Finding My Person and My Reason

Part 2: After the game

After the game

My team one by one home run. I see Hope and jog up to her.

"Let me change, then we can go to my place." I tell her then jog off, when I come back I see Victoria holding my jersey that I gave hope to wear and Hope just wearing a tank top. I pull out my hoodie that I had in my bag.

"Ugh can you believe it Alex this slut was wearing your jersey when it belonged to me"

Ok she is starting to get on my last nerve. I take it out of Victoria's hands and hand it back to Hope. But before she can put it back on I slip my hoodie on her. She blushes and smiles.

" Come on Hope we shouldn't be hangin around trash."

We get to my house and Hope follows me in. My parents are sitting around the living room.

"Mom dad met Hope, Hope this is my mom and dad."  

"Hi" she says shy like.

"Hello dear, how are you?" my mom asks, but before Hope can answer my dad of course butts in

"What happened to Victoria, she was way prettier than this trash."

My jaw clenches and unclenches. How dare he say that, even mom looks shocked.

"Dad I am no longer with nor her friend because she is nothing like me and a spoiled brat. Now this is Hope, who I find to be very beautiful and kind. We are going to hang out in my room." I grab Hope's hand before anything else can be said and lead her to my room.

We reach my room, "so this is my room kinda boring."

"I think it's nice," she tells me.

She is so beautiful, even beautifuler in my hoodie. I know I haven't known her long but something draws her to me.

"Umm Hope, well I know we haven't known each other for long. But I think you're really beautiful, kind, sweet, and very smart. You're honestly everything I want in a lady. So what I am trying to ask is will you be mine? Will you be my girlfriend?" I ask

"Umm I don't know you know what screw it yes. YES!" I rush to her side and pick her up and twirl her in my arms. When I stop spinning we both zoom on each other's lips. We start moving in and my lips touch hers. Once we break apart she starts blushing.

"That was wow, that was my first kiss." she confesses to me.

"Well guess what love mine too."

"What really, I thought you and Victoria umm did stuff, I mean she used to say yall did a lot when she was in the locker room." Of course she said that, but honestly I wouldn't touch that because I knew she was screwing someone else.

"Nope, I never did any of that and honestly the relationship was complicated. We weren't even really together. Just for the public we were. So you're my first and I hope we share many more firsts together Hope."

We ended up sitting there talking for hours until it was her curfew time. I walked Hope to her front door, kissed her goodnight and said Hi to her mom. Tonight has been amazing. When I got home dad was already asleep and mom just told me how proud she was that I was with such a well mannered and behaved young lady and that I made the choice for myself. Before I went to sleep I texted Hope like I have been doing. 

A: Goodnight love sleep good I will see you in the morning I am going pick you up for school.

Love 💕: Goodnight, and ok I can't wait Babe. Sleep well.
