A New Life

Chapter Fifteen

Here's a recap from Chapter Fourteen :

We run two and a half miles when we decide to walk to the ice cream shop. I get a text from our volunteer group leader about conformation for starting at 1:00. I text back yes and tell Colton. We decide to go home and change before leaving to go help. When I get to my bathroom I take a quick wash off and change into some jean shorts, the volunteer tee and some regular tennis shoes. I put my hair into a fishtail and grab my phone to text Colton that I'll meet him in two minutes. I tell my sister and just as I get to the front door someone knocks. Expecting Colton, I open the door and wish I had just looked through the peephole or window or just not have opened the door at all....because the blonde haired boy with that stupid smirk that I saw a couple of days ago was standing at my front steps.

I take a deep breath and stare at him. He stares back and does his usual stupid smirk. Briana is comes up and starts smelling my knee cap. She notices the awkward feeling in the air and looks up at Brennan. She starts to growl and I look down at her while thinking, That's my Bri. She starts moving forward and as much as I would love for Briana to attack him, I can't let that happen. I grab her collar and bring her around the back. Should I escape through the bushes to Colton's house? Or go back? I choose the first one and text Grace to come to the back. She goes with my plan to distract him and then close the door. I slowly make my way through the bushes when I hear her talking to him and as soon as I get to his side I fast walk to his gate. I walk around to his window and call his cell. He immediately answers and says he'll be in the back soon. I sit down and close my eyes, listening to the birds singing and think about what just happened. I laugh and shake my head. Colton walks up smiling, but his expression changes when he sees me. "What's wrong?" I look up and tell him. He helps me up and we hold hands as we exit through the gate. We walk to the place where we will be doing some volunteering work today, which is Kingsbury Beach. There is debris everywhere and our group leader is handing out gloves an trash bags. We sign in, get a pair of gloves, and a bag. We have a section of the beach and start to work picking up glass, wood, cans, some pieces of metal, and anything else you can think of.

The hours tick by and we are finally done with our section by 4:30. We had one of the larger sections but by working together, and we got it done faster than I thought. After we are done Colton and I walk to the Ice Cream Shop and go outside, walking and talking about the next time we can go on a date. "So, what do you want to do for our next date?" He asks. "Um..... I don't know. Movies? Walk on the beach? Picnic? Lazy? The possibilities are endless." He looks at me and starts full out laughing. Have I ever said his laugh is amazing? No? Well it is! I look up and see chocolate ice cream on his nose, chin, and hand. He's trying to lick it off his nose so I quietly take my phone out of my pocket and take a few pictures of him. I'm about to put my phone down when I'm caught in the act and Colton flicks a piece of his ice cream at me. I gasp and throw a chunk of mine at him and he eats it. "Minty." I smirk and he picks me up while I smash his ice cream cone into his face. "Why didn't you use yours?" He asks while I eat the rest of mine. "I don't want to waste my magnificent Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream." He laughs and says, "That's my girl."

My mom texts and reminds me to be safe since no one is at home right now. I tell Colton and we walk in the direction to my house. We get to my front door five minutes later and he takes my hand. He whispers in my ear and says, "I know something we haven't done in awhile." I look up and bite my lip. We walk through the door and head up to my bedroom. I change into a pair of shorts and a large tee, take my shoes off and hop into my bed. Colton gets a pair of his extra tees that he keeps in my bottom drawer and a pair of shorts. He gets in beside me and cups my face. We just look at each other, both longing for the sweet, wonderful kiss that shows how much we love each other. We both lean in and soon our lips are connected and my arms are around his waist while his hands are still cupping my face. After a few more kisses, I cuddle up next to him and say, "I love you. So so much." I can feel him smile, so I look up and he's grinning so much that he kisses me again and sighs. We fall asleep in each other's arms, holding on as if we will never see each other again.

Hi everyone! Sorry if it was short, I kind of have a writer's block. This is the first chapter out of three that I will be writing until I get back on my usual routine. Thanks my lovelies and thank you for reading! Don't forget to comment what you think and vote if you thing it was good!
