We drive closer to where the bonfire is , Jared parks the car directly at the entrance to walk down to the beach. I watch the other La Push groups talk and mingle to each other each of the boys I knew has neighbours and some my brothers friend. Many may think all Native Americans tribes are based on tradition and our was kind of we loved coming down under the full moon this time of year to celebrate our ancestors and just to have fun hanging out with our friends. Jared turns off the engine and then climbs out to open my door it surprised me how gentlemen like he was and yet it didn't't.
It was cold and I began to shiver, Jared put his arm around me causing me to warm up quickly.
" Do you want me to get a blanket?". He asked with a small worrying expression, I nod gently even though I already warmer than before. Jared walked to the trunk of the car and pulled out a flask and reds striped blanket. He then took hold of my hand bringing me to where he wanted us to sit, it was directly on the sand he sat down and then pulled be down beside him spreading the blanket out around us. It felt comfortable and safe sitting next him. I then noticed the moon looked fuller sitting here while the stars sparkled in the dark sky .
Jared looked down at me and spoke softly. " They amazing aren't they". I nod softly, " Yeah they are…". he looks happily at me. " Have you enjoyed tonight". I giggle and then turn red thank god for the night sky , " Yes a lot this is really good to". He then pulls me so that I am now resting neatly between his legs, leaning me back into his chest I can fell his heart beat racing beneath my back. " Me too…a lot. I'm shocked you said yes". He laughs embarrassed at himself. I look at him not able to believe what he just said. " Why wouldn't I not go out with you?". he looks at the bonfire then to me, " Your way out of my league". All I could was laugh out of his league was he being serious, he was handsome no scrap that beautiful and perfect at the same time. " What's so funny, I'm pathetic aren't I?". I shake my head, " Nope, your perfect". I say honestly. He then looks serious again,
" I'm sorry I didn't notice you before, it was due to my lack of brain cells". I laugh lightly at his joke he wasn't stupid in fact he was actually really smart top of our class. Jared then leans in closer to me his burning into me, " I hope you'd consider going out with me on more than one date"
I suddenly feel warmer like I had bats in my stomach butterflies didn't compared to them. I just looked up at him and nodded excitingly. " I would really like that". He laughs at my excitement, " Me too, very much". I looked down again with embarrassment but I don't think that's it, I've waited a long time for him to notice me and now he does. I feel invincible and amazed by how things can change so quickly, I feel right like he is defiantly the other part of me.
We sit there until it's time for me to head home. Has we drove to my house I felt him staring at me and I liked it, the truck pulled up outside my house .I noticed the light on in my living room probably my mom waiting up for me.
Jared and me walked to my front door him holding my hand softly as we did, I stood there shy not knowing what to say but are eyes said it all his brown exotic eyes where just staring lovingly at mine. I then reached to open my front door to be pulled into a lip lock by him, this time his lips where urgent yet surprisingly soft taking his time . I enjoyed every second of it.
Jared then slowly pulled away from him with a glad expression, " I want you to know I had a really great time tonight. Thanks for coming out with me". his voice soft and kind. I look up at him with a smile. "I enjoyed it too…". I notice how he Looks round to my window and then to me . " I'll see you tomorrow…". I laugh knowing that my mom is probably staring out. " Great". I watched has he walked down my porch steps still staring at me with a big smile, that's when he stumbles and then regains his balance. He lets out a flustered laugh.
Tonight was great for my first ever date I'd received my first kiss by the boy who I'd had a crush on for a very long time. Movie, first kiss and moonlight bonfire. It was like a dream and him holding my hand the whole time felt amazing I felt in a small bubble safe and in no rush to explode then again maybe I should run onto the top my roof and scream Jared Pelletier likes me he really likes me and then smile brightly like the sun in the sky.
