My First Love

Going Away

So Austin has been texting and hanging out with me a lot lately. And it sorta feels good to have someone that I can talk to you know?

About two weeks ago Austin invited me to go with him to stay at his big sisters house in flagstaff for Spring Break and I couldn't refuse. He is one thing that really brings me happiness.

I have packed and un-packed and re-packed for days and I finally think I have what I need. Austin doesn't Judge me on what I wear and I don't care what I wear so I just chose anything. We are leaving in two hours gives me enough time to take a shower and maybe play some of my guitar.

Austin and I have been learning how together online. Yea we do pretty much everything together. Even if we are just sitting on the couch watching TV.

*The Car Ride To Flagstaff*

His mom is driving and we are sitting in the back seat.

"Gem are you tired?"

"Kinda but I don't want to sleep."

"Okay then!"

There was a silence for about five minutes it was not awkward it was just silent.

"What are we going to do when we get there? And when are we going to get there?"

"I have no idea when we are going to get there and when we get there I don't really know it gets really boring that's why I invited you. Ha"

"Oh wow! So I am just coming so you don't get board." I said with an I am shocked face.

"Well when you put it that way it sounds like I am using you. Even though it is true I like to think of it as. I want to spend some time with my best friend!"

"Okay you are forgiven."

"Yesss!!!"

"Ha you are suck a dork."

He is seriously like my boyfriend but we don't belong to each other. He is the only thing that brings me actual joy and I like it. He promised he would never leave me and I am starting to believe him there really has never been anyone else in my life that spends this much time with me and not start to hate me for bringing them down.

"MOM STOP!!!" That was sudden and he made me jump!

"Why???"

"I want Gem to see this"

See what? He is blocking my view on his side. He opened the door and helped me out I was wearing a pair of white skinny jeans and a black tank top. I got out and he was holding my hand and the wind blew in my wavy brown hair it felt so good.

I looked at Austin and he was smiling at me.

"Are you like experiencing wind for the first time?"

"Ha. No. But it feels really nice going through my hair so shut it." He just giggled.

"Oh. My. God."

There was beautiful mountains that spread for miles! It was perfect weather. And most of all It was dead silent which made my shoulder's relax.

Austin came in back of me and hugged my waist and setting his head on my shoulder.

"Isn't it beautiful Austin?"

"Ha yea it is. But you are more beautiful."

He just called me beautiful. He has called me funny, nice, smart. But never called me beautiful. What do I say back?

"Thanks" I turned my head to the side whispering into his ear.

He turned my waist towards his body so we were now face to face. Out of no where a gush of wind came and blew my hair right into my face.

"Um... I think I lost you" Austin whispered and I laughed.

He pulled my hair out of my face I could now see his perfectly even toned skin his pimples are gone. His beautiful eyes stared into my soul and he shaped his hands to fit around my face. Oh my god is he going to kiss me?

"Are you going to kiss me?"

All he did was smile and not even two seconds later our lips were gently touching. It wasn't much but it definitely caught me off guard. It felt like we were the only people in the whole world. Like we are just frozen in time.

We both realized that his mom was still in the car and she was looking at us. Now that was awkward.

"We should go..."He whispered into my ear.

"Okay." We both smiled. And headed back to the car.

We were holding hands in the car.

Our hands were getting sweaty and I said "Ha sweaty"

I never thought he would respond the way he did. It was romantic.

He said "It's worth it" He looked at me and I looked at him we both had big smiles on our faces.

Are we dating?
