This is chapter 3 of Giving Up. I just want to remind to you people that
this contains gay relationship and also the story doesn't follow the rules
of grammar. I wanted it to sound almost exactly like a teenager's point of
view.

Enjoy

Hello World...Deal with It

-----------------

"*PANT*,*PANT* Have we...GASP...reached 10 miles yet?"

"Almost...by the time we reach that big green tree...we'll exactly reach 10
miles," he said without panting, with his back straight like he was wearing
some kind of a retainer on his back, and he was SMILING! Who could smile
that much in this god awful heat wave and sweat soaked shirts that feels
like someone just poured hot water on your back in the hottest day of the
year?! Even I can't even raise my tongue inside! I was so god damn tired
that I could literally see a mirage a few miles away even though we're
running around a very greeny park! I gasped almost totally losing my voice,
"...Good!"

He was wearing a black hat that hid his small pony tail. He should cut his
pony tail 'cuz I think that style is so like five minutes ago. I TRIED to
keep up with that ox beside me who I so want to kill just because he woke
me up the middle of dawn. Well it's my fault really because I made this
stupid oath that if I kiss him a few more times the other night before I
left his house I'd go jogging with him today. He knows that I'm a wimp! I
mean, I can't even stand lifting dum bells that weighs only 10 pounds for
pete's sake! Hell, I won't even dare lift a single pound of dumbell again
if life matters. With all my energy, I managed to sprint a few more seconds
and reached the tree that he pointed out. As soon as I touched it, I
collapsed on the ground panting like hell with my lungs feeling like it was
about to pop any minute. Sweat totally poured down my face dripping down to
my shirt. God, and I reek of sweat smell and a bit of B.O. and GOD please
bring down water here! I'm totally thirsty! Dave crouch and kneeled down
panting a bit. "Hey, get up!"

"No...why don't YOU GET UP! Jesus Christ! We've reached the tree you were
pointing at!" I shouted back pointing at that hideous willow tree. He
laughed hysterically then said, "This isn't the tree I was pointing at! I
was talking about the one right there!"

He pointed out at another tree which was a bit yellow green and like
totally far away. I mean another 200 feet away. I shouted, "Screw you
alright! Go to that fucking tree if you want to! There's no hella way I'm
going there even if my life depends on it!!!"

He snickered and laid down beside me. He kissed me on my sweaty cheeks and
I could feel his extreme heat! I shouted, "Dave! Not now! I'm totally hot!!
You're like...a major burning furnace here! Go away!"

"Geez! Sorry!" he said sarcastically. I shook my head backing away from him
and feeling the frigid soil where my back laid unto. He turned his back at
me. "Fine be that way! I thought you'd do anything for me Blue! I thought
you'd catch the falling stars for me! I thought that you like being with
me! Or LOVE being with me. If you don't feel that way, then I suggest we
break up!"

I could here him sniffing which totally means to me that there was
waterworks going on. I sighed and totally felt bad shouting at him. I mean,
I'm tired and this god awful heat is killing me. Can't he see that?! Just
look at my forehead! I turned around and moved closer to him wrapping my
arm around him. I could feel the major pain in the ass heat on his back
while my chest touched it. I whispered kissing him on his ear,
"Dave...Dave...I'm really really sorry. I didn't to say all those things
and shout it at you. I'm just so tired that's all...I'm not used to do this
stuff."

He didn't say anything and slightly moved away from me. I etched closer
holding him around my arm making sure he won't get away from me. God, I
really FEEL BAD!! I'm making Dave cry! I started whimpering, "Dave! Stop
crying! I'm really really sorry! I didn't mean to shout at you! I didn't
mean what I sa..."

Suddenly, I totally heard him snicker and I could feel his cheeks move and
showing a part of his teeth. I rose up my head and looked at his face. He
wasn't crying! That's not a face of a guy who's crying like mad...there
wasn't a single tear drop on his face! I screamed, "You're such a fuckin'
asshole! You fuck!"

