The Unfortunate Girl

Chapter 11

It's the middle of the night and I am sneaking back through my bedroom window. It's Sunday and Dakota thought it would be a great idea to go ride a roller coaster. I know, lucky for us there was one theme park still open at two in the morning. It just so happened to be three hours away. 

If it would have been up to me I would have been okay with just staying home but no, Dakota says that since my birthday is exactly a week away from today, that I have to do something breath taking every night until I'm eighteen. Crazy, that boy is.

I know it sounds stupid but just being around him is breath taking. I can't tell him that though. I would die from embarrassment, besides he might think I'm a creep.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that Dakota doesn't care for me, because I know he does, sincerely. On a romantic note though we haven't so much as hugged since we feel asleep cuddling after our argument.

I'm not complaining by any means so don't get me wrong, any time spent with him, if it be kissing, laughing, or even sleeping is a blessing that I wouldn't trade anything for. And it's not that we are still arguing or anything it's just our time together is spent enjoying each others company other than getting it on like a bunch of sexed crazed teenagers.

As soon as I get through my window I take my clothes off and put on a nighty. I'm tired. Tomorrow is a busy day, school, then work, then clean the house, and then pack dads stuff for his annual work retreat that's four days long. Yeah you heard that right I'll have four days with out satin.

As for now, however, I lay down and go to sleep before he hears me and beats me for sneaking out. God I can only imagine how bad that one would be.

Tonight was definitely one for the books. After LilyAnn got off work I was taking her home and she told me she had never been on a roller coaster. This really surprised me because this is Alabama, there are theme parks every where you turn.

Just watching the excitement in her face I knew that tonight she would ride one for the first time, even if I have to go all the way to Canada.

I dropped LilyAnn off at her house and watched her walk through the door. As soon as I seen she was in side I sped home and started looking up carnivals that were close to me and still open.

I only found one and it was three hours away, but she is worth it. She's worth anything.

By then I was excited. I wanted to be the one to show her, her first everything. I grabbed a blanket just encase she got cold and headed out the door.

I ran all the way to her house and climbed up the tree to her room. I feel like I'm in high school again.

When I reach her window though, I see her in just a towel.

God, she is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my entire life.

I'm such a creep. She's underage. Only four years, so it's not illegal, but it's still wrong of me to think of her the way I do. To think the things I want to do to her...

Let me stop myself right there. She deserves better. I owe her all the respect in the world.

I lightly peck on the window and she jumps. When she sees that it is me she wraps her towel around her tighter. It's a good thing to because not just my imagination is expanding.

She walks over and lifts the window with one hand while the other is holding her towel up. I don't receive the expected mad face for creeping on her half naked, instead I get one of her award winning smiles.
