Making Up

        In the morning it had seemed like nothing had changed because we weren’t talking yet. The air was filled with tense, unspoken words and uncertainty, but I finally chose to speak.

          “Last night… What we did, that was not a mistake to me, and I need you to know that. I…” I looked down, avoiding Lucas’s gaze.

          After a moment, he leaned over the table to lead me by the wrist and sit me next to him so that I had to stare him in his eyes, his deep, caring, wonderful eyes…

          In my mind, I’m sure I slapped myself and scolded my new girly self to cut it out. What has happened to me? Oh jeez, I’m really falling in love with him. I’ve got to stop it… No. I don’t need to stop it. I’m starting a new life… A whole new life, with new people, a new house, nearly everything is a fresh start… Right, okay, that’s good. This is better. I took a deep breath and focused on what was in front of me again.

          “Look… I feel the same way too, all right? I never say the right things at the right moment, or the first time, I give bad first impressions. I do want to be with you. You just have to give people, and me, a second chance…” Lucas said.

          “I’m definitely not giving my parents a second chance…” I mumbled, with my head down again.

          His eyes looked at me with pity instead of annoyance at me not listening to his words. “Yes, I understand that Violet… But at least give me one; and other people. You need friends.”

          After what seemed like a millennium, I relented, looking back up and I replied: “Okay, okay… I will… For now it’s only you…”

          “That I can deal with,” he said, holding me closely, and I could feel the relief running through his body; the tension exiting as well.

          Hesitantly I wrapped my arms around his waist too, and we stayed there like yesterday upstairs, when he was upset, except this was more of an embrace. It was… nice, to be held again; loved again.

          I could tell he felt that way too. A smile reached my lips, curving them up and I lifted my head up to look at him as he looked down at me. It was like we were in sync, already.

          We laughed together and kissed, but hesitantly at first. Didn’t want to bring back what happened yesterday… But soon our love took over, and it was too much for us, we were at a loss to our own bodies, deepening the kiss.

          But we had to stop sometime, to get out breath back. When we did, we certainly were out of breath. Lucas smiled at me and then he had a thought, his eyes looking away, in a different place.

          “Do you want to go to the fair? It’s kind of where I work… But I’ve made it cool with some… modifications, believe me, more people have been coming around. Please?” He looked at me like he was ten years old; his eyes sparkling.

          “All right, all right, if you say it’s cool and promise me I won’t throw up or anything, then I’m good,” I said, poking him in the side as I ran to the front door to grab my jacket.
