I met a girl...
I've been hating myself for going around and flirting with a lot of girls. I could see guys like me doing it all the time, even my best friends were doing it. The problem with me is that I don't know how to get rid of the girls I flirt with. They stick to me if I was there boyfriend or something. I guess you can say I deserve it if I was going around trying to be a playboy. I already broke two hearts and I think they hate very much now. I'm always getting evil glances like if I was some kind of Incubus.
For a while now I held myself back from flirting with girls and going on dates. Until one day this girl I knew from the Cartoon Network building appeared. I met her on her birthday while she was working as a janitor. She just turned eighteen and she lives in Canyon Country. I thought it was kinda cool that she lives in Canyon Country, seeing how I have friends in Valencia. After her birthday I haven't seen her for about a month until her mom kicked her out of the house and she had to work with her best friend's dad to live with them. Starting then I saw her every Friday inside the Cartoon Network building. While I was resting or getting ready to go home I'd see her cleaning away. I've managed to talked her a couple of times before. I had a feeling she had a "thing" for me. Every time we talked she would have a big smile and she was constantly moving around like she couldn't control herself.
The week before Christmas I decided to ask her for her digits. She doesn't have a cell or a home phone yet, but she gave me her friend's number. I thought she was playing me and I would never go out with her. I actually called her about two days before Christmas and her friend picked up the phone. I asked for Michelle and I was put on hold for a while (I was hoping she gave me a real number). She answered the phone and I had a sigh of relief. Anyways, I asked her out for a date on Christmas, to go watch a movie. That was my first step into knowing more about this girl. I also decided to take it slow and not to make any moves until I actually like this girl. We went to go see the Darkness (which was a crappy-ass movie) and I held myself back on any easy/cheesy moves. The only thing I was debating myself about if I were to put my arm around her. I thought that it might be appropriate, she might get startled and jump closer to me. So, I actually put my arm around her just to take it slow for now.
After the movie we walked out and I kept my hands to myself. I didnt want anything to go any further, I was just afraid that she might turn out to be just like all the other girls if I did anything more. I drove her home and we had a good time talking. At the end she gave me a hug and left my truck. Right at that moment I thought I did good and didnt push anything.
During the Rose Parade rehearsals I noticed a lot of people hooking up. There was even this one girl that wouldnt leave me alone. She kept on calling me "sexy" which I thought was cool until I found out she was only sixteen. You might think that three years isnt that bad, but you forget that I can still go to jail. So, I tried to keep my hands to myself while she kept on pursuing to kiss me. I thought she was a cool girl to hang with, but her dad didnt think I was "suitable". I made sure I didnt do anything to upset anyone and have my ass in jail.
Once the parade was over I remembered about Michelle and gave her a call. I asked her for another movie at the Grumman's Chinese Theater (she never been there and she always wanted to go). We went to see the new Jim Carry movie which she wanted to see (a lot better than the Darkness). Again, I held myself back and just put my arm around her during the movie. About half way through she grab my hand that was around her and made it tighter around her. Then I made the next move by grabbing her other hand and she pulled it tighter around her. She made my arms into a cross around her body to keep her warm (I guess). She was soothing my hands with her fingers and for some strange reason I felt warm. I was actually enjoying myself with her and pushed ourselfs closer to each other. Then about three-quarters way through the movie she looks up at me. I looked at her as if there was something wrong and in that moment; she kissed me. I surprised and relieved at the same time.
After that movie we seemed to be a couple walking out of the theater. We were holding hands and whenever we got to an escalader she would stand one steep above me to keep with my height. Then on the way back to the truck we noticed a group of guys holding hands. We turned our heads to the right to noticed a club with a bunch of guys stand in front of it. (I just thought I would share that).
I was ready to take her back to where she was staying, until she asked me what was next to do. I couldnt think of anything that was still open at midnight. Then she asked me if I could take her to my place! I never taken a girl to my place before, its small and dirty, I'm too embarrassed to show any girl. However, for some strange reason the Universe and Fate combined their powers to make me say "yes". I have no idea what I was thinking when I said that. So, I took her to my place (it was a good thing my Dad was already to asleep, that way he wouldnt see me bring in a girl) to watch some tv. We laid on my bed with the blankets over us to keep us warm...
I could say we fell asleep watching tv, but I'd be lying. (Be imaginative).
I've only been out with Michelle twice and already I think she's awesome. I hope this turns out to be a good relationship (unlike the others).
