his handsome face as he was sitting beside me. He himself could do an ad for Hollister or Abercrombie. His smell… yep, definitely Hollister. The previews had already started, and it occurred to me this was the first time I had been in the dark with a boy. I was hoping tonight would be different since it was an official date compared to the party. I had assumed he understood that.
Cannon put his arm around my shoulder, and I leaned in a bit to feel him. This felt good, nothing forced, just natural.
A third of the way through the movie, he moved his arm and reached for my hand, then a few minutes later he let go and put his hand on my thigh. I almost jumped and spilled my popcorn when I realized what he was doing. I sat there and froze while my mind was no longer on the scary movie but more on what Cannon might do next. I was more afraid of what move he was going to try next than the next scene in the movie. I was well aware of his advancements and how many girls whom he had dated not by choice mind you. I had heard the rumors. But I didn’t think I was like any of the other girls. I was totally different in fact and assumed he understood that.
He leaned in as if to whisper something to me but instead kissed my neck lightly right under my ear. That time I did jump.
I jumped back and whispered, “What are you doing, Cannon?”
He didn’t look near as shocked as I was while giving me an answer to the question I wasn’t sure I wanted answered.
“Shhhh, don’t be so loud. I just wanted to make out a little…”
I had never even kissed a guy and he is trying to make out. I’m not really even sure what that entails but I knew I didn’t want to find out tonight.
“Look, that’s just not me. This is our first date, Cannon. My first date ever.”
“So?”
“So, do you normally make out with girls on your first date?” I was getting upset.
“Sometimes… You are just so pretty, Reese. You’re different than the other girls.”
“You bet your ass I am different. I have never even kissed a guy before.”
He just stared at me shocked by my confession. I’m once again embarrassing myself. And the Academy Award goes to Reese Owens for the most embarrassing moments!
When he didn’t say anything I hightailed it out of the movie theater and to the ladies restroom. I splashed water on my face and tried to calm myself down. Not only now did I reject him but I also humiliated myself. I was so not ready for this.
I walked out of the restroom and Cannon was waiting for me by the door.
I just smiled and walked towards him. Here goes nothing . I had to wonder how did I continue to get myself into these situations?
“Reese, if you aren’t ready for that, I’m cool with that. For now anyways.”
“Thanks.” For now? Fat chance in hell.
We watched the rest of the movie and I pretended to concentrate on it hoping he wouldn’t try anything else. And he didn’t but it was too late. I already had my guard up and I wasn’t loosening up anytime soon.
I waited outside for my dad alone. Cannon had already left not concerned I was standing outside in the dark without anyone. Alone. I knew if I was with Garrison tonight he would’ve waited until I was safe.
When my dad pulled up I was happier than I thought I would be.
Definitely not an ordinary night.
Chapter 6
Reese
At lunch, Cannon came marching up with his few friends by his side. I hadn’t seen him since that night at the movies. The only conclusion I had come to regarding him was that since we had been friends for so long I needed to try to look disregard his ways as hard as that might be at times. To be honest, I hadn’t thought of him further than that though. Only Garrison. I keep thinking of us on that Ferris wheel and thinking of what could have happened. What I wanted to happen even though I really wasn’t sure what “it” was.
“Hey, Reese.” He
