Chapter 38

(Nick)

*5 months later*

She looks so serious. Somehow managing to walk and talk on the phone. I think she's talking to one of her parents, but I can't tell. "Yeah, again..... I don't know, I guess?" She glances over at me and then keeps walking. I wonder what they're talking about. I suddenly get an idea, I look around to make sure no one is watching, then I quickly reach my hand out and grab her ass. She screams, clearly caught off guard. "Fuck! Nick what the hell I'm on the phone!" I struggle not to laugh as she holds the phone away from her mouth, as if whoever is on the other line can't hear her. "With who?" I ask, hoping if I change the subject she'll calm down. "My mom, stupid!" She looks around and I follow her eyes, everyone is staring at us now. "I'm sorry." I wrap my arm around her waist and look into her eyes. "I'm sorry, okay? I'm really really sorry." She unexpectedly kisses me, her tongue finds its way into my mouth and everything else is forgotten for the moment. I pull her body against mine and I can almost feel her skin through her thin leggings. I pull away when I remember where we are. "I'm serious. I didn't mean to upset you okay?" She smiles at me. "Okay." I look around, people have stopped staring now. "You should probably tell your mom you're still here." She looks up at me, dazed, as if I hadn't said anything. "Okay." She holds the phone back up to her ear and runs her fingers through her hair. "Sorry mom....yes....no......I mean Nick.....okay, okay. But it's not my fault......you know! I'm going to. Right now,yes! Okay. love you bye." She hangs up the phone, looking exasperated. "What's wrong?" I ask. "My mom was just being embarrassing." She walks into the restaurant in front of us and I follow.

We find a seat and sit down. "You know if you want we could skip the movie and go to a hotel or something.." I take her hand over the table. "Or we could just go to the movie and see what happens." She picks up my hand and starts playing with my fingers. "Hmm.. That sounds like a challenge." I say, smirking at her. "I like challenges." A few minutes later the waiter approaches us. "Have you decided on something to drink?" She's tall with long blonde hair and green eyes. She doesn't look away from me. I pretend not to notice and look away. "I'll have water to drink and I want the grilled chicken sandwich with fries to eat. Thank you." Jennifer orders first so I have more time to think. "I want the same as her." We both hand her our menus and she struts off to the kitchen.

She twirls her straw around in her cup, watching me. "Are you gonna eat those?" She points to my left over fries. "No, you can have them." I check the time on my phone and see the movies starting soon. "We need to go soon if you still wanna go to the movie." I tell her, hoping she'll still wanna go. "Okay, let's go then." She gets up and grabs her purse.

I look around the dark movie theatre, there's only a few people here, mostly couples. The movies getting near the end. "You're sure?" I ask, looking over at her. She nods and glances up at the movie. I unzip my shorts and she moves to stand in front of me. I already took my boxers off in the bathroom. I pull her leggings down just above her knees and pull her down on top of me. She slides her underwear down to her thighs and leans back onto me. She grips the armrests and pulls herself up and down. I wrap one arm around her and use the other to cover her mouth so no one can hear what we're doing.

The movie comes to an end and she quickly pulls up her underwear and leggings and grabs her purse. I zip up my pants and stand up as the lights turn on. I can feel the adrenaline still pumping through my body. "Oh fuck." I turn around to see what's wrong. "Um, you don't happen to have a jacket or something do you?" She asks, looking down at her leggings. They've got a huge wet spot making them see through. "Just walk behind me and no one will notice." I say, picking up the half way empty bag of popcorn. "But what about when we get home? My mom will notice." I forgot about that. "We can go to a store and get you something." We walk out quickly and find our way to the car.

I walk back to the car from the store and hand her a pair of black shorts. "Are these okay?" There weren't any black leggings in her size. "Yeah." She puts them on over the leggings and gets back into the car. I drive to the house and park in our driveway. "Maybe she won't notice." I say, trying to be positive. She glares at me. "Right, I'm sure she won't notice me suspiciously wearing shorts over leggings." She rolls her eyes and walks into the house. "Hey, look who's back!" Her mom holds up Collin and he smiles. "What's going on with your shorts?" She asks, looking at Jen. "Uh, um." She stutters, sitting the popcorn down on the counter. "Actually, I don't wanna know. I'm gonna go, but I hope you guys had fun." She gets up and hugs and kisses both of us. Then she walks out. I sit down on the floor with Collin and Ali while Jen goes upstairs to change.
