They were walking around hand in hand for a little while, talking about anything that crossed their minds. He was a sweet guy and she felt good. When she saw some girls turn their heads to get an extra look at him, after all he was very handsome, she couldn't help but feel proud that she was the one holding his hand. They ended up downtown and walked around while looking at the shops.
"Do you like ice cream?" He asked.
"Yeah," she answered and gave him a big smile.
He dragged her to the ice cream shop.
"What flavour?" He asked.
"Uh... Can I have two? Banana and coffee," she answered.
"I love when a girl isn't afraid to eat unhealthy in front of a guy," he said and went to buy ice cream for them both.
They found a bench and sat down with their ice creams. All in all it had been a great afternoon so far and she was happy that she had gone to see him. They finished their ice creams in silence.
"Can I walk you home?" He asked.
"Sure," she answered.
He took her hand again. This time she was the one leading him since he had no idea where she lived. They finally got there and stopped in front of her door.
"You're a funny girl," he said.
"Is that good or bad?" She asked.
"Good," he answered and laughed. "I noticed yesterday that you like to talk in songs."
"Yes, it just seems easier to put on a song that expresses how you feel," she said.
He suddenly burst out singing.
I'm gonna getcha while I gotcha in sight
I'm gonna getcha if it takes all night
She started laughing. He stopped singing. He put his hands on her hips, pulled her close and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around him, holding him tight, afraid that he might disappear if she let go of him. He pulled his face a bit away from her and smiled at her.
"I've been wanting to do that all day," he said.
She smiled back at him.
"Do you wanna come inside?" She asked.
"You have no idea how bad I wanna say yes but I'm not sure if it's a good idea," he answered.
She stopped smiling and hung her head a bit.
"I understand," she said with a hint of sadness in her voice.
The bad thoughts came back in an instant. Why would he want her? After all, she had slept with his cousin and everyone else he had met since he got here. He lifted up her chin.
"Hey, it's not like that," he said.
"Like what?" She asked.
"I can see in your face what you're thinking. It's not like that. I wanna do this right and I'm afraid that if I go in with you that I won't be able to keep my hands to myself," he said.
"So don't," she said.
"I don't want you to go back into your bad habits. I am not some random guy wanting to get laid. I want you, all of you, and I want you to feel safe around me," he said and kissed her again.
She kissed him back and then pulled back a bit.
"I do feel safe around you. I've never felt like this before. I don't want to let you go," she said.
She could see in his eyes that he was debating in his mind what to do.
"Ah, fuck this," he said and squeezed her tight while kissing her.
She found the keys in her pocket and unlocked the door. She went inside and he followed her.
