Chapter 13

Adam's POV

"Who cares who knows about us." I said kissing the top of the bridge of her nose and stroking her hair.

"Yea you're right." Shannon grabbed my wrist and brought my face down to meet her's. We just sat there not kissing but almost. Then Shannon grazed her lips over mine and I returned it by kissing her. Slowly our mouths opened and wrapped my hands around her tiny waist. I never thought she was the one to exercise but through her shirt I could feel tiny muscles.

"Hold on" I said grabbing the remote for my stereo and turned it on. Some crap was playing on the radio station. I didn't care, I'm a teenage guy with a hot girl in my room music isn't my first priority. When I turned back Shannon was leaning back on her arms. I went back to wrap my arms around Shann, we lay down on the bed and she ran her fingers through my hair. I guess the music was on to loud or something because my dad came in the room when we making out.

"Adam!"

"Dad! I was uh."

Shannon sat up immediately her hair was kind of messy from lying down; my hair was messy because Shannon was running her fingers through it.

"Maybe you should uh, keep the, hem, door open Adam."

"Yea, all right." My dad left, Shannon moved to the side of the bed.

"Your not going to be in trouble are you? Maybe I should go. No in fact going is good, I'm gonna go."

"No, don't go! I'm not going to be in trouble, why would I? We're both 18." I said throwing myself over the bed and grabbing for her hand.

"I'm sorry it's just been the first time that someone walked in.on well, you know." Jeez Shann was being cute.

Shannon sat down on the bed next to me and leaned down and kissed me. "I still think that I should go, but I'll call you when I get home."

"Don't go." I pulled Shannon down and kissed her again. I'm not used to being this forward, she's just, I don't know, I just really like her.

Shannon pulled away, "no Adam I should go, I said I would call Guy later, and then Cher."

"Ok fine"

"You can keep my notes if you want."

"No thanks I've got them all."

"Ok."

***

In the car Shann leaned her head against my shoulder, I really like that middle seat in the front idea. When we got to her house she kissed me quickly and left the car. *** When I got home my dad was waiting for me by the door.

"Hi dad." His face was creepy and calm, there was almost anger there but he had that sweaty "my son got a girl pregnant," look on his face.

"Adam, is that your friend Fulton's sister?"

"Yes."

"Is she your, ahem, girlfriend?

"Yes"

"Oh"

"Do you have a problem with her?"

"No, she looks like a nice girl. That's my point, you're a nice guy, she's a nice girl, you don't have to do things like that behind doors."

Would you rather me do it on the kitchen table? I really felt like saying that, instead I just nodded

"She's not going to interfere with your hockey is she? Or your school work? Because Adam you know you have a lot of potential, you could be spotted by a scout!"

"I know dad, but can't I do something that has no relation to hockey or school, I want a life you know!"

"Don't take that tone Adam! Yes you can but you have to know how to balance, and you have this new person in your life, that's just one more thing on your plate!"

My mom walked into the front hall. "Adam your father say's that you have a girlfriend?"

I couldn't help but grin. "Yea I do."

"Was she the girl that went upstairs with you?"

"Yes."

I could feel my parents slowly close in on me. I'm not used to being attacked because of behavior with a girl.It's usually James. He's a man slut.

"She was lovely. Don't get her pregnant." It was amazing how fast my mom could go from sweet and motherly to paranoid.

"Thanks mom, real supportive. I said out loud. //I'm not James.// I eased my way out of the front entrance and tried to get to my room as fast as I could.

Shannon's POV

After Adam dropped me off at my house I went to my room and called Guy. Guy was one of my best friends, Connie used to get kind of jealous, but now she's totally fine, I consider her one of my better friends. She's one of the only "jocks" who hangs out with Cher, Di, Val and myself.

Guy answered the phone. "Guy's house of love."

"Eww, don't answer the phone like that. That freaks the hell out of me."

"So are you shackn' it up with Banksie?"

"Gee Guy way to be subtle."

"And yes I am dating him. Oh wanna hear something weird?"

"Not if it has to do with Adam's body."

"No but if you must know his bod is fabulous. But that's besides the point, we were making out on his bed and his dad walked in on us."

"Why would you imagine I would want to know about that? Never speak to me again."

When either Guy or myself say's anything like that we take it literally.

"Ok, I'm tired of the silence keep talking."

"Actually I have nothing more to say. Other than Adam, nothing happens. Oh wait I went shopping for Christmas presents."

"Really, what did you get me."

"Nothing. Of course I did, but I'm not going to tell you."

"Hey, how do you think Charlie will react to Adam being your boyfriend?"

"For all I care he can hump a log and get slivers."

"Good attitude."

"Well I have to go now cause Connie is here."

"Ok, and I have to phone Adam."

We both said bye simultaneously.
