Another Hidden Secret

Chapter 11

I'm sitting on my bed listening to music when I fell my bed dip. I take off my headphones and look up to see Ximena with wet hair and a wide smile.

"Hi" I smile as I sit up.

I noticed the House was unusually quiet.

"Where's everyone." I ask

"Well we are the only single ones in the house , except Poppy she went to see when we can see my parents." She beams. Ximena noticed me lookin at her beautiful wet hair. "I just got done washing my hair , you have really good shampoo."

I playfully roll my eyes. "Still can't believe everyone's gone, first time in what feels like forever."

"Wanna go out." She asks nervously.

"Like a date." I ask as I play with her wet hair.

"If you want it to be." She grabs my hand that was recently in her hair.

After we got ready we left in Ximena's car.

"So where are we going."

She looks over at me and smiles.

"It's hard to explain. But I promise you'll like it...i hope."

After about five minutes we pull up to a house.

" who's house is this." I ask as I get out the car.

"My aunts , she's a doctor so she's not home yet."

" so how do we get in."

Her smile got wider as she grabbed my hand and pull me to the back of the house. There was a pretty treehouse that had paintings all over it.

"Poppy and I made this when we was younger." She looks at me "wanna go inside"

I nod and lead the way up the well-built ladder. Once we get installed I walk around.

"You said you and poppy built this."

She chuckles "well we helped my aunt actually paid someone to help us. She felt bad." Ximena. I put down the picture I was looking at and turned to her.

"What did she feel bad about."

"Well I went to a school where there was a lot a racist people and they would try to bully me. I never really got mad until they started picking on poppy."

"You know that you're just as American as anyone else."

"I do." She smiles gently "enough about that , this is supposed to be fun so let's paint."

We go to the very back of the house to paint.

___________

As we are painting she decided to flick some paint at me. I gasp as the cold blue paint spills on my head.

"Ximena!" I scream.

"I'm sorry." She says half heartedly while laughing.

After a couple of minutes she flicks pink and purple paint at me.

I get up and pour the same purple paint over her head.

"Callie I didn't do that much." She complains as she wipe paint out of her face.

We began to have a paint fight until the both of us are covered in paint.

"We look like we just took a shower in a rainbow." She says looking down at herself.

I giggle as I stand up. I notice that she got weirdly nervous.

"What's wrong." I frowned

"Callie will you be my girlfriend,
I know that you don't want to be in a relationship and if you say no than I'll totally underst-"

I kiss her to cut off her rambling.

She backs me up into a wall with her hands on both sides of my head. We continue to kiss not caring about the weird taste of pink , purple , and blue paint that cover our faces.

"So is that a yes." She asks breaking the kiss.

I nod before reconnecting our lips.

_______

" Ximena this has been the best date ever.  Thank you."

" that's a relief to hear , I thought you was gonna be mad about the paint."

We were still covered in paint , right now we are on our way home.

"No it was really fun. Most definitely the best date I've ever went on. All of my other date was either boring or ended badly."

"Well I'm happy to be your first best date." She jokes with a smile.

"You're also my first girlfriend."

"Thank god I got paint on my face." She said lowly.

"Aww little baby is blushing." I teased , rubbing my hand on the side of her face. She moves my hand from her face and change the subject.

"Okay we are here. Looks like everyone is home."

_____

We walk inside to see everyone in the living room.

"What happened to you guys." Mama said causing everyone to look at us.

"Paint fight." Ximena answered

"Well go wash off and get ready for dinner." Mom said.

We start to walk but mama stops us.

"Shoes off."

_____

I let my girlfriend go first and I start to take off my jacket.

"So you and Ximena." Mariana comes in the room and sits on my bed.

"Are now dating so please don't ask about Aaron again around her."

"Okay I won't talk about you know who, but I'm happy for you. You guys make a cute couple."

"Who make a good couple. Callie and my sister." Poppy asked making her way by Mariana.

"She told you."  I ask

"No but I can see it. Plus she never stops talking about you."

"Listen poppy I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I didn't know if she wanted me to."

"It's cool just don't break her heart , I don't think she can handle to much of those."

"I would never intentionally hurt her or you."

"I know."
