"Our song? Sounds kinda coupley to me," I say looking forward, not wanting to make eye contact. "It does, doesn't it," he says looking at me and grabbing my chin to force eye contact. "Yeah," I whisper. He leans into me and kisses me. He moves one of his legs from beside me to in between my legs so that he's basically on top of me. It slowly begins to turn into a makeout session. After a looong time, I push him back slightly so I can talk. "Wanna get in the hot tub?" I ask. He smiles at me, "sure." I sit up and so does he. "I need a swimsuit," he says.

"Let me go change into mine and then we can go to your house real quick, I need to ask Belly a question anyway." I tell him. He agrees. I go upstairs to change into a swimsuit. I decide on an all neon pink one. I put a cropped sweater on overtop just so I have a swimsuit coverup. I grab Charlie and put her down in my backyard so she can play. Jeremiah whistles at me playfully as I walk out. "Corny," is all I say as I lead us out of my backyard gate. We walk over to his house and I'm surprised to see Belly is actually home. I really did need to ask her a question but I didn't expect her to be here. Jeremiah walks upstairs and I sit down beside Belly on the couch.

"Have you two been together all day?" she asks with a smile. "Yeah," I say, trying not to sound too excited. "I have a question," I tell her. "Shoot," she says. "How many dates do you have to go on before you make a relationship official?" I ask her. "I'd say 1-3, depending on what you've guys done. Like if you kiss before, or on the first date, then definitely after 1 date," she says. "Wait! Is this about.." she says and points to the stairs. I nod my head. "Oh my god Lily!" She says. "I'm so excited, soon enough there's gonna be little Jeremiah's and Lily's running around," she says. "You're done." I respond.

"He got you a slurpee? He doesn't even do that for me," she points to my hand. That reminds me, I never took a drink of his cherry slurpee, I need to do that. "Yeah, is my tongue blue?" I ask and stick out my tongue. "No, it's more purple. What else did you eat?" she asks. I look at her confused. Jeremiah walks down the stairs and he grabs his cherry slurpee off the table. I notice a purple tint on his lips and my eyes widen. "What?" Belly asks and looks at Jeremiah.

"OH MY GOD YOU GUYS ARE DISGUSTING! I AM LEAVING!" she yells and runs up the stairs. I stand up off the couch and Jeremiah interlocks his hand with mine. "What was that about?" he asks. "I asked her if my tongue was blue." I tell him. "So?" he says confused. I stick my tongue out so he can see the purple. He looks at me confused and then looks down at his other hand; the one holding a cherry slurpee. We both start bursting out laughing. "So I'm guessing she knows?" he asks me. "Yep," I tell him.

We walk outside and back into my backyard. I take my cropped sweater off and we get in the hot tub and I make sure to not put my arm with the cast on under the water. Me and Jeremiah have small talk when he puts his hand on my thigh and I melt into him. I notice the sun is starting to set so I point at the pretty pink sky so that Jere sees it. "The sunsets here are so beautiful," he says. I lay my head on his shoulder. "Jere?" I say. "Yeah?" He responds. "I like you. I like you a lot," I tell him but I'm not nervous to.

"Lily?" He says. "Yeah?" I respond. "Do you want to be my girlfriend?" He asks me. "I would love to Jeremiah," I say and then turn to face him. He grabs my waist and sits me on top of him. He wraps his arms around my waist as kisses my head while we watch the sunset. We sit in comfortable silence watching the sunset until it's completely dark out. "You should spend the night at my house tonight," he says facing me. "Okay," I grab my phone off of the edge of the hot tub and text my mom to let her know I'm staying at Jere's house.

"I have to go grab pajamas," I say and try to get out of the water. Jere grabs my waist and pulls me back down to kiss me. "You don't need clothes," he says. "You're so stupid," I say and laugh. I kiss him again before getting out of the water to change into pajamas. "You can come inside," I say once I realize he's not following me. He comes in behind me and we go up to my room. I grab a pair of Calvin Klein boxers and a white cropped t shirt. I start to undress to change into my pajamas and I notice Jere immediately looks away.

I completely change and when I'm done I walk up to Jeremiah and grab his arms to push him backwards on the bed and kiss him. "Woah," he says. "What?" I ask. "I like when you do that," he says with a small laugh. I roll my eyes and walk over to my bathroom. He sits up on the bed and watches me as I brush my teeth. "Everything about you is perfect Lily," he tells me. "You're perfect Jere," I respond basically melting at his words. I walk back into my room and pack some essentials for Jere's house. We leave my room and walk back over to his house.