I backed way and sat on this big rock that was adjacent to the nearby tree
that I THOUGHT he pointed at. He kept on snickering hugging me from behind
trying to jiggle me. I pretended that I was really pissed but I couldn't
really resist myself from smiling. So I smiled or rather grinned and gave
him a knuckle sandwich which didn't really hurt him since he was as strong
as an ox. I ended on top of him smiling and totally not thinking about what
just happened. He smiled back and he stared at me seriously. His hand
brushed the strands of hair that was wet from sweat tucking it on my
ear. Then his long slender fingers ran down on my sweaty back. He
whispered, "You know...we're in public."

"Point being?" I asked not caring if anyone sees us at all. I moved my head
down even lower to kiss his adorable lips that awaited my lips. This is
what I really cherish the most in our relationship. Kissing. You can NEVER
get enough. Just like that cartoon animal on TV says about that cereal he
advertises. Was he a bear or a raccoon? Who cares. Anyway, kissing is
like...certainly like WOW. It feels like your insides are about to blow and
you can actuallly feel your heart doing that lub-dub thing. But even
harder! You can also feel...I don't know...that aura a person gives out. I
know it sounds really stupid but I can feel Dave right now. Words can't
express it 'cuz I certainly have no clue what to say about that feeling
since I can't think of a god damn word good enough to describe it except
that it's a good feeling. It's like knowing how a person feels about you.

His hand patted the back of my head trying to pull my head down so he could
get in deeper in me. Did I tell you guys? We're deep tongue kissing! He has
a really long tongue. Not long like a chameleon's but like long that he can
actually touch almost every part of my mouth. Except for the throat. I
don't see how deep throat works. I would certainly gag...not because it's
sick but since I have a strong gag reflex. Suddenly, we heard this rumble
on the ground and I could hear very clearly, "GET A ROOM YOU FAGS!"

Dave quickly got up pushing me away from me which really hurts since he
pushed my so hard that my chest stang where he had touched me. I saw him
running after the guy that called us a faggot, but he was too fast for Dave
since he was on a bicycle. I could hear Dave shouting, "FAG?!!! WHO'RE YOU
CALLIN A FAG YOU PIECE OF SHIT?!!!! COWARD!!!! COME ON AND SAY IT RIGHT IN
FRONT OF MY FACE YOU ASSHOLE!! YA HEAR ME?!!"

For the first time in my life, I was SCARED as HELL! It was like...I
finally noticed how everyone in the world is disgusted by what me and David
are having. This...gay relationship. I just realized that to have this
relationship...I have to hide and lie to EVERYONE other than Nancy about
this thing between me and David. And if everyone knew about this
relationship, oh my god, everyone would make fun of me, or beat me up 'till
every bone in my body's broken! I stood there almost crying but too shock
to produce a tear. I couldn't breath. This is what I wanted the most but in
the same time, I'm being pulled back again.

I slumped back down from the ground hugging my knees and rocking myself
trying to make myself calm saying to myself that everything would be
alright and no one will ever know about anything between us. It didn't work
alright. I could hear Dave coming back panting like crazy and almost red as
a plump tomato. "Damn, why can't that fuck leave us alone...hey you
alright?"

He quickly crouched in front of me and held my head with both of his hands
wiping the tears away from my face with his thumb. He said, "What's wrong
baby? Did I hurt you?"

I gasped and looked straight into his eyes trying to let him see what I was
feeling just by looking at me. I whispered, "Did you hear that? He called
us a faggot Dave. I can't believe he said that word to us..."

His eyes started to go glassy and he leaned forward touching my forehead
with his. Then he let go of me but kept his hands on my hands. He
whispered, "I know...and even though I really hate it...it's true. We are
gay."

