My head hurts when I woke up on Saturday morning. I groaned thinking about what happened last night. Bob said he loves me but threw up on my shoes instead. I looked at the clock beside my bed, it' already 10 o'clock am. Gosh! It's ok, I got enough sleep all ready. then, my phone rang. I stretched a little and picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hey! Good morning, Leigh," a voice cheered me up.

"Oh, hi Ray," I answered, rubbing my eyes. I smiled.

"Had enough sleep?"

"Yeah," I said, sitting up. "Why? How 'bout you?"

"Yeah, but last night I can't stop thinking about you," Ray continued.

I blushed. "Huh? Are you sure?"

"Yup, definitely," he replied. "Anyway, do you wanna go here today in my house? My folks are gone for today so I thought if maybe we could hang out here and talk. I also want to show you something."

"Ok," I mumbled. "Sure."

Just then, an incoming call beeped on the line. "Hold on a sec, will you?"

"Sure, anything for my girl," Ray fooled.

"Ok," I laughed. I pressed on the plunger and pressed 2 for the incoming call. "Hello?"

"Hi, Leigh," it's Bob.

"Oh, hi Bob," my heart sank. I remembered last night- what he just did. I wonder if he still remembers.

"Hi, I just want to say..." he stopped.

"What, Bob?"

"...good morning," he said sullenly.

"That's all?" I asked, half expecting of him to explain about last night's trouble.

"Yeah,"he assured me.

"Ok, I gotta go, Ray's on the other line," I said.

"Sure, call you later. Wanna stroll?"

"I'm sorry, Bob, but I can't. Ray asked me out first today," I explained. My heart sank coz it's been a while since Bob & I went out together.

"Oh, ok. Sorry I asked. Bye," I could hear the disappointment in the tone of his voice.

"Oh don't be sorry. Ok, bye," then I pressed on the plunger and went back to Ray. "Hello?"

"Yup, it's still me," Ray answered. "Who is that?"

"I'm sorry I kept you waiting it's... it's..." I can't lie but I have to. "Liza."

"Oh," Ray replied. "Did she broke another nail or something?" he joked.

I whinced. Liza could kill me for using her name but I know she'll probably understand. I just don't want him to make fun of my friends.

"No, it's about some important matters," I replied sternly.

"Ok, I'm sorry. I'm just joking," Ray apologized. "Oh well, so, see you later by lunch?"
 

"Ok," I mumbled.

"Great, see you then," he chuckled.

"Sure," then we hang up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before lunch time, I set to go to the  Simon's house. Their house is only 5 streets away from us and I don't mind walking through it because I need some time to be alone with myself.

A few minutes later,I was walking through the path to the Simon's house, observing how beautiful their fully furnished lawn and big garden full of fresh flowers. Then, I walked way ahead to their doorstep. I buzzed their doorbell.

"Hi,Leigh," Ray opened the door with a smile. He eyed me from head to toe. He looked great with his blue sweatshirt and cream khakis. "Come on in." He planted a kiss on my cheek.

"Hi, nice to see you," I replied as I stepped inside their house. It's still cozy as ever there.

"You,too. Have you eaten lunch?"

"Oh, no, not yet," I answered.

"Good, because lunch is set outside at the backyard," he smiled.

"Great," I smiled as we walk our way to it.

We sat on a table set for two, on their backyard, beside their pool.

"You cooked?" I asked, amazed, looking at the dishes on the table.

"Yeah. Sort of," he replied. "I'm learning, though, especially if your parents are always out on a business trip but often times our housekeeper does the cooking."

"Oh," I replied. Then we eat. "Hmm, what is this? This tastes great."

"Well, it's a blue marlin on tomato sauce," he smiled, showing again his killer smile.

"Oh, delicious," I replied, taking another bite.

"Yeah, it's one of my fave treat. I'm glad you liked it," he said. "Later, I'm gonna show you my collections."

"Sure you bet," I replied. Then, we talked about a lot of stuffs- technology, good food, being a quarterback, being an only child of a busy parents, having a brother, how cool school is, his friends are, my friends are, etc.

After we eat, he showed me to a room full of his collections- his awards, his caps, and his jerseys. He gave me one of his fave jerseys, stating at the back Simon 36. I said thank you and handled it on my shoulders. He said I should keep it. It's mine now.

Then, by afternoon, we decided  to sit by the pool. We sat on the towels and dipped our bare feet on the pool as we continued to talk about so many stuffs.

"Well, Leigh, to be completely honest, I really like you right from the start. You should ask the boys in my class how I talk about you a lot," Ray confessed sincerely.

"You're kidding me right?" I asked him. Fooling around, I splashed some water from the pool, to him.

"Hey, no,"he smiled back, splashing me with some water, too.

"Hey!" I shouted. "Stop it!"

"Well, who started it first?" he laughed as he slightly tugged me to the pool. "Anyway, it's been 3 months now."

"Yeah," I splashed him some water, pulling him, too.

"Well, Leigh, you're in for some surprise,"he pulled us down into the water.

"Argh!" I shouted as we made our way to the pool. Ray is still holding my hand. "Ray, please!"

Then, we floated upward the pool.

"Leigh," Ray looked at me. "I love you," he closed his eyes, so, I closed my eyes, too, as he neared the kiss.

"Ray," I shivered as his lips touched mine. I can't say it to him. Why? He brushed my wet hair with his hands and continued kissing me again. I kissed him back.His hands moved to my back and stroking it up and down. A bolt of electricity went up my spine. Why? Is the question inside my mind.

"I think we ought to do it," Ray motioned me seriously. "C'mon."

I just nodded as he pulled me up the pool. But I'm not so sure. He placed a towel on my back, then, we went up to his room. He closed the door behind him and he looked at me. He started pulling off his sweatshirt. He wiped his body with his towel and showed me his killer smile.

Wow! He has a great bod. I can't resist him. I thought. Then, as if I have no clue, he approached me and started whispering in my ear, "It's been three long months." He looked at me in the eye. He hugged me and he started unzipping my dress at the back. I shivered. Then, my soaked dress pulled down to the floor. I felt bare standing in front of him. Then, he kissed my neck and I jumped up a little.

"Chill.I'll be gentle with you, ok?" he smiled at me. I nodded as he clothed me with the towel. Then, he lead me to his bed. I sat as he seem to move close to me. He unzipped his pants. I looked at him in shock.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked uncertain, as he pulled down his pants.

"Yup.Uh-huh. We love each other, right?" At least, that's what I thought.I smiled a little at him, to ease the tension.

"Ok."

Then, I lay down on his bed as he kissed me.I closed my eyes. Why do I have this mixed feelings inside of me? Do I really want him? His kisses were getting more and more intense. I kissed him back. Then, I can feel his hands moving down my stomach and upward my thighs. I moaned and moved a little.

"It's going to be alright," he replied. "I love you, Leigh. Always remember that."

I just gulped as I saw him unpack a condom. "I know, I believe you, Ray." I remembered Bob asking me, Have you been laid? No, that's what I answered. Bob!

Then, Ray smiled as he started pulling my wet undies down. A shiver went up my spine. I just came to my senses. How could I be so stupid? How did I get myself into this? Bob! Bob! Bob is all I wanted all this time. Bob is who I love.

"Are you ready?"as he seem to make his move on top of me.

"No, Ray," I exhaled. "Please stop!"
