Consequences

Kiss| Part 12

After school on Tuesday Carter texted me and told me he would pick me up from my house at five in his car. I was so excited. I would tell him about France but I just wanted to enjoy the date. After all this is what I had dreamed about for months. He was taking me to watch a movie and then get dinner at a sushi restaurant on the edge of town. This would be really romantic. I just didn't know what to wear . I called Ivy I desperately needed her input.
"I liked the lil pink dress it's cute but also like not to Formal but like good for the restaurant" she had been there a few times with her parents. "Ok so I'll where the pink one and hair up or down?".
"Maybe like a low braid it would look stunning" she smiled at me as I started to fiddle with my hair. I had told my mum about my date and she seemed really excited for me. She even said that I could come home anytime. Which was strange. Maybe she was trying to make sure I enjoyed the time I had left at home.
At five I heard Carters car pull up to the driveway. I was so excited I felt like I was flying. I peaked out of the window , he was getting out of his car and walking up the driveway. I got ready to open the door. And then he knocked. And my heart jumped. I slowly as too not seam to eager opened the door. And there he was. Grinning shyly wearing a grey button up shirt and jeans. Few I had the dress code right. His hair was as crazy and free as usual and he held a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
"Hey"
"Hi"
"You look amazing" he blushed.
"So do you" I giggled.
"Are you ready to go?" He looked into my eyes.
"Yeah I'm excited" he took my hand and lead me towards his car. He opened the passenger side door for me and I blushed. This was crazy. And already so romantic. We arrived at the cinema. We bought popcorn and drinks and then watched the movie.
Half way through Carter put his arm around my Shoulder and I leaned my head into him. His smell was intoxicating and his warmth was incredibly comforting. The movie flew buy and pretty soon we where in the car on our way to the restaurant.
"What can I get you?" Asked to waitress. After having our orders taken I decided i should probably tell Carter about France soon.
"I need to tell you something" I said nervously. "Oh ok" he looked almost scared.
"I'm going to France for six months" i just blurted it out.
"Oh when"
"In about a month I'm going to stay with my dad"
"That sounds fun" he looked like he was thinking. "Would you like to be my girlfriend?" He asked suddenly.
"I know we haven't known each other for long and I know your going away but I really like you. We've had a lot of fun and I think it would be really good" he took my hands and looked into my eyes.
This felt like a dream. "Ok yeah" I replied and then he gently grabbed my face and kissed me. I melted. This was perfect a moment that I never wanted to end. He was so safe and warm and there was no were else in the world I would have rather been than here. With Carter. Kissing him. My boyfriend.
