His Summer
Chapter25(hahaha. at least i got it done before A
wednesday?)
"My favorite part of this entire summer?" Eric rolled
over so he was facing me.
"Yeah." I looked at his eyes.
"That very first day you told me you loved me."
"What?"
"Don't you remember?"
"No?"
"We were sitting in the back of my truck, listening to music.
You were wearing my old sweatpants and a white tank top with a
stain in the corner from that rassberry I threw at you. We were
just lying there. You turned your head and look me right in the eye
and said, 'I, Paige Elizabeth, love you, Eric Paul, whether
you like it or not. I know I'm young, and I know you're my big
brother's best friend, but I love you. I don't care how you
feel about me.' I remember you looked so determined. But you were
shocked when I answered, -"
" 'It's settled then, because I've been waiting for you to say
that, so I could tell you I love you too.' " I finished for
him.
"And we had on that song, uhh! What is it?"
"Meet Virginia! By Train!" We both yelled. We laughed
together.
"Well?" Eric hinted.
"What?" I asked, confused.
"What's yours?" He asked.
"I don't really have one." I thought about this entire
summer.
"You don't have a single favorite day? We've spent, what? 5, 6
weeks together?" Eric teased.
"It's not over yet. But that one night you made me stay up
all night just so you could learn everything about me comes
pretty close." I smiled.
"That was the first week we were here." Eric smiled,
thinking back.
"Yeah,
do you even remember everything I told you?" I asked.
"I know everything there is to know about you."
"Prove it."
"Your feet are always cold, you only eat the yellow fruit
loops, you only sleep on the right side of the bed, your favorite
movie is Serendipity, you've never seen the Notebook, you hate all
the 'classic' music like Aerosmith and ACDC, you love Run DMC but
don't like to admit it, you love the Red Sox, you watch football
but would never tell anyone that, you don't like babies because
they're sticky, you only have 31 teeth because your cousin knocked
out your first molar with a baseball bat, you cry through all
scary movies, you love to be hugged, you only have one dimple on
your right side, you watch Star Wars once a month, you quote Comedy
Central and Harry Potter, and no idea what you wanna be when you
grow up." Eric rambled off all of these facts that I had
completely forgotten I had ever told him.
"I can't believe you remembered all of that." I
laughed.
"How could I forget?" Eric joined in.
"I was half asleep when I told you those. I was kind of
hoping you wouldn't remember."
"I remember every word that comes out of your mouth and
everything you do. I won't ever forget you." He smiled. I
moved closer to him.
We both got quiet. It was late and we were getting tired. As
I layed there with my head on his arm, his fingers playing
with mine, I started to think. As much as I hoped it wouldn't, I
knew this relationship was going to end, somewhere, sometime. I
didn't know when it would, but I realized that knowing he knew
everything about me and still loved me was going to make
it even worse than it would have been if it were just
"Eric". I wasn't just in love with "Eric". I
was in love with everything that came along with him. I
realized that I was a lot luckier than I had ever
thought. A lot of girls only dreampt about guys like
this. To a lot of girls, this was only something
that happened in movies. But here I was, at my summer camp,
with my bestfriend's cousin, falling deeper and
farther in love with every breath I took. Even though my
life had been hard, and it didn't always seem like it, I was
one of the lucky ones. I had him.
"Hey Eric?"
"Yeah baby?"
"Tell me about you."
