chapter 10

while the adults were on vacation, she called one of the boys from her party to come over to play video games. she called Damien.
damien: so, whats up ma?
Zorah: nothing, I just wanted someone to play with. so I figured I could get to know you while I kick your ass at this game.
damien: what do you want to know about? he swerves the car in the game.
zorah: well for starters, I am assuming you and your brother are new to town because I haven't seen you two before unless you were living under a rock. she laughs.
d: that's right.  my brother and I  moved here about a week ago. our dad got a divorce and wanted to move.  so here we is. 
z: so how did you know about my party?
d: I didn't. my brother and I were walking by and saw you were having a party figured it was a nice way to make some friends. I didn't know I would be breaking and entering a pretty girl's house.
zorah was taken back.
z: pretty?
d:yeah. didn't you know you were beautiful?
z: pretty and beautiful are two different descriptions. what are you getting at Damien?
d:well, I think you are beautiful. I was trying to not to come on strong.
z: well-played kid.
damien looks at the time.
d: I got to go. this was nice. see you next time. 

the next day, the adults came home. but she asked Damien if he wanted to hang out. he agreed and they met up.  

z: hey
d:hey. cant get enough of me eh? he laughs.
z: blushes. boy please, I can get anyone I want. I just wanted to tell you a couple of things.
d:whats's that?
z: I think I like you.
damien walks up to her. she couldn't breathe. she was nervous. Damien smiled. 
d:do you now?
he grabbed her face.
d: what if I said I liked you too?
z: i... I guess.. that is ok.
d: well, i do.
he leans in to kiss her and they kiss. 

after leaving Damien, she got home and was so excited. she felt butterflies and the tingle of his lips on hers. "what is wrong with me ?" she said. "is this love?" she went to bed thinking about Damien.