"I know," I said trying not to cry anymore. Am I sissy or what? Well partly
yes. But look! I never knew people could act so bitchy with homosexuality!
I mean...I thought it'd be like....they see it...they leave it alone. Like
that. I guess I'm really blind from seeing the real society. I'm still
stuck with the knowledge of a happy gay-accepted society. This totally
sucks now. I love Dave with all my heart and soul so much that I really
don't care if the whole world knows that we're both going out. It'll take a
little bit of getting used to but I really don't care if they do! Although,
I know that David would react in a bad way if some bad guy finds out about
this. Like that homophobe guy who just drove by. I finally stopped crying
and Dave joked that I'm too oversensitive. I just laughed it off and both
of us left the park on going back home.

Dave was walking at the edge of the sidewalk slowly putting one foot on
front of the other balancing himself with his arms waving around. He looked
totally gay doing that but yet, you couldn't help being turned on by the
view. Since he was only wearing a tank top that he drenched with the last
ounce of water that was left in my water bottle, it clinged to him, like
me, and so the drop dead gorgeous description of his toned muscles from
arms down to his stomach was practically exposed to the public waiting for
any victim that would fall for this guy. I was already at my house and had
to wait for him in my front yard since he was still concentrating on that
kind of walked. He told me, it's good for his mental concentration and it's
good for perfect balancing himself. Okay, is his new target the gymnastics?
I giggled at myself thinking of him with a gymnastic suit. I shut myself up
before he could see me laughing.

We went straight to my bedroom. There was really no one in the house but we
preferred my bedroom since it has a maxim security; the door. I had just
initially installed this lock last month which can be opened either by this
sticker-pic size card or a normal key. It took me a whole month salary and
half of Dave's monthly allowance, he gets more just to brag how much he
gave me, and a bit of his salary from his job at this telemarketing
research. And it's DEFINITELY worth it! My mom and dad can never get in
whenever I lock it and only some of my close friends, the usual trio;
James, Nancy and David, have the keys.

I was just having this kissing session with my lovely boyfriend David when
suddenly the phone rang. I really hate it when that happens. Dave picked up
automatically and said emotionless, "Hello...uhuh...well...umm...hell why
not...kay...in ten minutes?...okay...I'll see ya."

He sat beside me while I asked, "Who was it?"

"Nancy. Said she wanted to come here 'cuz she's really bored," he said
crawling from across the bed to get closer to me. I frowned and I got
pissed since she's gonna ruin our privacy. He gazed at me wickedly and he
smiled feverishly, "Well...we still have ten minutes..."

Before I knew it, he lunged forward on top of me. I was sandwiched between
the mattress and him. He kissed me tenderly and hungrily. I couldn't stop
laughing at him for being hungry for more kisses from me. We went back to
our kissing session and we were so into it that we didn't even notice Nancy
coming in. He was tongue grinding me and I moaned hugging him even tighter
trying to pull him closer to me. Suddenly, I heard the keys opening my door
and I gasped trying to push him away from me, "Nancy....'s her..mmpphhh..."

"I know...I can't stop kissing you...please don't stop..." he moaned
kissing me over and over again until Nancy opened the door wide open.

"Hey...is James he..."

She stood there with her mouth open from shock while Dave continued kissing
me. I looked at her with this look that'd she really understand this isn't
what I wanted to do while I pushed Dave away trying to make him stop. He
finally did and he sat panting for air. She said almost screaming and
getting excited in the same time, "Oh...my god....that was soo cool! That
was like amazing! Like totally! You both should be nominated for the best
kiss! I mean...no offense but it totally turned me on!"

Dave nor I said anything and we both simply smiled, blushing while holding
each others' hands. He looked at me grinning and kissed me one more time. A
simple kiss this time. Clarrissa did this really big 'AWWWW' thing that
totally embarrassed me and even reminded me of that thing that happened
this morning. I got a bit turned off pushing him away. He looked at me
weird and I whispered, "Nancy's here."

"So?"

"It's not right," I said not looking at the serious look he was giving
me. I KNEW definitely, no doubt that he was hurt or pissed about that. But
I'm sure he'd understand. Nancy pointed at herself. "You think it's not
right if I'M here?"

