Ever since Winter Formal, Jenn and John had become inseparable. They ate lunch together now and walked home together hand in hand. A couple of weeks had gone by and they still hadn't gone out on a date. They figured it'd be a good time to do something, but John only had his learner's permit for driving and Jenn was still too young to drive. They were walking home from school one Friday when the subject was brought up.
"So…do you wanna go out tomorrow night?" he asked, smiling at her.
"Sure…what do you wanna do?" she asked, tilting her head. It wasn't like they could go anywhere and really have a great time.
"Well my parents are gonna be out of the house on Saturday, and my brothers are easy enough to get rid of." he said shrugging.
"Even your younger brothers?"
"Oh I have plans for them. They have lots of friends and I'm sure sleepovers can be in order."
"So what's on par for tomorrow night, then?" she asked excitedly.
"I was thinking…I could order a pizza and Casablanca?" he asked, knowing how much she loved that movie.
"Sounds great~!" she exclaimed with a giggle.
This week, they were doing homework at John's house. His family knew they were going out and all they could do was smile when they saw the young couple, especially his mother. His brothers and father had made bets to see when the 2 would get together. His brother Steve won and he was still gloating about it around the house.
"Well if it isn't my younger brother, Lover Boy?" he teased, getting John into a headlock. John got out of it pretty quickly, sucker-punching him.
"Shut up, Steve." he said with a blush.
They went on with their homework as usual. Every so often they would take a small break just to goof around and play which always ended with a kiss or two. Jenn eventually had to go home so John naturally walked her to the door. She smiled at him as he leaned against the doorway. She had to admit he looked good.
"So I'll see you tomorrow?" she asked happily.
"Oh yes…I'll come get you and we'll walk to my house together." he said smiling back. He just had such cute dimples.
"Sounds good."
He leaned in and kissed her softly. Every one of his kisses put her on Cloud 9. They were always firm, but gentle. He never pushed further than what she was comfortable with and she never even had to tell him. It was as if he knew the limits of what he could do with her and he was completely okay with that. She reluctantly pulled away and headed on home.
The next day, Jenn got herself a little dressed up. She wore a pair of cute jeans with a nice tank top and a nice jacket to match. She put her hair half-up, half-down and didn't wear any makeup. She never usually did anyway. She just felt, that since it was she and John's first time alone together, it might have been worth getting a little dolled up for.
She made her way to John's house around 5 in the evening. When she rang the doorbell John had answered. He wore an open Red Sox jersey with a black wife beater underneath and some nice jeans. Like he had said, he had successfully gotten rid of his brothers and his parents were nowhere to be found.
"So did you order the pizza yet?" she asked, taking her jacket off. He nodded.
"Yup. Thirty minutes or it's half price." he grinned.
"So how did you get your brothers out of the house?" she asked arching her eyebrow.
"Well luckily, my older brother's girlfriend likes me so she got him out for me. The others…I had to bribe them and their friends…sneaky little brats. I think they're little evil geniuses." he said with a laugh, making her laugh too.
"How much did you end up giving them?" she asked. John had three younger brothers as it was, and then there were their friends.
"I had to shell out ten bucks to each and every one of them. They better not dime me out to the parents." he said threateningly, despite no one else being there.
It felt weird to be truly alone. It wasn't bad or really awkward, just strange. They made their way to the living room and they didn't want to start the movie before the pizza got there because they didn't want to deal with pausing it and whatnot. They decided to watch some TV in the meantime, since the pizza should be arriving within twenty minutes. They turned on the TV and the show "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" was on.
They sat together and John's arm instinctively went around her shoulders. She relaxed against him comfortably. Over the past few months, he'd gotten in even better shape. She didn't know how he did it. They laughed at a couple of the funny things Will Smith was doing on the screen before calming down.
"Dude…Will Smith is a comedic genius!" Jenn laughed.
"Seriously!" John agreed. They looked at each other for a quick moment as they calmed themselves down.
