I feel bad because I haven't updated in a while and also because it's kinda another filler chapter. Sorry!
On the bright side I tried to make it a bit longer!
Anyways enjoy:)

The next few weeks flew by in a whirlwind of happiness.
Carlos and I have been on two dates with another coming up tonight. Our first date was at Sammy's Ultimate Sliceria, the best (and only) pizza place in town. I ordered us my favorite, a pepperoni pizza with pineapple slices and no sauce. Needless to say, he loved it!
I've also met his mother! We didn't tell her we were dating, but she looked happy to meet me nonetheless. She lets Carlos come over whenever and she invites me to dinner all the time.
I haven't talked to Earl since that night and I've hardly seen him around school. When I actually do see him he just puts his head down and begins to walk faster.
I feel really bad about what I did to him, but it would've been worse if I had lead him on, right? I do miss him though...
I shake Earl out of my head because I need to get ready for my date with Carlos. I'm not sure where we are going since he said he would pick the spot this time, but I'm curious to find out.
I put on my favorite teal, fluffy sweater, black skinny jeans, purple heeleys and head out the door.
Carlos told me to meet him at his place and we would leave from there.
I arrive ten minutes later and knock on the door. I'm greeted by Carlos's mother. She's a short lady, probably no taller than five feet and she has long brown hair. Carlos obviously gets that from her.
"He's upstairs in his room, honey," she says to me as I head upstairs.
I knock on Carlos's door and hear a muffled, "Come in." I open the door with caution and see Carlos digging through clothes on his floor.
"Hey Cec," he says as he picks a t-shirt up off the ground that reads 'I make horrible science puns, but only periodically.' I laugh unable to help the fact that my boyfriend is a huge fucking nerd and I love it.
"Hey babe, whatcha doin?'" I say sitting in the chair at his desk and looking at him intently.
"I'm looking for a shirt, but I don't know what I want to wear," he picks up another shirt, sighs, and throws it back on the ground.
"You know," I say standing up from the rickety, old desk chair and walking over to Carlos, "You look great in anything." I place a gentle kiss on his lips and when we part we lean our foreheads against each other and stay there breathless.
"Oh really? Anything? Are you sure about that?" Carlos has that tone of voice where he's trying to be seductive and let me say it's working.
"Yes! Now go find a shirt so we can leave, you little horn dog," I say, slightly pushing him towards his closet. He pretends to stumble and looks back at me with a pointed look.
"You know, it takes time to look as good as this!" He motions to himself as I begin to laugh.
"I'm sure it does and I am very, very appreciative of that. Trust me. But I'm excited for our date so let's go!" I feel bad for making him rush, but I can't wait any longer!
"Okay, okay I'm going!" Carlos says as he walks into his closet and comes out wearing a red, black, and blue plaid flannel with black skinny jeans.
I walk back over to my boyfriend and grab the collar of his shirt. "You're so cute, you know that?" I whisper and then pull him into another long kiss. Carlos breaks away first and I look at him confused.
"You know, as much as I love kissing my heart out I think we should go on our date now so we can have a bit more...privacy." The last word rolled out of his mouth and it sparked my attention.
"Privacy? We are literally alone in your room. How much more privacy could we get?"
"I guess you'll have to wait to find out," he said giving me a small smile and beginning to pull me out his bedroom door. He let go of my hands as we got to the bottom of the stairs.
"Have fun boys!" Carlos's mothers shrill voice rang from the dining room. "How late will you be out tonight, hon?"
"I'm not sure mom. I may just stay at Cecil's house, if that's alright?"
"Sure thing, sweetheart! Have fun!" She waved goodbye as we headed out the door.
"She seemed really chill about you staying at my house," I say as we walk hand in hand to Carlos's motorcycle.
"Yeah, she's a pretty cool mom, I guess." Carlos stops as we get to the motorcycle and turns to me. He looks up at my eyes and asks, "When's your mom getting back from her business trip?"
"Umm," I mumble, trying to find some sort of excuse. "Well I just talked to her yesterday and she said she'd be a while longer. She's really busy out there."
"It's cool that you guys still stay in touch even when she's away," he smiles at me and then hands me a hemet.
"T-thanks," I say getting on the back of the motorcycle. "So where are we going?"
"Be patient! You'll love it." With that we pulled out of his driveway.
