Hidden Romance

~Thirteen

The next two days, Chloe hardly talked to me, and I was starting to think that I did something wrong.

Today was the 23rd of December, the day Chloe and I drove back to my place.

Packed and ready to go, we left their house by 6pm, making it back to my house around 8:30 pm.

"Chloe." I say, sitting in her car, in my drive way, "did I upset you? Did I do something wrong? You told me you liked me, and I'm not gonna hide it anymore, I like you too. I'm sorr-"

I was caught off guard when Chloe grabbed my face and kissed me.

"Sam I like you too, a lot, I didn't lie. I just.. I didn't want Ava and Mia knowing. I've liked you for awhile Sam, but I don't want to tell anyone anything that we do. Okay?"

I didn't say anything, I just kissed her again, "okay."
And then around 10 pm my mom called me.

"Yes?" I say.

"Sam!" My mother says, "are you almost home, I need to tell you something."

I hung up and we both went inside.
I went to my mom, who was in my dads office with my dad.

"Yes?" I ask.

"Me and you ur father are leaving for a week or two to go visit family. I'm sure you don't want to go, so I was just letting you know."

I nodded and walked back into the main room where the stairs were to see Chloe grabbing our bags and taking them upstairs.

We unpacked everything, said goodbye to my mom and dad and then we headed to the attic.

Chloe started watching tv while I cleaned up around the attic a bit.

Then I sat on my mattress.

"So.. Are we like girlfriends?" I ask.

She looks at me and smiles, "do you want to be?" She asks.

"Maybe." I laugh, "do you?"

"Maybe."

I chuckle and make my way towards her, I stand in front of her.
I lean down and look at her.

"I guess we are then." I smirk at her.

She smiles and kisses me.
"I guess we are."

For Christmas Eve, Chloe told me she was taking me somewhere special and it would be a surprise.

I was excited and couldn't wait to see it.

She told me to dress in something nice.
So I dressed into this black dress that came just above the knees. The dress had lace long sleeves.

I had to admit, I looked good.
About an hour later, I get a knock on the front door, as I open the door, my mouth drops.

Chloe was wearing a red short sleeve dress that went down to the floor.

"You look amazing." I laugh nervously.

She smiles, kissing me on my cheek, "so do you beautiful."
