better. She won't look at me at all.

Once we get to her house she tries to get out, but I grab her hand to keep her from leaving. She pulls and I let her go. She gets out and I follow.

"Lyla. Wait. I'm sorry for whatever I said." I say trying to make things better.

"It's fine. Thank you. I had a great time." She says still hiding behind her hair.

"I'm glad. Will you at least at me though?" I ask hoping that she will stop hiding behind her hair. She doesn't. I move her hair and tilt her head up to look at me. "Can I kiss you?" I ask, hoping I can.

She nods and I gently place my lips on hers. She kisses me back and tangles her hands in my hair. We break apart breathing heavily. She is amazing.

"Thank you. I had a great time." I say trying to get in the house as fast as possible. That was so embarrassing.

"I'm glad. Will you at least look at me though?" he asks. I don't. I'm too embarrassed. He moves my hair and tilts my head up to look at him. "Can I kiss you?"

I nod and he gently places his lips on mine. I tangle my hands in his hair and kiss him hard. He is so good at kissing. We break apart breathing heavily. He's the best. He rests his forehead on mine, our breaths mingling.

"That was the best kiss ever." he says, still tyring to control his breathing. "You're amazing"

"Thanks. That was my first kiss." Ugh. Face smack. I shouldn't have told him that.

"Wow. Then with that being your first kiss I think it's appropriate to ask. Lyla Marie, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Of course. But two questions."

"Anything for a beautiful girl like you." he replies looking into my eyes.

"First, was I really that good or are you just saying that?"

"I was not lying. You are amzing. I swear it."

"Okay. Second question. How did you know my middle name?"

"I asked Jacob when I called to ask if it was okay to take you on a date." he shrugs like it's no big deal.

"And he wasn't concerned at all?" Jacob is my step-dad. My mom remairred him after my father died in the military.

"He was, but I told him it was to ask you out. Hey don't cry. It's okay." he says wiping a tear off my cheek.

"I'm sorry. I'm fine. It's just that nobody has done anything like that for me." I'm so embarrassed. "Can we go inside. I'm freezing."

"Absolutely." he say and smiles. He opens the door and lets me go in first. I smile and kiss him on the cheek.

"Can you stay here tonight? Mom and Jacob both work late." She asks.

"Sure. Just let me call my dad so he doesn't worry about where I am." I step out of the room and dial my dad.

When I come back in Lyla is sleeping on the couch. I pick her up and go upstairs. Her room has a sticker saying it's hers so I open the door and lay her on the bed. I take her shoes off and put them on the floor. I run out to the car and get my change of clothes. I keep them in there in case of emergencies. I come back in and take my shoes off at the door. I go upstairs and crawl in bed. I'm asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.

Chapter 6

 ~Lyla~

I wake up to the sound of the shower running. Memories of last night come flooding back. Gage is in my shower. I sit up and wait for him to come out. He comes out about 5 minutes later with a towel wrapped around his waist.

"You can stop staring at any time" he says smirking at me.

I quickly look away. "I wasn't staring." I lie and blush. Okay, so I was staring. He's hot and he has a six pack.

"Right." He replies sarcastically. "You have 2 hours to get ready for school. I'm going to get dressed and make breakfast." he drags me off the bed, kisses me, and pushes me into the bathroom. I shut the door and lock it. Then I get into the shower.

Half an hour later I'm done in the shower. I step out and towel off. I walk out and look for some clothes to wear. It's sunny out, but still cold, so I put on some skinny jeans, a light blue long sleeve, and grab my blue Vans. I brush my hair so it dries faster. I'll finish doing my hair and makeup after I eat.

Downstairs I can hear Gage humming to a song while he cooks. I walk into the kitchen and he is shaking his hips and lip singing with a spoon to Taylor Swift's Blank Space. I start laughing and he jumps and turns around.

"That's not funny Lyla!" He says, glaring at me, a small bluch coating his cheeks.

"It is funny though." I insist, trying, and failing, to smother my grin.

"Shut up! If you tell anyone I will hurt you." He says backing me up into the counter and wraping his arms around me.

"Oh. I am so scared." I say leaning up to kiss him.

"Good," he says between kisses, lifting me onto the countertop, "you should be."

