The Boy I Fell For

"Anna it's time to get up! You need to fix your sleeping schedule"  my mom yelled at me as if she didn't know I was up.

"Mother I am up, I don't appreciate being yelled at this early in the morning" I said to her as I poked my head out my door.

I got dressed putting on a bold short red dress. I went downstairs to put my black lace high top shoes on and walked over to the fridge "You're not wearing that out on a Saturday in the afternoon. now, are you?" She said while she walked up to me

I turned around and looked at her dead in the eyes " Mother I'm 17! I know how to dress. I know what is appropriate and what isn't. Besides if you really didn't like the dress you wouldn't have bought it for me" I said with a giggle as I closed the fridge.

"sweetheart I have nothing wrong with the dress. I just have a bad feeling with you wearing that outfit the first time you go out and make a new impression"

" yes lily I get that but I am my own person you can make your impression, and I can make mine"

If you didn't catch on Lily is my mother's name. yes, she is my mom but she's also my best friend. Some people think it's disrespectful to call their parents by their first name but my mother doesn't get bothered by it. We have a strong relationship I tell her everything because I can count on her.

"OK I guess you're right," she said as she walked up the stairs

"OK, so I'll see you later! I'm gonna go out and explore. before I have to start my new school in 4 days. Love ya"

I walked out to the garage and grabbed my car keys and hit the road. I wanted to get a good and well-known experience. so I parked my car on the side of the street and walked around till I found something that caught my attention.

As I was walking along the sidewalk I saw a small coffee shop five minutes away from my school. so I thought nothing could harm me to go in and try a cup of coffee. I ordered a small iced coffee with lots of ice. I turned around and as I walked out the door of the coffee shop I tripped over my own feet. Luckily there was a handsome dashing man that caught my fall. unfortunately, my ice coffee was nowhere to be found other than all over his nice blue shirt.

"oh my God I am so so sorry, I'm such an idiot I didn't see you there" I looked up at him and we locked eyes

"sweetheart you should really watch where you're going, but here let me get you a new cup of coffee,"  he said to me as I focused my eyes on him all embarrassed

"That was all my fault trust me, I'm such a clumsy person. I should really watch where I walk and who I walk into. Here I'll give you my number and I'll clean your shirt for you. I have an old sweater in my car. come with me" I said as I walk towards my car and pulled him gently

"Really it's ok I can fix it" he said as he smiled at me

"No sir it's really not ok. I'm very sorry for ruining your shirt. My car is just up here."

"I'm Anna by the way and it's nice to meet you but I wish it was on better terms"

"Don't be silly sweetheart, I'm jack, and it is lovely to meet you as well"

We shook hands and I looked up at his eyes. his blue bright eyes.  I couldn't help myself from staring at him. He was so handsome and the way he caught me I still haven't adjusted. His arms pressing up against mine and his chest catching my fall. I couldn't stop staring at him. All I could do was replay the way he caught me in the back of my head.

I kept staring at him. I lost track of what I was supposed to be doing or where I was supposed to be going. We were right beside the car and I tripped and hit my head on the ground really hard. He got down and looked at me and I went to get up as if I was ok.

his face met mine and so did his lips. I closed my eyes and as he kissed me I didn't want to stop.  After a few seconds, he pulled away. I open my eyes and I looked up at him and he was staring at me.

"I'm so sorry I didn't mean to" he cut me off and helped me get up

He kept his eyes on mine the whole time "shhh it's ok, you taste very good Anna" 

I was so confused I thought he would be mad but instead, he wasn't he told me that I tasted good. I didn't know how to respond all I could do was stare at him.

I Immediately changed the conversation. "So how about we get you that shirt so you can be on your way"  I walked away but it didn't take him long to pull me back.  He grabbed my wrist, pulled me to him, and kiss me one last time. I pulled away from his touch I didn't wanna get attached.

"Jack as much as I love kissing you even though we've only done it twice. I should really be going" I said as I open the car door and gave him a sweatshirt. he took his shirt off and put the sweater on.

"you could have changed in the bathroom," I told him looking weirded out

"well I know that but I liked seeing your reaction a lot better. you know you don't have to leave yet you could stay with me" I rolled my eyes as he tried to flirt with me

"well jack thank you for the offer but I'll call you when your shirt is clean"

Even though I just met him I felt oddly comfortable. saying anything, doing anything or just being my Clumsy self. I felt very calm in his presents and I didn't want that to go away. But I knew I had to go home.

I got in the car and drove away. As I drove home I was thinking about how wonderful he tasted and how bad I wanted to kiss him again. I knew I couldn't I had to stay focused on school. I didn't want to let my mom down again.

I got home went inside and put his shirt in the laundry. I did my best to get the stain out. A few hours later I called Jack and told him that he could come over and get his shirt back. I gave him my address and he said he would be on his way to come over.

"Mom just want to let you know a guy is coming over to get his shirt. there was an accident at the coffee shop and I stained his shirt with my coffee so I decided I would wash it for him and he's coming over to get it"

"Ok Anna I'm going out anyways I need to go get some groceries I'll be back in a few hours"

"Ok mom love you have fun, don't get lost"

I went into the living room turned on the TV and watched the office. I waited for jack to come over and get his shirt. I got up because I heard the doorbell ring and I thought it would be jack so I went and got his shirt folded it put it on the table and went to open the door.

"Hey, Jack! come in I put your shirt on the table"

He followed me to the kitchen table. where his shirt was I picked up turned around and I gave it to him. with a cute but small smile.

"again so sorry for the coffee Incident it was totally my fault"

"Sweetheart don't sweat it. I got to meet you so I'm glad it happened"

I went to speak but he put his hand on my lips. I gave him a very obvious eye roll and took his hand and I took it off my lips.

"jack your bold but I really can't right n-"

he cut me off before I could end my sentence "go out with me anna," he said looking very confident. Instead of answering him right away I stared into his blue eyes and thought about all the possibilities. I wanted to but I knew it was too good to be true and I had to focus on school.

I heard a really loud sound at the front door and it was my mom. We both jumped from the loud sound. "Oh hey mom this is Jack the one I told you I spilled coffee on" she laughed

"Hey jack I'm Lilly, Anna's mom it's nice to meet you"

"It is lovely to meet you Ms. Smith I don't want to interrupt you guys. so I must be going"

"OK, yeah I can walk you out, Jack"

I grabbed his shirt and walked him out to the door but I didn't stop there. I walked all the way to his car so my mom wouldn't be able to hear us or see us. He pulled me in and went to kiss me one last time

I put my hand over my mouth so he couldn't kiss me, "Jack I don't know what this is. I'm not going to lie I like it, but this can't happen" I said looking up at him. his hand moved around to my back. I removed his hand and stood up properly

"you wanna play like that Anna. then we will," he said rolling his eye and giving me a big smile

"Jack what do you mean by that" he got in his car but before he drove away he looked at me holding up my car keys.

"I guess you'll text me later so we can get coffee, and you can get your car key back"

"Jack this isn't funny, you're not a five-year-old get back here with my car keys"  I yelled as he drove away.

Later that night... I realized the only thing I could do to get my car keys back would be to go have coffee with him. so I texted him and told him what time to pick me up in the morning and I got ready for bed.
