My Girl

14

"I have a question." Mykie said.
"Shoot." I said my mouthful of apples.
"Why are you such a-"
"Jackass." I cut her off.
"I was going to say douche but jackass works too." She corrected.
"Why do you ask?"
"I see the way you look at girls you look at them like they're nothing but fish that you can real in and then toss back when ever you please, like they're nothing." Woah she uses the same metaphors, awesome. "Oh and the way you talked to me is that the way you talk to all girls." She asked.
"No."
"Really." She said in disbelief crossing her arms.
"Yep."
"Okay name the girls."
"Girl." I corrected.
"What?" She asked and I paused for a moment before answering.
"There was one girl that I didn't treat like all the rest."
"What was her name?" Mykie asked.
"Claire, she was my first girlfriend. She was the love of my life, I committed everything to her, she was everything I ever wanted but, I wasn't what she wanted. So after a year of dating she broke up with me." I told her.
"I'm sorry, how old were you?" She asked.
"14 the year after my dad died."I answered.
"Damn must've been hard."
"Ya so after that I've always been afraid of commitment, I thought if that's what happens when you give your all to someone what's the point." I said.
"Ya." Mykie agreed. We sat in silence for a few seconds before I said.
"So what about you, who was your first boyfriend or more importantly who led you to be so, mean?" I asked with a smirk.
"That's none of your business." She said.
"Oh come on I just poured my heart out to you and your going to leave me hanging?"
"Yep."
"Oh come on come on come on come on." I said poking at her side.
"Stop, stop that."
"What are you ticklish?"
"No I just-" I began to tickle her and she burst out with pain filled laughter.
"Stop stop!" She wailed.
"Tell me!" I exclaimed.
"No!"
"Tell me!" I said as I tickled harder and she fell back.
"Fine fine I'll tell you just stop." She gave in and I stopped allowing her to sit back up and catch her breath.
"I'm waiting." I said.
"Ok fine, so I was 14 like you and there was this boy I really liked and his name was Derek. So later on I found out that he liked me too and we started dating, so for the next 8 months we were together. Then one week I found out from a friend that he cheated on me with my best friend at the time. So anyway after that Caleb approached me and we've been friends since and after that incident I've always been standoffish and I've had trust issues and Caleb's the only one I trust and can be myself around." She told me.
"Dang, hey I might not like commitment and I might be a jackass but I know one thing and that's you should never cheat on anyone no matter what, that's just wrong, especially if it's on a girl as cool as you." Mykie's face went bright red and all I could do was laugh.

30 minutes later she left because Caleb came to take her home and I hopped in the shower and began to think. Wow I never thought the girl that dumped milk on my head could be so, cool. Once I was finished with my shower I got my pajamas on and hopped into bed. Damn what a day I can't wait for tomorrow, correction I can't wait to see Mykie again.
