A New Path

Chapter 5: Growing up

It has been a week now since our graduation and prom and this was the week Andre and his parents were supposed to move; the last week in June. I woke up that morning, sad because I knew my friend will be leaving soon. I got up and took a shower. Soon I headed outside to the tree house. While I was in the tree house, I heard someone call me.

"Jazzy!"

"Andre," I said in my head. I got up and looked outside. It was Andre. I quickly got down and jumped on him.

"Andre!" I yelled as I ran, jumped on him and he fell on the floor with his hands on my waist. When I looked at him, he had a huge smile on his face.

"I see my baby misses me."

"I did." I bent my head down and kissed him. The kiss after a while got intense and I was still on Andre. After a while, as we were still kissing, Andre turned me over and continued kissing me. He had his hands at my side and he started pushing his hands up my shirt. I didn't know what I was doing until I found my hands unbuckling Andre's pants. Suddenly, Andre stopped. Without saying a word, Andre got up, helped me back up and we walked up into the tree house.

In the tree house, we had sheets and blankets just in case we wanted to have a picnic or we fell asleep. Andre took a blanket and spread it out on the tree house ground. He lay down as he pulled my hand down with him. I know some people don't know what they are doing at our age but we actually did. Our parents sat down with us and told us about all of this, well because we asked them. As I came down, Andre pulled me on top of him and his hands held my waist down again. He pushed his hands up my shirt and massaged my sides. After a while, Andre pulled my shirt over my head. I was glad I wore my training bra.

"Wait Andre stop," I said as I stood up and moved Andre's hand from my waist.

"What happened baby?" he said sitting up, looking at me.

"Are you sure you wanna do this now?"

"I am but we can do it another time."

"No I mean do you really want to do this at this age? You don't want to wait until we get older?"

"Look baby that's the thing. I don't know if we are going to see each other in the future or even keep talking when I leave. Anything can happen and I want to do it now with the person I first loved even if I happen to fall in love with someone else. I will always love you as a friend and as your boyfriend no matter what happens, so I want to do this now," he said as he held my hand and pulled me down towards him.

"Are you sure you wanna do with now?"

"It's now or never and besides I should be asking you that. Are you sure?"

"I don't know."

"Don't you want to do it with someone you love, someone you have fallen in love with?"

"Yes."

"And who is that?"

"You"

"How long have you been in love with me?"

"Since the day I was able to talk, I thought you were cute and since then I always had a crush on you."

"Well do you think I might be the one for you?"

"Yes my heart tells me you are. Do you think I might be the one you want to spend the rest of your life with?"

"Yes I do."

"So are you sure you want to do this, because I promise I won't do this and then just leave you and never talk to you again; I don't do that?"

"I'm sure now, I'm scared but I'm sure." I was really scared because I heard it hurt but I trusted Andre and I trusted that he would always love me even though I might not seem him again after today. This might be the best way to say our goodbyes to each other.
