The locket rests in my hand, and I can't take my eyes off it. It's the most thoughtful and meaningful gift I've ever gotten in my life. My free hand finds his, and I interlock my fingers with his. He'll never know what he's just done...

He's proved that all the things I feel about him are true... All the things I think about him are true... Ulysses never had to show such care, but the fact that he chose to means so much more...

"I'm glad that you like it... It took me a while to find a guy anywhere near Holden that could do something like this, but a couple of towns over, there was a guy who's a jeweler. He makes things like this..."

I couldn't imagine this being cheap... It's made out of pure silver, and he knows that I love silver more than any other metal. It's literally my favorite metal.

"Ulysses... I love you. And I'm going to show you just how much I love you. When we get our room, we're not leaving until I know that you know I love you. This is the next step in our relationship."

He doesn't know that when you show a woman how much you mean to her and love her. It's the best aphrodisiac. I'm a girl that isn't afraid to talk dirty or do dirty things with Ulysses.

But after today, we're going to the place that every couple eventually goes to. And it's even better since I'm getting his first time, and he's getting my first time. I don't want to sound like a clingy psycho, but Ulysses and I are going to be together forever.

I look up from the locket in my hand and at Ulysses. He's looking down and has a very small smile on his face. But it's from how much I love his gift... I know it is... He looks at me, and our eyes lock, and a burning fire starts inside me.

"Umm... I've been trying to think about this moment between us for a long time, y'know... Thinking about how it's going to... Fit..."

He's a great man for worrying about something like that... But it's going to happen, and even when it hurts. The pain will fade, and we'll both be feeling good. I part my hair around my neck and hand him the locket.

"Put it on me before we go in... I want to have it on me when we're up there..."

It doesn't take him long to get it on me, and I know that I'm never going to take this off unless I have to. I look at him and give him a look that says it all. I'm the first to open my door.

He follows suit and gets out of the car with me. We walk side by side and hand in hand to the entrance of The Holiday Inn. He has to duck ever so slightly to get through the front doors, and as we walk up to the front desk.

A nice older woman stands up and puts on her glasses. I'd say she's around 65. She clears her throat and stares at Ulysses. A little intimidated by his size.

"If you're both here to check out a room, I'll need to see some ID first. Letting two minors into a hotel room together isn't something I can do in good conscious."

On the inside, I'm jumping for joy, cause I'm 18, and so is Ulysses. Meaning there isn't anything she can do to stop us. We both pull out our IDs and hand them to her. She picks them up and inspects them. Looking at my birthday more specifically.

"Well... You're 18 today, so I can't stop either of you... I'm getting too old for this..."

She gives us back our IDs and hands us our room keys after I pay her. Ulysses tried, but I stopped him. This place was my idea, so I'm the one paying.

We enter the elevator that leads to our floor, and I wrap around his side as the elevator slowly ascends. My heart is racing, and I'd bet his heart would be like mine if I could hear Ulysses's. We exit the elevator, and we walk down the hall.

Standing in front of the door... I slowly enter the keycard... The room opens up, and a large single king-size bed and a TV fill my eyes immediately, along with some things you'd find in Hotel rooms.

"This is it!"

I can't help being happy, excited, and nervous about this. Today is the day Ulysses and I have sex. He's making a woman out of me, and I'm making a man out of him.
