(!$%^&*)
"What happened?!" Three girls squealed together.
"ROGER KISSED ME!!" I shouted, totally elated. I heard them squeal and Mo's bed squeak from them bouncing with excitement. I laughed as I sat up, I couldn't stop smiling! I closed my eyes and sighed happily as I fell back with my head on my pillows. I heard them giggle all over again. "What ya'll giggling at?"
"YOU!" Mo responded. They giggled.
"You're sighing like a love sick girl!" Mimi told me, still giggling.
"You've got it bad, huh?" Angel asked teasingly.
"So oh-so-very bad." I responded honestly. The giggling stopped abruptly. "I feel lightheaded and I can't stop smiling. I close my eyes and I can see his face and I swoon! Swoon! He's all I can think about. It's like he's chocolate, or sex or other things that make life worth living. He's like a perfect sunrise after the perfect nights sleep. Like a favorite song that makes you smile after a crappy day. He's like a hot shower after a cold miserable day. He makes me feel safe and loved and happy. He's a star in the night, bright and guiding in the darkness. He's like the… he's like AIR!" I finished, sighing I laid there.
"Wow" Mo said weakly.
"He's the one who you can't stop thinking about. The one that has all power over you and you get excited when you think of the fact. The one who has the power to destroy you and you're terrified that you'll get hurt but you can't not be with him. He's your everything." Mimi continued for me.
"Exactly!" I exclaimed.
There was a silence as we thought. But silences never last with us
"You think his friend Collins like me?" Angel asked hopefully.
"Seduce him, girl!" I encouraged. "Like anyone can refuse you!"
"Yeah! Go for it!" Mo tempted.
"I'll help!" Mimi squealed.
"Mark, Mom needs to talk to you." Cindy said from behind my door in the hallway.
"'Kay!" I shouted. "I'll call ya'll later, 'kay? Bye."
I went down stairs to see Mom sitting at the table, crying softly. Dad sat near hear, arms around her, tears in his eyes and smiling. I looked at Cindy and she smiled and shook her head at Mom's behavior.
"Mom, it's not a big deal" Cindy said, blushing slightly. I then noticed the ring on Cindy's ring finger.
"HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!" I yelped. "YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED?!"
"Mark!" My mom exclaimed, shocked. But I ignored her. I ran to Cindy and gave her a huge hug. She laughed was we jumped around. I could not believe it!
"Mark" my dad says. "You're Mom and I are going tomorrow to get your grandma. We'll be gone 3 days okay? Cindy's gonna be here but we leave in," he checks his watch "fifteen minutes."
"Yeah, Dad" I smiled at him.
"I'm gonna finish packing, babe." My Dad kisses my Mom's forehead then goes to Cindy. "I love you, baby girl." He hugs her then me. As he walks out of kitchen, he turns and smiles at us.
"I'm gonna help him." She did the same thing as Dad then went upstairs. Cindy sat down at the table and smiled. I sat beside her and we talked as our parents packed.
"How'd he do it?" I asked eagerly.
"We were laying in bed" Cindy started.
"After having sex" I added. She gave me a look then giggled.
"Don't tell Mom or Dad!" she told me. "How'd ya know?"
"Two grown adults in a relationship? Not to hard to figure out" I smiled at her. "And you use to sneak out at night." She giggled at that.
"Then he just looked at me, got the ring out the dresser next to his bed and gave it to me!" Her eyes got teary. "I love him so much."
"You feel lightheaded and You can't stop smiling. You close your eyes and you can see his face and you swoon. He's all you can think about. It's like he's chocolate, or sex or other things that make life worth living. He's like a perfect sunrise after the perfect nights sleep. Like a favorite song that makes you smile after a crappy day. He's like a hot shower after a cold miserable day. He makes me feel safe and loved and happy. He's a star in the night, bright and guiding in the darkness. He's like the… he's like AIR!" I say, remembering my conversation with the girls. "He's the one who you can't stop thinking about. The one that has all power over you and you get excited when you think of the fact. The one who has the power to destroy you and you're terrified that you'll get hurt but you can't not be with him. He's your everything."
"Yeah, exactly!" She says excitedly. Then she realizes that I was the one who said it. "OMIGOSH! You're in love! Tell me who the lucky lady is!"
"It'snotagirl" I say very fast, looking down.
"What?" Cindy's head is tilted to the side in confusion.
"It's not a girl" I say very slow.
"Omigosh" Cindy whispers, eyes wide. "How long have you known?"
"A while" I mumble, looking at the table. I hear her chair moving and then feel her arms wrap around me. I bury my head in her neck an hug her back.
"I still love you, no matter what, understand" Cindy's voice was fierce. "I'll have Mike kill anyone who is mean to you."
"Roger's back" I told her. "He'll do that."
"Who's this mystery man?" She teases.
Before I can answer, Mom and Dad come it to the room. "Tell ya later." I whisper then, after a great big squeeze, I let go. Mom takes my place and gives her a giant hug. She turns to me and gives me an equal size hug. Dad does the same and then they leave.
"About me staying here" Cindy begins.
"You're really staying with Mike." I finish for her, smiling. Just then he pulls up to the curb. Cindy gives me one last hug then walks to the car. She stops and turns to me.
"Who is he?"
I smile. "Roger."
"Should've known" she says as she walks to the car. I watch as they drive away. I turn and see that the black car was gone, but Mr. Davis was still here. It must be Roger's car. I'm dating a guy with a car. I smile at that thought. Then I start to panic. What if that was a one time thing? What if he didn't mean it? What if there's someone else? I race to my room and frantically dial Mo's number.
"Hello?" Angel's voice answers after two rings. The background is silent, they must be watching a movie.
"What if that was a one time thing? What if he didn't mean it? What if there's someone else?" I repeat my thoughts. "What if he's just using me?"
"Marky, baby calm down." Angels commands but I couldn't.
"What if it was pity?" My voice panicky, "What if he realizes he doesn't want to be with me?" I started to sob hysterical.
"Marky! Calm down" Mo's voice enters the conversation.
"Breath, baby" Mimi advises. "Remember to breath okay. He won't do that. I saw the way he looked at you, baby don't worry. Calm down. Blowing it out of proportion won't help. Breath." I start breathing again. "Now remember how he looked at you. Can you do that? Tell me if he could not mean it."
I see him outside looking up. I gave him a smile and a small wave, both of which he returned. I grinned. "No" I said finally. "He can't not mean it" I hope.
"Good" She sounds satisfied. "Now take a hot shower and go to bed."
"Good night." I said to them.
"Good night" they chorused back.
As I got my things for a shower, I could still see his smile. I floated through my room and into the bathroom. I turned the shower on and got in. The water burned for a little, then I got use to it. As I let the hot water glide over my body, I closed my eyes and saw him. I felt myself harden at the sight of him. I jerked myself off to thoughts of him and what happened tonight. It wasn't the first time I did this to thoughts of him but I still felt a little shameful. As I turned of the shower, I thought of him, as I went to my room I thought of him. After I got dressed I looked out the window to see him. He and his family were outside and looked like they were having fun. As I lay an inch from sleep, I saw his face.
I'm in so deep.