"No...that's not what I meant," I said quietly. Dave quickly answered back
at her, "It got something to do with this morning that's why."

"Huh???" she asked totally confused. Dave explained to her for me. She got
so pissed that her mood totally changed. "Omigod, are you soo sure? That
guy, I swear...I would kill him sooo bad if I ever see him! Like, where
does he live?"

"Dunno and who cares. It's just that...well people can be a bitchy about
homos like us. What if some people in school already knows? I mean by the
way we act, some people should've found out by now! Or maybe there's some
rumors going on that no ones telling me!" I fidgeted asking if it is
true. Nancy shook her head, "No one will ever know Blue. I mean who'll find
out?"

"You did..." Dave blurted out. "That's 'cuz you told me! I didn't find out
about you guys by myself."

"Yeah guess you're right, but still...don't we show a bit?" I asked. Nancy
asked, "Show what?"

"You know...our undying love for each other!" I said giggling a bit trying
to break that seriousness I never did ever liked. Nancy laughed, "Well, it
depends...I mean well..."

"Well WHAT?!" Dave quickly blurted out getting all nervous. Nancy gave an
evil gaze at Dave that made him back away a bit. Girls are so dominant. She
sighed and asked, "Do you guys really want to know the truth? I mean
like...totally know the truth."

Dave grabbed me and held me around his arms shaking while rubbing my
hair. Not really rubbing more like giving me a noogie with his palms which
really hurts by the way. He was breathing hard and had this worried look on
his face but you could tell that he would laugh in any minute. He gasped,
"Tell me Nancy...is there something wrong with...my baby?!"

Nancy just bursted out giggling which I eventually did too. Dave too
giggled but not as much as Nancy was. I got up hushing up Dave and asked
Nancy to tell the truth. She shook her head fast and cried, "Let me finish
what I've got to say alright? And then ask me ALL the questions in the
end."

Both me and Dave nodded as I leaned at Dave's topless body with his arms
wrapped around me. I was totally serious this time and so was Dave who
kissed the back of my head before resting his head on my right shoulder and
whispering 'I love you' before Nancy started which made me smile and lip I
love you too back at him.

"Are you people done with your cuddles and I love you's?"

"WAIT!" Dave exlaimed. He moved to my left side and caressed my cheeks with
his fingers. He took a deep breath and asked, "Blue...?"

"Yes David?"

"I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I
love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I
love you, I love you, I love you, I love you...*gasp*," he stopped gasping
for breath. I couldn't help laughing my butt off. But I was really admiring
what he just said 16 times! I gave hime a big SMOOCH on his pink lovable
two lips that surely said I love you back.

"That is major sweet Dave! Now can I talk now?!" Nancy asked almost getting
pissed now. I nodded and went back leaning on Dave while he wrapped his
hugged me.

"Ok where was I? Umm...okay yeah. It's like this...whenever you two are
around, I mean like together, you act like....REALLY REALLY normal! You
don't act like you're boyfriends and all. And like you can't even tell or
bother to know that the band aid that was on Blue's neck was covering that
hickey made by the only one and all Dave!" she said. I couldn't help
smiling and touching the spot where there WAS a hickey. She tried to
continue but then Dave butted in...again.

"BUT?! I know there's a but coming!" Dave said keeping his head resting on
my shoulder. Nancy brushed her layered back saying, "Yep! BUT! From
analyzing you both when seperated for a temporary condition, whatever
reason it might be like different classes, Dave going to work, whatever, I
have seen you both act like just bunch of hypnotized peeps from being in
love ALL the time until you see each other again. Get what I'm saying?"

"Well...I think so. You were using too much big words here and there!" he
said scratching his head. Okay, he's NOT that good on big words...but he's
really smart! I'm trying to think of example of why he's smart...but I just
can't. Oh well, he's not dumb for one thing anyway so no biggie! He'll just
end up looking like a hobo with a job as a firemen in the next few
years....WOW! Kinky!

