SUMMER NIGHTS

summer

I wake up and stretch, a good stretch. A stretch where it makes you want to go back to sleep. I sleepily get out of bed and get myself ready for the day. As I'm brushing my teeth I hear the front door open and my mom greeting some guests. I shrug, thinking it's family stopping by. I spit and throw my hair into a high pony and walk downstairs.

My mom is making breakfast? It smells so good and it sound like people are already eating. I go to the kitchen and eat the cantaloupe and watermelon like a slob that is sitting on the counter and slowly turn my head to the breakfast table when I hear conversation stop. And there it was. Bruno, Bernie and my mom staring at me. Bruno looked like he wanted to laugh and my mom just shook her head. I blushed hard and took two pancakes and brought it to the table with me and sat in the open seat. "So, we were talking and we think it would be a good idea to go out later." My mom says as I start eating.

"Oh, yeah? Where?" "We were waiting for you for that part. You always have good ideas." She says again.

"Aw, how sweet of yall. Hmm, well maybe we can go to the mall? See a movie there, shop a bit, walk around?" I suggest. Bruno smiles big. "I agree to that idea." I giggle at the way he said that and finished off my food. "Or, you guys can shop and walk around and Bernie and I can go see a movie or two." My mom says and Bernie gives her a high five. I laugh and shrug. "Whatever is fine if everyone is okay with it." I take my plate and Brunos plate to the kitchen and start to wash them.

"You didn't have to do that y'know." Bruno says, walking up next to me. "Take your plate?" He nods. "It was just sitting there and it was bothering me. Don't worry. I'll put you to hard work one of these days." I giggle.

Bernie goes home quickly to get her purse and we all hop into my mom's car and pull off on our way to the mall.

I take out my phone and open snapchat and hold it up, facing Bruno and I. "Selfie!" I say wrapping my arm around Brunos shoulder. We both smile and I put it on my story with the caption "day 3 with B!" Bruno then whips out his phone and takes mine into his hand and adds me on snap. "So smooth." I giggle. He shrugs with a smirk tugging at his lips.

"And we are here." My mom says, pulling into the parking lot. "This is gonna be fuuuunnnn." I say.

"Peter, I have a warning for you." My mom says, glancing behind her. "What is it?" He asks. "Tunia is a hard core shopper. And I want to wish you good luck." He laughs and I shake my head. "I'm not that bad. I'm only bad with you and dad. Friends? Not too bad." We all get out of the car and Bruno and I head for the entrance and my mom and Brunos mom head into the movie theater entrance.

"So where to first, princess shopper?" Bruno does a playful bow and I shove him gently. We laugh and I look around, "how about... Victorias Secret?" I look at him, holding in a giggle. His eyes widen and he blushes. "Uhh, i-i don't know---" "I'm just kidding, Bru! I won't torture you... yet."

I walk ahead of him and he catches up to me. "Can we walk around the target here? Target is so much fun."

I shrug. "Sure, most of my shopping will probably be done in there anyway." We walk in there together and head over to the music section. "Oooo, I want to get this." I say picking up Michael Jackson's Dangerous album. "I love MJ! he's one of my idols." Bruno exclaims. "Me too!" He picks up one of his own and we continue to walk around. "Y'know, I love music. I want to be a singer one day. Performing in front of millions of people." I look at him with a smile. "You should sing for me later. I wanna hear your voice." I say. He blushes and looks at me as I'm looking at all the crafts in front of us, "really? You would?" "Yes! I love music. I just don't think I would ever be a singer. I don't have a good voice." I shrug and grab his hand pulling him out of the crafts area. "I'll sing for you. I one hundred percent will." He smiles at me even bigger than before and grips my hand tighter before letting go.

I don't know why but... that gave me some butterflies. The way he smiled at me, squeezed my hand. I shake my head to rid the thoughts and continue walking with him.

We have been here for about an hour now and I've seen 3 people from school walking around here. I mean, why wouldn't they. It's a big mall.

Bruno and I were sitting at a table right now drinking smoothies and eating mini cupcakes. Our moms are at the little kiosk checking out sunglasses. "School is starting up soon. About a month. Are you ready?" I question him, taking a sip from my strawberry smoothie. "Kind of. But, before summer ends I want to make the best of it. Get into trouble with people, not regret things that I should, fun!" I roll my eyes playfully. "Stick with me and that most likely won't happen." He pouts and I shrug. "Well, depends on what kind of trouble. With the police or our parents." "With our parents, silly!" He says making a duh face. I flick his hand that was on the table as he's sipping his drink. "Fine.. I can do that."

"Let's get our moms away from the sunglasses." Bruno says standing up with his drink and and goes to throw out our napkins from the mini cupcakes. "What a gentleman." I joke and push in my chair while latching my arm with his, walking over to the kiosk.

"Mom, are you ready?" I giggle. My mom turns around and looks at us. "Oh yes! Let's get going. Thank you for the help, sir!" She waves goodbye to the guy working at the kiosk and waits for Bernie to join us.

We all walk out of the mall and head straight to the car. "How was it, Peter?" My mom asks. "She was very good. I had to hold her back from buying perfume in PINK when apparently she has the same one." I shake my head and look at Bruno. "He's lying. We didn't even go in there."

My mom laughs and pulls out of the parking lot. 

"I don't want to end it here." I pout. "Well I'm taking a nap because dad and I are going out tonight. You can still do something." "Yeah, I have to stay home and wait for my husband to arrive. Then Bru, him and I are going to dinner tonight." Bernie agrees with my mom.

"I can still hang though. Like... while my mom waits, we can do something." Bruno says, looking at me. I nod and smile.

"Okay, sounds like a deal!" My mom says. After about 15 more minutes of driving, we pull up in front of their house and let Bernie out. "See you later, sista!" My mom yells to her. I slap my forehead and shake my head as she's pulling into our driveway. "Okay, you guys can do whatever now. But Bruno has to leave in like two hours." I nod and my mom goes inside and we get out of the car.

"What should we do?" Bruno asks. "Let's call up our friends. They're fun and no what to do." I giggle. He nods and I pull out my phone text Randy, "tell everyone to meet me at my house. Bruno and I are bored and we want to hang with yall."

"Done." I put my phone away and Bruno lays down on the grass. "Ugh, I don't want summer to be over yet." He whines. I lay next to him and agree. "We have thirty more days left. And like you said, we have to make the most of it." He wraps his arm around my shoulder and pulls me closer to him. I'm basically laying on his chest... but I'm not complaining.
