Chapter Five:

After school, I got Marissa’s cellphone and called my mom. She didn’t answer so I left her a message saying I was going to Marissa’s house, but I’d be home for dinner. Yes, I only knew the girl two days but it felt like I had known her for years, so hopefully my mom wouldn’t mind. Marissa and I got in her car and started it up when Ben ran up to the car. "Holy Shit!" I said as I rolled down the window. "You scared me," I laughed. "What do you want?" Marissa asked sounding irritated. "I was wondering If I could have a ride.""Ben, my mom said I have to go straight home.""What’s what I mean, go to your house." My heart jumped at the thought of Ben going to Marissa’s house and me being there. I looked over at Marissa and gave her puppy-dog eyes, "Please?" I mouthed. She thought about it and said, "Get in." Ben hopped in the back seat and we were off.

It was quiet the whole way there. Apparently we both couldn’t think of anything to talk about. "Cat got your tongues?" Marissa said to both of us. "Maybe," Ben said and we all laughed. Finally, we made it to Marissa’s house. It was only one story and had black shudders. The house had white siding that looked very pretty with the black shudders. The porch was brick. "Wow, your house is beautiful.""Yeah, yeah," Marissa said and we got out. Apparently, Marissa didn’t see the beauty in her house. "How long have you lived here, Marissa?" I said. "My whole life! I’ve always wanted to move, but Mom won’t move." Poor Marissa, I thought as we walked into the house. Inside was much more, modern. It wasn’t as fancy as my house, but hey, does that matter? No. "Home sweet home," Marissa said as she flopped onto the couch. Ben landed beside her and I sat in the chair that matched the couch. It was white with colored flowers on it. Very pretty, I thought.

We sat there for a couple minutes, feeling like hours since Ben was in the room. "Wanna go outside? I had two dogs that need to be played with." I laughed and we all headed outside. Her backyard was big for a house this size. Her dogs were in the fenced in backyard. One was a puppy, black with brown patches everywhere. He was a cutie. The other dog was an older dog, also the same color as the puppy. It must be the mom, I thought. "That’s the mom and that’s her puppy. We gave the others away." I was right. I bent down on the ground and petted the puppy. "These dogs are soo cute." Ben kneeled down beside me,"Yep," and the dog licked his face. "OK, maybe not that cute." I laughed and got up.

I went over the Marissa’s white swing. It was hanging from the big Oak tree in the back yard. "What’s wrong? Your not acting right." Marissa sighed, "Nothing, just..." She broke off and ran inside. I jumped up, "What’s wrong with her?" Ben came over to where I was sitting. "I don’t know, might be the fact that her other dog died last week. She was really attached to that dog. They grew up together.""Oh," I said and sat back down. Ben sat beside me and we swung in silence for a few minutes. "So, I can’t wait for our date, can you?" Ben said as he scooted closer to me. "Yeah, I know. I can’t wait either." Ben turned and looked at me. "Your so beautiful." I blushed and looked at him. "Thank you. Your quite handsome yourself." He smiled then grabbed my hand. We looked into each others eyes for what felt like hours. Then he tilted his head and leaned in for a kiss. His lips felt warm on mine, and I felt happy with him kissing me. After what felt like centuries, we broke apart and we both smiled. "Let’s go inside and see what Marissa is up to," Ben said and we headed inside, hand in hand.