"Thanks…" she said softly.
"For what?"
"For doing all this."
"I wanted to get some real alone time with you…and I'm sorry."
"Why are you sorry?"
"Because I can't even take you on a real date yet. If I had my license I'd be taking you out right now." he said, feeling slightly guilty. He looked down for a moment. Jenn took his face in her hands and had him face her.
"Hey…for all I care, this is one of the sweetest things you could have done for me. I couldn't think of a better first date." she reassured as she leaned in and kissed him.
He smiled into the kiss as he gladly returned it. He wrapped his arms around her waist as the kiss deepened. She wrapped her arms around his neck, enjoying how he felt against her. As the kissing continued, his tongue slid along her lower lip, seeking entrance. It was a bit new but she allowed him entrance, letting their tongues touch.
A soft sigh of contentment could be heard from her lips as they started to make out. Whatever was happening on the TV was drowned out and forgotten as she ran her fingers through his short hair. He ran his hands up and down her back, his large hand cupping her neck to keep her close to him. Unfortunately, they had pull apart when the pizza guy had arrived. They were panting for air when John got up to pay the man for the stuff.
Jenn was in a daze on the couch. She had kissed a few guys before, but she definitely had never experienced anything like that. Thinking about it, she couldn't help but smile. He returned and once he set the food down, he put the movie in the player. They ate in relative silence, grinning goofily at each other every now and then. Once they had their fill of pizza, they relaxed again on the couch. As one of the best scenes in the movie came up, John heard Jenn sigh audibly, making him chuckle.
"You like this movie that much?" he asked, smiling at her.
"It's the most romantic movie of all time. Humphrey Bogart is just amazing. Just hearing him say "Here's lookin' at you, kid." makes me melt." she sighed.
"You're adorable, you know that?" he said with another soft chuckle, making her blush.
"Just watch the movie." she said, taking his head and turning it back to the television.
As the movie kept going, Jenn cuddled up closely to John. Movies like this always put her in a cuddly mood and frankly, he was enjoying himself. He found himself stroking her hair absently throughout the movie. Once it had ended, John kissed her lips softly again.
"Such a great movie." she said sighing happily again.
"Hell yeah…Bogart's a badass." he said grinning widely. Jenn checked the watch she was wearing. It was about 9:30 in the evening. She didn't want to make her parents wait too long for her.
"I should probably be getting home." she said, disappointed. He was too. It showed on his face.
"Let me get my jacket and I'll walk you home."
"I can take care of myself, you know?"
"So you don't want me to walk you home?" he asked, arching his eyebrow.
"I never said that, but the fact that you assumed I needed you to is what triggered that response." she said, making herself sound smart.
"Ah ha…well I'm sorry. I forgot what a kick ass girlfriend I have." he said making her smile.
"And I forgot how sweet of a boyfriend I have." she said, still ecstatic about being able to call John her boyfriend.
They left his house and walked slowly to Jenn's house. It still seemed like too soon once they reached her door. He held on to her hand at the front door, running his thumb in small circles on her hand. He pulled her close into a warm embrace. She loved it when he held her. She felt safe and secure in his strong arms.
"I'll call you, okay?" he said, his head on her shoulder.
"You better~!" she teased as she smacked his back. He laughed softly. She could feel his laugh through her own body as well, making her laugh as well.
"I'll call you tomorrow." he reassured.
"Okay…thanks again for tonight. I had a really good time." she said genuinely.
"I promise…as soon as I get my license, we're going on REAL dates." he promised.
"Pinky promise?" she asked, holding out her pinky. He chuckled as he returned the pinky promise. Once their pinkies were connected, he pulled her in for another kiss.
John's kisses were always so great, and today on the couch was no exception. She reluctantly pulled away from him as she started to head inside. He gave her hand one final squeeze before he watched her go inside and he had to head back home himself. He couldn't help but walk back with a bit of a skip in his step.
