Your Nerd

Chapter 6

"Happy one year!!" Dany squealed as I rounded the sidewalk on the way to her house.

            "Oh hi, babe. Happy one year to you too. Can you believe that we'll be seniors?" I said, wrapping my arms around her waist.

            "I swear, eleventh grade went by so fast, so fast," She giggled, kissing my cheek. "It went way too fast."

            I smiled and stopped us. I took her face in my hands and tilted her head back. She giggled as I planted my lips against her neck. I grinned as I felt the vibrations of her throat. Her fingers gripped my arms and I trailed kisses up towards her ear as she shivered under my touch. Before I could get to her lips, a sharp cough sounded behind us and I spun around to find Dany's father standing there with an unsatisfied expression.

            "Melvin."

            "H-Hello Mr. Hansen, how are you?"

            "I was good." He then ushered Dany towards him and murmured something into her ear. She nodded but didn't look very happy afterwards. "Goodbye, Melvin. See you later, honey."

            "Bye."

            "Bye, dad!"

            I waited until he walked back inside the house and took Dany back into my arms.

            "What the hell did he say to you?"

            "He's knows it's our one-year anniversary." Her face turned red.

            "Okay, and why is that an issue?"

            "Well... god, do I have to spell it out?"

            "I'm not following."

            She scoffed and pushed out of my embrace. "He told me not to have sex with you tonight."

            My eyes widened and I looked towards her house where her father was staring at us through the window.

            "Um... uh..."

            "He thinks we won't because I nodded and agreed with him, but he's naive, it's our one-year anniversary, obviously we're going to do it."

            My mind was all over the place; I could feel my palms already starting to sweat and my heart felt like it was about to leap out of my chest.

            "Mel, are you okay?"

            "What if we listen to your dad. I would rather not die."

            "He won't find out. God, man up."

            Man up. Man up. I'm a man. Yeah. She's my girl and I'm a man. Sex is inevitable between us.

            "Okay, tonight...My place? My parents work."

            "Great idea," She smiled, grabbing my face and pecking my cheek.

            I tried to smile, but I couldn't move the muscles on my face.

            "I know we should be spending the day together, but I'm going to go get ready. I want to be perfect for you."

            "It's only eleven!"

            "I need all afternoon!" She yelled as she ran into her house.

            I clutched my chest after she left and tried to catch my breath. She wanted to. She thought I wanted to. I wanted to, right? We had come close several times over the past year, but I had always told her that we should wait. I don't know what I was waiting for, but I was waiting, nonetheless. She would always groan and tell me I was being a wimp, but I just couldn't give her what she wanted. Tonight, would be different though. Tonight, I would give myself to her. She would be mine and I would be hers.
