Summer Days

Chapter 8

"JenJen, you ready?"

I asked, as I knocked on her bedroom. 

This was it; tonight I was going to change the status of what we have going on. Not sure if she would agree to it but worth a shot, after all what would be the worst to happen? She's gonna say no and it wouldn't be the first time I've gotten rejected by a girl before.

"Yeah, you can come in!"

I heard her shout, sounded like she was just finishing up. I smiled as I opened the door and saw her standing in front of the mirror. Man, was she cute. I told her not to get dressed up, we weren't going to do anything fancy like the other guys have done. I knew she wouldn't want fancy anyways. But seeing her there, standing in ripped dark jeans with a low cut black tank top on. Damn. Even then she was just as gorgeous as ever. 

"You ok?"

Her soft voice said, as she had walked over to stand in front of me. I nodded as I slipped my arms around her waist.

"You're being weird Frankster."
"Sorry, it's just, you, I."
"Huh?"
"You look amazing."

I let out a chuckle as I saw her cheeks lightly flush to a shade of pink; never in my world did I think I could be the one to make Jen blush. I watched her look up at me and send me a smile. Leaning in, I kissed her, as her arms wrapped around my neck. Pulling her body closer to mine, I let the kiss deepen; probably the first time I've ever done that with her, we were usually just giving each other these small peck on the lips.

"Lets go."

I finally mumbled when I broke the kiss, taking her hand in mine as we headed out of her room.

"Where's Frankie?"

I asked, seeing the rest of the dudes chilling in the living room, watching sports as always.

"Took Jen out."
"Oh."
"So man, you and Angel?"
"What about her?"
"Dude, we're pretty sure we heard you guys fuckin' last night."
"Uh.."

I froze, not knowing what to say to their comments; I didn't think they would hear us, I mean, I tried to keep her from screaming loud enough.

"We, uh, nah, we weren't dudes. We hate each other."
"Didn't sound like it bro."
"Man, shut up. Don't tell me you and Britt haven't gone that far."
"We haven't."
"Greg, you and Ash?"
"Not a chance bro."
"Seriously? None of you fucked?"
"Brah, we're not like that."
"Carmine, you're the biggest man whore in school."
"Britt's different, I'm not going to chance that."

"Was she good?"

We looked over at Matt in surprise; didn't see that coming from the quiet one in the group.

"That's uh, dude really?"

I had no idea how I wanted to respond to that question; I, well yeah, she was fuckin' amazing, she's got that beautiful soul. But I couldn't legit tell these guys that our sex was amazing. 

"Dude, yes."
"Fine, yes, she's good."

I rolled my eyes as I watched the other guys take amusement about my sex night with Angel. Letting them be, I went into the kitchen and grabbed a drink; I knew it would be a long night with these three.

"Italian food will always be my favorite."

I said, as we got into his car, heading off to who knows where he had planned next. I heard him laugh as he reached over with his free hand and took mine, lacing our fingers together. I couldn't help but smile as I glanced down; it was the cutest yet so simple thing a guy could do.

"What's next?"
"Relax, JenJen, you know it's a surprise for a reason."
"Frankster, I hate surprises."
"Oh come on. That's a lie."

He knew it was; after all, what girl really did hate surprises? It's not fun all the time, but it was cute. And knowing him for this short time, like really knowing him, he had something good up his sleeve. 

I looked out the window, seeing houses and trees for the most part, until we reached a different section where it was brighter, lights....rides.

"Whoa."
"What?"
"That."

I simply just said, seeing a fair ground, rides up high; a Ferris wheel, a small roller-coaster, the swings that go high, and more. I felt like my childhood was flashing right in front of me. Looking back at Frankie, I noticed he had parked the car in one of the lots.

"No way?"
"Yes."
"Ah, you're amazing."
"Why?"
"Cause I like carnivals."

Frankie just laughed as he got out of car, I followed. He walked over to me as I shut the door and he clicked the lock button on his car keys. He slipped his arm around my waist as we headed towards one of the gates.

"How'd you know?"
"I didn't, I just saw an advertisement somewhere. Thought we could have fun instead of the cheesy movie and dinner or go to the park or beach date."

As he paid for two admission tickets, he looked back at me while we headed inside when they scanned them.

"Date?"

I teased, seeing him smack his hand on his head. I laughed as I lent up and kissed him, something I never thought I'd be comfortable with doing. But somehow, with him, things felt right.

After a while of playing games and getting cotton candy, we went on the Ferris Wheel. As it slowly moved up, I let my head lean against his shoulder as his arm was around my waist. Glancing up at him, he was on his phone, sending a snap chat of the view. While he did that, I couldn't help but sneak a pic of us myself, sending it on snap chat and saving it. Things really felt perfect at that moment. Here I was, with the guy I had a crush on since I could remember. 

We finally got to the top and I looked down at the people, everything was so small.

"Hey Jen?"

Glancing over at Frankie, I looked at him and saw him smile at me.

"Yeah?"

He lent in and kissed me, his hands; one on the back of neck and the other on my cheek. I felt him deepen it as I just sat there. Whoa.

"JenJen, will you be my girlfriend?"
