Alabama, 2013

I literally don’t know what to say to Wesley. Sure we grew closer these past couple of days but it hadn’t crossed my mind about going on a date with her. Don’t get me wrong, she’s beautiful. Eventhough she tends to be weird at times and her jokes are awkward but I was getting used to it.

And now Lzzy had this crazy idea where we could go on a date and maybe finally fall for each other? I’d say that’s just a selfish act of her.

“It’s okay if you want to leave. I can find my way back.”

I glanced at Wesley and felt heavy in my heart. How can I say no? She was dressed up and she looked beautiful without her glasses. Now that I noticed, her eyes are really blue..

“Joe?”

“Huh?”

She waved in front of my face and snapped her finger.

“Boom, I just broke the spell.”

I frowned at her, and can’t help but laugh. “What the hell are you talking about?”

“You were dazed. Like you’re in somekind of spell or something.”

I smiled and can’t believe in my own action. “Is it bad if I say I was dazed because of you?”

She glinted her eyes softly and smiled back. “No. Not at all. I have that spell you know. Making people dazed when they were talking to me.”

“So what, you’re a witch now?”

“I’m Wesley the wicked witch of West Wick.”

I laughed aloud and started to feel maybe this is okay. Maybe Lzzy saw the chemistry between us that’s why she tried to pair us up.

“Well, since Lzzy left us both here, we might as well do something. What do you have in mind?” I asked, hoping that she wouldn’t suggest anything weird.

Wesley bit her lip and looked up. I can’t take my eyes off her pink lips. I dunno since when I had this kind of attention towards her. I noticed everytime she talked she would occasionally bite her lip but not in a seductive way. More of a painful way, like she was chewing them.

“We can hide behind a giant tree and scare people off then we could make out.”

I staggered, completely unaware that she would throw in suggestion like that.

“Um, a little less aggressive and a lot less intimate?”

“No? Hm, how about going to Wal-Mart and shop for some stuff and then totally not pay for them?”

I raised my eyebrows. Why am I not surprised? What a weird idea for a date. But it sounded kind of cool and I’ve never done that before so what the hell.

“Okay then. Wal-Mart it is.”

~*.*~

“Faster Joe, faster!”

“I’m trying!”

“God you’ve never been in a cart race before?”

I stopped pushing the trolley which contained Wesley in it, sitting leisurely with both of her legs hung out, revealing the milky skin of her thigh. Oh shit, focus, Joe!

“Who the hell participate in a cart race?”

“My grandma.”

I stunned, staring at her. Every word she said came out as a surprise to me. I feel like I want to get to know her a little deeper. There’s a fucking mystery about this girl and I just can’t seem to pinpoint what.

“Is your grandma as weird as you?”

“Hey, watch it! She’s not here anymore. She’s gone to pluck some of heaven’s fruit. She loved gardening you know.” She explained, looking down to her lap. Oh shit, have I offended her?

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”

She nodded but still looking down. I can’t bear when Wesley is upset like this. I’m not used to her being untalkative and sad. So I put a finger under her chin and raised her head up.

“Hey, what’s past stay in the past. You gotta let go of her.”

Suddenly I felt a pang of reality rushed within me. That advice I just gave, was like a clear mirror to me. What’s past between me and Lzzy, stayed in the past. I gotta let go of her.

I was completely caught off guard when Wesley leaned forward and locked her lips onto mine, kissing me gently but then quickly pulled away.

“I’m sorry! I thought..I thought we’re..in the moment..you know..I’ve never had..I’m sorry.”

I was shocked, to be honest. But it wasn’t so bad. She didn’t taste bad. In fact she was warm and soft. I leaned a little closer and pressed my lips onto hers. She didn’t give away her access and I wasn’t going to beg for it. Right now I just wanted this to be as innocent as it can.

“Wow. That was the best kiss I’ve ever had.”

“Really?” Yeah, like seriously? We didn’t even use tongue.

“Yeah. I’ve never been kissed like that before.”

Ah, screw it. Screw innocence. I took her face in my palms and kissed her deeply, running my tongue on her upper lip, making her opened her mouth. We practically made out in the middle of an aisle with her in the trolley and me, leaning over her.

“How about now?” I said, after pulling apart from her.

“I see stars.”

I chuckled and shook my head. The rest of the date went on smoothly as we planned. Well, as she planned. We took a lot of baby formula and home depot stuff but left them at the cashier, we hid behind a big tree and scared people off and we made out. I’ve never felt weirder in my life.

But it’s a good weird.
