Should I text her? I had only been home for 20 minutes. Richie was playing video games, Adam was sleeping, and Jebb was looking through his camera pictures. Wait! I know…I’ll just text her and say “Hey, it’s Dex. Here is my number.”
Me:Hey, it’s Dex. Here is my number.
It was perfect. I didn’t sound TOO desperate. I then heard my phone *bing!*
Mable: Oh, wow. Quick text dude. Thanks for ur number. I’ll hyu sometime.
Me:Kay.
She will hmu??? No way! Oh god, I sound like a little fucking school girl.

The next morning I woke up to Adam still sleeping, Jebb talking on the phone, and Amy in my…room…making out with Richie.
“G morning sunshine.” Jebb said in monotone. I looked at the clock, it was 2:00?? What the fuck? I guess I am the master of sleep.
“Hey Jebby-Webby.” I pinched his baby cheeks and pursed my lips like his mom does to embarrass him.
“Damn Dexter. That was a scary impression of my mom.” He shuddered. Richie looked up from sucking Amy’s face.
“Hi Dex.” He winked at me.
“Yeah! Hey Dex, you sly dog you.” Amy said.
“What?” I was so confused.
“Don’t pretend you aren’t excited.” Jebb said.
“I honestly have no clue on what you’re talking about.”
“Why don’t you check your phone fuckface?” Adam said in a sleepy voice.
I had 2 new messages. One from Ashlie and one from Mable.
The one from Ashlie read, “Mable is gunna ask u out! On a date! A romantic date! Tonight! Bring protection you little sex monkey!”
And Mable said: “Hey Dexter, I know we haven’t spoken much and barely met and u seem cool. I would really like to get to know you. How about we go bowling or something tonight?”
Holy. Fucking. Shmerf. Shit! Mable, probably the hottest girl ever is asking me out? Holy shit!!!
I told Ashlie and Alyssa to come over at 7:00 to help me get ready cause I fucking fail at picking out nice clothes and this is what I said to Mable: “Bowling? Sounds great. I suck though, but I’ll pick you up at…8:10 on the dot. Be prepared to laugh at me.”
“Dude, you’re going on a date with Mable!” Amy was very enthused.
“I know!” I made this little squeal at the end of know.
“Hey guys, and by guys I mean Richie, Jebb, and Amy. Wanna come with me to the skate park to meet up with Max and Cody?”
Everyone agreed, got their shit together and left me home alone to bask in my own joy. I was sitting on the couch watching LA INK when Mable texted back.
Mable: 8:10? I’ll be there lmao.
Me: Haha! See you then.
Mable: Can’t wait!
I got up and went to the kitchen to get some water. I started to sing the beat to a song by get scared but different lyrics, that’s my thing.
“I’m so nervous to go bowling with m-a-a-a-ble. I’m gunna suck and get embarrassed! I might piss my paaaaaaants!”
Yeah! That’s how I roll motherfucker!

“Damn Dex, you honestly have no date-oriented clothes.” Alyssa was going through my closet and drawers.
“No shit, that’s why we are here, to perhaps make do with his terrible style…no offense.” Ashlie said shrugged while washing my hair in the sink.
“None taken, ass. You know Ash, I could’ve just taken a shower…”
“No, I wanted to do something worth my time, and hair is my thing.”
“Whatever.” I flipped my hair up so it exposed my forehead. Ashlie smiled at me.
“You’re hot.” She winked at me.
Alyssa looked at me and shrugged, “Thank god you are or else we would have nothing to work with.” Okay guys I’m going to tell you something I have never told anyone. I’ve hooked up with both Alyssa and Ashlie. It was one Saturday night and we were all drunk at some party and Richie and Amy were fucking in our friend Gabby’s hot tub. For some reason that really turned us on to know. And I got this fucking major boner. It was like the hulk on Viagra. I only went as far as making out and blowjob with Alyssa, but me and Ashlie had sex. We were in Gab’s parents room and I was already pants less from Alyssa and she just kinda got on top of me and…you know. So, as you can guess, I’m not a virgin. I haven’t been for some time now and she wasn’t the first either. Anyway…
I combed my hair to a wave and straightened my bangs. The girls picked out a red button down and jeans. I was just wearing black sneakers so I didn’t care much.
“Good luck.” The girls said when I left. Now that I think about it, I find it kind of weird that my two closest friends know what my dick looks like…and tastes like…

I was sitting on top of my car when Mable came outside. She looks beautiful…not hot, gorgeous. Her curls were bouncing as she walked and she was wearing a purple baby-doll dress and black heels. Her necklace was a black, beaded choker, and she has huge silver hoops on.
“Um, hey beautiful you are tonight.” I said.
“Haha thanks yoda, you aren’t so bad yourself.”
We played a round and a half of bowling and then decided to go into the back parking lot and talk. She sat down not caring about her dress. I sat next to her with my arms stretched out behind me and my legs in front.
“It’s really nice out.” Mable started.
“Yeah…”
“Haha, you don’t have to act so awkward. Just be yourself…I’m in no position to judge. Just, um, tell me about your parents, I guess.” She looked at me with caring eyes and filled me with an ‘everything is okay’ feeling.
“Okay, well, my mom, Olivia is a nurse at West Broadwalk general hospital, and my dad, Jared, is a music video producer at JJR Records. They are nice I guess, but I mean, they are divorced and stuff so, like, I don’t see them together often, I barely see my mom anymore since she moved to Sacramento. My dad is one of those really laid back dudes that are very upbeat and okay with my decisions. I love him; he’s real chill and understanding. And you?”
“Well, my parents, Jacob and Patricia, died when I was four in a car accident. So, now I’m living here for the summer with my sister Katie and her husband Nick. I usually stay with my grandma in Washington State, but she is away for the summer.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. That’s rough.” I felt kind of bad for her. I mean, Mable seemed like a nice girl.
“It’s not your fault. But thank you.” She looked me in the eye when she said that. I knew Mable wasn’t the kind of girl to not mean it. Then, it happened, the unexplainable. Well, actually, it’s wicked easy to explain. Mable leaned in first and kissed me. It was kind like one of those awkward first kisses and only lasted like three seconds. But dude, those three seconds were legend- something some people are allergic to- dairy!
She pulled back, “Sorry.” Mable looked at me then whipped her head around.
“Haha, I’m glad you did. Or else I would have had to and someone would have lost a nose.”
She started to giggle like crazy. It was so cute. You know, this sounds like it’s too good to be true, and maybe it is, but right now I really don’t care. Live in the moment you know? Cause the future’s gunna sneak in faster than you will expect.
