She continued to hug me tightly and I hugged back.
"I'm sorry Kendra.... But I just don't trust him.... I'm going to call Wade and ask him to pick you up."
"I'm not going!!!"
She hugged tighter.
"Kendra...."
"No! I am not leaving your side!"
"I don't want to hurt you like your ex did..... Dark will do those things..."
"The doctors were wrong, ok?! I didn't get raped... I just always got abused. I asked the doctor to lie and say I did get raped because I'm scared you would do something like that.... I have no clue why though... I guess that I was just really scared...."
I looked at her in disbelief.
"S-so...."
"She's still a virgin, is that what you are going to ask her? I knew she wasn't actually raped. You should have listened."
"S-shut up you!"
I screamed in my head.
" 'So' what, Mark?"
Kendra asked.
"N-nothing...."
Kendra smirked slightly.
"Were you wondering if I am still a virgin?"
I blushed deeply and Kendra giggled lightly.
"To answer your question..... Yes. I am still a virgin. And there is only one person I want to have my first time with...."
She turned away blushing a lot.
"Who's that?"
I asked and instantly didn't want the answer. A pain ran through my chest and I felt myself getting more and more nervous.
"You just ask so bluntly, don't you?"
Kendra giggled and leaned up close to my face. Our lips were barely touching.
"That guy is you.... I feel safe around you and having my first time with you would be like a dream...."
I felt myself lean towards her, trying to close the small gap between our lips. Something inside me stopped me though. It was Dark.
"She does seem to love you but isn't it wrong for you, a 30 year old man, to date a 17 year old girl?"
That was when I thought of something.
"Hey Kendra... When is your birthday?"
She looked a little surprised.
"It is in September. the 12th. Why do you ask?"
"I ask because isn't it the 11th of September?"
Her eyes went wide.
"You're joking, right?"
"Nope. Look here."
I pulled up the calendar on my phone to show her that it indeed was September 11th.
"Wow! I'll be 18 tomorrow!!!"
She jumped up and hugged me.
"What has got you so happy?"
"When I am 18, and if you like me back, we won't have to worry about it being legal or not. It just makes me overjoyed!!!"
I smiled at her brightly.
"Well that is good."
Then she looked extremely serious.
"Do you like me back?"
"I'd advise you to not go with what you are thinking, Mark... Kissing her wouldn't be the best plan."
"Just shut up, Dark."
I quickly leaned down towards Kendra. Our lips connected. The kiss was very sweet and gentle. The kiss ended all to soon though. We both pulled away. Kendra was blushing insanely.
"Did that answer your question?"
I chuckled. She punched my chest and pouted.
"That surprised me a lot! I don't like it when people surprise me!"
"Well, expect to get used to a lot of surprise kisses from me."
I kissed her again. After the kiss we stared into each other's eyes.
"Do I still have to go with Wade?"
I laughed when she pouted.
"No. It's alright now, I guess."
"Good. I wasn't leaving anyway and you know that."
"Yes I do."
I hugged her close to me and she hugged back.
"I love you Mark...."
She seemed to tense up after saying that. Maybe she was worried about the answer.
"I love you too, Kendra."
She looked up at me in disbelief.
"R-really?"
She had a shine in her eyes that resembled the look a child gave when they were praised for something.
"Yes really."
Tears started to fall from her eyes. She buried her face into my shirt.
"What's wrong, Kendra?!"
I asked in a Panicked tone.
"N-nothing... I'm just so g-glad...... you return the same feelings...."
She pulled away and smiled.
"I need to get things from my old room. I'll be right back."
"I'll go with you."
"No, it's ok. I'll be right back."
She leaned up and kissed me.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
She left the room quickly. How was I supposed to know, the next time I saw her, she'd be gone...
