Chapter 7
I and Jones walked out of the school, when we got out I saw a tesla parked in the parking lot next to Betty's mom's car. It was surprising because I never knew or saw it when I and the girls came to school. Jones held my hand and led me to the tesla, when we got to the tesla, he opened the door and stood behind it.
I was short of words, how come he has a tesla and doesn't show off? I got into the front seat, and when I got in I enjoyed that sweet car smell, it was even sweeter because I was inside the car of the one guy that was driving me crazy.
He got into the driver's seat and shut the door.
"So where are we going?" I asked
"Well, there's this new cool place down the street, it's like a cinema but we'll be in the car, we'll get some drinks, some food and spend time together in front of a big screen watching a movie," he said.
It sounded really fun to me so I smiled at him,
"It sounds fun,".
Jones smiled and nodded his head, then he drove us to the Cinema, or park, or whatever it's called. on our way there, Jones told me a lot about himself.
Steven Jones
Jones is a 17 years old guy, he's from Canada and he just moved to the united state two months ago. He has a little sister named Nora and an elder brother named Josh.
When we arrived at our destination, we found a good parking space which was not so far from the big movie screen. The place was quite romantic, the sun had gone down, and they were lots of cars around us. The place was quiet and there was this big movie screen.
Jones locked the car and removed his seat belt. He glanced at me, but I didn't look at him because I was so shy. He slowly touched my cheek with his palm and rubbed it unhurriedly with his thumb,
"There's a mini-mart at the back, can I get you anything there?" he asked, Though I wasn't hungry, I said "Yes,". He asked me what I wanted and I told him I wanted ice cream.
"Okay," he said and walked out of the car and shut the door, immediately he left I quickly pulled out my phone to text Betty but he came back, he opened the door and turned on the air conditioner, he then smiled at me and left.
I had no idea what Jones was up to because I was extremely shy and it made me feel cold even when the air conditioner wasn't on, now he turned on the air conditioner I felt like I was going to catch a cold.
Jones returned with a cute shopping bag,
"I'm sorry I'm late, I ran into an old friend from canada," he said,
"It's okay,"
"Sure, here is your ice cream," he said and gave me the ice cream I asked for, I dropped it on my lap and began to press my phone because I was also shy to eat in his presence. He put his hand into the shopping bag again and brought out a good-looking chicken breast, he pointed it to me but I was so shy to take it off his hand. Jones smiled and dropped the chicken breast,
"I know you're shy Angie, but trust me it's okay and if you don't take my chicken breast I'll feel bad because I bought it for you," he said.
I picked the chicken breast and looked at it,
"It's good-looking," I said as we both chuckled.
"Now come on and eat your ice cream before it melts," he said and opened his ice cream, he ate a spoon of ice cream, and then his phone rang. He looked at his phone and sighed, "Hold on a sec," he said and walked out of the car to take the call. Immediately he left, I called Betty and she picked up the call immediately.
"Betty I'm so nervous," I said
"Aww my baby is nervous," Betty said, "How is it going?"
"Well it's okay, he got me ice cream and chicken breast,"
"Chicken breast?" Betty asked,
"Yeah,"
{Lola collected the phone from Betty}
"Angie, do not eat the chicken breast," she said,
"Lola, is that you?"
"Yeah it's me, we're all here at Betty's house. Angie don't eat the chicken breast,"
"Okay but why? you're scaring me,"
"Because he might want to kiss you and it won't make sense if he kisses you with chicken oil stained on your lips,"
"No that's impossible, he wouldn't want to kiss me,"
Before Lola could say anything else Jones came back into the car so I hung up the call and looked at him,
"That was my mom," said Jones,
"Oh, is everything fine?"
"Sure it is, she asked me to get something for her on my way home," he said and looked at the melted ice cream on my lap,
"Finally the ice cream melted," he said and smiled,
"I am so sorry Jones," I said and began to shiver,
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know you were cold," he said and tried to turn off the A.C but I stopped him because, in a way, I liked it. Later on, there was this weird silence in the car, we both didn't say anything, we were sitting in the car watching the movie, then I got a text from Lola,
Don't eat the chicken breast
I smiled at the message and continued to watch the movie.
