I started to put on my dress, its blue with sparkles on it. It goes all the way to the floor, and its form fitting. I actually didn’t look as emo as I always do. I took out all my piercings and I straightened my hair so it looked normal. I don’t really like looking like this, but I want to prove that if I want to I can make my self look pretty and not like an emo Goth. 

As soon as I was completely ready I sat on my bed to wait for Aiden to come. He was here within ten minutes. I heard the chime of the door bell. I started to walk down the stairs as my mom let him in. 

“Wow, umm Elissa you look. Wow,” That’s all he could say. (Haha)

“Thanks, you look amazing yourself.” He had a tux on with a tie to match my dress, it was even sparkly. My mom took a few pictures of us and we left for the dance. His mom drove us. Neither of us can drive yet. But I have my permit. I’m not sure if he does.

After the dance we walked out side and sat on the bench, he hadn’t called his mom yet. I didn’t really want him to. It was going good so far and it’s nice to know that there is someone like me out in the world. I use to think I would end up alone because I was the odd person out, but now I know that there is someone for me and like me in this shitty world.

“So, what should we do now?” Aiden asked.

“Whatever you want to.” I looked at him and kissed his cheek. I started to turn my head away again and he pulled me back to him and kissed me. It started off just a slow kiss, we deepened it and he opened his mouth and ran his tongue along my bottom lip begging for entrance. I teased him a little and then let him in. His tongue explored every inch of my mouth. Then I heard someone clear their throat. It was Mr. Jackson our principle. 

“Ummmm Elissa did you ever finish that service learning idea for the school yet?” he asked.

“Uh yup, I’ll have it on your desk Monday morning”

“Okay thanks.”

“No problem.” I said and he walked away and I looked at Aiden and we both just started laughing.

“Well that was slightly awkward,” he said.

“Just a little want to go down to the park?”

“Sure why not?” he said and we got up and went to the park. 

“I used to play here with my dad when I was little.”

“Wow, where is your dad now?” I knew he was going to ask because I brought it up.

“He died last year of leukemia,” I kinda looked away; talking about my dad is a really hard subject. I was closer to my dad than I am my mom. He understood my problem mom never seemed to.

“Oh, I’m so sorry for bringing it up.”

“No it’s alright, I just hate that my mom seems to have forgotten him and just hooks up with a different random guy every week. It’s like she’s trying to replace my dad.”

“I’m really sorry Elissa.”

“It’s alright it’s not your fault. But sometimes I do wonder what would happen if I were to do something wrong that she does and then she what she has to say about it. Because she doesn’t know what it’s like living with her, she should live with someone who is just like her.”

“I don’t know what to say…” 

“You don’t have to say anything Aiden just be here for me and be someone for me to spill my feelings to.”

“Okay, I will always be here for you I promise.”

“Thanks,” I said and kissed him. I just wanted all of these thoughts to just wash away. Pretty soon he pulled away.

“You’re very welcome just promise me you won’t do anything stupid.”

“I won’t I promise, I love you to much.”

“Really?”

“Yes Aiden you are my world,” I brought him to my favorite place to sit.

In the morning I woke up to the sound of my phone vibrating on my bed side table. I looked at it and I was from Aiden, 

Elissa want to come over? my parents aren’t home and my mom or dad won’t care.

I wrote back saying,

Sure but you know my rule.

Aiden 

Of course baby I know. I won’t ever try anything until you are ready and you know that I already told you that.

Instead of replying I got up and got dressed my hair was still kinda straight from last night so I threw it up into a cute little pony tail, keeping my side bangs down. I put on a pair of jean short shorts and a purple shirt over a black tank top. I slipped on my black clogs and I headed across the street to Aiden’s house. I knocked on the door and waited. I never just walk in, that would be rude. He opened the door and just moved so I could walk in.

“Hey,” I said. Not knowing what else to say.

“Hi, so do you want to watch a movie or go up stairs or something?” He asked grabbing a blanket off the floor and putting it back on the couch.

“Ummmm sure what movie?”

“How about a Nightmare on Elm Street?”

“Sure’ but I’m not the biggest on scary movies so you’re going to have to sit close to me,” I lied I love scary movies, but you have to make the guy feel like he can protect you. So I figured that’s a good way to fake it.

“Of course baby I would do that anyway. I am here for you when you get scared,” he said as he grabbed the movie and put it in the DVD player. While he put the movie in I sat down on the couch and covered up with the blanket he threw on the couch. He grabbed the remote and pressed play and sat next to me and I cuddled him. During the whole movie I acted scared but I really wasn’t, it’s like the best movie ever. 

After the movie ended Aiden got up and took out the movie and turned on some television show that I don’t watch. 

“So when will your parents be home?”

