The next morning I woke up to the sun shining on me threw my window. I felt the smile on my face as I thought about the pier with Jc last night. I picked up my phone and saw I had two texts one from Jc and one from Alex. I was really falling for Jc. I figured it was time to break it to Alex.
Alex💕: Hi babe. I'm so sorry for the way I acted. I just get really jealous sometimes. I want you to be mine. All mine. I wanna marry you one day. I love you so much. Your my everything.
"He's making this harder than it already is" I thought to myself.
Cassie😘: Hey Alex. I need to talk to you about something. Call me when you get this message.
I felt the nervousness well up in my stomach. We have been best friends since we were young kids. What if he doesn't wanna be friends anymore? Then I saw the text from Jc and I smiled.
Jc😍: Goodmorning beautiful. I hope you slept well, and hopefully your dad didn't go to hard in ya. I was wondering if you wanted to do something with me today? ☺️
I texted him back,
Cass💋💎: Goodmorning handsome. ☺️ yeah I just ignored my dad and went to bed lol and sure I'll hang out with you today. When?
I just sorta payed in bed for a little while and checked my Facebook and Instagram. Alex was right. When I was on Instagram I saw that Jc had posted a picture of me and him at the beach the day we met. I didn't have the same reaction Alex did though. I felt all warm and fuzzy inside. I smiled bigger than I probably ever have before. My phone then buzzed and at the top of my screen I saw there was a message from Jc.
Jc😍: Is 1:00 okay? 👽
Cassie💋💎: yeah that's fine. Pick me up at my house. ✌🏼️
I saw it was 11:30 now. "Oh shit!" I said. I got up and got in the shower. When I got outta the shower I blow-dried my hair and curled it into ringlets. I put on a teal strapless sundress and my cowgirl boots. I also put on the heart locket my dad gave me for my birthday two years ago. I put on light makeup and checked my phone. I saw that it was 12:50. I went downstairs to wait for Jc.
"Where are you going all dolled up?" Mom asked.
"Out with Jc" I said with a smile.
"Oh, where is he taking you?" She asked.
"I don't know but he picking me up in a few minuites." I said.
"Okay well call me if anything happens." My mom said.
"Okay bye" I said as I saw Jc pull up.
I walked outside and he got out of his jeep to greet me.
"Hello gorgeous!" He said as he opened my door for me.
"Hey Jc" I said with a flirty smile.
He got back into the jeep in his side. We drove for about 10 minutes until we pulled into the parking lot of a restaurant.
"First I'm taking you to lunch" Jc said.
We got out of the jeep and walked inside. It was a beautiful rustic cabin type place. It reminded me a lot of home. A waitress came and seated us in a booth next to the window. We looked over the menu.
"How bout' we get a big plate of chicken wings and split them" Jc offered.
"Sounds awesome" I said with a smile.
The waitress came back and we ordered 20 medium hot wings. We talked for a bit until the waitress brought us our food. We dug right in. I could tell we were getting comfortable with each other cause neither of us really cared about being messy. I loved it. When we finally finished Jc paid and we walked back out to the jeep.
"Thanks for lunch Jc it was amazing" I said.
"No problem princess" Jc said.
That made me blush. We got in the jeep and started driving again. We drove until we pulled into an animal shelter. I immediately got excited. I love animals. We walked inside and went straight the the cat room. It was filled with a bunch of cats. We looked around and saw the little orange and white kitten.
"I like that one. It's so cute" I said pointing to the little kitten.
"You got it" Jc said picking up the kitten.
I was confused. He walked out of the room with the kitten. He walked up to the front desk and I heard him tell the lady he wanted to adopt the kitten. He filled out the paper work and we walked out. It wasn't until we got back in the jeep that he told me what was going on.
"I wanted to share something with you. We just adopted a cat together" he said with a laugh.
"Oh my god. That's amazing. What should we call her." I said
"I've always liked the name Vega." Jc said.
"Then Vega it is." I said
We drove to the beach where we had met. And we got out and walked along the beach. We let Vega walk around in the sand. We spent a good hour or two there and then we left. By now it was 6:00 at night. I felt kinda tired so Jc took me home.
"Can I take Vega tonight?" I asked.
"Of coarse" he said.
He walked me up to my front door. This was it. I knew we were about to kiss. He slowly started leaning in and so did I until our lips touched. The kiss lasted ahwile. I felt the fireworks as if they were gonna explode out of me. We pulled apart and both smiled.
"Goodnight" I said
"Goodnight" he said.
I walked inside and watched him pull away from my house.
"What's that?" Tommy asked when he saw Vega.
"My new cat." I said and walked past him and went to my room. I later in bed for an hour or so cuddling with Vega and replayed the kiss over and over in my head until I fell asleep.
