Chapter 56 (EPOV)
Tonight was the night. Oh god.
We were going to do it. Play it smooth, man, play it smooth.
Marriage. right. Wait till wedding. But, she was so pretty. Look how carefully she's driving her death trap to keep me safe.
Oh my. She's a lip biter. I knew that, right? Just look at her go to town nibbling it. I wanted a taste.
I could feel my breath coming out harder as I stared at her. Emmett slipped a condom in my wallet as a joke. I thought it would make a good water balloon, but it had a higher purpose now.
"Are you getting car sick?" She gave me an odd look.
I squeaked in the manliest way possible, "No!"
I grabbed her hand. "What are we doing?"
"You're certainly eager. I'm going to show you something." She smirked.
Her naked body.
I felt hot. The idea of her made me feverish. I wonder if she had some Tylenol.
I wonder if all of her was soft as a down filled pillow.
Was she taking me to a hotel? A hotel with roses and candles. The smooth sounds of Kenny G playing in the background as our bodies are joined for the first time.
She should have a ring on her finger!
Wait! I have rubber band in my back pocket. Pledging our love under the moonlight would work! Right?
We drove down a dirt road towards Old Mr. Miller's farm.
"There isn't a Holiday Inn around here!"
"What?" She asked looking over at me in confusion.
"There doesn't seem to be a chill in the air!" I lied.
She pulled up next to Old Mr. Millie's duck pond. The reflection of the moon lit the smooth surface. It was making me feel poetic. It made me feel amorous. It made me feel like I was going to last approximate a second.
"I thought we could hang out here."
I was going to become a man under the stars. Wasn't it romantic?