"Yeah I do...but I don't believe you! I act the same!" I objected running
my middle finger on Dave's arms. Nancy got up taking a hairband on my
drawer that she really owned. She walked around tying her hair up telling
me that it's really true and sometimes her girl friends even asks her if
I'm in love with someone because they could tell literally by just looking
at me. And she even joked, I think she was just joking since there's no way
in hell it could be true, that they were hoping it'd be one of 'em. Dave
quickly reacted, "Them?! Hoping that my luver Blue will be in love with
them?! Okay...do they need some knuckle sandwich to realize that my luver's
in love with only ME?"

"Hey...but you can't help getting turned on by that hot chic Angela...that
blonde babe! She looks almost exactly like Mandy Moore if only Angela had a
really good voice instead of that high squeeky one she uses everyday that
you literally can't stand. Too bad, all bets are that she has a hots for
that cute guy Jake since beginning of school," I said trying to make Dave
jealous...which did make him jealous! It's so not true really. I'm one
hundred and ten percent gay! I'd no way touch or deal with a girl that way
but I'm not THAT gay that I'd start limping my wrist and wearing those pink
or rainbow shirt that says in the front "2QT2BSTR8" and in the back it
says, "Nobody knows I'm Gay" or wear make up and put wigs on and pretend
like a girl. I'm just...not that gay. Dave knew I was kidding but he played
around, "Oh fine be that way! Guess I'll just go out with a girl too. I
mean...your not the only one who's bi!"

"Hey hey HEY! Where's this <I>bi</I> word coming from?! I'm just kidding
around you know! Don't tell me your bi!" I said a bit worried. I mean bis
are cool really but the only problem is that...it's hard to float their
boat! My friend says that they want girls but they have no dicks so they
run after guys but they have no boobs so they end up marrying
transexuals. I don't know...I kinda feel like that's too insulting. Really,
I'm cool about bis...I'm just scared that well...Dave might want something
that I can't give. Oh like...childrens? They don't come out of the ass you
know!

"Well...I don't know! I mean maybe I am. I mean I wouldn't mind fucking
Britney or Christina or Mariah...or sigh...Mandy Moore! Or maybe I'm not bi
after all and completely gay and would only do Blue for the rest of my
life," he said. I kissed him anyway telling him that it's okay as sexual
matter goes as long as he's in love with me. That's all that matters. I
mean his sexuality matters too but all in all, I guess love's the only
thing that matters in relationships. Okay, did I just sound so intimate or
what?! I said outloud after, "Still, you'd better not!"

He kissed me back and Nancy sort of yawned and told us to break it up since
she's getting jealous that she can't find another boyfriend in the damn
school good enough for her. We did stop but we held hands and stayed in the
same place; me leaning on his naked body and him wrapping his arms around
me. Dave suddenly blurted out, "Hey you know...there's something missing
that I can't really put a finger in it."P>

"My ass? Heh! Yeah...James. For some weird reasons, he's one of those
people that waits for other people to ask him out since he's too shy.
Let's invite him here! He'll be really pissed if like he finds out he
wasn't invited to come to my house today," I insisted grabbing the
receiver. But then Clarrissa suddenly blurted out rising up to her feet,
"Do we have to invite him here? I mean, you can't act so close to each
other if he's here and all. I mean he doesn't know about you guys yet."

"Oh yeah, guess you're right...but we can take it! I mean we can save it up
for later and it's better that way since it's more vigor!" I said grinning
like crazy. Clarrissa looked at me weird and asked so loud that Dave kinda
got embarrassed, "You guys had sex?!"

"Umm....well is it bad if we said no? He meant another kissing session!"
Dave answered looking at me with devilish smile. Clarrissa smiled,
"Sigh...oh ok. Do we really have to invited Jamesy?"

