"Aunt Jess? I'm home!" I had just gotten home from walking my Aunt's collier around the border of the beach. " Hi sweetie! I'm in the kitchen. Guess what I'm making!" My Aunt Jess' sweet but strong voice travelled around the hallway like a boom out of a megaphone. "Are you making Balloon Rides?" I said as I walked into the kitchen. Balloon Rides are a biscuit sphere, with a biscuit box, and strawberry laces connecting them together. They were the best thing in the world. "Good guess dear. You like them, don't you?" There was a hint of sarcasm in her voice. "Nope. Not at-all." I smiled at her. She has a great sense of humor, my Aunt Jess. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Jess went and opened it, whilst I stayed in the kitchen, making sure the strawberry laces cooked right- my Aunt made them by scratch! My mind drifted away from the laces, to the carnival, then came back to the present when Jess' voice pierced my thoughts. " Sky? It's for you. Someone called Jonah? He says he knows you." Jonah! Omigod. I forgot I gave him my address! I walked casually to the door andS̶m̶i̶l̶e̶d̶. Well. Scrap that. Blushed. Like a red tomato. I gestured to my Aunt to go away and asked Jonah in. He smiled when he saw Alex, the collier. " You like dogs?" I asked him. "Yup, my parents own a veterinary, I like all animals." "Me too." I blushed at how silly I sounded, agreeing with a practical stranger. It was silent for a moment, until Jonah broke it. "Umm. Skyler? How old are you?" Omfg. He said my name. The hottest guy on the planet said my name. I almost had a heart attack, right there and then. Wait. He asked me a question. "16. You?" "Wow. You look a lot prettier than most 16 year olds I know. I'm 17 by the way." "Naww. Thanks, but we both know it's not true. Take... Tara? For example? How old is she. You must know her." "She's 14. She looks like a slut. She's not georgous like you. She's a silly little girl." "14?! JESUS! She doesn't look 14! She looks at least 16!" "No. She doesn't. End of." Omigod. He argued with me... Eeeeaaa. "Anyway" He continues "Yeah?" I say, nervously... "Well. I was wondering.. Do you want to go on a date with me tonight? I know this roma-sweet place in town. I kinda have taken a shine to you and I want to make your visit Perfect!" Aww. He asked me out. Hang on. He asked me out! "Umm. Could you excuse me a second please?" I say. "Umm sure." He sounds nervous. I walk calmy into the kitchen where Aunt Jess is and she's listening at the door! I walk in "Aha Caught you!" I say laughing. I grab the pillow from the stool and hold it up to my face. I scream into it. That felt good. Taking the pillow away, I smile. Calmy, or as calmy as possible, I walk bck into the hall. Leaning on the stair-case, I smile, and say "Of course. What time?" "Err, I'll pick you up at 9:00pm?" "Perfect" I beam again. Ugh. Act Natural, Sky. Natural. "Do you want to come in?" I ask politely. "Sure." He smiles. He uses his nose to smell the air. At least he can fucking use his senses properly in my presence. Although, I suppose he's not quite so bewildered about me as I am about him. I ruffle my hair nervously and gesture him further than the hallway. I take him into the kitchen. "Hello you two. Sky, who's your boyfriend?" Aunt Jess asks. She knows I hate her teasing about boys. "He's not my boyfrie-" I start "I could be?" Jonah cuts in. Wait. He just. Eeek. The timer dings saying that the Balloons are ready. I take one and break it up into pieces. I pop a bit into my mouth and chew. When I make an mmm sound, Jonah looks at me. Holding a bit out to him, he takes it, smiling. He himself makes an mmm sound. I smirk at him. He takes my hand and Aunt Jess rushes out of the room. I blush, once again, and Jonah kisses my hand. "I'll see you soon, M'lady" He says bowing cheesily. I chuckle lightly and say goodbye. My Aunt comes rushing up to me once he's stroked Alex a few times, and he's left. "Aww. He is SO cute! Still think he's your boyfriend though!" She says, grinning a banana grin. "He is NOT my boyfriend!!" I say, obviously annoyed. I realize that it's nearly 7 O'clock, and Jonah's picking me up at 9:00! I kiss Jess on the cheek, grab a plate and a balloon ride, and rush up the stairs.
