He walked me back to my house and I offered for him to come in. He politely declined, but as I went inside, he just watched. I went to my bedroom and sat down. I plugged in my phone and texted my best friends, Madelaine and Silvia, what just happened.

"You little slut" Madelaine joked.

"Was he hot?" Silvia asked.

"Thanks Maddie and totally Silviee" I responded. We talked for a little while until it was late. It was about 11:30 and my family was asleep. I was still listening to music laying on my bed. I heard a knock on my window. I opened the shades to reveal a cute boy staring back at me. I opened my window and he smiled.

"Can I help you with something?" I asked with a smile.

"Come with me" Bo responded.

"What?" I was confused.

"Come take a walk with me"

"It's almost midnight, and you want me to take a walk with you?"

"Yeah. How are you not getting this?"

I rolled my eyes at him. "You're insane. But give me a minute to get changed". I closed the shades and grabbed some clothes. I pulled them on, and ran a brush through my hair. I locked my door incase my parents wanted to come in.

I reopened the shades and pushed out the screen.

"What are you doing?" Bo asked, seeming shocked.

"I can't wake my family up, and I defiantly can't go walk to a door, so I'm climbing out my window" I said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. I climbed out the window and he helped me out the other side.

"So where are we going?" I asked.

"It's a surprise" he smiled.

"You know" I paused catching my breath, "I hate surprises".

"I think you'll love this one" his smile was contagious. I silently agreed as we walked, who knows where. He stopped at this beautiful yellow house.

"Wow" the words practically fell from my lips.

"This is where I'm staying for the summer" he said "lets go inside".

"Isn't your family sleeping?" I asked.

"It's only 11:45, why would they be sleeping?" he retorted. Does my family go to bed that early? "Your family sleeps really early" he added. Get out of my head Bo.

"So why did we walk to your house?" I questioned him.

"So I could show you something" he whispered in my ear. I swallowed hard at the thought of it. We walked into his house and we walked to his room. I took a seat next to him on his bed, and he took my hands into his.

"I want to show you something" he said quietly, yet seriously.

"Okay" I said, just as seriously. He walked over to his piano.

"This ones for you" he smirked, and I blushed. "It's called 'Love Is'".

"I love you like kings love queens,

Like a gay geneticist loves designer jeans,

I need you like New Orleans needs a drought,

Like Hitler's Father needed to learn to pull out, " I laughed at that one, an he smiled.

"And I want you, yeah, like a Lawyer/Mathematician wants some kind of proof,

And I want you, yeah, like JFK wanted a car with a roof,