I kiss him a little longer, until his hands start to wander. Then I push him away saying that I need to eat and get ready.

"Ah come on. The eating can wait." He whines.

"The eating can yes, but me getting ready can't. We can continue this later." I say with a wink and hop off the counter to get food.

After eating I brush my teeth and finsh my hair. I'm just staring on my makeup when Gage comes in.

"Can I help you with anything?" I ask pulling out my eyeliner.

"Yup." he says wraping his arms around me and kissing my neck.

"Gage. I have to finish getting ready for school. We are going to be late." I say.

"Who cares. Skip with me. Just one day. Please?" He asks with a puppydog face.

"Ugh fine. Just today though." I say in my most stern voice, turing around to kiss him.

"Thank you." he lifts me up and sets me on the bed, never breaking the kiss.

"Gage are you sure we should do this? I wouldn't want to ruin your perfect attendance." I say.

"I'm fine Lyla. I would skip the world for you, if you weren't my world." He says kisses me.

"Oh Gage. I love you." He stops kissing me and stares at me.

"You mean it?"

"Of course I mean it."

"I love you too Lyla. You're everything I want and so much more." I smile and kiss him passionately.

~Gage~

I get in the shower while Lyla is still sleeping. When I get out she is sitting up in bed.

"You can stop staring at any time."I say smirking. She looks away quickly and blushes.

"I wasn't staring." She lies. She was staring.

"Right." I say, disbelieving. "You have 2 hours to get ready for school. I'm going to get dressed and make breakfast." I drag her off the bed, kiss her and push her towards the bathroom. She shuts the door and locks it. A minute later I hear the shower running. I start getting dressed. When I finish getting dressed I go downstairs to make breakfast.

I have Blank Space by Taylor Swift stuck in my head, so while I'm making breakfast I dance around to it and lip sing with whatever I can find. I don't hear the water shut off and I don't hear Lyla come downstairs, so when she starts laughing I jump.

"That's not funny Lyla!" I say with a small blush creeping onto my cheeks.

"It is funny though." She says trying, an failing, to hide her grin.

"Shut up! If you tell anyone I will hurt you." I says backing her up into the counter and wraping my arms around her.

"Oh. I am so scared." She say leaning up to kiss me.

"Good," I says between kisses, lifting her onto the countertop, "you should be."

Chapter 7

~Lyla~

Gage went home that night, after my mother insisted that he stay for dinner. I kissed him and sent him on his way. He promised me he would pick me up before school the next day. So here I am, getting ready for Gage to come get me.

My alarm goes off at 6:00. Sleepily I reach around trying to shut it off. Finally I get it, and by then I'm awake. I climb out of bed and hop in the shower. After I finish showering I start picking out my clothes. It's chilly out today so I grab a cute sweater and some skinny jeans. I'm just finishing with my hair when my mom hollers for me to come down and eat.

 "Give me a minute." I holler back. I finish up with my hair and rush downstairs to eat. Mmm, pancakes. My favorite. I eat breakfast and rush back upstairs. I brush my teeth and do my make-up. I'm just finishing my make-up when I hear a horn honk.

"Lyla. Gage is here." my mom hollers at me.

"Almost done." I yell back looking for my ankle boots. Finding them, I slip them on, grab my bag, and run downstairs. Gage is waiting at the door talking to my mom.

"Done. Let's go." I say pulling him along.

"Calm down. We still have 10 minutes." he says checking me out. "You look good by the way."

"Thank you. I don't want to be late though." I say rushing to the car.

We get in and he pulls out of my driveway. The whole time all I can think about is telling Casey and Samantha about my date with Gage. A small smile forms on my lips when I think about him dancing in the kitchen yesterday. I am definitely telling them about that.

 

~Gage~

I look over at Lyla while I drive. She is so beautiful. I'm so lucky to have fallen in love with her... and to have her love me back. She smiles and looks out the window as I drive. I don't ever want this to end. I reach over and take her hand. She looks at me and smiles, squeezing my hand.

We get to school and as soon as we get out, Samantha and Casey are right there waiting for us.

"OMG! Where were you yesterday? I thought you had died. You never miss school!" Samanthat practically yells at Lyla.

"I was skipping." she stage whispers glancing my way, her eyes sparkling.

"Ooh. Tell me everything." Casey
