***SOME LIGHT STEAMY SCENES***

As we pulled up to Dakota's i was practically dying to get out of the car. I loved hanging out with Dakota and the fact we were alone was going to be so fun. Dakotas house wasn't bad; it was a casual 2 maybe 3 at most story house, beige sandy colored, and had a porch that had rocks built to make the ledge/railing. it honestly was really pretty. As we parked i got out grabbing my bag that had all my stuff i bought. I walked up and knocked on the door. I heard footsteps coming towards the door. Dakota's mom opened it inviting me in. I waved bye to Nathan and walked in.

The walls were different shades or colors. there was a lot of pastel shades of blue and yellow and a light pink here and there. the layout reminded me of how the house on drake and josh was. but it had stairs to the right to the left was the kitchen and living room area. but the way there's doors leading to the living room in the drake and josh series kind of matched.

"Thank you for coming over. I just didn't want Dakota to be lonely here so i said he could have a friend or 2 over. Just behave and try not to break anything. If you guys need anything dakota has my number and its also on the fridge with some other near by family members who can help you guys with anything you need." Dakota's mom said. I thanked her and she handed me $500.00 for us to spend in the 2 weeks they would be gone. she said we could use it at the store or we could order out. I thanked her again and put it on the table in the middle of the living room.

she yelled for her husband as Dakota came in. His mom and dad grabbed their bags kissing/hugging him bye and walked out. I gave him a fist bump as we said hey and i started actually looking at the walls. there was A TON of family photos. they had at least 100 if not more everywhere on the walls.

 "My room is upstairs If you want to set your stuff down." Dakota prompts pulling me from the thoughts. I walked behind him as he walks up the stairs. His room was a lot bigger. the whole top floor was his. he had a mini fridge, a large bed, and a set of doors that I suppose was a closet.

We came downstairs to have a movie night and to just chill for the first night.

"Have you seen....Hunger Games?" I peeked my head out from the kitchen. "No, is it good?" I pulled the bag of popcorn from the microwave and added it to the large bowl we had. I added more chocolate syrup and cheddar cheese salt. I flipped the pan on top of it and gave it a good shake.

I sat down. "I don't know. my mom bought it. I guess we'll see." he popped it into the dvd player and grabbed 2 2 liters of cherry coke from his fridge setting one by me and opening his other one taking a large swig. I ate on the popcorn and tried to focus on the movie. half way through we ended up touching arms. I softly smiled. I wanted to know if he felt the same electricity I feel by him. 

around 1.A.M. the movie ended. "that was a good, but sad movie." I commented. "yea it was." he smiled. He put the movie up and took the dishes to the kitchen. i grabbed the drinks and he walked me back up to his room. we sat on his bed and was on our phones for a bit.

So do you believe in God?" Dakota asked off his phone. We had been playing a long game of questions. "No, I mean yes and no. I disagree with a lot of what the Bible says but I do believe that there is 'something' that is out there." I answered, which was true. "Okay your turn."

"Oh. The sun is shining through the window now." He laughed looking over. And indeed it was. "Well there goes all ideas of sleeping before dawn." He laughed. I liked when he smiled. He had this big dimples and his eyes crinkled on the side. "So why that tattoo?" I said pointing to the words on his arm. It said, 'It gets better'. I never really understood tattoos; mostly due to the fact that I've never had one. But I also never needed one.

"It's a reminder that no matter what I can make it through whatever life decides to throw at me. I had a rough childhood so this was my simple reminder that it gets better and that I can get over the inner child that went through what he did," He rubbing his hand over it. "It's a long story really." His words trailing off at the end. "Let's go eat breakfast?" I asked trying to lighten the mood. "Yea alright."

We decided to go out to eat. Nothing at the house sounded appeasing to him. I looked and there was a ton of options; But he is picky so I told him we could go out. I still had the credit card and I called my brother to tell him I'd be using it during my stay. I really didn't want to dip in the $500 we had on the table. I brought it upstairs and put it on his desk while we was gone. Even tho he locked the door i was always still worried about being robbed or having someone break in. at least in the room on the desk there was things to cover it with so i put his lamp on it.

We drove around for a minute before he pulled into this old looking building. Not 80's retro but like old and it looked like the maintenance was failing. We walked in and it looked amazing. There was a large chandelier and a few dim lights. It wasn't dark but it wasn't bright. It set a really soft mood. It was amazing. "Close your mouth before a fly gets you." Dakota said laughing over at me. I could feel my face heat up as I closed my mouth. It was just so cool here. a Host greeted us and led us to a booth. she handed us menu's and told us our server would be around shortly. i thanked her and started flipping through the menu.

"Hi, my name is Raelynn, i'll be your server today. May I start you off with some drinks?" She pulled out her notepad and looked over at us. I flipped through finding the drinks. I ordered a Cherry Coke and Dakota got A.W. Root Beer. She wrote it down and went to cook area. "She looked really familiar." Dakota randomly popped off with. I looked at him surprised that he even noticed. "Yea she did I could of swore I know her from somewhere." I said looking back at her. Maybe school? I don't know. I'd have to actually speak to her to find out. 

She came back with our drinks and asked if we were ready to order. I got meatloaf with corn, green beans, mashed potatoes and a side of gravy sauce. Dakota got a New York style steak and mashed potatoes and macaroni with cheese and queso sauce on the side. We talked about random nonsense through the whole breakfast/lunch and shared many laughs. We created quite a few people to look our way. By the time we left it was already going on at 11am. We had arrived at 9am earlier that morning.

We went out and then came back to the house it was nearing 7pm. We came in laughing at the jokes we had been telling each other. I headed straight up stairs and jumped onto his bed. It was comfy.

He came up and grabbed 2 cans from the fridge dropping it in my lap. It was a root beer can. I opened it taking a sip. "So I got a question but I don't want to offend you by asking it?" Dakota said staring up from his phone where he had been watching a video. I gave him an odd stare confused on what he was implying, "what's that?" I was confused considering we pretty much played 50 rounds of 21 questions last night. "I uh.... I wanted to now uhm... what your sexuality is?" He said looking down like he was scared i would lash out.

"I'm 2 things by society's standards. I'm either bi sexual or pansexual. Some people don't think pan and bi are 2 different things so i say both." I didn't see why it was such a big problem to ask but I didn't question him. "So you like all people?" He asked looking confused. "Technically yes. It's not like I want to be with EVERYONE. It's just that I'm attracted to all genders/ humans. So instead of being gay and liking only men or masculine labeled people i also like feminine or female labeled people as well." I stated. He just nodded. We sat in silence for a little bit. And then I felt something soft touch my lips. He kissed me. When I didn't respond he pulled back. "Sorry.. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. If you want me to call your brother to get yo-" he started to say but i leaned forward and kissed him. He immediately responded and kissed me back.

When we pulled back he was breathless. We kinda just stared at each other, not really knowing what to do now. "Ummm, so I probably should of said something before doing that." I stared at him scared of what would happen next.
