Chapter 10
It was the weekend of Aubrey's graduation. I was nervous and excited all at the same time. I decided I wanted to plan a romantic night in with Aubrey. I knew the time was right and I just hoped everything would go to plan. I'm not the best cook but Chloe had been giving me lessons so I could cook a wonderful meal for Aubrey. I had even enlisted Beca with making me some mixes for my night with Aubrey. Beca and Chloe had both promised that they were going to take the rest of the Bella's on an outing so they would be out of the house leaving me and Aubrey alone. I told Aubrey we were going to have a movie night on Friday to celebrate her graduation so she wouldn't make any other plans.
Tonight, was the night. Aubrey had been busy doing last minute graduation plans allowing me to prepare for our night. I had already texted her making sure she was going to be here on time. I already had the table prepared with a vase of fresh red roses placed in the center. I anxiously waited to hear her enter the house. As soon as I heard the door close, I went to meet her. I grabbed her hand leading her to the table. "Amy what's going on?" I pulled out her chair. "Take a seat Aubrey. I have a special night in planned for us." After she took a seat, I filled our glasses and served our food. We talked about how Aubrey's graduation planning was going as we listened to Beca's mix tape playing in the background. I cleared the table and put the dishes in the dishwasher. I returned back to the table to see Aubrey. I offered my hand to Aubrey helping her stand. "Dance with me." I pulled her in close as we slow danced to Beca's mixes. We slow danced for a couple of songs before I separated us. "Aubrey, I know you said we would know when the time is right. I can't think of a better time than right now." I grabbed her hand and led her to my bedroom
I was nervous after we entered my bedroom even though I knew I wanted this and that I wanted it to be with Aubrey. We both sat down on my bed as we scooted towards the head board. I brushed some stray blond hair away from Aubrey's eyes. I slowly leaned in and kissed her. Things slowly progressed to where I was laying back on the bed with Aubrey hovering over me. Aubrey started placing kisses down my neck to my shoulder. She stopped for a second before looking me in the eye. "Amy are you sure this is what you want?" I nodded my head. Aubrey slowly started unbuttoning my shirt her eyes never leaving mine. She went slowly giving me a chance to stop if I needed. She helped me unfasten and remove the rest of my clothing. I was laying back staring up at her feeling self-conscious about my body. By the look on Aubrey's face I could tell she knew what my thoughts were. "Amy, I want you to look at me. You are beautiful and I love every part of you." I smiled back at her. I got the courage to help her remove her clothes until we were laying together with no barriers left between us. My body was tingling and on fire where our skin made contact. I nodded as she gave me one last look to make sure I was okay with what was happening. Before I knew what was happening, we both were exploring each other's body until we both had been satisfied multiple times and too exhausted to move. We both rolled over and cuddled before we both drifted off to sleep.
I woke up to my phone alarm quietly buzzing. I extracted myself from Aubrey's tight grip trying not to wake her up. I knew the Bella's would be back soon so I needed to get started on Aubrey's breakfast. After I had finished in the kitchen, I carried our prepared breakfast to the bedroom. I knocked on the door frame seeing Aubrey groggily sit up in bed smiling at me. I carried the tray sitting it on the bed before I gently sat down next to her. "Amy you didn't have to do this." I smirked at her. "You graduate today I think you deserve something special. We better hurry up before the Bella's get back unless you want them to find out about us before tonight at your party." I gave her a quick kiss before we ate our breakfast. We both cleaned up and changed just in time before we heard the Bella's arrive back to the house.
All of the Bella's and Treble's attended the graduation ceremony for Aubrey. I was sad and happy at the same time watching Aubrey walk across the stage receiving her diploma. Of course, all of the Bella's and Treble's were cheering for her when she walked across the stage. I think we all might have embarrassed her a little bit. After the ceremony was over Aubrey introduced me to her parents. I was shocked she had introduced me as her girlfriend. I waited for her parents to comment but they didn't. Instead I received a hug from her mom and a handshake from her dad. Her mother smiled at me. "So, this is who we have been hearing so much about. I'm so happy to meet you. You have made our daughter happier than she has been in a long time. We would love for you both to come to dinner sometime. I guess us old folks better let you young ones go so you can enjoy Aubrey's party." Aubrey gave her parents a hug and kiss before they left. Aubrey smiled at me. "Don't worry you did great. They loved you Amy. They are right we do need to get together for dinner sometime so they can get to know you better. But for tonight you are all mine. Let's go find the Bella's and Trebles so we can head out to the party."
Aubrey's graduation party was a small get together at the Bella's house with mostly Treble's, Bella's, and a few other's Aubrey had made friends with over her years at Barden. Aubrey was holding my hand as we ran into Stacie and Cynthia Rose in the hallway. Stacie smiled at us. "So is there something the two of you would like to tell us." Cynthia Rose smirked "How long have you been holding out on us?" I smiled at them both. Aubrey and I rounded up the rest of the Bella's into a group to talk to them. They all instantly noticed our entwined hand. "So, I guess we both have something to tell you guys. Aubrey and I are dating. We have been dating for a little while but we wanted to keep things quiet until we made sure thing were going to work." All of the Bella's started talking over each other but Stacie's voice was the loudest. "So how did all of this start between the two of you?" I squeezed Aubrey's hand and took a deep breath. "It actually started pretty slow. You all know Aubrey was there for me with everything that happened with Bumper. She showed me unconditional love and support when I needed it the most. We spent a lot of time together and started realizing we had feelings for each other. We decided we wanted to try being together but that we would take things slowly especially after everything that happened. We both decided today was the day we were going to tell you guys, but Stacie and Cynthia Rose caught us first." The Bella's all smiled and surrounded us in a group hug. After congratulating the two of us everyone gradually broke away to enjoy the rest of the party. Aubrey and I joined the rest of the Bella's to the makeshift dance floor as we all danced the night away.
