Time's up and it's getting late, we all reconvene by the fire and we say our goodbyes. Greg walks me to the car and kisses me one last time. We get in and start down his driveway.
Lexi squeals in excitement, "Vinny is such a good kisser! He is so hot! Oh my gosh, we're totally together now!" We all laugh and talk about our night. Kelly and Scott are old pro's now, they kiss more than anyone I've ever seen and they do it shamelessly anywhere anytime. The girls ask me about Greg and I say, "He's so sweet and I think he likes me too, we'll see what happens Monday at school." and I kind of laugh it off awkwardly.
I really hope he likes me as much as I like him but I try not to get my hopes up, maybe it was just the game and the fire and he won't even remember by Monday. But my hopes are already up, it was so nice being in his strong arms. The girls can sense my worries and decide we should stop for ice cream on our way home. We stop quick and get back to Kelly's house, her mom calls on her break and asks us to check on the camper, there was a leak earlier and she doesn't want it to stay too wet because it will start to smell. We go out and dry up the little puddle and head back to the house when a car pulls down her driveway.
We get to the door but wait outside to see who it is, the car comes around the camper and it's Greg. He parks, gets out and runs to me. "Hey beautiful, I missed you." He kisses me hard and puts his sweatshirt over my shoulders. "I thought you may want something to remember me by."
The girls go in and give us a minute. "Greg, we just left, what's gotten into you?"
"I've been wanting to do that for so long but never had the nerve" he took a step back nervously, "Did I screw it up? Did I make a fool of myself?"
I take a step closer, "Not at all, I've been wanting that too," and I kiss him again. "Do I get to keep your sweatshirt? It's still pretty chilly," I say hugging it tightly.
He laughs and nods, "It's yours as long as you're mine."
I feel flush again and smile bigger, it's his team hoodie, in football at our school, that's a big deal, I'm now his girl. He's a year older and has so many girls who want to date him. How did I get so lucky? What made him pick me?
