"I haven't told much people that," I say and his eyes locks onto mine.
The feeling in my stomach is unexplainable, I've never felt anything like it until he's close to me, until his arms around me or his lips are on mine.
"Did you tell the police?" He questions and I shake my head, the feeling of disappointment overtakes the feeling in my stomach as I realise I never got justice for fifteen year old me.
"He had a scholarship, his life was set for him, I didn't want to ruin that," I admit causing him to grow confused.
"You don't blame yourself for what happened right? Because he ruined his future the second he forced himself on you," he states.
"I know it's just, I was too scared, I only ever told my aunts then my sister and the girls after I felt I could trust them, now I know I can trust you, I told you," I say, gazing at his expression every few seconds.
He holds me softly and continues playing my fingers, he runs his thumb over each of my fingers as he looks down at me.
"He was someone you trusted," he mumbled and I turned over to him before burying my hands in his hair.
"Was," I mutter, his eyes fail to meet mine for once and I turn his head to meet mine.
"I want to move on from it, I can't have it holding me back anymore," I tell him causing him to nod.
I stand up from sitting on his lap, and he follows behind me, he takes his phone out of his pocket and I chuckle as he goes into the music app.
"What are you doing?" I question as he places his phone onto the top of the slide, the music echoes through the slide and just the I heard the sound.
"Easily By Bruno Major" but it was slowed.
"Is this your love confession to me?" I joke, causing him to smile before pulling me closer to him.
"Maybe," he mutters, wrapping his arm wraps around my waist as he holds my hand up.
"I don't know how to dance," I say and he chuckles.
"Just follow my lead,"
He pulls me closer against him colliding our bodies, I place my hand on his shoulder as he sways us side to side to the beat.
I accidentally step on his feet and I laugh way louder than I should have, causing him to chuckle.
"This is ridiculous," I say as he twirls me around, he pulls me back in placing his hands the same place they were before.
"But you're having fun," he smiles and I nod.
As the song ends he picks up his phone and stops the music.
"Thank god I decided to wear sneakers with this dress," I state causing him to chuckle, he places the phone into his pocket.
His eyes roam my body before looking into my eyes, "You look beautiful," he speaks.
"But it's around 10:30 so I have to get you home," he says and I nod.

The next morning was Saturday, finally a day where I could sleep in, the feeling of my soft cotton sheet feels like wool again my cheek.
The fresh scent of the fabric softener made the experience more thrilling.
Just then my sister bursts into my room yelling, which forces me to place my pillow over my head to cover my ears.
"You've got to be kidding me Lexi," I groan and she flops onto my bed.
"So how was your date?" She questions.
I remove the pillow from my head and send it flying her direction, she catches it and tosses it to the side.
"How was it?" She questions, curiosity lingering in her eyes as she looks at me like a five year old waiting for an answer.
"It wasn't a date," I state sleepishly, as I sit up on the bed,rubbing my eyes.
"What'd he say when you told him?" She groans and I chuckle.
"Nothing really, he didn't want to make me uncomfortable about telling him,so he didn'tsay much" I mumble, as I get out of the bed.
The cold floor hits my feet immediately sending chills through my body.
"We got icecream, walked to the park, talked, he played a song, we danced to it, and that's really about it," I tell her before walking into the bathroom.
"Sooo, he didn't ask you to be his girlfriend?" She questions which causes me to stop and look at her.
"No he didn't now let me get ready since you woke me up," I say closing the door.
After doing my morning routine I dress into some legging and oversized graphic t shirt.
I grab one of my favourite books and head downstairs where my dad is cooking some breakfast.
"Morning Dad," I say.
"Morning sweetie," He says flipping the pancakes.
"Have you seen my glasses? I don't plan on wearing my contacts today," I babble causing him to chuckle.
"It's on the table," he answers, I make my way over to the table before flopping onto the couch.
I put on my glasses before opening the book to page 107 and begin to read the fine words written on the page.
After a couple of minutes, my dad finished cooking and placed my plate in front of me on the coffee table.
"Thanks," I mutter before placing a bacon in my mouth.
Just then the door bell rings, "I'll get it," I say my voice muffled by the bacon hanging out my mouth.
Thinking it's the mailman or newspaper guy, I head over to the door before turning the handle,as I open the door.
A tall figure blocks the view of the sun, hovering above me, "Goodmorning," he speaks.
"Don't you look cute," he chuckles causing me to roll my eyes.
