Falling

Chapter 9- ' More like Mac's girl '

JODY'S POV


Mac didn't inform me on what time was the date. I wandered around my room searching for what to wear. I know I had to look great. After all, am going out with Mac. I found a dress. A simple white dress short at the front and long at the back. It had see through  x's around the waist. So simple and yet so cute.  I laid it across the bed and dialed Mac's number. 

" Hey " I could hear him smiling.

" What time? " 

" Eight " 

" Ok how should I dress? " 

" Like Jody " he laughed then ended the call.

What exactly is ' like Jody' ? I puzzled. I went to the bathroom at 7:13 and took 20 minutes to finish. I made a bang and end it with a messy bun. Nothing exciting, I just wanted to scream SIMPLE! I threw on a necklace that had my name on it. I hopped to mother's room and stole her perfume. Tommy girl. Not too floral and not too seductive. 

I left the 7:47. I knocked on the door and Elena opened the door.  

" Wow! You look great. Plus you smell nice too " she beamed.

" Tommy girl, " I chuckled.

" More like Mac's girl. " She grinned.

I stared at the ground and smiled. " His he ready? "

" Donno. But he's upstairs "

I nodded and headed upstairs. I was about to enter his room when I saw that he was half naked. I quickly dodged to the side, he saw me. 

" I saw you Jody. Its not like i'm naked or something "  

I slowly walked in with my hands glued to me face. 

" What the.... Am I not good looking? " He scoffed. 

" No, its just that you'r um... like that "  

" You look great " 

" Thanks. " 

" I'm finish you can remove your hands now. "

I moved my hands but kept my eyes closed. " Come on open your eyes " he begged. I didn't want to but then I felt his hands around my waist. They flew open on their own.  He smirked. 

" See I knew it would work. I feel like I could die like this " he said chimerical. How cute. He dreams. 
Suddendly I felt something against my behind. 

" Um. Mac. Your. Thing. Is. Uh. Pressing. Against. My butt. "

" I know " He stated obviously. 

" Then move! " 

" Are you sure? " Is he serious?

" Yes! "

" Ok "

He moved but he still wasn't dressed. " Mac what the fuck? " 

" Did you just curse?" 

" Are you hearing impaired? " I answered with a question of my own. 

" Do you normally do it? " 

" Its a long story " I walked to the door, " Please get dress. " Then I left. 



MAC'S POV  

I was having a turn on just by looking at her face. Can you imagine I would do when I look down, then further, then around? I would probably lose control and take her same place. Or maybe I should get drunk and you know make a move. She would know that i'm not in my right mind and wouldn't penalize me for it. Or I could just pretend to be drunk. I have so many choices. 

It took me 15 minutes to leave the room.  My parents were downstairs chatting away with Jody. 

" Oh my God! Ben look at them. We need a picture. " Mom literally jumped 2 feet in the air. 

" Mom can I speak to you please? " 

" Sure " 

" In the kitchen "

" Whats on your mind? "

" Don't take any pictures. I don't know if its going to work out "

" What are you talking about? You too are soo cute together its-" She stopped. " Mac what did you do? "

" Keep it down, " I hushed her. " I maybe might just a little be the reason her friend is in the hospital."

" Your in deep shit " she stated blankly.  

" Vey very deep "

" Then I guess you know what to do? " She asked. I nod. 

" Most definitly. I should go on the date, tell her nothing then we kiss. Then I hypnotize her into forgiving me no matter what I did. Got it! Thanks mom you're the best. " I rambled and stepped off. I only felt my mother's fingers in my skin, and the next you know i'm right back infront of her. 

" What the- I mean. Oww "

" Now you listen to me and listen to me good. You're not going to lose her. I like her and so does your brothers, sister and father. You're going to make things right. You're going to tell the truth and  you are going to keep her. Kapeesh? "

" Yea but suppose it doesn't work and she gets angry and never speak to me again. She's the only girl I ever like like this. It would probably ruin me mom." 

