"So, what is going on with you and Jace?" My mom was standing by the counter, sipping her jasmine tea.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't act like you and Jace don't have something going on. Y'all are always locked in your room, talking or doing whatever else y'all do. So spill, unless you want me to ask him."
"Fine, well I'm not sure what is happening between us. I like him and he likes me, but that is as much as I know. I think it might go further, just have to sit an wait. I don't know if I should take the first step or let him."
"If you want something go for it, that's what my mother always told me."
I stood up and started to go to my room. "I have homework I have to do."
My mom hesitated before speaking. "Alyssa, it's Saturday."
Oh man I didn't even think of that. Well she had caught me in my lie. "Okay you caught me, I just really don't want to talk about Jace right now. If you will excuse me, I will be in my room."
----
Knock, knock, knock
"Come in"
Jace reveals himself from the other side of the door, he steps into my room.
"I'm sorry to disturb whatever your doing but--"
I cut him off. "I wasn't doing anything, really."
"We have been hanging out and going out. All this time I have spent with you has been not fun than I have had in a long time. We both have feelings for each other, but I am absolutely clueless on where you see this going far, but only if you want it to. Do you want it to?"
I stood up and walked over to him. I grabbed his hand and sat next to him on my bed.
"Look, I like you a lot. I have for a while now. I want to be with you, I just wasn't sure if you were wanting that right now."
"I want that, more than anything at the moment. Alyssa, will you go out with me?"
