LYDIA HUDSON

"we have to get you ready for your date." mia sings and I purse my lips together, looking at myself in the mirror. "it's not a date, mia." I confirm and she rolls her eyes, "whatever you say."

"it's not." I say between laughs and she just refuses to believe me. she grabs a maroon criss-cross strappy crop top and a pair of black high waisted distressed shorts, handing them to me and pushing me into the bathroom, telling me to change.

I get changed and step out of the bathroom, sitting down on the stool that was sitting by my desk in my room. mia was going to do my makeup while taylor did my hair. I don't understand why they were trying to fancy me up, we're going to a damn park anyways.

taylor just straightens my hair and leaves it at that, while mia was almost done with my makeup. she just went for a natural look, and when we were done my phone dinged with a notification.

I pick it up and see a text from ethan pop up on the screen.

3:12 p.m
ethan: hey lyd
ethan: are we still hanging out today

my cheeks heat up at the nickname he had called me.

3:13 p.m
lydia: lyd?
lydia: and yes we are.

3:17 p.m
ethan: sorry i was driving, but i hope you don't mind that. i usually call people i like nicknames.

I hear taylor giggle and I see her reading the texts between ethan and I.

3:18 p.m
lydia: you like me? 😂

3:20 p.m
ethan: i'll see you later lyd 😘

"he's so into you, oh my gosh." taylor yells and excitedly hugs mia.

I decide to leave two minutes later in order to get there in time, since rose crest park was an abandoned park in the woods that were by the old elementary school that taylor and I went to.

I found it weird that I was meeting ethan at an abandoned park, but I trust that he won't do anything. after all, i've heard that it's a hookup place for a bunch of middle schoolers, since it has a ferris wheel. I always wondered why that park had a ferris wheel.

I roll my eyes at the thought, I remember being a stupid middle schooler, I had a boyfriend, his name was grayson and I thought we were gonna be together forever.

he was an odd kid though, when we went into high school and I asked if I could meet his family, since we had been together for two years at that point, he always agreed but then would come up with excuses on why I couldn't meet them.

I didn't quite understand, he had met my parents but yet, I couldn't meet his. he never allowed me inside his house and was always so secretive about his family. I didn't even know if he had siblings, cause he never opened up to me about them. I ended up breaking up with him because I saw him kissing another girl at prom two years later.

I never understood how we ended up being together for four years, with him being such a secretive person.

I push my thoughts all the way to the back of my head as I weave through trees and once I finally reach a clearing with the abandoned park I see ethan sitting down on one of the rusty swings.

I smile as I walk up behind him and scare him. he jumps a little and his head snaps in my direction as I carefully sit down on the swing next to him. "you scared me, holy shit." he says between laughs while his hand is rested on his chest.

I giggle and we get off the swings and mess around for a while, running around and such, playing tag and going down the slide.

at one point, I was sitting on top of the slide and I heard a twig snap, making my head turn to the direction it came from and I saw two figures walking towards the park. ethan must've noticed it to cause he told me to slide down to him at the end of the slide.

"I have an idea to make them go away, but I don't know if you'd be down for it." he whispers as I stay at the end of the slide. "what?" I look up at him and his eyes move from me to the people coming.

"just go along with it." he mumbles and I furrow my eyebrows, but when they step out into the clearing ethan is quick to lean down and press his lips against mine. i'm surprised at first but then I kiss him back, moving my hands to behind his head and pushing his head closer to me, trying to deepen the kiss.

his lips detach themselves from mine and move down towards my neck, kissing down my neck and onto my collar bone. I let out a moan and my eyes slickly look at the teenage couple and see them look at us and then at each other before turning around and leaving.

I nudge ethan and the warmth of his lips leave my neck and I nod my head in the direction of the teenagers. when he notices they're gone, his cheeks get rosy.

"i'm sorry, it's the only idea that popped up into my head at the moment. I understand if you want to leave cause I made you uncomfortable." he rambles on and I roll my eyes playfully, grabbing the back of his head, pushing him down, making his lips meet mine once again.

he pulls back with a smile and he rests his forehead against mine. "that's one way to shut someone up." he chuckles and i'm tempted to kiss him again, due to how close our lips were still to each other. as if on cue, his lips attach to mine one more time, the same sparks going off everytime.
