So if you can or can't see all of my cahpters tell in reviews.. And here's the new chapter, I wrote it in a hurry cuz my train leaves in about an hour and I still haven't packed so sorry about the mistakes! Love you and review.
The kiss
I looked as Amy played the french horn in front of hundreds of people. I was sitting in the back of the room in the shadows where no one could see me. First of all I didn't want any other awkward meetings with my ex-girlfriend or ex-friends or whatever. And I liked the fact that I could see Amy perfectly, while she couldn't find me in the audience.
As their performance was starting to end, I sneaked out to the back door, where I knew they would come out. The camp employees were selling flowers in front of the auditorium and I picked out a beautiful purple rose that I felt was great gift for Amy and then I waited for Amy to come out.
When she walked out she wasn't carrying her instrument, instead of there was two boys, her age, walking with her carrying her things. She had those two innocent boys wrapped around her fingers and she didn't even notice it. I just stood there watching her as she walked to me. First she didn't see me standing there, but then I whispered to her.
'Amy..' And by that she locked her eyes to mine and smiled. Her gazed wondered around and she looked at the rose in my hand and I handed it to her. We smiled to each other and didn't seem to remember those two boys were still there. They were standing behind Amy awkwardly like they weren't sure if they were supposed to be there anymore. I gave one look at them and it was enough for them to hand over Amy's things and walk quickly away from us.
"Hi.. thank you.." Amy said blushing, she was nervous, but it was cute.
"You were amazing, you are headed to great things I'm sure. You are so talented." I said and it was the truth, I really meant it.
"You're too kind. I wasn't that good." She said, though she knew that she was that good.
"Yes you were, and don't even try to deny it again. Hey do you wanna get out of here? Do something just the two of us?" I asked, because it felt right.
"Em, okay? Where would we go?" She answered hesitantly.
"I have this one place, I like to go. It's my quiet place, where I can think. Would that be good for you?" She agreed and we started walking. I carried her things and she smiled and talked about everything. About the camp and her family and starting high school. The walk was quick with us talking the whole time and soon I realized we were already there.
I hadn't ever brought anyone there. It was this lake, in the middle of the forest. There was a fallen tree that I used to sit against to. I took Amy there and we sat down and kept talking. Our conversation was so natural, we only had known each other for a day, but it felt like we had know each other for years.
She told me more about her family and her friends. She seemed to have the ideal life, she had her both parents, and they were together still. She had one sister, who she loved, though they fought time to time. She had two best friends, and they knew everything about each other. She was great at school and had plans to study music and playing french horn after high school. She had her whole life planned ahead.
I told her about my life, well I didn't tell everything. I didn't tell about my abusive dad, I told about my foster parents and siblings. I told her about school and my plans for future.
"Ricky, I was wondering if I could ask you about something?" Amy asked all of a sudden.
"Sure Amy, what is it?" I wasn't sure what she was going to ask, but she had very worried expression on her face.
"I've heard rumours, about you. They say that you have loads of girls and you sleep with them and then you just leave. Ricky is it true? Are you like that?" She asked, I felt like she was scared for my answer. But I wasn't about the lie to her now.
"I tried to fall for every one of them, but I just didn't. Maybe it's kind of platitude but I just haven't find the one yet." I said, trying to explain myself. "I wish I would though.." I whispered.
"Well am I one of those who you try to fall for, but then just leave? Or am I just a friend?" She asked, looking at me with her innocent eyes. I didn't know how to answer to her. She was a bet, but I couldn't tell her that. But she wasn't only a bet, she was something more. I could feel the connection between the two of us, it felt like she understood me perfectly. But what was I supposed to say, I wanted to tell her that I might actually fall for her. But then I'd be lying, because I might not.
I guess I wondered about my answer a bit too long, because she was getting up and leaving. "Rick, I don't wanna get played. I'm sorry, I'm just gonna go.." She was already walking away. I knew I couldn't promise her anything, but I also knew that this was the worst feeling ever, her walking away from me. I didn't want to feel it ever again.
"Amy wait!" I shouted and ran for her. I took her hand and looked into her eyes. "I can't promise you anything, because before I have, and then I've just let people down. But I can tell you this, I have never ever felt anything like this to anyone before. Please don't go. We can take it slow, not rush anything. Just slowly find out our feelings." I pleaded to her.
She smiled at me and nodded. "Okay Ricky, let's do that." And she hugged me, for a minutes we just stood there hugging. She looked up to see my eyes and suddenly our lips were just inches away from each other. I wanted to kiss her so badly but I didn't know if it was okay with her. I saw her leaning forward and that was the sign I was waiting for. I leaned forward and our lips finally met each other. It was a beautiful kiss, nothing like the ones I'd had in the past. It was slow and as we explored each other I had a weird feeling in my stomach, it wasn't necessarily a bad feeling, but it felt like fireworks where exploding in there.
Then after some time that felt like forever she leaned out of the kiss and gasped. I took her hand and leaded her back to our previous place. This time she sat on my lap and I was playing with her hair. This was nothing like the usual me, but it felt nice no matter what.
"So, that was amazing, huh?" I asked and smirked at her
"Yes, it was.." She said quietly. "It was actually my first kiss ever." She looked at me quickly and then looked away and hid her face, with that cutest way.
"Ames, don't hide your face. It's honour to be your first kiss, even though I can't believe that was your first kiss."
"Well yeah, it was my first kiss with a boy, of course there are the ones with my girlfriends." She joked and I smiled. She was beautiful and it was so hard for me to look away from her. Then I put my hands around her and stood up so that she was in my arms.
"So now that we have your first kiss over with, maybe we should get some other firsts over too." I smiled at her and immediately understood how wrong that sounded. And I saw that she was quite shocked and scared about what I was going to do.
"No, no, no, no I DID NOT mean that. I meant about me walking you back to your cabin. That would be my first time doing it." I tried to explain myself to the scared started laughing at me and and I put her back to the ground. "Don't laugh at me, it was an honest mistake of not thinking what I was going to say!" I gazed her with my serious face and she stopped laughing.
"Okay Ricky, okay. Now let me lead the way to my cabin." She took my hand and started to pull me to the other way than where we came from. I laughed and followed her. This night was perfect and she was perfect. Maybe I could keep her and still win the bet, I could not tell her about the bet at all. That would be perfect.
When we got to her cabin, there were three girls standing in front of it. They looked at as and one of them screamed "Amy Juergens, where have you been! We have been worried sick about you! God, you were with a boy!" And then she looked at me and her eyes widened, of course she recognized me, every girl at this camp did. "Amy, you'll have a lot of explaining to do!" She pulled Amy away from me and started leading her inside.
"Good nigh Ames, I'll see you tomorrow!" I'll shouted and she smiled at me
"Goodbye Ricky Underwood." Her friend gazed at me with an look that could kill. And I knew that was my hint to leave. I looked back at Amy one more time before running to my own cabing and jumping to my bed like a little girl to think about my evening with Amy. And about our kiss. The whole night I dreamed about her, she was smiling and laughing and running away from me and I tried to catch her, but I couldn't.
