Chapter Twelve:

We arrived back at my house to find that my mom had went out with some friend let Marissa stay at the house, by herself. I was worried a little though. What if she needed a shoulder to cry on? What if she got lonely? But I was soon to find out, that she was OK by herself. Apparently she was having a fun time watching HBO and talking on the phone with other friends. "Hey, Marissa. How you holding up?" She looked up from the movie, all excited looking. "Holding up like a brick wall, thank you." Then she laughed. "Well, that’s good," Ben said handing her the food. "Got just what you wanted. Everything under the sun." He smiled, "Yay!" She squealed a window breaking squeal and took the food gladly. Ben turned toward me, "Well, I better be heading home. My mom is going to be worried sick." He laughed and kissed me on the cheek. "Mar, If you need anything, my cell will be by my bed. So just call, OK?" "Ah, I’ll be fine. Leave me be!" And she laughed while eating her cheeseburger. I laughed as well, "See you tomorrow?" He looked me in the eyes, "Anytime, babe," and he kissed my lips passionately. "Bye," and headed out the door. "Bye!" and I headed inside. I sat down beside Marissa and stole a fry. "Hey, get your paws off." "Hey, I called the food lady. Be generous," and we both laughed. "So, you really do like my cousin, don’t you?" I looked at her and smiled. "Yeah. He is so sweet and funny and smart. He’s also very cute." She smiled real big. "OK. Don’t tell me that. That’s a little sick. But I’m really glad for you two." And she turned back towards the TV. We sat there, watching Never Been Kissed together. She ate her food and I sat quietly beside her. I loved this movie, so it was a good choice. When it was over, we headed up to my room. It was 11:43pm and I was getting tired. We both flopped down on my bed. "So, what did you guys do today?" I looked up at the ceiling thinking about today. I smiled, "I had so much fun. First he took me to Olive Garden. My most favorite restaurant. Then we went to the park and walked around the lake. He also pushed me in. That’s why I’m wet." Marissa laughed. "He pushed me in once. I pushed him in and I duck his head underwater." We both were laughing, hysterically. "Now, that’s funny, but no. He jumped in after me." I smiled thinking about how he held me while we watched the sun set. I wish I could just freeze time, and play that moment over and over again. I loved being held in his big, strong arms. Marissa noticed my dazed look, "OK. Stop daydreaming before you drool." She laughed. I shrugged. "I like daydreaming. Especially about Ben." She smiled and looked over at Marissa, who was covering her ears. Apparently, she still didn’t want to talk about Ben and I. Laughing, I got my pillow from under my head and hit her on her head. "Hey! What was that for?" I was laughing crazy again. "Because I want to talk about Ben, but you won’t listen to anything I say. What a friend." I laugh and hit her again, right on her back. "OK. Two can play at that game. AHH!" and she hit me on my face, making me fall off the bed, laughing. "You just wait. I’m gonna get you! AHHHHHH!" and I hit her back. We hit each other back, like it was battle. Like we were actually fighting over something. There was so much action going on that It was so fun. "Ah ha! I got you." and I was down on the ground. "OH YEAH! I win! I win!" "This isn’t over, Marissa." and I hit her across her face, making her land onto my bed. "Damn you!" and she hit me with her pillow and I landed beside her on my bed. After that, we started laughing. "That was so fun. God." "Yeah," Marissa said and yawned. "Tired?" Marissa looked at me, "Just a little." and she threw the pillow on the floor. "OK. Let’s hit the sack." "OK." Marissa got up, but looked at me, like she didn’t know what to do. "Do you think we could sleep in the same room tonight? I...I don’t want to be alone..tonight." I looked at her with sympathetic eyes. "Yeah, I’ll take the floor." "Nah! We can both sleep on the bed. I swear, I don’t role that way." I laughed. "I know you don’t. The way you were looking at the guy at the basketball practice the other day was priceless." We both laughed. "I know," Then she got her PJ’s and headed towards the bathroom to change. I changed into my PJ’s as soon as she left. Then I hopped into bed. Marissa came in and turned out the light and hopped in to. "Night, Mar." "Night, Kat." and we drifted off into a deep sleep. Today had been perfect.
