Nathan and I ordered our food and found a spot to sit. We ended up ordering the same thing, nachos. It baffles me how alike we are. "Do you always get nachos when you come here?" I asked. He nodded, "Yeah." I smiled, "I do the same thing. It baffles me how much we have in common, but at the same time, I love it." I said. "Mmm-hmm" he said with a mouth full of food.
All of the sudden we heard a commotion outside. We heard yelling and fighting. We looked at each other, both of us had an eyebrow cocked.
We ditched our food and went outside. As soon as we went outside someone grabbed Nathan. Nathan elbowed the guy who grabbed them. They broke out into a full on fight.
I was so caught up in watching Nathan's fight that I wasn't ready to dodge who grabbed me. A guy had me in a strong choke hold that I knew would be hard to get out of. I struggled for a few minutes, but to no extent. I went limp so the guy thought that I gave up.
"Damn, you don't put up much of a fight." he said. His grip on me loosened and I dropped to the floor and stepped away from him. Before he could even think about grabbing me I turned around and kicked him as hard as I could in his crotch.
He fell to the floor and I started repeatedly kicking him in the gut. On the 9th kick he grabbed my foot and yanked me down. He then straddled me and started punching me. I punched him in the throat then pushed him off of me. Then I hit him very hard in the head, causing him to pass out.
I looked up, out of breath, and saw Nathan looking at me. He was impressed. "Damn, not too long ago you were crying and needed me. Now you just got done kicking some serious ass. Renée, you are one hell of a badass." I smiled and walked over to him, "Thank you. Where is the guy who you were fighting?" I asked.
"I restrained him, then gave him half the money I owed him. He'll come back for me some other time to get the other half. The guy who attacked you was preparing to use you to get me to give up the money. The guy I gave the money agreed to let me wait to give him the other half until I got it. He was gonna try to kill me, emphasis on try." he laughed.
"Well ok, I have enjoyed spending time with you, but now I have to go home. Could you take me home?" I asked. He nodded, "Yeah sure. I left our lunch money on the table." He said. We had a quiet drive home.
When we got there, he gave me a small hug. "I hope I'll see you soon, considering you're my girlfriend now." he said. I smiled at the word girlfriend and watched him drive away.
I headed back to my room and texted my brother Kameron, my favorite brother.
R: Hey
K: Hey
R: So, I have something to tell you.
K: What is it?
R: As of about an hour ago, I have my first boyfriend.
K: That's awesome. Just so you know if he breaks your heart I'll kill him.
R: Nuh uh, that's my job. You don't get to kill him.
K: Do I get to help?
R: Fine
K: Thanks lol
R: His name is Nathan, and he's a lot like me.
K: That's good, you must really like him
R: Yeah, I really do
K: I'll talk to you later sis, I gotta go to work
R: ok, bye
K: bye
I got up from my bed and headed to Dad and Mom's room. "So, I have a boyfriend now." I said when I got there. "Good, move in with him." Dad said jokingly. "Is it Nathan?" Mom asked. "Yes, and I'm not gonna move in with him." I said rolling my eyes.
"You know, you can't live here forever." Dad said. "I know." I said. "How long do I have until you guys make me leave?" I asked. "I don't know, but we'll tell you a month in advance." I nodded, "Thank you." I said.
I know I have to move out eventually. I decided to start with online college and then go to a university later. I almost have enough money to move into a cheap apartment.
My phone went and I grabbed it from my dresser. It was a text from Nathan.
N: Are you feeling better?
R: What do you mean?
N: You were sad about your mom.
R: Oh, right. I feel better now, I think it helped I when beat up that dude. Thank you for checking on me.
N: No problem. You did great when beating him up, but I've been worried about you ever since you started crying.
R: I don't like to cry in front of people, I guess when I'm with you I let my walls down.
R: I'm glad you do that, since we're dating now, I'd like it if you depend on me.
R: I can try, but I've always liked being more independent.
We talked for a few more hours before he had to go to work, he works at Hot Topic. I would hate to work in the mall.
"Yo, I'm finally back from work." my sister said on her way into our room. "I have something to tell you." I said. She lifted an eyebrow and came to sit on my bed with me. I recapped her on today. "Well you've had a long day. I can't believe you finally have your first boyfriend. How does it feel?" she asked.
"I don't know, it doesn't feel bad. I kinda like it." I admitted. "Yeah?" she asked. I laughed, "Yeah."
"So, how was your day?" I asked. She shrugged, "Fine. J invited me to go to the beach with him on my day off. Dad said I could go." J is her other best friend. He's tall, mixed, has short curly hair, crazy built, and has a nose piercing and earrings. Overall he's a pretty cool dude.
I gave her a look. "Don't give me that look. He's good looking, but we are just friends." I laughed, "Ok, ok. He is good looking." I said. "Watch it, you have a boyfriend now." she said.
"Yeah, that I do. I need to get used to that." I said. "Now, I feel bad for calling another guy good looking." I said. "Well next time you see him, tell him and apologize." she said. "I'll tell him eventually."