"So..." he said and looked at me, "Am I the one that feels weird about this silence?" he asked,
"I feel weird too," I said then we both laughed. After we both laughed, we kept looking at each other, I was so shy but I don't know what gave me the confidence to maintain eye contact with him.
"You're so beautiful," he said, I remained quiet and continued to look at him, "I realized how beautiful you are yesterday when you sat on my seat, and since then I've been thinking about you, I tried to talk to you again but I didn't know how to start a conversation with you, so when I saw you on my seat this morning, I was so glad that I have another chance to talk to you," he said.
I honestly didn't know what to say so I remained quiet and kept looking at him.
"Are you still cold?"
"Uh... yeah but it's okay,"
Jones pulled his Jacket and wore it on my shoulders.
"Can we go to the back seat?" he asked,
"Yeah," I had no idea why he wanted us to go to the back seat but I agreed with him. We got to the back seat and it was better because he was closer to me. He glanced at me and licked his lips, he held my cheeks and slowly brought his face closer to mine with his eyes closed, I was so scared when this was happening, when his lips got so close to mine, my phone rang. I tried to pick up the call but Jones collected the phone from my hand and hung up the call.
"Don't let anyone ruin this beautiful moment," he said with this cool deep voice,
"I don't know Jones I'm honestly really nervous,"
"Maybe it's a good thing," he said and slowly joined his lips to my lips. My eyes were closed and I began to enjoy the moment, it was so nice and I felt like I was in heaven getting a kiss from an angel.
He slowly shifted his lips from my lips and looked me right into my eyes without saying a word.
"How do you feel?" he asked,
"I don't know Jones," I said and swallowed the lump in my throat, "I've never done this before,"
"Then I feel honored being the first guy to ever kiss you, ..... come," he said, I moved close to him and leaned my head on his chest, then he placed his arm around my shoulders.
It was a romantic and beautiful moment to spend time with Jones, but it was getting late and we had to go to school tomorrow.
"It's 10 PM, we should go home before our parents kill us," Jones said,
I chuckled,
"Yeah," I said. We both got down from the back seat and went back to the front. Jones started the car and was about to drive off but I remembered he said his mom asked him to get her something. "I thought your mom asked you to get her something?"
"Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me," he drove close to the mini-mart, got what his mom asked him to get, and took me home.
When we got to my house, he looked at me and smiled,
"So... I'll see you tomorrow,"
"Sure," I said and smiled, before I got down from his car he held my hand, "I forgot to get your number,"
"Oh," I smiled and picked up his phone, I wrote down my number and gave him back his phone, "Goodnight," before I got down he held my hand again but this time he softly pulled me close to him until my face was close to his face, he kissed me again and smiled, "Now goodnight," he said. I got down from the car and stood in the parking lot and watched him drive off. After he left I placed my hand on my chest in excitement and sighed. I headed to my house, raised the rug, and got the spare key. I walked straight to my room and fell on my bed with a big smile on my face.
"Let me guess, she finally found someone to love," I sat up and saw mom standing at the door. She walked into my room and sat next to me, "So who is the lucky guy my daughter is in love with?"
I smiled at mom and sighed,
"His name is Jones,"
"Hmm, that's a pretty interesting name,"
"Yeah mom, he's tall, he's muscular, he's super cute and he has a tesla,"
"Well that's quite wonderful, I can imagine how many girls would want him,
"You have no idea mom," I said and we both laughed.
"Just be careful dear, you know how girls could be, they would do anything to have a guy like Jones,"
"Yeah I know mom, but I'll be fine. So what about dad?"
"Oh she's asleep, don't you remember your father is a sleepyhead?"
"I remember mom," I said and laughed,
"So are you hungry, do you want dinner?"
"No mom I'm fine,"
"Alright darling, good night," Mom said and stood up, she yawned and stretched, "I have to go to bed now," she said and walked out of my room.
I removed my clothes, took a shower, and went to bed, it wasn't easy for me to sleep because I kept thinking of my date with Jones and how romantic it was.
