Susceptible to Suggestion

wow.

Ethan guides me back to his truck with his hand hugging the in and out curves of my waist. We then call SBHS (Saddle Back High School) and tell them that "our parents" called us off of school for the rest of the day, in hopes of being able to discover each other a bit more in the coming evening. As I plop down in my seat, Ethan grabs my hand and makes direct eye contact with me. So many thoughts are running through my head. 'What if he doesn't actually like me and is just using me like very one else' 'what if we kiss and he thinks i'm not a good kisser?' He can tell I am stressing out because I start to get shaky. Ethan then leans over closer to me and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear and mumbles under his breath, "wow."

" What's wowing you, Ethan?" I say as I am in awe of what I imagine is about to happen. "I can't believe after all of these years of being so close I haven't truly realized how beautiful you are." he exclaims. My heart starts racing, I start zoning out into his deep set eyes. I take my fingers and run them through his soft, curly dark brown hair, forgetting all of my problems because suddenly none of them are relevant anymore. Ethan leans in closer and gently rests one of his hands on my thigh, and the other on my cheek. "Just do it already," I whisper. Our faces are so close there is no need to talk in a regular tone. Without hesitation, Ethan kisses me. I am so lost in the moment it is surreal. One passionate kiss leads to another and the next thing I know is that he is kissing my neck, leaving dark hickeys all over my skin. We continue to kiss for the next 5 minutes, not giving a shit about what pedestrians are walking through the Diner parking lot staring at us. I pull away and say, "Let's go somewhere more private. Some where were we can... explore... more." Ethan agrees as he backs out of the Diner's parking lot and starts to his house, keeping his hand resting on my thigh the entire time.
