Did she ask me to kiss her again? Or was I dreaming?
"You want me to kiss you?" I asked.
Lily twirled a lock of hair with her finger. Her face was slowly turning red. She avoided my eyes like she was nervous.
"Yea...I would like you to kiss
The door burst open, and Trayce and Keira walked in. Keira was wearing tight leather pants with a red cropped top that barely covered her breasts. She has a great body, and we had a lot of fun together, but I didn't feel a certain jolt of electricity running through my veins when I kissed her as I did with Lily.Keira saw me, and her eyes lit up."Jacob! I haven't seen much of you lately," she whispered in my ear with that sexy
"That's not how you eat sushi, you uncultured swine!" Lily screamed as I stabbed the sushi in the middle with my fork.We were sitting in a Japanese restaurant that Lily picked out because she insisted on taking me out on a date, and I couldn't say no to those big blue eyes."Well, it's food and forks were invented to pick up food with, so that's what I am doing?" I asked.
Lily and I have been going out for a week since the night we kissed. I guess you could say we are dating. I never imagined myself being with a girl and calling her my girlfriend, but I wanted to call her that. I didn't have the guts to say it out loud. I cared deeply for her. Hell, I think I am in love with her. But I couldn't tell her that. I was afraid. Deep down, I knew I was a total reject compared to her, and I wasn't ready to face the truth.On the day of her birthday, I went home from school. I heard a commotion in the kitchen, so I went to see what was going on.
I was finally released from the hospital, so I drove myself home. My injured ribs hurt like hell, but I tried to ignore it and toughen up. I texted Lily and said, hey."I am so mad at you right now,"she replied."I know, princess, I am sorry," I texted.
"I...I am fine. It..its nothing," I stammered and put my hand on my side. My face betrayed me and reflected pain that contradicted my words.Lily didn't hesitate for one minute. She lifted my shirt, revealing the big ugly black and blue bruise on my ribs. Her face twisted into a frown."Oh my god! You are hurt. Why wouldn't you tell me, you stupid head?" she scolded. "Let's get you to bed," she said and grabbed my hand.
My injuries weren't completely healed, but I could go to school again and resume my normal activities. I had to take it easier since rough movement hurt like a bitch. That means no more manhandling or beating up nerdy kids.Not that I was doing that anymore anyway. Despite my same old miserable home-life, I was much happier, thanks to Lily. My girlfriend. The word girlfriend still seemed foreign to me, but I was slowly getting used to it.
"Thank you, Valencia," I said quietly. Even though I said I didn't care about her approval, it felt nice to be accepted.She directed me upstairs to Lily's room. I went inside and sat on her bed. She had the most girlish room I've ever seen.Keira was right about one thing. Lily was definitely the cutesy type, the kind I usually stayed away from. Who knew I would fall head over heels for someone like that?
"Sorry I can't hang out with you this Saturday." Lily pouted."Why not?" I asked."One of my friends from my old high school is coming over to visit, so I promised him I would keep this Saturday free to catch up," she replied.Him? A hint o
