-September-

~Duncan~

After I see Courtney off, I walk back to my truck with thoughts racing through my mind.

I really kissed Courtney.

I don't know how many times that I've dreamt about kissing her full lips. It must have been at least a thousand times.

I feel myself smile as I lightly touched my lips, still feeling the touch of hers on mine. I let out a chuckle as I get into the car. After I'm done buckling up and start the car, I make my way out of the parking lot.

~15 minutes later~

I pull into the driveway and notice that both my parents aren't home. I reach for my backpack and keys before I reach for the door. After I lock up the truck, I quickly walk up the front steps and unlock the front door.

I relock the door and make my way up to my room. Once I'm in my bedroom, I kick off my converse and drop my backpack and I change into a pair of loose basketball shorts and a muscle top and head downstairs to the kitchen to heat up some leftover chicken from the night before.

As I'm waiting for the chicken to heat up, I pick up my phone and scroll through my contacts until I find Courtney's name and I text her, "Hey, babe " and hit send.

After a few moments of sending her the text, my phone lets out a little ping as it lights up with her message. I smile as I take the chicken out and send her another message back.

While I'm eating and long after I'm finished, the conversation between me and Courtney never falls flat. Before I know it, it's almost eight o' clock at night and I tell her that I'm going to take a shower and that I'll reply back after I'm done. As I start to undress, my phone pings again with Courtney's message, that she was getting ready to take one as well. Nodding and smiling to myself, I tell her okay and quickly finish undressing as I make my way to the bathroom and hop in to the shower.

~20 minutes later~

I get out of the shower and dry off. As I continue to towel dry my hair, I make my way back to my room and pull on a pair of boxers. Grabbing my phone, I text Courtney that I'm done. After I'm finished with drying my hair, I hang the towel back up in the bathroom and plop down on my bed.

About five minutes after, Courtney replies back with a hey, and pretty soon we're back to our lively conversation.

~Time skip~

It's about nine-thirty when I get off the bed and go brush my teeth, all the while me and Courtney continue to text.

We text each other until I fell asleep.

~Friday, the next morning~

I woke up in the morning with a stretch and a groan.

I sleepily check my phone and notice that it's almost seven. Writing Courtney a quick good morning message, I hop off the bed and throw on a pair of jeans, a skull t-shirt, and some socks.

I go down the stairs and head towards the kitchen to make a bowl of cereal. Once I've finished making my breakfast, I pick up the bowl and take a big bite when I noticed the note left by my dad. He told me that he took the truck and won't be back until sometime next week. "Shit." I mutter out. My dad travels for work often, but does a lot of work from home, and my mom works at a senior citizen home from way early in the morning until sometime late at night. Which now leaves me with no ride to school.

I sigh and finish my breakfast and put my dirty dishes in the dishwasher. I head back upstairs to fix my hair and brush my hair. Once I was done, I threw on my red converse and grabbed my backpack, keys, and phone and made my way back downstairs.

I barely glance at the time on my phone when I noticed that it was almost seven-thirty. I walk out of the house and turned to lock the door. As I am turning back around, I noticed a very familiar blonde making her way down her front deck.

"Courtney?" I asked.

She pauses her movement and turns towards me.

"Duncan?" She asks. "What are you doing here?"

"I live here. What about you?"

She gives me a look and says, "I…live…here…?"

Suddenly, I remember from the first day when I saw some girl for half a second and again singing. Slowly, I come to realize how the car that I saw the first time was cool as hell and how it is the same car that I've noticed was the one that Courtney also walked to and left in after school.

Feeling like a total idiot, I slapped myself in the forehead at my own idiocy and let out a laugh.

"Duncan?" Courtney asks confusion laces her voice.

Chuckling still, I tell her that its nothing and I ask her for a lift.

She bites her bottom lip and she cocks her eyebrow in consideration. "I normally pick up Bridgette and drive to school with her, but she texted me this morning and said that she's going to be late today since she has a doctor's appointment. So, it'll be fine." She finishes with a smile.

Feeling my heart flutter, I walk towards her car as she unlocks it and she climbs into the driver's seat and I climb into the passenger's side.

Once we're buckled in, she gives me a shy smile and starts the car. She pulls out of the driveway and drives to school.

It was probably one of the best fifteen minutes of my life.

~7:45 am~

Courtney pulls into her usual spot and parks the car. We grab our stuff and get out of the car. Once she locks the car, we walk close together and make our way inside the senior building.

