I took a deep breath before getting out of my car and walking up to the house I had been parked in front of for a while now. I'm not ever the relationship type of guy, and I don't care about the girl's family at all. If they get in the way then I just ditch the girl. But there's something different about this one girl that I'm with, and I really don't want to screw anything up. I finally turned off the ignition and walked up to the front door of the Matthew's house. I hadn't met Jamie's father yet, who Blair had talked to me about and said that he was kind of intimidating. But the again Blair was making up a lot of shit and rules now that I'm dating her sister :p Haha which I respect though, because I feel the same way with Angela. I knocked on the door and met her father and step mom, which was kind of awkward. Jamie was still getting ready upstairs so I had to sit in their living room and use manners and respect and all that bullshit. Jamie finally came running down the stairs with her dark, little curly hair bouncing with every step. She looked like she tried dressing casual, but you could tell she put in extra effort to the way she looked. Personally I think she looks good no matter what, but oh well. We stayed in her living room for about 20 minutes being lectured about what we could and couldn't do tonight. It was so annoying having someone tell me what to do and I really had the urge to backtalk her dad, but I didn't.
"Finally. I thought we'd never get out of there." Jamie said as we walked out her front door.
"Yeah I'm not gonna lie that was pretty annoying." I said smiling. I walked her out to my car then kissed her before I opened her door. "Happy birthday babe." I said to her.
"Thanks." she said smiling. I wanted to do something special for her because of her birthday but I really didn't know what to do. She said she didn't want anything fancy romantic dinner thing, but Blair said to do something big. I guess I'd just let things go without planning and see where they could bring us.
"So what exactly are we doing tonight?" Jamie asked.
"Whatever you want to do, I'm up for it. This is your night." I said starting to drive around town.
"Hmmm." Jamie looked around, through the windows while contemplating something to do. "The playground!" she said all excited and pointed towards a park to the left of us.
"The playground?" I asked surprised. I looked over and saw how excited she was. "The playground it is." I said pulling into the parking lot. This was about to be some night.
"I don't usually take girls to play on a playground for a nice date." I said laughing and walking towards the playground with her hand in mine. "If I wanted to play with girls I'd take them to.." I looked at her suddenly. "Let me stop." I said smiling, she laughed a little. We swung on the swing set and talked for a while about everything. Then we got to the subject of her mom's death and she stopped swinging. I stood up and grabbed her hands, making her stand up too.
"I'm not really good at this Jamie, and I'm tryin for you. I'm not really good with the whole emotions and affection thing. But..just know that I'm here for you, and I care about you. If you want to talk about anything, I'll listen." I said looking down at her. She stared back up at me, surprised. I wrapped my hands around her waist and kissed her. I didn't make out with her or try making it go any further than kissing like I normally would. "I like you a lot." I said.
"I like you a lot too. And, I kind of need you to do something for me." she said staring at me.
"Oh really." I said leaning in to kiss her again but she turned away.
"Get on the slide." she said and i stopped and stared at her.
"What?" i asked.
"You heard me, get on the slide." she said putting her hands on her hips.
"Alright." I said walking towards the slide as she followed. "But I'm only letting you boss me around because its your birthday." I said turning around.
"Just get up there." she said pushing me and laughing. I climbed up the tall slide and sat down at the top, then she sat down behind me.
"So tell me what were doing on the slide." I said looking back at her.
"This." she said, pushing me so we both started sliding then she pushed me off the slide and I fell on the ground. She started laughing hysterically.
"Why was that necessary?" I asked lying on my back.
"You use to do that to me all the time when I was younger, and I hated you for it. Pay back's a bitch huh?" she said standing over me.
"Alright." I said getting up.
"Alright what?" she stopped laughing.
"Your getting it now." i said running after her. I chased her around for a little bit, then she stopped.
"Wait, wait, wait!" she said holding her hands up.
"What?"
"Let's race!" she said. "To the end of the blacktop. Go!" she said taking off with an early start. I chased after her and wrapped my arms around her waist, then pulled her to the ground. She rolled over on top of me and we started wrestling on the ground. Then I got on top of her and pinned her down. We both stopped laughing and stared at each other, then my grip on her eased and I leaned down to kiss her. We made out while our hands roamed each other's bodies. I had to stop myself before things went further. I stopped kissing her and looked into her eyes. She looked so beautiful.
"We should probably get going." I said standing up. She sighed. "Jamie." I said looking at her.
"Yeah?" she asked brushing grass off her pants then looking at me.
"I don't want to push things to far, or make you do anything you don't want to do. I respect you, and I respect your sister." I said, she looked doubtful. "I mean I want to do things with you, believe me I would do so many things to you if-" she raised her eyebrow. "But I'm not going to unless you want to." I said.
"I'll keep that in mind." she said winking at me and walking towards the car. I watched her walk from behind until we reached the car.
"Damn" I said, shaking my head. I started up my car and started driving to a surprise birthday party some of the girls had planned for her.
