I got up. I could hear my mom yelling downstairs. The only words I could clearly makeout were client, win, and lose. I rolled my eyes. If she has to work at 8 in the morning on a saturday she can do it outside. I swear she does this just to piss me off. I decided to put my mother off my mind and get ready for my day with Jonah. Even the thought of him made me smile, but it also made me want to throw up. I've known Jonah since I was a kid and never was I ever nervous about hanging out with him Things are so different now. In both our lives. It just seems like we're growing apart and that thought makes me want to cry.
I got up from my bed and picked out the perfect outfit. I didn't know where we were going so I didn't want to over dress or under dress. I figured jeans and a nice shirt will do. I looked up at the mirror and was instantly disgusted. My eyes looked so tired, my hair was straight and boring and my lips were plain. At least none of those were problems a little makeup couldn't solve. I tried to finish doing my makeup as fast as I could.
I ran downstairs trying avoid my narotic mother. My dad was definitely my favorite parent but he was never home. I ran to the door and sat on the front porch. It was so unbelievably sunny. Ninety-four degrees and not a cloud in the sky. The U.V rays were slowly killing me.
"Is Jonah here yet?" my mom said.
"No, not yet." I said.
"He was supposed to be here fifteen minutes ago. Honey, I know you love him, but this can't keep happening." She said.
"Mom, I know." I yelled. I didn't mean to take out my anger on her. I was just pissed at Jonah. I told him to be here at three. It's three twenty right now. I'm so sick of all the stupid excuses. I know everyone has their own lives, but a commitment is a commitment, and if you make it you should be able to keep it. I heard a car noise and looked up. To my surprise it wasn't Jonah.
"Hey. What are you doing out here? It's way too hot to be outside." Said Eddie.
"Hey. I'm waiting for Jonah, who's late." I said.
"Do you need a ride?" Eddie asked.
Not really. We were just going to go get food." I said.
"It's cool, we can go, get in." he said.
I got in. I know I should've probably waited for Jonah but I didn't care at this point.
"So, are you going to tell me what's wrong?" asked Eddie.
"You're asking me if I'm going to tell you about my boyfriend problems? I've only known you for like four days. I don't think we're that close yet." I said.
"Well, I think this is how we get close." He replied.
"True. Okay. I'll tell you. Jonah and I were supposed to hang out today, but he bailed." I said.
"Maybe something important came up." He said.
"I am the most understanding person on earth. I would totally be okay with it if this was the first or second time something like this has happened, but it's not." I sighed.
"Oh, so this has been going on for a while?" He asked.
"Yeah." I answered.
"I thought I got some weird vibes during movie night. I'm sure you guys will figure it out. I don't really know you that well, but you seem like a really nice girl and you're insanely pretty. Any guy would be an idiot to let you go." He said.
"You like it kinky?" I said as I held up a pair of rubber gloves that I found in the car.
"Oh. I. Uh" he stuttered.
"Hey, no judgement from me. I'll let you in on a little secret; Jonah does too." I said.
"If Jonah likes it kinky and you're dating Jonah, then you must like it kinky too." he smirked.
"Too far buddy.." I said smiling
"Well you and Jonah seem pretty open about your personal lives." He said.
"Meaning?." I questioned.
"The joke Jonah made about your 'first time'; I just figured if you were okay with him saying that in front of ten people then you weren't very secretive about it." He said.
"Well, I've known those ten people for almost 6 years. It's nothing none of them didn't know. I don't walk around telling strangers about my and Jonah's sex life though." I said.
"Meaning you guys have one?" He asked..
"We're almost seniors in highschool and we're not prude. Also, we've been dating for five years, almost six." I snapped.
"Hey. No judgment from me." he laughed.
"What about you? Girls?" I said.
"None. Never had a serious relationship." He said.
"Lies. You're hot and straight. A girl would jump your bones the first chance she gets." I said.
"I've never said I haven't done anything with a girl. I just haven't had a serious girlfriend." He said.
"So you have done stuff?" I questioned.
"About as much as you." he said.
"How do you know what I've done?" I asked.
"Well. You're not a virgin and I really hope you guys didn't jump straight to having sex." He said.
"No. We did towards the end of sophomore year." I said.
"I figured you didn't spend six years of your relationship just staring into each other's eyes." He said.
"I guess we have done everything." I said.
"So you were all his firsts?" He asked.
"No. For most. Actually all but one." I said.
"Too far again?" He asked sweetly.
"Just a little." I said while laughing. I looked out the window and saw that we were here. I got out of the car and made sure I had enough money. I looked over at Eddie and couldn't help but smile. He was just so sweet and cute.
I opened the door and could smell the freshly baked pastries. It made me tingle. I walked up to the cash register to order my food when...
"Mira?" I heard a voice call.
I could've recognized that voice anywhere. "Jonah, what are you doing here?" I yelled angrily.
