Falling In Love

Chapter 5 - Thanksgiving

"So did you invited him for thanksgiving?" Sammy asked while we were taking a walk in the nearest park.

"Who?" I asked.

"Liam, who else?!"

"Oh! No, I didn't."

"Hello, thanksgiving is one week away! When are you gonna invite him?"

"I wasn't planning on inviting him."

"Why?"

"Just cause."

"You know, this is a good chance to introduce him to your mother."

"I know! I don't want to introduce him yet!"

"Why is that?"

"If I will introduce him to my family now then it will be too real too soon."

"Too soon?"

"Yeah, that's what I said!"

"Elean! you are dating this guy for almost five weeks now!"

"Six to be exact!"

Not that it matters but Liam and I had only been on four dates for the past six weeks. It was partially my fault. I wasn't too comfortable going far from my school and home. Honestly, I wasn't comfortable going out at all.

"Okay, six weeks!!!"

"I don't see a point of you repeating after me."

"Young missy six weeks isn't too soon."

"It feels too soon to me."

"Okay. Is there something you aren't telling me?"

"There is but I don't think it's a big deal," I said shrugging.

"You know you can tell me anything whenever you feel like right?"

"Yeah, I know," I said with a smile.

We walked for a few whiles in silence. 

"Sammy."

"Yeah?"

"How many days a person should wait before being intimate?"

"What kind of intimacy are we talking about?"

"Say, kissing?"

"I would say two dates max."

"Oh!"

"Did you and Liam haven't kissed yet?"

"No."

"Look you don't have to be sad about it. It doesn't matter you know. You both are taking things slow and it doesn't have to be like other people," she said reassuringly.

"I am not sad about that. A few days ago when we were talking, he tried to kiss me. However, I backed away."

"Woah! Tell me more!"

"There is nothing more to tell," I sighed.

"Then tell me all about it in detail!!"

"I was on our balcony, he was on the terrace. We were talking, you know just the usual conversation. And he just came forward to kiss me. I mean, his friends were hanging a little away from us. But they sure could see us!"

"Seriously bro, not cool!"

"Right? I mean, is it just me, or all people want their first kiss to be more private and romantic?

"I can tell you it's not just you. I guess that dude needs some help on this area."

"I don't think so. He has been in three other relations. I think it was intentional."

"Intentional? How do you mean?"

"Maybe he had a bet with his friends on kissing me?"

"You think?" she asked, shock apparent on her face.

"Maybe."

"So you backed out after he kissed you?" she asked with a mischievous smile.

"Before he kissed me," I said rolling my eyes.

"Okay.. okay... What are you gonna do about it?"

"I was thinking about confronting him."

"Yeah, you should."

"How about I ask him to meet me at McLaren's on thanksgiving? I will ask him about it there?"

"Okay."

"I would feel much better if you would come with me."

"Sure! Just text me the time okay?"

"Okay."
