Chapter Four

"So you have to tell me what happened" Chass and I are sitting on her bed and the guys are out on a so called 'guys night out' and Chass is forcing me to tell her what happened the day before. "Eve! Mason walked out of that room with the biggest smile on his face then you walked out and when you guys made eye contact you both blushed." She started poking me.

"Nothing important happened, Chass." I lied. She knows me. She knows when I'm lieing. "Eve Hisarah! Tell me or else!" She exclaimed. "Or else what" I snarled and she grabbed my phone. "I'll show him the pictures." I have a folder in my gallery of Mason.... It's not too much! I'm not a crazy stalker. I mostly use them for drawing purposes. Okay, half the time. Fine! I mostly use them just to see him. I only mainly used it in middle school.

"You wouldn't!" I whispered. "I would" She replied. "Gimmie my phone back!" I tried reaching for it but she is way taller than me. "Tell me what happened!" She taunted. "Fine!" "Really?" She looked at me like I was crazy. "Yes, I kissed him. Now give the phone." I snatched the phone out of her hand. "You WHAT?!?! How did you not tell me? Where did you kiss him? On the cheek?" She spoke fast, making it hard for me to keep up.

"I didn't kiss him on the cheek. I actually went for it and did it." I smile at her. "You...... Kissed him...... On the lips??? How dare you not tell me! I need to know everything!" She clapped her hands together like a little kid. "I don't see what the big deal is. I'm 20 and you're 22. It was just a kiss." I put my hands in my lap. "Just a kiss? A kiss with the love of your life!" She yelled. "Shhh, China's gonna hear you." I laugh. "Eve, you kissed the love of your life on the lips. How can I not freak out? How can you not freak out?" She bounced up and down in excitement.

I still don't get why she's freaking out. Steven and I are 20, Mason's 21 and Chass is 22. I mean I am in love with him. He's so nice and cute. "Why are you freaking out about this? I'm 20 Chass. You're freaking out about nothing." "You've never kissed him on the lips! Wait, have you?" She got closer. "No I haven't. Maybe but that's not the point. I'm older, I'm not a middle schooler now." I looked her in the eyes.

"Tell me every last detail!! It's so cute!!" Chass took my shoulders and shook me. "Okay, jeez." I told her the story, every last detail. "He took a step closer to me and hugged me really tight. He whispered 'thank you' and walked out of the room. That's it."
"Did you like it?" She stared at me. "No. I loved it. His lips are so soft and warm and he's so cute." I put my head in my hands. I think I looked like a tomato by now. "You two are adorable. You need to date, right now." She laughed. I wish, I thought.

"But he isn't telling me he likes me, I don't just wanna flat out ask him out if he isn't ready." I looked down at my hands. "You both really like eachother, it's so obvious. He's 21, I think he's ready. Besides, if he says no you can still make him watch a movie with you, here. That's always an option." She put her hand on my leg. "I wanna talk to him about it. What should I say?" I ask. "Tonight when you're crawling into bed just say, 'Mason? I need to talk to you about something' and talk to him then." Chass smiled.

"Okay, thanks. I'm gonna go swimming if you wanna come." I get up and walk out of her room. I threw on a cute white and blue striped bikini and dove in. I love to swim. I love how the water caresses my skin and the sand gets between my toes. Swimming is really fun to me. Sometimes when I come to shore and as soon I as I step one foot on land I wanna go back out. That's just how I am. As I glide along the bottom of the beach I hear something in the water. I pop my head up and everyone is coming out to swim with me. "Well hello there" I laugh and wave to them but I'm to far out for them to hear me.

I dive back under and swim back to shore to greet them. "Hey guys! So you're coming out to swim with me?" I stand on my knees in the water. "Yeah, I was just about to swim out there to you." Steven smiles. "What an honor." I laugh and swim out a little bit. Steven dove in and we swam out deeper. "So what happened while you were out?" I ask as soon as we're far enough out. "Nothing. We just went to a bar and talked." Steven looked away. "What did you talk about?" I swam closer to him. "Just... Things. Life, people." I cocked an eyebrow. "People? What people?" He just kinda blushed.

"You talked about Chastity and I, didn't you?" "You two came up.... A lot... Many times...." He kept his voice low. "What did you say?" I was mainly wondering what Mason said about me but I didn't wanna be rude. "I know you want to know what Mason said about you." Can he read my mind? Steven, if you can hear me clap your hands twice. He didn't do anything. Phew you can't read my mind. "You can't tell him anything I say." I nod. I really wanna know what he said.

"He said he really likes you. He things you're really pretty even you don't think so buuut" Oh no. "What..." I take a deep breath. "He thinks you're being to straight forward, like you're throwing yourself at him. He does really like you. He wants to tell you how be feels but he's scared that you'll think you're dating right then and there." I look at the water and out to the horizon.

"He knows he shouldn't worry about that, right? I won't rush us. He can tell me all he wants how much he likes me, or loves if he does, but I won't say we're dating until we both say yes to our relationship. I will never rush him, we can date when he's ready." I look over at Steven and there's a hopeful glint in his eye. "What?" I cock an eyebrow. "Nothing, nothing. Look, they're coming out." Steven points to Mason and Chass walking out to us.
