Part 8
After my lunch with Maxie, I wasn't sure what to do. Yesterday was one of the most confusing days of my entire life, and today didn't seem to be getting any better. I walked down toward the docks, with the idea of relaxing. Try to clear my mind and such. As a came closer to the edge of the pier, though, I noticed a small body sitting silently. "Hello?" I asked, I couldn't make out who it was, but I could tell now that it was a girl.
The girl turned to face me. "Dillon?" I squatted down, becoming face to face with none other than Georgie Jones. I watched her face as a faint smile started to appear. "What are you doing here?"
I smiled back at her. "I'm not sure exactly," I told her. Honestly, I really wasn't. "To think, I guess."
She nodded and looked away. "Yeah. Me too." I looked up at the sky for a moment, taking in the dark clouds. It looked like rain would start falling any second now. "So.umm." Georgie began, I looked back to her. "We should probably talk about last night." I felt my cheeks blush slightly as a held back a smirk. Thoughts of kissing her had come rushing back at her comments.
I sat down next to her as I spoke, "Yeah. um, about that." I couldn't find the words to say.

[...everything i say to you it comes out wrong never comes out right...]

"Umm." I continued, feeling more stupid by the moment. "Well, I, uh, wanted to apologize for that." I looked to the water beneath us. "It was completely out of line for me to kiss you. I don't know what came over me exactly."
"Dillon." Georgie interrupted me. "It's okay." I looked over to her. I felt a drop of water on my arm as she spoke. "It's just that. well, honestly, I'm as or more confused than I was before as to what we are and how I feel and I'm not sure I know anything anymore. I mean, are we just friends? Are we more? Are we friends who just happen to keep kissing each other? I mean." She sighed. "I just don't know what to think anymore."
I took a deep breath and let it out before I answered her. "Georgie," I spoke softly. The sprinkling of rain now turning into a small drizzle; neither of us moved, though. "I don't know how you feel, but I can say one thing. I'm falling for you. And, I don't want to mess up the only good thing I have going for me in this town. So, I guess, it's all up to you now." The rain was coming down faster now, harder. I stood up and looked at her for a moment before starting to walk away.
I'd gotten to the end of the dock before I heard my name being called. I turned just in time to see Georgie run into me, making me lose my balance slightly and stumble back. As we fell to the ground, she leaned closer, pressing her lips to mine.

[...after this the unavoidable kiss, where the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast...]

The rain poured around us as I finally realized what'd happened. I opened my eyes to see Georgie lying on top of me and burst into laughter. She rolled off me and I sat up, still chuckling. I looked at her as her cheeks blushed with embarrassment. "Sorry," she mumbled, her eyes darting everywhere but me.
I moved my hand to her cheek and laughed again. I waited for her to look into my eyes before I said anything. When she finally did, I gazed back, a grin on my face. "So, what does that mean?" I joked. She laughed slightly as I leaned in and kissed her.
