a light chuckle, playing with her fingers in his hand again. He took a quick glance down to her then, that nervousness that she had, and when she started saying something, Jake only grew more nervous as well. "Hm?" he asked, as if wanting her to continue with what she was going to say. He had a feeling he already knew though. With his other hand then, he tilted her chin up so he could see her better, smiling when he told her, "I'm sure there's someone out there who would love to spend every waking moment with you. Just like I know there's someone out there for me. We just gotta look." he said with a smile never leaving his lips, their faces just inches from each other now.
