Our Summer
Chapter 9
Carson's
POV;
For some weird reason, I really wanted to stay and talk to Dan
and hang out and stuff, but tonight was about me and Matt. We got
up and I gave Dan a quick hug and walked out to my car with Matt.
Even though the hug only lasted about 3 seconds, it sent my
stomach into a crazy mess. Wait, what am I talking about. I had
just met this guy, and he was friends with Derek. No, I don't
like this kid. I can't. Matt talked endlessly about his girl
friend Stella on the ride home as I had an inner conflict with
myself. I don't like his girlfriend anyway. Well, she
doesn't like me. Whatever.
"Carson you just got a text," Matt said, glancing at my
phone.
"Read it," I said, not taking my eyes off the darkening
road.
"It's from Dan..he asked what you're
doing tomorrow," Matt said, playing around with my
phone.
"Say nothing yet why." It was quiet for a minute as
Matt typed the response and waited for Dan to write back. Within
a minute my phone made its little pingy noise, and
Matt said,
"He said he wants to hang out with you...Carse, I don't like this..."
"Why?", I asked, glancing over at him.
"I dunno..you already got involved with
one older guy in FSU...and you know how that
turned out..do you really want the same thing
to happen again?"
"Just because they hang out doesn't mean their exactly
the same Matt."
"I know..but I dunno, I just have a bad feeling about this
guy."
"Well I like him. Tell him to call me later or something and
we can figure plans out."
"I thought you said you were done with guys for a
while?"
"I changed my mind. Send the message back."
"Fine," he sighed. I hated people telling me what to
do. Matt knew that. I know he didn't really tell me to do
anything, but it was close enough for me to rebel against what he
wanted. I dropped him off at his house and when I got back to my
house, it seemed like a party was going on.
What now?
I thought. I opened the door and found Kyle and Ryan playing Just
Dance 2 in the living room with the volume blasted. Jeez
they're cool. I rolled my eyes at them and sat down on a
chair in the living room, texting Dan and enjoying the show going
on in front of me. I was laughing hysterically when the doorbell
rang. I got up and answered it and was surprised to see Dan.
"Uh..Hi!," I said, opening the
door.
"Hey, what's up?", he asked, smiling.
"Nothing..my brother and his friends are
doing some hard core dancing and I was just watching them,
ahaha."
"Hahaha, sounds fun..but uh, do you wanna go on a
walk?"
"Sure," I said, walking out the door. We satrted walking around my neighborhood, not really
talking and after about 5 minutes, Dan grabbed my hand. I looked
at it quickly and smiled. He looked at our hands too, then at
me.
"Carson..I know that we only just met a
few weeks ago..but I dunno,
there's something about you.." By then I couldn't
stop smiling. I started to say that I felt the same way, but
before I could, Dan put his hand under my chin and kissed me,
sweetly, softly, yet it was the most amazing kiss I've ever
expeirenced.
