This chapter is a little longer, hope you like it!
You know that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when someone kisses you? I didn't until Carlos had kissed me. Sure I had dated plenty of boys before, but that feeling never emerged before. I spent the whole next day just replaying the moment in my head, trying to decipher how I felt about Carlos. I finally realized that I was truly falling head over heels for this boy when he texted me the following morning.
C: Good morning beautiful! ;)
A: Well good morning to you too! :D
C: So I was thinking that we should hang out today! Sound fun?
A: Absolutely! What're we gonna do?
C: You'll see ;). What's your address? I'll be there in an hour to pick you up!
I sent my address to him and jumped out of bed for the first time that day. An hour was not enough time for me to get ready! I turned on the hot water in my shower and quickly jumped in. After my shower I turned on my straightened and went to my huge closet to pick out something to wear. Looking among all of my clothes was so overwhelming. It seemed like my closet had tripled in size since yesterday and I had NO clue what to wear! I finally settled on a cute purple sleeveless dress that went down to mid thigh. I don't want to look like a scrub while hanging out with my crush!
I went back into the bathroom and straightened my extremely wavy hair and put on some gold eye shadow and purple eyeliner. My doorbell rang a couple minutes later, signaling that Carlos was here. I slipped on my gold flats, grabbed my phone and wallet, and opened the door to greet him.
Seeing him standing at my door was a huge blow to my chest, causing me to stumble back a bit. He looked so sexy in his tight muscle shirt and white shorts, and I couldn't help but stare.
"You alright Angie? You look like you just saw a ghost" He said grinning
I looked up at his face and couldn't stop myself from turning bright red. I had to watch my actions around him or he might think I'm a creepy stalker or something…
"Oh, haha sorry, it's just different having such a sexy guy standing on my doorstep." Shit. Did I just say that out loud? The look on his face confirmed my answer and I slapped my hand on my mouth turning bright red once again.
Carlos winked at me and took my hand in his, pulling me out the door. "Well it's different for me to be standing at the door of an extremely pretty girl!" Would I ever not be blushing around him? I was starting to doubt it as I turned red for the 3rd time in 5 minutes.
We hopped into his jeep and drove off towards the beach. "So what have you got in store for us today, Carlos?" I asked jokingly
"Well, first we are going to go to the beach!" He exclaimed. Oh the benefits of living in southern Cali…
The beach wasn't that far from my house so we arrived about 10 minutes later. He quickly jumped out and ran to my side of the jeep to open the door for me. "Well thank you sir." I giggled as he kissed my hand before twining our fingers together.
"Anytime, Malady." He winked giving me some major butterflies.
When we reached the shore, I slipped off my flats and starting walking through the shallow part of the water. He stood watching me for a minute before slipping off his Vans and walking over to join me. After a while, he playfully kicked some water at me, getting the bottom of my dress soaked. "Hey!" I squeal as I kick water back at him.
That started off the small war, and by the end we were both nearly soaking wet. I started walking over to the dry sand to dry off, but before I could reach it Carlos threw me over his shoulder and walked back into the water. I was kicking and screaming for him to put me down, and he finally did, but he dropped me right into the water. Now he was going to get it!
I jumped on his back as he was walking away laughing at me, and dragged him underwater. I danced around in victory, but was stopped short when he grabbed my ankles and pulled me under with him. We both came up giggling and eventually got out to dry off.
"Well that has got to be the most fun I've had at the beach, we should…" I trailed off when he pulled his shirt off. I looked at his defined abs and had to stop myself from drooling. He was so fucking sexy, and I was positive I would never get over that.
"We should what?" He grinned as he shook his hair to dry it off.
"We should do that again sometime!" I say I fall over in laughter. I didn't even know what was funny! I was just making a fool of myself right in front of Carlos!
I couldn't stop myself from laughing and he eventually started laughing at me while I grabbed my sides that were starting to cramp up. I hadn't laughed that much in so long. I finally stopped laughing when I made eye contact with Carlos and he leaned down to kiss me. This time I had time to process what was about to happen and I automatically kissed him back. I could feel him grinning which made me giggle again. He pulled away looking a little confused. "Am I that bad of a kisser?" he asked looking a little hurt.
I stopped giggling. "No, Carlos, you a wonderful kisser."
His confused expression to one of joy as he lifted me off the ground and twirled me in a circle. Before he put me back down he brought his lips back to mine and we stood there kissing.
He pulled away when he couldn't hold his breath any longer, and we both started walking back to his jeep hand in hand. I grabbed my shoes on the way, and he threw his shirt over his shoulder.
"Where to now?" I ask joyfully
"Hm… Are you hungry?" He finally responded
I realized I hadn't eaten anything all day and my stomach seemed to answer before I could with a loud growl.
He laughed at me, "I'll take that as a yes!"
On the way to get something to eat I was thinking about how lucky I was to be spending the day with Carlos. He was one of the sweetest guys I had ever met, and I was so glad I got the chance to meet him. I was falling for him more and more as the minutes passed, and I never wanted this day to end.
We finally arrived at a cute little restaurant down the beach and walked inside. The waitress happily took us to a table in the corner and handed Carlos a menu.
"I need a menu too." I sounded a little confused.
She turned around, "Oh, right. Here you go." She tossed it on the table in front of me as she turned and walked away.
"What the hell was that about?" Carlos asked me
"I really have no idea." I reply as I look towards her again. To my surprise she was staring right at Carlos with a hungry look in her eyes. She walked back over to our table to ask what we wanted to drink, and Carlos seemed completely oblivious to the fact that she was staring at him like he was a piece of candy.
"Take a picture, it'll last longer." I mutter under my breath. Carlos looked at me confused and the waitress glared at me. Before I knew it, she was towering over me and slapped me across the face. I wasn't even sure what the hell that was for so I stood up and shoved her. I was lucky enough to push her right into a table so she toppled over and landed on the floor with a thud. I grabbed Carlos's hand and pulled him outside to the jeep.
"Okay, what the hell?" he asked after hopping into his jeep and looked me in the eyes.
"That bitch was staring at you like a piece of candy, and I guess I got jealous." I blurted out.
He looked at me with sympathy, "You don't need to be jealous Angie. You are the prettiest girl I have ever met."
That made me blush so I quickly wrapped my arms around him, squeezing him into a hug. "Thank you." I whispered into his shoulder.
I pulled away and smiled at him. "Let's get you home, beautiful." He smiled back
When we pulled into my driveway it was nearly 10 at night. He got out and opened my door for me and walked me to my door. We stood there for a couple of minutes, not saying anything and he finally whispered, "I don't want to leave yet."
"Then don't," I smiled at him, "It's late anyways, why don't you just stay the night?"
My question seemed to have caught him off guard, but he quickly recovered, "Thanks!" I pulled him inside and led him up to the guest room so he could change and go to sleep.
"See you in the morning!" I smiled as I turned to walk out.
"Wait!" he yelped and got off the bed, "I almost forgot…"
He leaned down to kiss me, and the fireworks in my head were unbelievable. After a minute of standing there with our lips pressed together, moving in sync, I pulled away and trudged off to my room. The last thing I thought about before I slipped into a deep sleep was Carlos. There was no doubt I was falling for him, and falling for him hard.
I'm not really sure where i'm going with this story, so if any of you have an idea of a dramatic event that could happen, would you let me know? I don't want to give up on this one just yet. :) Thanks!
