Unraveling Who We Are

24: Painting?

Gracen's view

It's been a week since our first kiss and it's been amazing. We aren't out yet to the whole school, but our friends know. Frankly, I don't care if the whole school knows or not, they don't matter, only Emery matters to me. Emery and I have been going pretty slow even though I know for sure I want make out with her every minute, but I don't want to over step her boundaries and make her uncomfortable.

Man, I just like her so much. She's adorable and I like how she blushes so easily and how she blurts things out which most of the time are cute things and I like how unpredictable she is.

I can't wait for school to end so we can go to her place and snuggle the whole afternoon.

Throughout the entire day, Emery was acting a little weird, like she was nervous. Well she acts like that on a basis, but today it's more than usual. Every time I'd ask if she's okay, she'd say she's perfectly fine. I was still suspicious, but I let it go.

When we arrived at her house, we hugged each other tightly before kissing each other sweetly. I love kissing her, she's so gentle and kisses me with so much passion.

She then breaks away from the kiss and quickly grabs something from the table, hiding it behind her back. She then asks,

"Gracen, do you trust me?"

I look at her skeptically, but then answer yes.

"Okay, close your eyes," she orders.

I did as I was told. Honestly her ordering me was kind of hot, but I kept that to myself. She then blind folded me with a bandana and led me to her backyard. She sat me down in a chair and told me we were going to paint something. She then proceeds to ask what colors I want. I immediately answer rainbows, and then I hear a bunch of laughter behind me from Emery.

"What, I have to represent my gayness," I added, which resulted in more laughter from her.

She then gave my brushes with different colors to paint on a canvas. When we were finally done with all the colors, she did something with the canvas, all I heard was her taking things of off the canvas. Then she gently took off my blindfold and when I looked down at the canvas, I was in shock and really irritated.

"You had me blindfolded and paint our names?....really." I asked skeptically.

She laughed before telling me to turn it over. I slowly turned it over and couldn't help but blush. Then I turned around fast and pulled Emery to me by her cute cheeks and kissed her hard.

When we let go, I said,

"Of course I will be your girlfriend."

I looked from her to the back of the canvas, which asked if I would be her girlfriend. Damn, I picked a keeper, she's so sweet with me. I then turned back to Emery and noticed I got paint on her cheeks and I couldn't stop laughing. Next thing I know she's smearing a little bit of paint on my cheek.

"Oh heck no. You're going to get it Emery," I replied giving a sneaky smile. I chase her around with paint for a while until I finally catch her and pin her on the ground and squirt paint all over her. She gives me a defeated smile and I lean down to kiss her, just as I'm about to part from it, but she wraps her arms around my neck bringing me closer to her. We stay like that for a while, just kissing and enjoying one another's company and smearing paint on one another.
