Anna has had to bide her time, as her mother says, on talking to Jake. Because his grandfather came to stay for Passover, and there are things you just cannot talk about in front of grandparents. It's just too embarassing.
It's even worse when the person hanging around is Jake's older brother Nate.
So she has had to watch for an opportunity for ever and ever.
It's all very trying, really.
But her patience has paid off, because Anna has just spotted Jake out in his driveway, riding up and down on his skateboard, and no one else is around.
So without asking for permission, Anna heads out the front door and across the street.
Jake almost falls off the skateboard trying to not ride right into Anna, who stands blocking his way, with her hands on her hips.
"Anna, you're in the way," he says, but he stops, and gets off the skateboard.
Anna waits until his feet are firmly on the ground, and then she shoves him, hard, in the shoulder with one hand. "Why did you kiss me?"
"Ow." Jake frowns at his shoulder, pointedly, and then shrugs. "I dunno. Wanted to."
"Well, that's not a good reason. You can't just go around kissing people because you want to. They may not want you to kiss them."
"Did you not want me to kiss you?" Jake asks.
"Well, not without asking."
"So if I ask, can I kiss you again?"
"Only if I say 'yes.'" Anna tells him.
Duh.
"If I ask, are you gonna say 'yes'?"
"If you ask, I'm only going to say 'yes' if you're going to be my boyfriend. I'm not going to let somebody kiss me if he's not my boyfriend. I'm not that kind of girl."
Anna has only a vague idea of what "that kind of girl" is, but she's very clear on that fact that she doesn't want to be one.
"Okay," Jake says. "I guess I'll be your boyfriend."
"Then I guess you can kiss me again. If you ask. Nicely."
