A Summer To Remember

Chapter 20

We spend the rest of the day going to the aquarium and going on the ferry to Atlantic City was nice. I and David went to the lower part of the ferry where we opened a window, having our finger tips brush the water. I lifted my hand and splashed David in the face. He splashed me back giving me a kiss.

When the ferry stopped 2 hours after we got on it, we all ran off and grab a map on a stand for Atlantic City. We first went to a board walk and then checked out the Absecon Lighthouse.

It was one of the best days I've ever had, other than those days I had with David.

We took the ferry back home and didn't get back til' almost nine. We then all picked up some ice cream before we all headed to our cars and drove home.

I and David drove home together like we drove here this morning. I held his hand as he rested it on his knee as he drove, sneaking him a kiss on the cheek every once it awhile.

"Do you like the area?" I asked him as we drove on the almost empty streets.

"It was amazing. Don't see things like this in Long Island." He smiled. "I loved spending the day with you."

I smiled, "Me too."

He sighed, "Do you have to go straight home? Can't you say you're at a sleepover again so we can be together?"

I rubbed my thumb over his hand. "I'm sorry, David. My Dad is waiting up for me and I promised him I'll be home before ten."

"You know I love you."

"You've mentioned that a few times." He gave a shy smile. "I love you too." I leaned over and kissed his cheek.

When we pulled up in front of my house, the porch light was on and so was the living room light.

"Well," I started. "Time for me to go."

He put a hand on my cheek and leaned in to kiss me. This kiss was passionate and meaningful. This made me sad about him leaving to go back to the motel.

"Bye." He said. "I love you."

"I love you too." I opened up the door and starting walking to the door when I had a thought and turned back to David and walked over. I peeped my head in the car window. "There's vines decorating the side of our house and it leads to my room. I'll put a sock out so you know which window it is."

He looked shocked. "You want me to sneak into your house?"

I nodded.

He gave a slight chuckle. "This is insane."

"Hey, I lied to my friends and my Dad last night. I think we're pass insane."

He gave a sigh. "Fine. But let me park the car."

"Thank you so much." I told him as he put the gear in drive.

"Be there soon." And with that, he drove down to the road next to us as I walked inside the house.

"Hey," my Dad asked from his armchair. "You have fun?"

I nodded, "Yeah, it was great. We saw some amazing sites."

"That's nice." He folded the paper he had in his hand and got out of the chair. "I think I'll hit the sack and call it a night. Don't stay up to late. Remember, you have school in the morning."

"I promise, Dad." I told him as he made his way up the stairs.

I waited til' I heard his door close before heading up to my room.
