WOW TWO UPDATES IN ONE WEEK!?!?

I went to a UCLA game tonight with my bball team and that was pretty cool.

I kinda want to go there now!

Anyways on to what you guys really care about!

The kiss was long and lingering and when we broke apart we didn't talk for a long time.

"We should probably go," Carlos said, his voice husky and sleepy, "It's late and we still have school tomorrow."

"Yeah. You could stay at my place tonight. I mean if you wanted too!" Wow way to be straight forward Cecil.

"Your parents wouldn't mind?" He said twisting a strand of my light hair between his dark fingers.

"Umm no," I don't want to tell him the truth yet, "My mom's on a business trip for a while." I say avoiding his gaze.

"Cool," he places a soft kiss on top of my head, "Lets go."

It's around 12:45 a.m. when we get to my house. We walk slowly up the stairs to my bedroom, pausing only once to entwine hands.

I open my door and I realize how messy it is. I kinda freak out.

"Oh my glow cloud! I'm so sorry! I didn't realize how messy my room was!" I put my head in both of my hands to cover my face.

"Cecil," I hear as I look up. Carlos takes my hands in his and presses them to his lips, "It's fine. Really. Mine is so much worse."

I can feel the blush rising on my face and pull away my hands embarrassed.

"Hey Cec, where's your bathroom?"

"Down the hall," I say.

"Okay, I'll be right back."

He leaves without another word. I decide that while he's in the bathroom I'll get my pj's on. I find the least embarrassing pair, which happens to be a purple shirt and pants with crescent moons on them. It was that or a purple dinosaur onesie.

I finish putting on my pajamas right as I here the bathroom door open. I turn to speak, but holy shit, the words are caught inside. Carlos walks out in only boxers and my heart skips a beat. He's so perfect.

"Don't stare too long," Carlos says with a smirk as I snap out of my daze.

"I-I'm sorry," I turn away quickly to shield my eyes. Before long I feel arms snake around my torso and pull me into an embrace.

"I was kidding," Carlos mumbles into my ear, "You can look at me whenever you want."

I turn my head and press my lips to his. He tastes sweet like sugar and the taste is addicting. I'll never get enough.

He pulls back leaving me stunned for a moment. I look at him with wide eyes and am about to speak when he opens his mouth to talk, "We should probably go to bed now, Cecil. We have to wake up early for school."

"Y-yeah okay." I reach and lift up the covers so we can both get under them. It's kinda awkward at first but we eventually settle into a comfortable position. The spooning position.

I'm the little spoon and Carlos is the big spoon, but I'm not complaining.

"Hey Carlos?" I ask, the curiosity getting the best of me.

"Hmmmm?" He hums and I can feel the vibration from behind me.

"Does this mean, we're.... you know.... dating?"

It takes him a few seconds to speak, but then he asks, "Hey Cecil, want to be my boyfriend?"

I tilt my head up so that I'm looking at him, "Of course!"

"Then yes, we are dating."

With that I close my eyes, a small smile on my face. I'm about to fall asleep when I feel a hand twine with mine. I give it a small squeeze and drift off into the best sleep I've had in a long time.