Jamesy? I nodded and asked her if she had any reasons why James can't go
here and she shook her head. Soon after, I could hear James knocking on the
front door. He's really polite even though he's gotta be the most
irritating but funny person you'll ever know. He KNOWS that the front door
is always open whenever I'm home but he always knocks. I sighed and I got
off my bed and went down the stairs answering the door. James, all dressed
up black...oh he's wearing grey shirt! That's new! I smiled, "Hey nice
shirt man! Grey! Me favourite!"

"Oh shut up...laundry day. By the way...HI!" he said smiling woozily like
the stars just fell down the sky and smacked him right on top. I looked at
him weird and told him to come in. He tailed me and when he reached the
stairs he asked me if his hair looks good. That really surprised me, this
was the first time he ever cared about he looked. I nodded and asked,
"What's the special occasion."

"Me proposing to you!" he said snickering. I jabbed him on the shoulder and
went straight into my bedroom. I laid down beside Dave so nothing would be
noticed...sigh I know! I was sitting beside him like totally a feet away
and my whole body and his body were like magnets inching every single
minute then we'd back away a couple of inches then it repeats again. I
wasn't really paying attention with anyone in the room except Dave who was
pretty much looking me like he wants to grab me and lick me and kiss me. I
was staring into his blue eyes that seems to hypnotize me and every single
second, my head moved closer to him as he did the same.

"Are you guys in love yet?" James suddenly blurted out. I looked away and
smiled foolishly while scratching the end part of my nose while Dave looked
away smiling and blushing like hell scratching the back of his head
instead. God...Dave looks so sexy by just doing that! I tried to explain,
"I...he...uhh..well...he...this never happened!"

"We were having a staring contest...yeah! To see who'll last long," Dave
explained. James snickered, "Sure you do! You looked like you both were
about to get close and kiss kiss kiss 'till the sun goes down don't they
Nancy?"

Nancy, who was like just beside him...like REALLY BESIDE HIM like you would
actually think that there's something really going on with both of them,
brushed a long lock of fine blonde hair tucking it at back of her ear while
she nodded agreeing with him. I really didn't see the reason why I got to
hide this shit from him. I mean he KNOWS I'm gay and he thinks it'd be a
great idea if me and Dave are perfect couples. Why can't I tell dammit!!
Dave laughed, "Kiss kiss kiss 'till the sun goes down? That's the gayest
phrase you've ever said James!"

"Hey! Don't say that! It's my favourite track on Vengaboys!" he said
enthusiastically. I giggled and so did Dave but eventually I stopped 'cuz I
so something really weird. Nancy was sitting there with her arms around her
knees and she wasn't laughing or anything, well she WAS but it's like she
forced it out of her will. Well I was really minding it 'till she said so
slowly while Dave was laughing, "You guys...I have to go...I need to
umm...do my homework...at my house."

She left without waiting for waiting for us to say our usual thirty minute
goodbyes. Then like ten minutes later talking like non stop...well
practically me and Dave only since James was like sitting there looking
around my room like he was just new in town and went to my house for the
first time thinking that any minute now someone will grab him and bash him
open. Well he was kind of acting like it. He got up all of a sudden and
explained, "You guys...I gotta go. I still have umm...some major homework
to do. I'll see you guys later."

"Umm...ok. See yaz man, thanks for comin'!" I said. Dave was giving me this
sexy grin that you'll literally know what means. Heheheh....another
smoochfest here on my bedroom! Daymn! We said our goodbyes quickly and I
was kind of like really odd about this. He doesn't really leave this
fast. I mean...him...coming here for only fifteen minutes is sure weird. He
ALWAYS stays for dinner like always since he loves my mom's cooking than
his mom's. Well I wouldn't go against that since it's true. His mom doesn't
know how to cook and once when she did while I was at his house, I just
didn't know how it's possible how but she started a fire from just cooking
sphaghetti. And they're using electric stoves! Totally weird! That's what I
call Mission Impossible.