Since we still have about fifteen minutes until we have to go to class, we head towards the seating area outside of the library and claim a group of chairs by the door. Sitting somewhat next to each other, with our bags each on a chair, we're talking and laughing. Now that I'm fully able to pay closer attention to her, I really can't help myself from thinking how utterly beautiful she is.

With almost ten minutes left, a group of girls in the financial literacy class that me and Courtney have comes sauntering in. They always hang around me when I don't want them to. Its honestly one of the most annoying things. They take a few steps past the door before they spot me.

I notice the ring leader about to say something annoying, but before she could, I find myself leaning towards Courtney and running my fingers through her long hair. She lets out a gasp and I can't help myself from leaning closer and giving her a kiss on those beautiful lips.

As time stood still, I can slightly hear those annoying chicks letting out gasps and leaving. Once I've heard the door closing behind them, I slowly pull back from Courtney. I opened my eyes after a few moments and suck in a deep breath when I see that beautiful look on her face. Slowly, she opens her eyes and blushes. I give her a small smile and tell her that I was sorry for just randomly kissing her. Her blushing increases and tells me that it was okay.

After a few moments, the five-minute bell rings and me and Courtney stood up and grabbed our things before walking back across the main building.

After we made it back, we shared a smile and she head towards her first-period class and I wait until she's out of my sight before I start to head towards my first-period class. Art Foundations with Mrs. Blair.

~10:25 am, Third Period~

My first two classes just flew by. I'm one my way to the vocational building for my Woodshop class with Johnson, when I am reminded that Scott is in the same class with me. There's been something that's been bothering me since the first day, so I decided that'll ask him about today.

I get into class and notice that Scott is standing at his locker; looking at his phone, while looking for his safety equipment. Taking a deep breath and steeling my nerves, I make myself walk towards him.

"Hey." I start out.
"Sup, Duncan?"
"I've been wonder actually, but… what happened between you and Courtney?" I ask.

He gives me a bit of a long, confused look before saying, "We used to date."

I can feel the blood drain from my face. "What?" I managed out.

He shrugs and continues, "Yeah; we dated around the middle of sophomore year, mutually broke up in the beginning of junior year, then we got back together for a few months until she broke up with me. We're still good friends, though." He ends with a slight smile.

While trying to relax my racing heart, I give him a half-smile and tell him "Ah."

With that, the bell indicating that class was going to start ring, and we went to our stations and started to work on our daily projects.

~Lunchtime, 11:35-12:05~

The bell rings and it's time for lunch. I walk my way to the cafeteria and in front of me, I see Courtney I bit in front of me. With a smirk, I quickly run up behind her and tickle her sides.

"AHH!" She screams. When she turns around and notices that it's me, she gives me a dark look and hits my arm and scream my name.

Laughing, I wrap my arm around her shoulders and tease her. Whenever I look down, I always see a shy smile on her face and rosy cheeks. Always making my heart flutter.

We sit next each other at her usual lunch table, most of her friends weren't all too thrilled with an addition to their table, but I could care less. Spending time with Courtney is more important.

After lunch, me and her walk together to our fourth period, she waves to her friends as we walk away.

~3:05, End bell~

I stand and wait for Courtney to finish putting her things away as the group of girls are still hovering around us.

She stands up and I reach for her hand. She grabs her bag, our fingers still interlocked, and we start to head out the door. Right when we make it in front of the door, the ringleader of the group of girls starts to say my name, but I quickly pull Courtney's hand, ignoring the girl.

Almost too quickly, we are at her car. It's only when we let our hands, slowly, drift apart. She unlocks the car and we get into our respective seats. Once we're are situated in, she starts the car and heads back to our street.

~15 minutes later~

Courtney pulls into her driveway and parks the car. Before she could reach her seatbelt, a grab her hand. She looks at me with questioning eyes and I ask her if she'll go on a date with me tonight. As soon as the words leave my mouth, her cheeks instantly flush red.

"I-I have homework…" She mumbles out.
"Even geniuses need a break." I argue back.

She blushes even redder and nods her head, with a cute little smile attached to her lips.

I ask her if I could drive her car and she agrees. I tell her that I would pick her up at seven-thirty.

After we get out of the car, I go to her side and grab her hands.

"Don't get too gussied up. Dress as you usually would." I tell her, as I lick my lips.

She nods her head and says okay.

When she gets into her house, I start to head towards mine. After I unlock and relock the door, I make my way to my room and start to get ready for my date.

