Beach Days ~T.H.~

Chapter 5

Tayler and I make out for a while, and before I know it, Tayler is removing his shirt. I realize that this could escalate further than I initially thought. I pull away from Tayler, breathless.

"I'm going to sound like a bitch, but..." I start.

"But you don't want to have sex," Tayler says, attempting to finish my thoughts.

"Actually, no. I totally want to, but I mean we barely know each other and I'm kind of a... I mean I haven't..." I want to tell him, but I don't want to seem like I'm scared, or make him think that I'm weird.

"Oh shit! Why didn't you say something, Em?" Tayler begins, getting off me and quickly puts his shirt back on. "If I would have known it was your first time then I wouldn't have-" I only let him get this far before I cut him off.

"You know what? Fucking save it Tayler. I don't even want to continue talking about this,"  I snapped.

I jogged over to my stuff and threw it into my bag before quickly running up towards my Jeep  and driving off.

What the fuck just happened?

————

I get home and leave my shit in the car. I go inside and go to my fridge before pulling out the remainder of my smoothie that I made this morning for breakfast. I take it into my bedroom and plop down onto my bed before pulling out my phone.

12 unread messages from: Tayler
5 missed calls from: Tayler
1 missed FaceTime from: Tayler

What the actual fuck?

I clear my notifications and turn it off.

I throw my phone onto my nightstand before turning on the TV. The minute I find something that sounds interesting my phone starts to receive a FaceTime.

Tayler would like to FaceTime...

I would have ignored him if even a part of me thought he would give up. I knew he wouldn't so I covered the camera and answered the call before quickly muting myself.

"Em? Are you there?"

I unblock the camera and let him view my ceiling to let him see that I was on and just ignoring him.

"Ok so you're ignoring me then. I guess I deserve that, but if you're not going to talk then at least listen."

Irritated, I tilt the camera toward my face to once again respond without words.

"I didn't mean to upset you earlier, Em. It's just that... if I would have known that it was your first time, I wouldn't have even let myself get as far as we did, because... I like you, Em, and I don't want to be some guy that you give your virginity up to in the heat of the moment on the beach. If you continue to allow me to get to know you, and it comes to that, I want to make your first time special."

I unmute myself.

"Meet me at the beach in 20..."

And with that, I hang up.
