I can let you go and still love you - Skye Miller
Every day after practice, Mr. Eric and Celise would take me driving for a few hours before dropping me off at home. We didn't have plans to go out on Friday because there was no game, so on Thursday at my front door, Celise rested her cheek against mine and whispered peacefully into my left ear, "I can't do lunch tomorrow. Meet me at my hideout. Ten o'clock." She kissed me.
I couldn't wait to see her again.
I got home around eleven every night after spending time with Celise and her father. Most nights, my mom was already asleep, but this time, she stayed up.
I walked in and she didn't seem very happy. "Where have you been this week?"
"You talked with Mr. Eric. We've been getting hours on my permit." I responded.
"I never said you could be out that late. I expect that I don't have to call you when you're supposed to be here five minutes before eight. I need you around here."
"I'm sorry, mom."
I was sorry, but I didn't listen. I wanted Celise to be my priority. My mom would call me, but I would spend every second I could with Celise. My mom would kill me if she knew I was out after curfew without an adult, but if Celise was gonna go somewhere, I was gonna be the one to walk her there. That's the kind of boyfriend I wanted to be.
It was Friday and I couldn't think of any way to pass the time without feeling relaxed and patient. I knew it was serious when she whispered it in my ear. I decided to push myself that day and have something to care about. Calculus was the only class that I actually put hours into, but it was time for me to have a good day. Every class I went to that day went great and I felt really productive for once. It worked, too. Time passed really quickly if I tried to think about my work instead of Celise, which sounds bad, but I was still eager to see her. That's why.
The next problem was that I had just over seven hours between school and our meetup (We didn't have practice that Friday) to figure out how to pass more time. I watched The Lord of the Rings movies while doing Calculus at the same time. This only kind of worked since I had three hours of Calculus and movies never pass time, no matter how good they are. I even decided to do a bit of research on the name 'Celise' and it's an American baby name meaning 'cotton tailed bunny rabbit'.
Celise's hideout was a little out of town, so that gave me thirty minutes the ride my old bike over there. It was a BMX, but for that reason, it went fast. It was hard to do, but it went fast.
Once I left, it was 9:35P.M. Dark and cold. I rode my bike on the sidewalk since the yellow street lights never ceased to amaze me and because technically it was illegal to ride a bike on the road at night with no lights.
I had a pair of black, skinny jeans and a thin, long sleeve shirt on with an even thinner, red hoodie.
The only thing I could think about was her soft arms, soft cheeks, and soft lips. And her smile made me cry. For once, I had some time to think more about how lucky I was. I started off thinking, 'She'll probably never talk to me', while at the same time wanting to kiss her and feel her teeth. That started off as a fantasy and it came true. I never wanted to lose something like that.
It was 9:52 when I made it to Celise's hideout. I went around back again. I was scared that she wasn't gonna be there and I was supposed to come at an earlier time. I knocked on the door.
A good half minute later, Celise opened the door. She was wearing a women's fleur tank top, nothing underneath. She was wearing spankies, but they looked more bed-time rather than sports-time.
