I wake up to my alarm going off. I get out of bed, brush my teeth, and get a shower. I get out of the shower and I make my way over to my closet and pull out a pair of jean shorts and a bright blue v-neck. I put on eyeliner and mascara. My hair is finally dry and I put on my Taylor Swift perfume and slip on black sandles. While I'm buckling my sandles I turn on my phone. I open up my messages.
"Can't wait to see you today :) - Clay"
I smile and put my phone in my pocket. I grab my keys and head out my door. I take the elevator down to my car and get in. I pull out and head down to the park. I pull up to the gazebo he had picked, he suprised me with a picnic. I let an awe slip out of my mouth before I get out of the car. No guy has ever done that with me, I felt lucky to be with him.
"Hey Clay!" I said with a smile. He turns around and gives me a hug. He had on a plaid blue flanel shirt, he's hair as usual, he had tight jeans on, and black converse shoes. I'm not gunna lie, it was kinda turning me on. I shook it off and played it cool.
"Hey Em, you like?" he says motioning his arms at the table.
"I love it, it's such a beautiful day out, and I love this gazebo its so private." I say looking around the gazebo. It was pretty, it had lights for the night time and it was white with a bunch of flowers around it. It was back by the creak in the park. He takes my hand and guides me to my seat, he pulls my chair out and I sit. Thinking about how poliet he was making me have butterflies. I still find it weird I've always kind of liked him after a year Jake and I were together, I guess I lost my spark with Jake and felt like I had to try to get his attention everytime we were together. He friended me on Facebook and I accepted it because I remeber him from my confirmation and he was across the Church and I liked him. But when I met Jake I forgot about Clay, I'm happy we reuinited again after so many years. He sat down.
"You know, I've always liked you." he said, slightly blushing.
"Really? I liked you in eighth grade, but I guess I never really got over you." I say. I can see him doing a half smile and I could feel my cheeks were like fire. We had our picnic and talked and talked. By the time we were done, it was getting dark. We cleaned up and we went back to his truck. He pulled the back down and we laid in the back in the back of his truck on a blanket and watched the stars.
"I'm glad I caught you at the right time." he said looking at me.
"What?"
"Because this wouldn't be happening, that stupid ass would still have you and not treat you like he should." he said, looking back up at the sky.
I put my hand in his, his fingers wrapping around mine. I could hear him sigh, I guess he was nervous to make the first move. Made me have a grin on my face, knowing he was nervous. We stay there for an hour and he walks me back to my car. We go back to my car talking and holding hands.
"So, I'll see you later and I had fun today, catching up and everything. I loved it." I say.
"I'll be in touch!" he yells back walking back to his truck.
I get in my car, start it up, and head home. I never wanted someone to call me so bad, knowing he only lived about 10 minutes away from me. I have passed by his house and have seen him play football outside, he's always waved when I would see him. It's always been like that for ten years. I mean when I liked him in eighth grade, he was dating someone. We went to two different schools and we forgot about each other for a while. I bet Drew was setting him up with me, but I'm glad. Before I know it, I'm home. I get out of my car and get onto the elevator. I get to my door and put my key into the door. I always make sure to look around before I unlock my door, just to be safe and I wonder who lives by me even though I've lived here, still nice to know a face. I hear a familar voice down the hall, I turn my head to the left to see Clay, two doors down. Our jaws drop at the same time.
"I didn't know you lived here!" I said, walking towards him. I honestly didn't, I knew most of the neighbors but there was always an empty apartment on my floor, there was always a sign in the main lobby where the mail was. Aparently he must have bought it, at least I know he doesn't live in a basement like Jake, that's good to know he's on his own.
"I just finished moving in here last night, I finally got done unpacking this morning. I get to see you more often," he said with a wink. "I'll see you later, night love!" he said turning his lock and halfway in his enterence of his apartment.
"Night!" I said. I walk back to my apartment, unlock my door, unbuckle my shoes, take off my make up, put on my pajamas and start dancing. This night could not have gottten any better. Next thing I know, my phone is ringing...its him. I pick up the phone in a heart beat.
"Hello." I said.
"Hey, listen I want you to come down to my apartment real quick. I have something to tell you." he said, he sounded kinda nervous.
"Sure I'll be right there, is it okay that I'm in my pajamas?" I said, knowing I had one an old t-shirt and short pajama shorts.
"Sure, I'm in mine too. See you soon!" he said and hung up the phone. I grab my key and head out the door. I knock on his door, he opens it.
"Hey, come on in. You look hot in pajamas." he said, his voice sounded so sexy when he was tired. I blushed.
"Why thank you." He took my hand and sat me down on the couch next to him. He picked my chin up with his free hand making me look in his baby blue eyes. Every time we talked I was falling more and more in love with him. He was just so sweet and such a dork, but hey he was my dork.
"Emma, ever since I saw you four years ago after we graduated from high school, I fell in love with you and couldn't get you out of my mind. Em, I love you." he said. I felt the same way and I never had anyone fall in love with me. Jake never said it and it would bother me.
"Clay, I love you too. I've never felt this way with anyone else. In just 2 short days and years of kind of knowing you, I fell in love with you." I said. I wanted our relationship to go further, but I didn't want to rush it.
"Why don't you come back to my place, we can have a movie night." I said. Thinking about him possibly sleeping in the same bed with him made my heart flutter. Not to have sex, yet. It was too early and I wanted to be with him. We walked back hand in hand back to my place. I put my keys down.
"What movie hun?" I asked. I heard him scream.
"OMG HARRY POTTER I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT MY GLASSES!" he screamed, his eyes lit up at the sight of the CD. I start going into laughter, I sit cross legged from my squating postion. I'm crying I'm laughing so hard.
"Hey, don't laugh you still have a light night." he said.
"Well at least I can see my way to my bathroom and not kill myself on something!" I said. I popped the movie in while he made popcorn. We snuggled up together with a blanket on the couch. We watch the movie and can quote it and laugh when one of us messes up. We quited down and when we got to the part where Dobby died and I heard sniffling.
"Clay, are you crying?" I asked.
"No, my allergies are acting up." he said, his voice cracked. I started to giggle and curled up next to him with a smile on my face. After the movie I'm tired.
"You can stay if you want, I mean we can sleep together. I don't mind." I say, biting my lip. I can tell he's turned on. He pulls me closer by my hips, I wrap my arms around him. I crash my lips into his, not too long after I slip my tonuge in his mouth. This was only the begining of us.