“Next week they are in Japan on some business thing.”

“Oh, okay. So your home alone until then, that must suck.” I said.

“Nope because you’re here,” He smiled and kissed me soft but sweet. I kissed back we kissed for a while, until he started to move his hand up my thigh, I pulled away.

“Whoa Aiden you know my rules,” I was kinda panicky.

“Oh my god I’m sorry, really Elissa I didn’t mean to.”

“It’s fine, just stop for a minute. I need to go to the bathroom.”

“Okay, up the stairs to your right.”

“Thanks,” I stood up and moved the blanket off of me. I walked upstairs and to the right. I didn’t pay attention to anything. I didn’t really have to go to the bathroom I just wanted to get out for a minute. I looked at my self in the mirror I fixed my pony tail and adjusted my shirt. It’s not really that I’m not ready I just feel inexperienced. I love Aiden to death it’s just that he’s done this before and I haven’t. I don’t want to rush it anyway. We haven’t been dating that long either. I don’t know what to do but I have to go back down there. I opened the door and walked back down. Short shorts probably weren’t my best idea.

“Sorry had to fix my face.”

“It’s fine, so what do you want to do?”

“Doesn’t matter,” I sat back next to him and rested my head on his shoulder.

“Okay well we can just watch this for now I guess.”

“Okay.”

“What time do you have to be home?”

“Doesn’t matter I don’t have a curfew on the weekends.”

“Oh okay. Would your mom let you spend the night?”

“I’m sure she wouldn’t care. I’ll text her and ask her.” I grabbed my phone from my pocket.

“Okay.”

I texted my mom:

Hey mom, can I spend the night

At Aiden’s house tonight? 

She answered back like right away:

Sure Hun, I’m having a friend 

Over tonight anyway. But no sex, you know that I wouldn’t like that.

I answered back annoyed:

Whatever mom.

She answered:

I’m serious Elissa do not lose your virginity tonight.

I replied pissed off now:

My god mom I don’t plan on it. Now just go back to work.

She texted back

Kay Hun, love you.

I didn’t even text back I find it disgusting that she does this. She just goes and has sex with any man she can. I swear she’s going to end up having another kid. I mean she’ll have the money and the room but she can barely control me. She’s lucky I want to do well in school and that I’m not a drop out.

“So what did she say?” Aiden asked.

“I can, she’s going to have a friend over tonight. So usually when she does that I sleep over a friend’s house because I don’t want to hear all that.”

“Oh alright,” he rested his hand on my knee.

“Yeah, sometimes I just want to have sex and be like yeah I did so just shut up you do it all the time. But I’m scared to.”

“Well, I’m not going to be the one to force you into anything. So when you’re ready I am, and if you ever just want to ‘play’ but no sex I can help you with that.”

“Okay. Nice to know,” I didn’t really want to do that either. It seems kind of weird and awkward. 

“Yeah, so um what time is it?”

“12:30,” 

“Okay, do you want me to order Chinese or something?”

“Sure sounds yummy.”

“Okay,” he just laughed at me and I ran over to my house to get my clothes while Aiden ordered take out. Thank god they deliver. The food came a half hour later. We ate in pretty much silence. The rest of the night kind of seemed to fly by. 

“So you can either sleep in my room with me or you can sleep in the guest room that is down the hall to the left.”

“I just sleep in your room with you.”

“Okay,” we walked in and I sat on his bed. It’s really soft, I love it. His room I painted all black with lime green paint splatters. His bed spread is lime green.

“You can change into your pajamas if you want to.”

“I will, I’ll be right back.”

“Okay,” he said as I walked out of his room and into the bathroom. I put on my blue shorts and my black shirt that went with them. The shirt has a blue bear on it. I picked up my other clothes and put them back in my bag. I kept my bag in the bathroom. I walked out and went back into his room he’s sitting there with no shirt and just his pajama pants on. His perfectly sculpted six pack is just right there. 

“Wow, uhh can you please put a shirt on?”

“Why? I always sleep like this.”

“It’s distracting.”

“Then not wearing a shirt is doing its job.”

“Wow, good one just please put a shirt on.”

“Fine,” he got up and walked up to me, “Are you sure I need one?” Before I could say anything he pressed his soft lips to mine. We stood there for a while and we just kissed. I ran my hands up and down tracing the perfect lines of his abs while he had one hand on my butt and the other in my hair. This is a little more than what I’m use to but I like it. I don’t want it to stop. Before I really noticed Aiden pulled me down on the bed and was on top of me. I didn’t really want to stop it. He pulled my shirt up a little and started to put his hands under my shorts. I pulled away. 

“Aiden no, I’m not ready for sex.”

“I know, but just relax, no sex I promise, you’ll like this,” He said and continued.