~7 pm~

I've finished getting ready pretty early. I took a shower and shaved. I'm wearing one of the few nice shirts that I own, a pair of dark jeans, and my converse. I'm planning on taking her to see 'The Boy' at the movie theater. I don't know if Courtney wants to go out to eat after the movie, so I made sure that I have more than enough money with me, just in case.

I spritz some of my usual good cologne and make sure that I have everything I needed before heading out.

I know that I'm early, but I'm just too nervous and excited to finally go out with her.

I wasn't there for ten minutes before Courtney walks out.

I can feel my heart race, jaw drop. She looks stunning.

She's wearing a black dress with a black cardigan, a pale pink clutch, and black converse high-tops. Her hair is slightly curled, and her cheeks are a nice pink color as she notices my stare.

"What?" She asks, slightly nervous.
"Nothing; you just look amazing."

She blushes even more and walks me.

"You look good, too. Oh, here." She compliments me and hands me her car key.

"Are you flirting with me, Ms. Sterling?" I tease her, grabbing the key.
"Hmm, wouldn't you like to know?" She teases right back.

Grinning, I unlock her car and open the passenger side for her. She smiles her thanks and climbs in. Closing the door, I rush around to the driver's side and get in. After starting the car and getting situated, I pull out of the driveway and drive to the movie theater. The car is filled with light chatter, laughs, as the radio plays as simple background noise.

~7:40~

"You still like horror movies, right?" I ask.
"Oh yeah, I love them."

I give her a smile and say good. As I say that, I pull into the theater's parking lot. It's no surprise that the parking lot is packed on a Friday night, but I managed to find a spot somewhat close to the building. Hopping out of the car and going to her side, I open the door for her. She says thank you as I close the door behind her and locking the car. I grab her hand and lace our fingers. She asks me what we're seeing and her eyes glitter when I tell her.

I open the front door for her and we walk into the booth. I buy our tickets and we decide to play a couple games in the arcade until about eight.

We play some skeeball and some Pac-Man, when my phone goes off, indicating that it was five minutes until eight. I tell Courtney that as she finishes her last Pac-Man game, and we hold hands as we walk to the snack bar. I order a large buttered popcorn and a large blue Icee with two straws. Courtney starts to argue, saying that she would pay. I tell her no but she wouldn't ease up, so I tell her that I'll pay but I'll take the money. She agrees and hands me the money. I wait until she isn't looking before I put the money in her cardigan pocket. The girl behind the counter puts the Icee in front of me with the straws and I take both the straws and put them in the Icee. Next came the popcorn and Courtney takes the bag. With one hand holding the drink, the other wraps around her and we walk into the showroom.

When we enter through the door, the lights have already dimmed for the trailers, and I lead us to the back. When we get into the seats in the middle of the back row, I notice how there are hardly anyone here. We critique the trailers as we share the drink and popcorn. Soon enough, the movie starts.

It's been about thirty minutes or so after the movie had started. By this time, I'm more engrossed with Courtney than the actual movie. At some scary part, she reaches for me as she lets out a gasp. Seeing her adorable expression, I find myself turning her head and kissing her pretty lips.

She lets out a tiny gasp before falling into the kiss. Soon, the kiss turns into a hot make-out session, that don't let up until the lights come back on.

~10:30 pm~

"You dick! I really wanted to see that movie!" Courtney exclaims as she hits my arm.

I laugh and tell her that we'll just have to go again tomorrow. We walk back to the car and I asked her if she wanted to get something to eat and she tells me no. I unlock and open her door for her and shut it behind her after she's in. I walk to the driver's and get in. I start the car and drive us back home.

It's about eleven when I pull in her driveway. Getting out of her car and helping her out, I lock the car and hand her her keys back. I walk her to her front door and tell her that I had a wonderful time. She grins and says she did soon. We hug and before I turn away, she grabs my hand pulls me back towards her. Before I can react, she has her hand on my shirt and is tugging me down so she can kiss me. The kiss doesn't last long but it was one of the best kisses of my life. She pulls away first with a slight giggle and lip bite. She tells me goodnight before disappearing inside. After I shake myself, I let out a goofy grin before turning away and walking back to my house.

Soon after I entered the house, I go back up to my room and strip down to my boxers. I brush my teeth then lay in bed, thinking about Courtney and our date. As I'm thinking about her, I feel myself grow hot and I feel my dick hardening. It seems like it always has a mind of itself whenever Courtney floats through my mind.

And I don't mind it.
