Chapter 16
When we pulled up to my house I suddenly felt kind of nervous. I wonder how my mom would handle this? I never really thought about that. I'm sure she'll be fine with it. She knows I'm with AJ. I'm pretty sure she likes AJ. I sighed and pulled closer to AJ. He stopped the motorcycle with one swift movement. Then we both climbed off.
I smiled. I'll never forget that feeling, of being on the back of a motorcycle. Especially with AJ. I just felt so free and safe. AJ took his helmet off and hung it on the bike, then I handed him my helmet and he did the same. Now was the moment of truth. I'll know what my mom thinks of this in a matter of about twenty second. AJ took me by the waist. "It's okay. You're mom's cool." He whispered in my ear. He could always tell when I was uncomfortable or nervous about something. I nodded, not saying anything else. I took a deep breath, then walked with AJ into my house.
When we walked in my mom was no where to be seen. I let go of AJ to put my backpack down. I looked around once then shrugged. "Well, I don't know where my mom is. She'll show up." I laughed without much humor to my tone. AJ came up to me and grabbed me by the waist. "There's no need to be nervous." He comforted. I smiled and he pecked me on the lips. "I know. I just...I don't know." I replied. Then I pulled away. "You hungry? I can try to make you something." He laughed. "I don't know if I'd trust you cooking." I gave him a jokingly cold look. "Oh be quiet! I promise I wont poison you." I did the scouts honor and he laughed. "Okay. I haven't had anything since lunch. What are you gonna make?"
I looked in the fridge. Tomatoes, milk, lettuce, bacon...hmm... "How about BLT's?" I asked. He thought about this for a minute then nodded. "Yeah, okay. I haven't had one of those in a while." I smiled. "Okay. BLT's it is. You can make yourself at home. The TV remote should be over there somewhere." I motioned to the living room. He nodded, but didn't move.
I started making the BLT's. I grabbed the lettuce, tomatoes, and raw bacon out of the fridge and sat it on the counter. Then I felt warm hands wrap around my waist. It almost made me drop the lettuce right in the sink. "Oh geez! You scared me!" I jumped.
He chuckled and started kissing me along my cheek bone. "AJ, how am I supposed to get your sandwich done if you keep distracting me?" I turned toward his face so he could kiss my lips. "I'm sorry ma'am. But I think I'd rather have you than a sandwich." He mumbled.
I giggled, but then composed myself into the most serious expression I could. It was pretty hard though. "AJ, I don't want you to starve." He chuckled. "I'm not that hungry." He nibbled my ear. "Well, maybe I am. Depends on how you looks at it." He stated as I continued to wash off the lettuce. I laughed again. "I know, I know. But it's not just your hunger we have to worry about. I'm hungry too." I replied. He traced my jaw line with his lips.
My spine started to tingle and I started getting goose bumps up and down my arms. "Great." He replied and kissed my cheek a few times. "Not in that way. Don't get too full of yourself." I joked. He took a deep breath. "I'll try my hardest." He joked.
"Uh, Amber?" I heard a familiar voice behind me. AJ immediately pulled away and I spun around. My mom stood at the stair case, staring at me and AJ. My face turned hot, quickly. "Oh...uh, hi mom." I spit out. She eyed me suspiciously. "Hi honey. I see AJ came home with you?" She said. I could tell she wasn't mad, she was just...curious? I nodded. "Yeah, he wanted to come and hang out with me for a bit." I blurted. AJ leaned against the kitchen counter and looked at the floor. I was betting his face was probably as red as mine.
My mom nodded. "Oh, okay. Well hi AJ. What have you been up to lately?" My mom asked like nothing was going on. AJ cleared his throat. "Oh, not much. Just making out with your daughter." He said jokingly. I laughed slightly and I saw a smile spread across my mom's face. She laughed. "Okay. Just don't do anything too lovey-dovey, okay?" I nodded and AJ continued to stare at the floor. My mom eyed him. "Okay, well I'm going to the store, is there anything you need?" My mom asked me, but continued to stare at AJ. I shook my head. She nodded in response and headed towards the door. "I'll be back in about...oh let's say three hours? I'm going to get a little clothes shopping out of the way too." I nodded. "Okay mom. Bye." She waved and went out the door.
Once she was out of sight AJ let out a deep breath. "Wow...that was a little embarrassing." He admitted. "Yeah, just a little. Thanks for the help." I said sarcastically. "Hey, she's your mom." He shot back. I thought about this. "Hmm...touché." He laughed. "So, back to those BLT's..." He said as he made his way over to me again and grabbed my waist. I giggled. "AJ...I want to feed you because I don't want you to die from starvation. Please let me feed you." I begged. He inhaled sharply then sighed. "Fine. But just because you're so irresistible and stubborn." He said. I kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you." I said contently. "It's my job to please you, pretty lady." I laughed. "Yeah right." I rolled my eyes. "Go watch TV or something." I waved him off. He chuckled. "Yes ma'am." He saluted, then made his way into the living room.
Once we I was done with the sandwiches and we both were done eating them, we sat on the couch and started watching CSI: Miami. Right in the middle of the show, AJ grabbed the remote from the table and turned off the TV. Then he put his arm around me and looked me in the eye.
"What are you doing?" I asked a little confused. He shrugged. "I don't know. Just hanging out with my girlfriend." He leaned in and kissed me, but his lips lingered on mine for a few second. Then he kissed me like that again and again. His arms somehow got around my waist and he pulled me closer to him. I flung my arms around his neck to help him support me. His lips curved into a smile under mine.
While we were kissing, I couldn't help but wonder what sparked his interest all of the sudden. I mean, he probably hadn't kissed me with this much passion since our first date. I wonder what he's thinking.
I felt his lips quiver under mine as a laughter broke loose. I pulled away and looked him in the eyes. He kept laughing and then it slowly faded. I continued to stare at him. He looked back, holding my gaze. "What?" He asked, a little taken aback. I shook my head. "Nothing, nothing. It's just..." I trailed off. He continued to stare. "What? I'm listening."
I didn't know how to phrase it. So I finally decided not to say anything. "I don't know. Nothing." I looked at the clock. "Come on, we better prepare for my mom to come home. It's been almost three hours since she's left." I pushed off of his chest and got off the couch. "I'll be right back." I told him. He just sat on the couch, staring at me. He shook his head and nodded. "Okay. Yeah, I'll be down here. Waiting." He said. He seemed pretty offended, or maybe he was just a little shocked. I kissed him on the lips then giggled. "Okay, I promise. Just...five minutes at the most. I wont leave you hanging for too long." He smirked. "Cool. Again, I'll be waiting." I smiled back.
I ran upstairs and threw my bedroom door open. Immediately, I ran to my closet. I found a pair of short-shorts with PINK written on them. And then I grabbed a t-shirt that said LOVES PINK on it. And, of course, they were a pink color. I looked at myself in the mirror real quick to see if I looked presentable. I looked descant enough. My hair was all knotted up so I decided to put it in a sloppy bun. I took a deep breath, then decided I should get back to my boyfriend downstairs. When I turned around to head back downstairs, I jumped when I saw AJ leaning against the doorway to my bedroom.
