The next morning is Saturday and I wake up
around 10 a.m. I open my eyes and see a person sitting in my desk
chair looking at their phone. It’s James. I sit up in bed and
look at him. “Hey, what are you doing here?” I ask with
a sleepy voice. “I just dropped by and was waiting for you to
wake up.” He replies. “How long have you been
waiting?” “Not long.” He assures me. I get out of
bed wearing nothing but a bra and a pair of boy-short pajama
bottoms. I get up and throw on some sweat pants and a tee shirt. I
walk over and sit on his lap and peck his cheek. “Do you want
to go do something today? Just you and me?” He asks returning
my peck on the cheek with a peck on my lips. “Sure, if you
want to wait for me to take a quick shower and get dressed?”
“Yeah, that’s fine.” He replies with a smile. I
jump up and go to the bathroom and start the shower. He gets out of
the chair and lies upon my bed. I take a quick shower and shampoo,
condition, wash, and shave, then I get out. I wrap the towel around
my body and walk back into my room. “Are you wearing
that?” He asks sarcastically while smiling. “Oh yeah,
it’s a new dress, do you like it?” I reply
sarcastically with a wink. “So what should I wear what are we
going to be doing?” I ask seriously. “You can wear
whatever you desire.” He smirks. “You are no help at
all.” I joke. I just grab some jeans, underwear, a bra, and a
shirt. I head back into the bathroom to change. I came out wearing
heels and James told me I might want to wear boots or sneakers. I
saw that he was wearing his Timberland work boots, so I figured
I’d wear mine too. So this is what I wear,
(http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=51712648). I walk out of the
bathroom; James looks shocked. “You own Timberlands?”
He asks. “Yup!” I say proudly strutting around in my
boots. He just looks at me and smirks. “Well, you ready to
go?” He asks. “Yes!” I say throwing my arms
around him to hug him. He hugs back and kisses me.
“Let’s go.” He says. “I want to show you
something.” He says mysteriously. “Alright?” I
say questioningly. We go down stairs and I tell my mom that
I’m leaving with James and that I’ll be home later and
to tell Vanessa if she asks. She says okay and we walk out the door
holding hands. He opens and shuts the car door for me then runs
around the front and gets in his side. As we drive he’s
holding my hand with one hand and driving with the other. We keep
driving and driving and driving until we pull into a private
property dirt road. “Where are we going?” I ask him.
All he says is, “you’ll see” and smiles at me.
The road goes forever and we are approaching an old log cabin house
that looks abandoned and we’re in the middle of the woods. He
parks the car in front of the house then shuts the car off,
“Come on” he says while getting out of the car. So, I
get out of the car and walk around the car towards him. He’s
holding out a hand waiting for me to take it, so I do and we walk
up to the house and he knocks on the door. An old woman answers it,
“Hello? Oh it’s Jimmy!” she says then she hollers
back in the house, “George get out here, it’s
Jimmy!” She hugs him, then an old man comes and shakes his
hand and says hello. “Grandma, Grandpa, this is my
girlfriend, Ava.” James introduces me. “Oh our little
Jimmy has a girlfriend!” The old woman says as she hugs me.
“I was wondering if you guys minded if I took her out to the
old fish house?” James asked. “That’s no problem
at all, go ahead!” His grandma says excitedly. So James takes
my hand and walks me through the house and out the back door. We
then head out to a path behind the house into the woods. “So,
if you didn’t figure it out, this is my grand-parents’
house.” He smirks. “Yeah, I think I figured that
out.” I smirk back. “They call you Jimmy too?” I
say. “Yeah, a lot of my family does.” I realized I
haven’t even met James’ parents yet. We keep walking
through the woods. “Me and Camille used to come up here every
summer for half of the summer and stay with my grandparents. But, I
stopped coming up after Camille passed, because it brought back too
many memories and I got upset. It wasn’t the same coming here
without her.” He says getting emotional. I see him quickly
wipe his eye. I start to see a broken down wooden shed up ahead.
James walks me up to it and opens the door and brings me inside. I
noticed a sign on the door that was barely hanging on, it read:
“Camille and Jimmy’s Fish House” and I smiled at
it. We went inside and there was a bunch of old fishing poles,
buckets, old bait containers, hooks, and other fishing gear.
“Camille and I would come out here every morning to go
fishing.” He brings me out of the shed and around to the side
where there is a canoe and paddles. He takes the canoe down and
gets it lined up next to the lake. “Want to join me?”
He asks while starting to push the front into the lake. “Of
course I will” I reply. “Jump in it with the
paddles” He says. So I do. He pushes it in more, and then he
jumps in it too. He starts paddling until we are in the middle of
the lake. Then, he picks up the paddles and puts them into the
canoe. He moves closer to me and kisses me. Everything at that
moment felt perfect. I always thought that perfection wasn’t
completely possible, but at that moment it was. I loved him more
than anything. We keep kissing until he pulls away.
“I’m falling deeply in love with you Ava, so if you are
just playing me then you need to tell me before I fall too
deep” He says straight into my eyes. My eyes start to tear
up, “I’m in love with you James, I love you so
much” I say as I kiss him again. His eyes start to tear up
too and we both just sit there kissing. His hands are gently laid
upon my waist. “That’s good”, he says,
“Because I’ve already fallen too deep.” Then he
goes back to kissing me, and everything is even more perfect than
before. James is my first love and he loves me
back.
