Just A Summer Love?

Four

We drove off. We kind of just drove around not really knowing where to go. We eventually pulled into the amusement park that was in the town.

"How much do you bet that I could get inside that booth and work at it." Brett asks and Caden and I laugh at him. "Ten dollars." Caden says and Brett shrugs walking over to the booth. It was one of those booths where you shoot the water in the clowns mouth and it blows up the balloon.

He walked over and jumped over the counter and put on a little apron thing. We watched as the actual worker walked in. The worker started yelling at Brett and eventually Brett took off the apron thing and sulked over to us. He handed Caden ten dollars and we laughed at him.

We walked around all night just riding a few rides until it was about three in the morning.

We went back to the car and drove home. We have school tomorrow so we're probably just going to lounge around all day, my mom has work so she won't be around and I know we do have to go pick Layla up from the vet where she's been for the last two days. They were just running some tests, giving her shots, etc.

I threw the keys on the counter and collapsed on the couch. "Worn out?" I hear someone say as I'm about to fall asleep. I open my eyes and see my mom.

She was no longer wearing her dress from last night but rather her work clothes.

"Mhmm." I said closing my eyes again. I heard her chuckle then she walked off towards the kitchen.

"Baby. Wake up, it's time to go get Layla." I hear Brett saying to me. I fee him running his hands through my hair. He kissed my lips and I kissed back letting him know I'm now awake. "Cmon." He said. I sighed and open my eyes sitting up. I lifted my arms and he chuckled picking me up bridal style and carrying me out to the car.

He gently placed me in the passengers seat and buckled me up and I dozed off again.

The next time I was woken up by something wet on my face. I then felt something licking me. I opened my eyes quickly and saw it was just Layla. She was standing up with her wheels on my lap and her front paws on my chest. Brett was in the drivers seat and he looked over at me when I touched his bicep with my hand.

I sat there for a while just staring at him, "I love you." I said, "I lov-" he started to say but I cut him off. "No like actually. I don't think this is just some sort of high school sweetheart thing. I seriously love you, all of the dangerous things we've done...every time I always wonder what I would do without you. I wouldn't be myself. You've helped me through so much and I don't think I could be without you; your like my oxygen, I need you but you slowly killing me." I said and he chuckled. "I feel the same exact way Kylie. I would give a while speech too but how am I supposed to follow that?" He asked and I laughed.

I focused my attention back on Layla and I pet her as she relaxed and Brett turned up the radio.

Right now it's about eleven at night, we actually don't have school tomorrow because it's a teacher day or whatever and Brett is trying to drag me to a party.

"Pleeeeeaaaaaaaaaasssssseeeee Kyylliiiiee!" He begged for the millionth time. "Brett for the last time no!" I said. "So the next time will be a yes?" He asked and I growled at him. "Please Kylie. I'll get you pizza afterwards." He said and I rolled my eyes...he knows food is my weakness. "Fine." I said huffing. He fist pumped the air and I walked over to my closet grabbing an outfit.

I slipped the black sequined dress on and out on a small gold necklace and black pumps. I walked out and saw Brett on my bed, he was wearing beige joggers and a blue plaid button up and black Jordan's. "Wow." He mumbled looking at me. I smiled and walked over to him. I held my hand out to him and he grabbed it standing up.
