I Love You

Chapter 6

After winning air hockey twice, we moved onto the other games, and at the moment, I was watching Autumn play on a pinball machine. "I used to come here when I was little and play this game all the time. All I have ever wanted to do was get close to my dad's score." I smiled, and with some unknown confidence, I moved behind her and wrapped my arms around her stomach. I heard her breath hitch from the unexpected contact, "Your dad has the high score?" She shook out of wherever she was at and nodded, "T-that score you see there, " she pointed at the high score bar, "was my d-dad's." She coughed, trying to get her voice clear. I felt her arms tense and release from continually hitting the pegs to hit the ball. I set my chin onto her shoulder and watched as she effortlessly continued to keep the ball in play. After a while, we both got comfortable while I leaned into her touch, and she leaned into mine. Wanting to continue on, I had to think of a way to distract her. But she is so close to the high score. But I want my date back. Alright think Violet what would distract her enough for her to lose the ball. By hugging her from behind it caused her to stutter and pause momentarily. I looked up at her face and saw her look of concentration. Her lips pouted slightly while I could see she was biting the tip of her tongue. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and her eyes flickered wherever the ball was. Wow that's kind of hot. Wait I know what I want to do but, it's going to be risky. "Hey Autumn you want to go mini golfing now?" She hummed in agreement but continued to play, showing that she barely heard me. Now or never.

I unwrapped my arms around her and leaned in to quickly kiss her. It happened so fast that when I pulled away, I saw that her mouth was open in shock, and she was frozen in place. My lips were tingling, and I had a smile on my face. I heard the ball fall and knew that the game was over. Autumn whispered, "Wow." And then looked over at me still in shock. I offered my hand to her, and with shaky hands, she took it. I can't say I didn't enjoy that. I'm just glad my plan worked. Pulling her outside, I paid for our mini golf game and grabbed our stuff. "Hey, are you in this world? Autumn?" Suddenly, she stepped forward and kissed me again firmly this time. My arms dropped while I melted into the kiss and leaned more into her. Autumns right hand came up to cup the back of my neck while the other was on my arm. When breathing became a problem, we both broke away. My chest was rising and falling at a fast rate, trying to regain my breath, and Autumn was doing the same. "I've been wanting to do that since I saw you in class pretty girl." We both locked eyes, and I couldn't help the butterflies and the wide smile on my face. "Then I'm glad I went for it. Now come on, let's go play some mini golf." I gave her, her club and ball, and walked to the first hole, leaving her in her spot. "Tease!" I only laughed and called over my shoulder, "If you're lucky, you'll get more later." I wouldn't mind kissing her again. At least I don't have to imagine what her lips feel like. It was until I felt someone hold me from behind is when I had broke out of their arms to start the game. "You have to earn it Autumn."

"Believe me, I am going to try," I heard her whisper from behind me. Lining up my shot, I pretended not to hear her and swung. Come on, come onn. "Ugh, just missed it," the ball rolled around the hole just missing going in. "Tsk, tsk pretty girl. Almost there." I watched her come closer with a smirk on her face. She quickly leaned in and pecked my cheek while backing up and setting up her shot. I couldn't contain the blush that rose and the feelings I was getting from that simple gesture. Snap my resolve is going to snap if she keeps playing her cards right. Before she hit, I bit down on my lip because that's what I do sometimes in very deep thought. "Would you quit that because all that makes me want to do is kiss you." I let go of my lip and smiled at her, "Go on, hit your ball." She chuckled and hit the ball, making a hole in one. Autumn walked closer to me and smirked, "No prize?" I was wearing my own smirk, "Maybe." I kissed her cheek and went to hit my ball into the hole, moving on to the next hole. This night is just getting started. After our game was done, I looked down at my phone and noticed I had 4 missed texts from Katie, who I left at school.

Katie: "Hey I just wanted to check in to make sure you were okay." 9:00am

Katie: "Are you okay I am getting worried." 11:03am

Katie: "Okay I guess you don't want to talk." 1:10pm

Katie: "You know where I am when you are ready." 4:00pm

"Oh God, Katie."
