Chapter22: The First

"Hey beautiful,"I heard Jake's voice from behind me.

I turned around.
"Hey,"I said with a smile on my face.

Why does he always make me feel butterflies in my stomach.
Maria was dancing up to us with two red solo cups in her hands.

"Here you guys go,"she handed us the cups.

I took a sip of the red punch and got a mouth full of rum.
Caught by surprised when I tried to swallow it it didn't go down right. I started shocking and coughing hard as Jake and Maria we're patting my back.

"Im good, "I said collecting myself.

Maria leaned in I could tell she had a couple cups of punch.
"Antonio spiked the punch.."She put her finger on her lip.

"Shh..
We started laughing as Finesse by Bruno Mars started playing everybody started dancing and singing along. Maria was dancing with Antonio while Jake and were dancing pretty close too.

"Church girl can dance," he said chuckling.

"Thats a label not me,"I laughed.

He wrapped his arms around my waist
"Who are you then?" he asked.

I could smell his cologne as I was in his embrace.
Until a teacher came up and told us no PDA.

After the teacher left I saw Brandon standing on the other side of the cafeteria he was looking at me I looked away.
I pulled out my phone and checked the time it was 10 pm the dance would be over in thirty minutes.

Maria and Antonio walked up to us.
"Hey, are you guys going to the after party with us?"She asked.

I shook my head.
"I got a to be home by eleven,"I told her.

"Yea or your dad will come after me,"Jake added.

We both started laughing. Then he leaned over to me.

"You want to leave now?" Jake whispered in my ear.

I looked at him and thought about it
I didn't have to be home until eleven and I did want to hang out with Jake.

"Sure I said.
Maria looked at us and smiled.

"Well, I'll see you later girl,"she said walking off hand and hand with Antonio.

Jake and I started walking off to the door he put his arm around me.
As we were walking out I off to the side I seen Brittney and Katy sitting at a table off to the side.

I felt the daggers her eyes we're throwing at me.
She most still be upset about not winning homecoming queen.

"Are you alright?"

Jake asked pulling me closer to him.

"Nothing just taking everything in,"I said.

We continued walking through the parking lot until we got to his car we got in and pulled out of the parking lot.
We were sitting in front of my house with only a few minutes to spare.
Music from the radio was playing as we both just sat there.

"Well here we are, Jake, said shyly.

"Yea I said nodding my head and giving a awkward grin.

He moved his hand toward mine and held it.
"Monica you don't have to feel nervous around me," he said looking into my eyes.

Even in the darkness of the car his blue eyes still stood out.

"I really like you, Monica, he told me.

"I really like you too," I said to him

He really was a nice guy and I didn't want to worry him with my background with his best friend.
I happen to look at the radio the time was 11:58.

Jake also looked at the clock then at me.

"Can I walk you to the door,"he asked with a grin on his face.

"Yea I smiled as we got out and he held my hand as we walked to the door.

We stood infront each other.
"I had a good time,"I said.

"Im glad you did and again congrats Queen."

I found myself leaning in to kiss him but I stopped myself.
He looked at me.

"I never did this before I told him.

"Never did what?"

"I have never been in a relationship before."

"Can I be your first?" he asked.

"Yes, "I said as our lips met and I kissed him.
