It has been a while now. I met a boy... James. He is sweet, caring and much more. We are not in a relationship, yet, just hanging out.
'So you want to grab a coffee after school?' James asks.
'Sure.'
'Great, I'll wait for you in front of the school.'
'Okay.' We hug each other and walk to our last class of the day.
I have been waiting for James for fifteen minutes, about that time I decide I already waited too long for him. I start walking away when he finally comes.
'Claire wait!' He yells. 'I'm sorry I let you wait for so long...'
'Yeah... why did you. I waited for fifteen minutes.'
'I needed to deal with... something.'
'There was a pause between with and something. What do you need to tell me?'
'Ezra...'
'Stop. I don't want to talk about him. He scares me.'
'What I was going to say, Ezra, he saw us hugging. He came to me, he made me clear that if I would hug you one more time...'
'He would do something to you?'
'Yes.'
'Oh come on, since when are you scared for Ezra?'
'He sounded pretty serious Claire.'
'James... Ezra is just still mad that I broke up with him.'
'Yeah... Right.'
'James, please. Can we please get that coffee?'
'I don't know if it's that smart to do that.'
'James, listen, Ezra is just jealous. We can go for coffee okay.'
'If you say so.' My hand reaches out for his and hand in hand we walk away.
'Here is your coffee.' The waitress gives us our coffees to go.
'Thank you.' I smile at her. We walk over the road to a small park.
'What is it that we have?' James asks.
'I don't know. What do you want it to be?'
'I don't know, you?'
'Maybe more then just two friends hanging out?'
'You had that thought too?'
'Yes.' I say laughing.
'So you and Ezra is like, over?'
'Yes, for almost three months.'
'That means it wouldn't be a problem to do this?' He leans in and I feel his lips softly on my lips. I answer by pulling him closer to me. The kiss gets more intense, it's only him and me in the world at that moment. It doesn't seem to end, not that I want too, it's amazing.
'Not a problem at all.' I answer when he stops kissing. I smile at him.
'So I could do it anytime I want?'
'Oh yes you could. But only if it's amazing.'
'I will make sure of that.'
'Great.' We laugh and walk our way through the park, we stop at my house. We kiss again, it wasn't that long as our first kiss. But it was amazing.
'Bye.' He whispers in my ear.
'Bye.' I say back. He turns around and walks away. On his way to his house. This afternoon was amazing, I just can't stop smiling.
