Getting Attention

5- Welcoming

Chapter 5 - 'Welcoming'

It was late when Zach came, but I felt like a stalker watching him walk into my house from the hallway upstairs. I looked at my watch - 11:09 soon the lights would be out. When his parents left my parents welcomed him and asked me to come down. I came down and did my best to look casual but cool. In the process, I stumbled on a step. Smooth Jewls. "Julie, be a dear and take his bag and make him feel welcomed." My dad said with my mom nodding in a agreement. I nodded once and took his bag. He waved to my parents as they turned and left leaving us alone. I lead him to his bedroom upstairs and put his bag in the corner. "Do you want anything?" I asked as he fell back on the bed. "I was thinking of making hot cocoa." I said. "Sure i'll have some." He said as he started texting on his phone. I nodded and went back out the room.

5 Minutes later i was heading upstairs to his room again with a tray of 2 hot cocoas, whip chream, and marsh mellows. I knocked and he opened and invited me in.  I put the tray down on the desk in the room and handed him a cup. We both reached for the whip cream and our hands touched. Nothing for him, but something for me. "You can have it." He said while reaching for some marshmallows. "Thanks...." I whispered. He looked at me and I blushed feeling his eyes on me. We drank and talked on his bed which what felt like eternity. Soon I found myself laying face to face with him on the bed playing truth or dare. My turn. "Dare." I said as I smiled proud of my braveness. He returned that smile with his. "I dare you to kiss me." I got up immediately as he finshed his sentence and looked at him in surprise. "Don't you have a girlfriend?" I asked. He smiled and got up with me and held my hands. "Yeah but it's truth or dare, not cheat on  your gf week." He said this and the whole time I looked at his lips which I knew would be pressed against mine soon, he leaned into me, I eventually gave up and leaned toward him to complete our wishes. I closed my eyes embracing the moment I had with him. Soon he pulled away. I put my head down to find my hands entwined with his. We continued our game of dares, and became a tired mess. I fell on top of him listening to his heart beat, all night.
