******INTRO******

Hello my name is Kate, and this is my story. Its about the year I turned 18/ my senior year in high school. Its about how I met Eric and its OUR story. It’s a rather interesting story, rather strange, but full of romance (without going into detail) and has both good times and bad. We started out having a great summer, then school starts and things get rocking. We are finally smoothing things out when things take a turn for the worse. Now what’s going to happen? Is he still going to be with me? is he going to leave me? Does he really love me the way he says he does? WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?!?!?!?!?! Those were just some of the many things going through my head. But let me start at the begining.... 

***** (flashback)****

It was June, the end of my junior year and the start of my senior year. I had just turned 18, and I was going out to celebrate with some friends. We were headed for this awesome club that we often hung out at when we were celebrating, not that we did this a lot but enough. I not really a big drinker so I normally didn’t go but tonight was that exception. Now this day seemed no different than any other, but it was the day that changed my life forever!

             We got into the club no problem, it helps when one of your friends is super model hot. We went straight for the dance floor and planned on dancing the night away. Chrissy, my best friend in the whole world, wanted to stop and get a drink and I followed her. We got to the bar and sat down, I was looking around at everything and everyone, when I noticed the guy sitting next to me. He was super super HOT! I looked over at him to catch him staring at me. He shook his head a little like he was zoning back in from a daydream or something. We just sat there and stared at each other for a while no one saying anything at first, just lost in each other’s eyes. I instantly felt a connection!

He opened his mouth and the most beautiful deep voice said, “Pardon my staring, you must think I’m rude. I’m Eric, Eric Winter.”

He held out his hand. I was still a little dazed and was a little confused at first but immediately placed my hand in his, as I blushed. “No problem at all. I’m Kate, Kate Grangerly. It’s nice to meet you.” As our hands met I felt a spark and goose bumps all over my body.

“The pleasure is mine, really.” He replied, still holding my hand and bring it up to his lips. He kissed my hand gently and I could tell he truly meant what he had said.  I smiled at him, and it was as of the whole world seemed to disappear. “Can I buy you a drink?”

Unable to stop smiling, I replied, “Sure”. I looked over at Chrissy and she winked at me and walked off toward our friends. Eric and I sat there talking and laughing, me making sure not to drink too much, didn’t want anything coming out that I didn’t want to, or let anything happen that I didn’t want to happen.

Lost in my train of thought I almost didn’t hear him when he said, “Care to dance?” I shook my head yes, as I took a sip of the drink he had bought me. I loved to dance. As we stood up to start dancing, he grabbed my hand and led me to the middle of the crowd, just as a slow song came on. We danced and flirted all night.

I was getting ready to leave with Eric close behind me but I wanted to say goodbye to my friends first. He asked me to join him back at his place and I accepted without being too eager even though I was jumping for joy inside. As I looked around I noticed my friends had ditched me, but that was fine with me, if only they had told me.  But hey that just meant I got to spend more time with Eric. I picked up my phone to call them to make sure that they had left, and to chew them out for not saying goodbye to me, and I noticed I had a new text. I opened it only to read, Hey you looked like you were having too much fun with mr HOTTIE over there that we didn’t want to bother you with our stupid goodbyes. We thought he could give you a ride home ;) remember don’t do anything I wouldn’t and wear protection;)!!!!!!!!! I’ll call you tomorrow, if I don’t hear from you tonight, to make sure you are okay. Don’t forget I want every detail!!!! Love you and have fun – Chrissie. I read the text from my best friend and smiled, she was the complete opposite of me, always up for a good time, and she knew I that I wasn’t having sex until I was 110% ready. Although that was normally one thing I always stuck by and couldn’t see myself doing with the guys I did hang out with at bars, but I wasn’t having that same “problem” tonight. I wasn’t letting my guard down though.

I explained to Eric that my friends had left so we could go. We got our stuff and went. He was a complete old fashion gentleman, opening my door and such. The car ride was short with him living 3 blocks away, and we sat in comfortable silence, which I was totally fine with because then I got to think about things.

 It seemed strange but even though we had just met, I felt like we had always known each other, conversation came easy and I was completely honest, I even said things I normally wouldn’t have. I felt 100% comfortable to completely be myself, with zero awkwardness, as I was flirting and getting to know him. 

Back at his place we sat and talked. Making easy conversation. He ordered us a pizza and put in a movie. It was a comedy and it was really funny, we sat and joked about it even after it was finished. When it was over I looked at the clock it was 2:30 in the morning! I turned to him and explained that I needed to go home, without mentioning my curfew or parents, and he happily drove me home.  Although I could see a slight sadness now present in his eyes.

He drove me home and continued to talk about the movie as well as finding common interests, such as bands, we both bowled, we both liked art, and both were only children. I also found out about his dad’s death when he was 15. He parked in my driveway and I was getting ready to get out when I realized I didn’t have his number. “Thanks for driving me home. I’ll give you my number and maybe we can do this again?” I more asked then said.

“Yeah, here you can put it in my phone and I’ll do the same to yours.” I smiled and we exchanged phones.

“There.” We both said as we gave the phones back to each other. I got out of his car and went over to his window.

“I had a great time tonight. Thanks so much.” I leaned into kiss him and instantly felt a wave of passion brush over me. I smiled as we broke away from the kiss. “Text me.” I said practically skipping into my house.

As soon as got up to my room I went to text Chrissy to let her know I was home safely. And as I hit send I got a new message from Eric, I’m so glad I met you tonight ;) I had a blast! Sleep tight, and I will be counting the minutes until I hear from you again as well as see your face. Goodnight beautiful! ;)  As I read it I couldn’t keep the smile off my face!

I replied, Me too! Goodnight handsome! ;)

I went to bed that night super ecstatic. We didn’t texted each other that night anymore, but we did every night there after. We texted each other for days on end, and would stay up late into the night and early morning texting.  We also saw each other at least 3-4 times a week! Going out on dates, hanging at his place, meeting up with friends together or just spending time together the two of us. It didn’t matter what we did, we always had a blast just being with each other.
