We walked out the diner in silence. I loved moments like these it was comfortable and I knew I was safe with him and I could do and be anything I wanted to be.
"I still can't believe your really wearing a dress" he said and I laughed and walked ahead walking backwards. I lifted the skirt revealing my dirty jean shorts.
"I'm still here" I smiled and he chuckled and shook his head looking down.
"Can I ask you a question?" He looked up at me and I nodded but tripped and he wrapped his arms around my waist picking me up. I laughed it off then started to walk normal again.
"Why did you get upset the one day when I was joking around asking for a kiss" he asked and I sighed.
"I haven't had my first kiss, okay. It's embarrassing I know don't tell the boys" I said and he laughed.
"It's not that big a deal and half the boys haven't been kissed either" he said and I laughed.
"Thanks Benny but we're both turning 17 soon and I haven't even been kissed" I said and he nodded.
"I also have a question for you" I said and he nodded for me to keep going.
"What was Jessica like?" I asked and he frowned.
"She was different. She was girly but didn't mind putting jeans or a t shirt on at any time but sometimes she would still wear her skirts and dresses even playing baseball. I mean you would look at her and her ponytail and dress and think this girl probably doesn't know what a baseball is but when she got her hands on one man she would surprise you. Yet of course she was extremely fragile sometimes she just needed to cry and she got scared so easily but tried to hide it when she couldn't. She was never afraid of any kind of relationship she could be with anyone and immediately become friends with them and she was so outgoing she could do literally everything without a care in the world and she could let anyone in. She was a great kind of different" he spoke fondly. It was as if he practiced this in his head.
The thing was I was completely different. I didn't have a girly side and I just like Benny lived for baseball and nothing else. I wasn't fragile and I do NOT and NEVER ever have cried and I wasn't scared of little things like ghosts and mean people and if I was I could hide it and no one could tell. I was afraid of relationships I struggle to let people in and out of my life and I was spontaneous but not enough to the sense to do everything just the things I was comfortable with.
"She sounds nice and the complete opposite of me" I said and he smiled.
"Her personality was but let me tell you she was only 5'3" with tan skin and long brown hair and glowing hazel eyes you looked exactly alike and you were both my neighbors other then the eyes since yours are a beautiful blue but your features remind me so much of her then I look at your personality and your nothing alike your you only 5 foot with attitude and baseball" he said and I laughed at his choice of words.
"I don't think we would of made that great of friends" I said and he laughed.
"I think she would of loved to be friends with you"
