Here, Again

I have a date with Nate at the pier, our seven month anniversary. We eat at a fancy seafood place near an aquarium. Today has been very romantic. Nate picked me up and we rode on his bike to the beach, after that he took me shopping at a mall wnext to the beach. After coming out of starbucks, he gave me boquet of roses, then we went to the pier and walked around. I love him, I would do anything to keep him by my side. "How's the dinner?" Nate asks with his mouth a bit full. I laugh a bit and wipe my mouth.

"It's great, but I hope this didn't hurt you're debit card... This feels like too much." I say. The past couple of weeks since the disaster has been great. Nate an I have differences, but we always come aback to each other. I love him, and that will never change."Nothings ever too much when I'm with you." He says as he grabs my hand. We smile and finish our food.

We stop at a close gas station as we're only 39 more minutes to her house. "Need help?" Brooklyn asks and she still sits in the motorcycle while I fill it up. "Just stop asking questions brook, I got this." I say, my tone a bit harsher than intended. "I'm just trying to help..." She says quietly as she looks down. "I know, baby... I'm sorry, but, I'll make it up to you tonight, I promise." I say, not looking up at her and paying for the gas.

We finally arrive at her house and we settle down. Her parents not home because they are yet again, gone for another month, so I've been sleeping at her house until further notice. We lie in

bed, cuddling as she's on her phone and I'm just looking at whatever she is. She passes by a picture of Xavier and Mina hugging. "They look pretty cute." She says as I'm looking over her shoulder. "Not as cute as you" I start to kiss her neck. "Nate," she says. "Yea baby?" I ask. "What are we doing after graduation?" She asks, getting up. She sits up on the bed and has a face full of worry. "It's not like any collages will accept me, Brooklyn. I have a criminal record, and sold drugs while on probation FOR selling drugs. So if it means you'll be with me always and still do, I will be wherever you are." I say, looking straight in her eyes as it starts to tear up. "Do you really mean that?" She smiles and looks down at her lap. "More than anything." I say, putting my hand on her shoulder. She leans in to hug me, but instead I kiss her. At least now we know what we're doing.

Another night with Xavier never ends. Seriously... All we do is sleep together, almost. He does take me on dates and stuff, but it's mostly another night in the bed. I mean, I'm not saying I hate it, I just wanna try something different once in a while. As we lie naked on the bed together, I sit up covering my front with the white sheets. "Xavier..." I call. "Yes?"

"Have you ever tried... I don't know, something different?" I ask, looking over my shoulder to look at him. He's sleeping... Oh well... I lie down again and go to sleep, tomorrow, Zayne, Xavier, Nate, Brooklyn and I are all hanging out at Brooklyn's house, then going to the mall.
