Chapter Sixteen
XANDER
––––––––
After we say goodnight, I hold Kendra’s hand and descend the steps from her parents’ house.She truly doesn’t realize what an amazing woman she is.I can’t keep my eyes off of her.My heart beats because of her.
All the years growing up feeling alone, it was worth it to bring me to her.The only decent foster family I had was my last.I was sixteen, and Margie took me under her wing.She spoke to me about all the trials and tribulations I’ve been through and will go through in the future.
Margie is the one who convinced me and explained how my virginity is sacred, how I should wait for the one woman I love and couldn’t stand to live life without.That is Kendra for me.
I pull the car door open and close it behind her, then walk around the car and get in.We both buckle, and the engine turns over.
“Are you okay?”She asks, checking her rearview and side mirrors.
“Nervous,” I admit, but with her, I can be honest.I am not ashamed.
We are quiet the rest of the way home.Once we park, I pull the handle and meet her in front of the car.
“Your house or mine?”she asks, smiling from ear to ear.
I’m going to do this, going to make love to her.I may not be any good, but she is the one.It took one kiss for me to fall in love with her, and I knew if she would be patient with me, we one day would be together, and now that day has come.
“Up to you,” I tell her as we walk up the sidewalk.
“Okay, yours.”She says, releasing my hand and turning toward her steps.Confused, I stop and ask, “Where are you going?”She giggles, “to get your gift, silly.I’ll be over in ten minutes.”She slides the key into the lock and disappears inside.
I dash up the walkway and step into my apartment.Once inside, I glance around to make sure the living room isn’t a mess, and then I check the bedroom.The bed is made good.
I use the bathroom, check my armpits to make sure I don’t smell, and then brush my teeth.My nerves are a mess, but I want her.No, I need her because I love her.
A knock comes from the door, and sweat forms on my forehead.
All or nothing, here we go.