So anyway, the whole afternoon, my lips were on his all the time except
when I had to go to the washroom which was many times since I drank a lot
of water from jogging. Oh my god, you don't know how much my dick was hard
that time. I was kind of really rubbing my groin at him while I was kissing
him since it really felt good to my little brain down there but somehow, I
didn't have the guts to go one step further. Well A LOT OF steps
further...sex! I mean I knew somehow that he's ready, I mean jesus christ,
he's already naked except for the pants and whatever undergarments he has
on. And boy, did he ever look sexy without his tops on? His nice semi
tanned body allowing me to touch it and caress it and rub it and lick and
kiss it, which I really never did since I was too scared, oh god, I could
literally eat him! I hugged him tighter while pushing myself and pulling
himself closer so we could somehow be closer to each other even though our
bodies are already in contact. I never really did strip down to my shorts
but I know he could feel my nipples erecting since he couldn't stop rubbing
it. His was too but I didn't dare touch it.  The only time we stopped was
when my parents asked us to to go down to eat. Sigh...we already...ate!

After dinner we went back to my bedroom but we didn't really make another
make out scene again. We just hugged each other while watching some movie
that was the most weirdest movie I have ever seen. Even Horizon. I watched
it before when it was on Pay TV but still I still don't get the story. And
what's weird is Dave gets it. And I got the story when Dave explains to me
what happened after.

Ten o' clock is I guess the time I really hate. Dave always have to go
early since he has work the next day after and plus school so he wanted to
sleep early. School's really ok but I really don't recommend that job thing
that he goes to every Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I mean he's only
like what...turning 16 in a few months plus we won't get to see each other
at afternoon. And plus he has football practise at Tuesday and Thursdays. I
do see him sometimes after football practise but most of the time, he
always falls asleep while I babble on and on.

I sighed while I walked down the isolated dark street alone with Dave
holding hands. Then we stopped at the park where we usually say our
goodbyes since it's the best place to kiss without anyone seeing us. He
turned around and asked me, "Why the sad face luv?"

"Oh...it's just that...I'm gonna miss you really bad," I sighed putting my
hands in my jean pockets since it was a bit cold. Surprisingly, Dave wasn't
even though he was only wearing his tank tops, his tear away pants and his
hat. He smiled and caressed my left cheek with his right hand. Dave
whispered, "I'm going to see you tomorrow anyway."

"It's not that, well at school we can't really be like REALLY together and
plus I won't see you since you have work and after tomorrow you'll have
football practice and you'd be too tired to do anything and the day after
that day..."

"Okay! I get your point. I'm really sorry for having such a busy day and
only having time on weekends. Baby, you know I would do anything to make
you happy but you know I'm trying to save money for college. I know! Don't
laugh. It's too early I know and I'm too dum to get in..."

"God your not dum Dave. You're not! Hell, I've been watching that movie we
just watched ever since I had the oppurtunity and never got it 'til you
told me the whole story few hours ago. Look I'm really glad that you're
saving up for the future, really I am happy for you," I said smiling taking
one step closer at him. College or University really frightens me. If Dave
and me last that long...I don't know how I can take it if he goes to a
college two cities away. Dave explained, "Thanks. How did we end up in this
subject anyway? We were talking about me having no time for you...Look, I'm
really really sorry, I could take tomorrow's shift off and bump it
somewhere next week...just for you."

"Nah, I know that you're gonna bump it on either Saturday on Sunday so no
way in hell I'm gonna let you do that. You just go and make money alright?
As long as you waste some for me!" I said jokingly. He laughed a bit then
stopped and gazed at me with this half smile that kind of made me giggle
inside.

"I love you," he said with a serious adorable voice.

"I love you too."

He smiled and without hugging or getting so close to each other, he moved
his head forward leaving a simple kiss on my lips. He drew back and removed
his hand from my face and messed my hair a little. "You take care okay and
I'll see you tomorrow."

"Alright, good night my knight in shinning armor," I whispered taking my
right hands raising it up in the air. He smiled and we smiled again lipping
I love you's before we both walk to our seperate ways.
