CHAPTER THIRTY SIX
point of view | yasmine alaoui
...
we shared a silence while walking up to my porch. he stayed a few steps behind me so i wouldnt get scared of someone running up behind me and kidnapping me.
"he knew me very well." i admitted smiling to myself.
"you ready for tomorrow?" i asked looking over my shoulder fiddling with my keys.
his smile reached his eyes and he nodded, "yeah. ive never been to a dance before."
"well im glad i could be the first to take you to one." i said holding my house key and fitting it into the lock.
"you still havent told me the color of it," he said as i unlocked my front door and pushed it open. i set my book bag inside the house by the front door, "is it red?"
i laughed, "it is."
he smiled and stepped forward grabbing my arm before i could fully step into my house. he pulled me into his chest and hugged me tightly in his arms.
"thank you." he said quietly.
i smiled while inhaling the strong cologne his shirt held, "did you enjoy your birthday?"
he laughed quietly, "i did. thank you again ... for everything."
"always," i told looking up, my chin on his chest, "ill see you tomorrow."
he smiled and loosened his hold around me so i could pull away. he smiled again stepping back, "yeah. ill see you tomorrow, yasmine. bye."
i waved bye to him before slowly shutting the door. the second i locked it he backed off my porch and headed back for his car parked by my mail box.
i pulled out my phone, "hey siri, call val."
"okay," she responded, "calling val ... mobile!"
it rang twice before she answered me, "OH MY GOD! WHAT HAPPENED!"
"OH MY GOD," i whispered back running like a child up the stairs, "OH MY GOD, VALERIA. I GOT TEA."
"TELL MEEE," she urged, "EVERYTHING!"
"okay," i said pushing open my bedroom door, "so i went home with him."
"mmmhm," she hummed, "thennnn?"
"he like showed me around or whatever got me a drink and snacks," i added, "then he took me to his room."
"AHHHH," she screamed, "okay."
"and he was like tired and shit," i continued, "and he was laying on his bed and was like motioning me to lay with him."
"DID YOU GUYS FU-" she yelled.
"NO!" i interrupted her, "God, valeria, have some faith in me."
she giggled, "that was the vibe you were giving off."
"shut up!" i laughed, "okay so we were like laying together and then ... "
"he kissed you?" she asked and i smiled nodding my head.
"like on my neck." i whispered and she silently screamed.
"oh my God, girl," valeria said shaking her head, "then?"
"then we like laid for a while and talked a little until we headed out to the mall," i told her, "it was fun. i picked out clothes for him. then i bought him dinner. we talked a lot about deep shit. it was nice."
she smiled at me, "thats good."
"yeah then we were in the car driving back to his house to pick up my book bag and we got on the topic of marriage." i stated beginning to take off my clothes and get ready for bed.
"oh my God," she whispered, "what? how?"
i laughed, "i forgot but then we started talking about dating."
"mhhhm." she hummed encouragingly.
"then he asked me out ..." i whispered.
"NO- OH MY GOD THE BOY DID IT!" she yelled and i laughed, "NO WAY."
i smiled nodding my head.
"did you say yes?" she asked me and i giggled.
"yes. of course i did." i answered nodding my head.
"YOU'RE OFF THE MARKET!" she cried, "I CANT BELIEVE IT!"
"chill," i laughed, "God. ill give you more details later i swear."
"okayy," she cried laughing, "go to bed, baby. sleep well. love you."
"love you more," i answered waving at the screen, "byee."
"mwah, bye!" she finished and the phone call ended.
i smiled looking at the screen before walking towards my bath room to get my make up off and get ready for bed.
...
my alarm woke me up and i slowly sat up from my bed blinking slowly. i felt good. a smile on my face as i got off of my bed and shuffled my way to my bathroom to wash my face and get ready for the day. rubbing the crust from my eyes i flicked on the light and began taking off my clothes for a nice shower.
...
leaning my cheek in my fist i stared at the board in front of me. the formulas were blurry as my mind drifted reminiscing the lovely moments i shared with zayne last night.
"i cant believe he asked me out," i thought smiling to myself, "im glad it was him. he felt right. he was definitely the one. there was no way we had this many things in common and got well with one another so well for us not to end up together. he was for sure my person."
i dreamily smiled at the thought of him. the way his eyes crinkled slightly when he fully smiled at me. or when he licked his lips when he drove. the way his brows furrowed as if he were angry when he was really focused on something. or when he teased me for being a miami heat fan. they way his lips gently kissed my neck the other day. i nearly melted reminiscing. he was my boyfriend now. he and i were going to homecoming together. i sat back in my chair with a smile.
"i wonder what amazing things would transpire tonight," i thought happily, "our first kiss? our first dance. a lovely dinner. who knows. but all i know is that i'll enjoy it. our first day as a couple and his first day being 18."
