Summer Love: Down by the Lake

Joke Not That Funny

We finish up the kiss and he says, " I think it's time to eat," he is wearing black gym shorts and a Duck Dynasty shirt.

"What did you bring for our first date?" saying while looking to the right side of him, while I'm still laying down on my back, I see a picnic basket, " Where having a picnic, so romantic," smiling because I am so happy, my dream has finally come true.

As Travis is pulling things out of the basket, he first pulls out his clothes that I can wear. He has a pair of black shorts like his, and his favorite black and green football Under Armor t-shirt," now careful that is my favorite shirt."

"I know you wear it all the time and you've had it forever, I'm going to go over here and change in the tree's, don't look," with a stern look on my face.

"Ok, I won't."

After trying to get my sopping wet clothes off me, I go back to find Travis with a little bouquet of three daisies, in his hands. He has the cutest smile that makes his brown eyes shine, and my heart melt, " you know not only are you cute, have gorgeous brown eyes, and you are also super sweet," as he hands them to me, "ok, what did you pick out?" I say while sit down next to him as our backs are to the stairs.

"I picked out PB and J, apple juice, and green grapes," pulling them out of the basket.

"Sounds good, I am really hungry," both of our stomachs growl as I say and we laugh.

We enjoy our PB and J's, sipping our apple juice once and a while so the peanut butter doesn't stick to the roof of our mouths. We play hoops with the grapes making the basketball, and our mouths the basket. We enjoy the time we're spending with each other. Laughing when we mis our mouths because it would bounce off our noses.

Our laughing settled down, and it was up to me, to pull my first trick on him being his girlfriend. I told him to throw me a grape, I act as if going to catch it, but when it is right to hit my mouth I close it, catching the grape in my hand I then throw it at his face hitting him right below his left eye.

He looks at me his left eye slightly closed because of where I hit him. I could see the anger in his right eye, the one I didn't hit, he stares at me intently, then out on a smirk. I gave him the evil eye, trying to figure out why he has a smirk, I laugh because his eye is twitching. He then showed his white straight teeth, he crept his hands closer to my stomach. Oh, no, he is going to tickle me. He started tickling me, I laugh non-stop, "STOP TRAVIS, I CAN'T, BREATHE," I say between breath's. Now, we are both down on our sides laying on the dock, he is still tickling me.

"How's your joke now, huh, isn't funny any more is it?" he says with a laugh.

"NO, STOP TRAVIS STOP, PLEASE, I, CAN'T, BREATH! I say between breath's and laughing, "IT'S NOT FUNNY, PLEASE STOP!"

"Oh, ok, I guess I'll stop," he replies with a shrug.

Travis and I are now laying on the dock, gazing up at the sky, trying to find different shapes in the clouds. My head is on his chest and I can feel his heartbeat, and his chest going up and down from breathing, are breathing is insync. I close my eyes for a moment, to capture all the feelings I know we are both feeling. I open them again, and point up at the bright blue sky with a different billion clouds in it, I point to one in particular, "Hey, that one looks like a turtle, don't you think?"

"Yeah, and that one over there looks like a heart, " he replies also pointing at the shape he picks out.

It seems as if we were staring up at the sky for hours, but in reality it Is only twenty minutes, once Travis looks to see what time it is on his iPhone, it reads seven. "Trav can I use your phone, to tell my mom I'm with you I haven't yet, " he hands me the phone and I type in my home number and sit up my mom picks up.

"Hey mom," I say after the phone stops ringing.

"Hey Sophie, who's phone are you using?"

"It's Travis's, I'm at his house and we're hanging out, I'll be home by nine, ok."

"Ok, just call me when you you leave there, and tell me everything when you get home, I love you."

"Ok, I love you too," we hang out and I could hear the curiosity in her voice. I smile to myself because she knows how long I have wanted this, and I know she could tell Travis and I are now together but when I said 'hang out'.
