Chapter 2: Fireworks

"Well it's hard to describe. It tastes like… Levi" I said with a little laugh.

He smiled the biggest smile and helped me get up. As we walked back across the street Levi held my hand. As we sat down everybody was smiling and clapping.

Before I went home Levi asked me to go to the rodeo with him that night. As we agreed when to meet I started to get nervous. It would be my first date. Although today I'd already gotten my first kiss so maybe things would be ok. And then I went home and changed into my riding clothes and went to the barn.

As I changed out of my riding clothes and started getting ready to go out with Levi I started worrying again.

As we arrived at the rodeo grounds we meet up with Jessica and her boyfriend Jake. We sat in the perfect spot and watched the rodeo. At the end there was an announcement:

"Levi would like to wish Katie a very Happy Birthday!!!"

I looked up to see Levi staring at me with a big smile on his face. His eyes had a sparkle to them, and they were filled with….. Love. It hit me right then and there that I loved him, I'd known him my whole life, he was my big brother and best friend, and I loved him.

He put his hand under my chin and tilted it up and leaned in and kissed me. At this exact moment the fireworks started. I started smiling as he was still kissing me. I pulled back and looked over at Jessica and Jake and they were kissing as well. I looked back up at Levi and he kissed me again. After a few seconds we pulled away and he put his arm around me. I leaned my head against his shoulder and watched the Fireworks.

As we were sitting on the tailgate of his camo truck waiting on Jake's brother to come and pick Jessica and Jake up, Levi whispered in my ear.

"You look so beautiful tonight. I wish you could have seen the sparkle in your eyes during the fireworks"

"Levi….." I was speechless. I wanted so bad to tell him how I felt, but even though I'd known him most of my life, we'd only been dating for a day. He just stared at me, and eventually I was able to talk. "Thank you. I had the greatest time tonight. I wish you could have seen your smile earlier. I think it was the biggest smile I've ever seen on your face."

He smiled and leaned in to kiss me once more. Wow we had been kissing a lot today. I wonder if we're moving too fast. No. We've know each other so long.

My thoughts were interrupted by Jake telling me by and Jessica giving me a hug and telling me by. Me and Levi both said by to them and then got in his truck and started heading home. I soon felt my phone vibrating in my pocket. I opened it expecting to see a missed call from mom or dad, but it was only a txt from Jessica.

You and Levi are so cute together. You look like you were enjoying yourself a lot tonight. Hope you had a wonderful b-day. Luv ya Jessica.

I smiled as I read it and Levi noticed. "What does it say?"

"O nothing really, just Jessica telling me happy birthday again." I said with a laugh.

As we pulled into Levi's driveway, I started to get out, but was stopped by Levi. I sat there as he got out and walked around the front of the truck. He opened my door for me as I was laughing. He was so nice! I said thank you in between giggles and he just smiled.

He walked with me as I walked across the yard to my house. As we stepped onto my porch, I stopped and turned to him. He put his hand on my check and leaned in and kissed me again. It was a different kind of kiss; this one was filled with passion, and lasted a whole lot longer than all the others. I started to worry about my parents, just as he pulled away and smiled. I smiled back and leaned my head onto his chest as he wrapped his arms around me. I eventually pulled away and looked at him.

"I hope you had a wonderful birthday."

"I did, I think it was the best yet! Thank you so much."

"Is it ok if I come over tomorrow?"
"Why of course! I'm sure mom and dad want mind."

"Ok, well goodnight and sweet dreams."
"Thank you, you too."
I hugged him again and went to the door. I turned around to look at him once more before walking inside. It was late and mom and dad were half asleep when they asked me if I had a good time. I told them I had and to go to bed. I was on my way myself. I was so tired. I went to my room and found some soffees and a t-shirt. I slipped them on and lay down onto my bed. I told Nick to hop up onto my bed with me and he lay down at my feet. I slowly drifted to sleep thinking of Levi.
