"Baby, come on, I think tonight's the night," he said, gently holding my hand.
I looked up at my boyfriend of the last year. His eyes were unsure, his face, unreadable, he looked as if he might puke. His hands were warm and clammy.
"Jack, it's not like I don't want to, I just don't know if I'm ready," I said, my voice trembled. I wondered how Jack would react.
"Please, Aria, I've waited for the last year. I love you, you know that. If you love me too, you'll do this." That was Jack's weapon to get me to do anything; Telling me he loved me. We stopped walking. The night was cold, the silence overwhelming, I looked him in the eye, he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me. I pulled back.
"Jack, what happens when we do?" I asked, feeling childish. "Are you going to leave me? What if I get pregnant? Jack, there's so much that's unanswered and unpredictable. I feel like you're trying to trick me into this."
"Aria, I promise, I won't leave you, you won't get pregnant, and I've never done it either Ar, it's not like I'm going to try to trick you into this. You're my best friend and my girlfriend, I wouldn't trick you like that." I looked up, he looked truthful. We got into the car and drove home. My parents were asleep, I could hear my mom snoring as I snuck in through the garage. My room was downstairs, but mom had left the door open that night. Jack went to my room, and I went upstairs to shut the door.
When I came back downstairs, I found Jack in my bed. I looked at him, he was scared. So was I, I don't know what overcame me, then, but it was as if I was a whole new person. I climbed into bed with him. I looked at him. I leaned in and kissed him, he took off his shirt and I took off mine, he began to kiss along my neck, down to my collar bone...
That morning I woke up in Jack's arms to the sounds of birds chirping and the sunlight in my eyes. I opened my eyes and he was looking at me. I smiled and looked down. He smiled too. I kissed him, he kissed me back. I couldn’t believe what we had done. A million thoughts were running through my head. But I couldn’t help but smile, no matter what the thoughts were. Jack stretched. I loved seeing him pull back his arms, tighten up and then go back to normal.
“Good morning, Jack,” I said happily. “How was your night?”
“Pretty good,” he replied. “I had the best dream I’ve ever had. We were together, and then we came to your house, and then we slept together, and we woke up with the birds chirping outside of the window, it was perfect.”
“It is perfect,” I smiled. “I love you Jack.”
“I love you too, Aria,” he kissed me.
I rolled onto my back. Jack leaned over and kissed me.