" Well it would be your fault. You shouldn't have done what you did. You don't know, maybe she'll still talk to you. Now get over there and let me take the picture. In the future if you're not with her, i'll show you it again and again and tell you what a lovely girl you let go. " 

" Mom! " 

I felt cold inside. 


JODY'S POV 

Mac took me to a place called ' Bonjour ' I was pretty sure it was french. So am guessing its french food. Oooh how tastey? We went in and I was stunned. 

" Wow " 

" I know right " 

" How did you find it? "

" Trent "  

" Oh, how old is he? " What? He's cute.

" 18. Trust me, you don't want to associate yourselfs with them, take it from me.. "

" Whats that suppose to mean? "

" Let's just say they are not your kind of people " Whats that suppose to mean?

" Uh you are not my type of boyfriend either " 

" But you like me and did you just imply on me being your boyfriend? "

" Maybe and yes i'm getting fond of you " 

" Well... I'll take what I can get. " I chuckled. Then looked at the menu. My eyes shot open. 

" These are expensive, i'll just pay my- "

" No you won't, " he said sternly. " Now choose and eat what you want. I'll pay. " I looked at the menu.

 Hors-d'oeuvres

Plats

Deserts 

Boissons 

Then one thing drew my attention.

Escargots - This is our finest snails perpared with a butter mixture, covered with bread crumbs and baked. 

Oh. My. God. Is this what they eat in France and those french speaking countries? Snails? Eww. Mac saw my face. 

" What? " He asked.

" Snails," I stuttered. " They e-eat snails? " 

He laughed. " Yea its very popular and its quite tastey you should try it " 

" Uh nah. You eat it first, " I paused, " and if you do  I would never kiss you again "

" Thanks for the tip. I was going to but you added the kiss part. Nah. Not giving up a kiss with you for snails. " 

I ordered and we talked about the randomest ( I know, not a word) shits ever.



MAC'S POV

Should I tell her. No! 

Should I tell her. Yes! 

I'm so confuse. Maybe she will understand that I had to put her friend in the hospital. Well.... 
Or not. I'm goin to tell her. 

" Jody "

" Yeah? " 
Oh shit I can't do this. 

" You ready? " 

" Oh yeah lets go " 

This is way harder than I thought. The first girl to ever have me like this. I feel like a pussy and thats not my thing. Am going in.  I told her. 

" What the fuck Mac! " she shouted. Angrily. 

" I'm sorry. He was in the way. " I pulled my chair closer to hers. 

" Of? " She raised her eyebrows. 

I swallowed, " Us " She softened a little. 

" Mac, " She whispered, " I'm still upset. " 

" I did it so that he could stay away. Not bother us. Didn't come between us. Jody I really like you and I think its moving from that. I don't understand why this only happens when i'm with you. I need you. Please. I wanna see if we're on the same page, do you love me? " I asked staring into her eyes. She didn't answer. I shoved the chair back and got up. " Thats what I thought " I stopped at the door, " Bye Jody." 

It was at that time when I realized i've done too much. The only possible step was to leave her alone. I was hurt. This was a new feeling. Its not like am giving up, and it was not like I shouldn't have tried. Its just that its time for me to draw the line of determination from desperation. What is truly mine will eventually be and what is not, seems as if no matter how hard I try, will never be.  I don't want to give up on us, but its hard to wait. Its even harder to regret. I guess I should just live. Do my thing.

I walked home. I had no ride and I wasn't going to ask that bitch for a ride. I feel bad calling her that but thats the nicest name I could find. Right now. I will never forget about her. Even if I wanted to. But i'll never forget what she did to me. Ruined me. My first really intimate experience. I remember when I first started falling for her. It was the first time I actually saw her in school. It wasn't her fault not answering, it was just my fault expecting her to. Expect nothing and you'll never be disappointed. Why am I suddendly feeling sentimental?
