That night, I was up in my room, laying on my stomach, on my bed and on my laptop. I was on Tumblr, scrolling down my newsfeed. One of Jakes pictures came up. He was standing in front of the camera, with no shirt on. His eight pack made my mouth water. His silky hair and his biceps were just too much. And to think, he's MY boyfriend. Well, basically. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and sent Jake a text message.
"Jake I can't wait anymore. We need to meet."
I waited a few minutes. He didn't reply. I let out a loud sigh. This is hopeless. As I was just about to get off my bed and go downstairs, my phone did a
*ding*. I ran over to it, and picked it up. It was Jake. The text message had read,
"Tonight. Sneak out around 1 am. I'll meet you a block away from your house in my car." Jake had just gotten his licsense last month. He must be in town or something. Or maybe he's driving all the way here just to meet me.! When that text registered through my head, my stomach fluttered and my heart started beating really fast. Yay! Finally we're going to meet! So he must be real, right? I mean, he wouldn't meet up with me if he wasn't who he says he is. Its about time! I agreed, and looked at the clock. 9:03 pm. I didn't want to wait a whole 4 hours. I was so excited, but nervous at the same time. What if he sees me and thinks I'm not good enough for him? What if he thinks I'm uglier in person than I am in my pictures? I shook my head of those thoughts. I ran to my bathroom that is connected off of my bedroom, and turned my straightner on. I put a layer of my hair in a pony tail to start straightning my naturally wavy hair. I made sure it looked perfect. Next, I pulled my white makeup bag out of my American Eagle purse and poured every kind of mascara, and foundation on the counter in front of my mirror. As I was in the middle of doing my makeup, I heard a knock on my bedroom door. I ran out of my bathroom & opened my door to find my mom. She was wearing her blue and white pajama pants with a white T shirt and her hair was in a ponytail on the top of her head.
"I just wanted to say goodni-" she stopped in midsentence and looked me up and down. "What are you getting all dolled up for?"
I tried to come up with a lie to say. I couldn't tell her that I was sneaking out later to go see a boy? No, she would flip shit.
"Just gonna take pictures for Tumblr."
She gave me a weird look.
"Hmm. okay... well goodnight." Phew! She bought it! I shut my door and locked it, and went back to finish my makeup. When I was done, I picked out a pair of cute black yoga pants and pink bootie slippers. I put on a hoodie that was pink and had black writing on it, that read "Love Pink" I decided to have that lazy but cute look. I didn't want him to think that I was trying too hard. When I was finished with that, I looked at the time. it was 10:09. Ugh still 3 hours left to wait! I flipped my TV on and sat down. Hopefully this will make time go by faster.
The next thing I knew, my phone was vibrating over and over and over again. I looked over at my clock. It read, 1:07 am. SHIT!! I was late! I grabbed my phone and my lock screen said '5 unread text messages.' All from jake. They read,
'Hey babe.'
'Are you ready to meet up?'
'I'm just as nervous as you are...'
'Hello? Do you still want to do this?'
'Please answer me. I'm around the corner..'
I hurried up and replied, 'Be out in a sec. stay where you are.'
I jumped off my bed & ran to my window. I slid it up slowly so it didn't make its usual squeaky noise. I didn't need my mom waking up now. I climbed out, and jumped on to the grass, hurting my ankles. I didn't care though, the butterflies in my stomach were blocking out every other emotion in my body. This is it. I'm on my way to go meet my boyfriend. For the first time. ever.
