January 10th

January 10th not long after New Year's, he asked me to be his girlfriend. It wasn't some thoughtful planned ordeal, but more of a simple relaxed situation. We both stayed home because we were "sick" so he picked me up and brought me to his place. We spent the day lazily laying around, enjoying each other's company when Reese sat up and murmured something I couldn't quite understand I asked him "what did you say?" he then turned, his face inches away from mine, staring lovingly into my eyes asked "Can I be your boyfriend?" I grabbed his face, which was soft, and smooth, and kissed him sweetly. "Yes you can be my boyfriend" I replied. He then bombarded me with kisses. I had never been in love before so all these feelings were new to me. Sure, plenty of people have asked me out before but there was something about Reese that made me fall in love. Even still, I was determined to put my best foot forward when it came to him because he was the sweetest, kindest person who actually listened for once. They say men always get you like that in the beginning but I didn't think about it too much because I was finally happy. Eventually he took me home, my parents were out on the front porch smoking cigarettes. My mom thanked him for taking care of me to which he responded "It's my job" and I swear, I melted into a puddle the second I stepped into my bedroom, and shut the door.
