Chapter 11: Date Night

It's Tuesday and we're unfortunately back at school. Beth is at home sick today and Brian decided to stay and take care of her like a good brother. After school, we decided to go bowling, which Beth was not happy about. Jerrico and Brian are going to switch off after school and we're going bowling.

"We haven't been bowling since the seventh grade," Ariel says, sounding excited.

"I know! I wonder if I still got it," I say giving a little dance.

Danny laughs and throws his arm over my shoulder. "Baby, sorry to tell you, but you never had it."

I gasp in mock hurt, swatting at his shoulder. "Rude, you know I killed it! If I remember correctly, I even beat you a few times."

"If you say so," he says, rolling his eyes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

School is finally over and I can happily say that I think our problems with Claira have been solved. She was dressed in sweats, a hoodie, and some sneakers and she walked with a limp. When she saw me for the first time since Friday, she had complete and absolute fear written on her features. I felt kind of bad for going off on her, but at least she won't be an issue anymore.

We decided to head to Beth and Brian's to give them their work and work on it together. We finished around six o'clock PM and decided to head out to the bowling alley.

"It sucks that you can't come with us," Ariel says to Beth while I stroke her hair.

"I know! We'll have to go again when I don't feel like death," Beth replies.

"We'll miss you, babes," I tell her, leaning to give her a kiss on the top of her head.

"Don't have too much fun without me," she pouts.

"We will," Brian says, coming into the room and leaning to give his sister a hug.

"Jerk," she replies, but gives in and hugs him back.

"Take care of my sister, bro," he says to Jerrico.

"Always," he quickly responds.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ha! I got a strike! Beat that losers," I yell out, doing a victory dance.

Brian and I are currently tied with 186 points while Ariel and Danny are tied with 170 points.

"Not for long! I'm coming for you," Brian says, doing the throat slice thing or whatever it is.

"Y'all are taking this way too seriously," Ariel says and Danny nods in agreement.

The two of us just glare at them.

"You're just jealous of our mad skills," Brian says, snapping his fingers in a zig zag.

We laugh and continue the game.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"How the hell did you beat all of us," Brian asks his girlfriend in shock.

"I was waiting to finish y'all off. You know, let you tire yourselves out and then come in for the kill," she says with a smirk.

"I swear, you do this every time," I say, rolling my eyes and wrapping my arms around Danny's waist.

He just laughs and leans down to kiss the top of my head.

We're on our way to Danny's car so he can take us all home. He's dropping Brian and Ariel off at his house and then we're going to his. I told my parents I was staying at Beth's because they aren't going to let me stay at Danny's if they know his dad isn't home.

We laugh and talk about random things all the way to the White household.

"Bye guys! Love you," I say, getting out to give them quick hugs.

"Love you too boo," Ariel says, returning the hug. She then pulls me to the side and says, "Are y'all gonna do it tonight?"

"I don't know, maybe. I feel like I'm ready, but I don't know," I tell her honestly.

"When the moment comes, you'll know," she gives me a reassuring smile and another hug, then lets me go and heads inside with Brian.

Danny and I get back into his car and head to his house.

"You wanna cuddle and watch a movie," he asks while opening the front door.

"Yeah, that sounds good," I tell him with a small smile.

I feel so shy right now and I don't know why. We've hung out at his house alone plenty of times, but I guess this is the first time I'm staying over with no one here.

Once we reach his room I set my overnight bag by his door and jump on his bed, bouncing before settling.

He shakes his head at me and then goes into his closet. He comes back in only shorts and hands me his shirt, knowing that I like to sleep in his clothes. I don't even think and just strip my clothes off. Once his shirt is settled on my body, I look up and he is eying me with hunger in his eyes.

"Sorry," I squeak out.

He shakes his head, closes his eyes, and takes a deep breath. When he opens his eyes again, he looks calmer. He hops into bed and gets under the covers, with me following suit. I immediately mold myself to his side, throwing my leg over his abdomen.

We settle on watching the Hangover and about thirty minutes in, I move my legs and accidentally graze him, making him gasp out.

"Sorry," I squeak out again and quickly sit up.

"It's fine, you're just making it really hard not to just throw you down on this bed and have my way with you," he tells me while closing his eyes and taking another deep breath, making me blush a deep red at his words.

I blush an even deeper red when I say, "Just do it then."

His eyes snap open and he looks at me in shock.

"What," he asks me, probably thinking he didn't hear me correctly.

I somehow gain the courage to repeat what I said.

"I said, do it then."

He sits up and looks at me with caution.

"Are you sure because once I start I don't know if I'll be able to stop," he tells me with warning.

"I'm sure," I tell him, throwing my leg over him to straddle him and then lean down to kiss him.

He responds immediately, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer for a deeper kiss. He breaks us apart for only a moment to pull the shirt over my head and then brings me back down to his mouth.

He flips us over so he's now on top and slowly kissing his way down my neck and in between my breast, making me moan loudly. He smiles against my skin and makes his way further down my body. He pulls my underwear off and gets me ready for him. He sits up to take his shorts off and then comes back in for a kiss. He lines himself up with my entrance and then takes me to heaven and back.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We're laying in each others arms with the sheets tangled around us. I'm laying on his chest rubbing circles on his stomach.

"What you thinking about in that beautiful head of yours," he asks my while playing with my hair.

I look up at him and give him a smile. "I'm just thinking about how happy I am and how much I love you."

He gives me a smile back and leans down to give me a kiss and mumbles, "I love you too," against my lips.

We lay in each other's arms, deliriously happy, and don't even realize that we forgot to use a condom.
