Our parents didn't get home until almost three that morning. I heard them come in, I expected them to come and check on Calvin and me, however they didn't. They went right to their room. I must have drifted off, because the next thing I knew Calvin was in my room trying to wake me.
"Hey, mom and dad want you to get ready for breakfast."
"Alright, I'm up."
Calvin bent down and kissed me. It was as if he was assuring me that he meant what he had said last night. I reached behind his head and pulled him closer. I loved the taste of his lips. He pulled away, giving me a look that said I had better hurry. He walked out of my room and back to his.
I got up and showered. I quickly got dressed and ready, I knew my parents wanted to get to breakfast before it got too late. I don't want to make mom mad today. I want to let Calvin enjoy his day. I am also hoping that Calvin and I can make it to his grandparent's farm house today.
I was downstairs ready for breakfast when the phone rang. Mom answered it, she went downstairs to her room to take the call. I guess she needed privacy for this call. Dad came in from outside looking for mom. I told him she and answered the phone and gone downstairs. He went downstairs to find out what was going on.
A few minutes later both mom and dad came upstairs. They asked me to find Calvin and come back down to the living room, they had something they needed to tell us. I went to Calvin's room, and told him about the call, and now mom and dad needed to talk to us.
Calvin and I walked downstairs unsure of what was going on. We went into the living room and sat down on the couch. Mom waited a second, it looked like she was trying not to cry. She finally spoke and said that her aunt had passed away, and that she and dad were going to leave for Virginia today. Dad said he was sorry they were missing Calvin's party, I could tell he would have rather stayed with Calvin. Dad said that they had decided that since we still have a week and a half left of school before Thanksgiving they were going to let us stay home. He said that they would be back sometime the week after Thanksgiving. He said they had to catch the plane to Virginia in an hour, and they should be in Petersburg by late tonight.
Mom and dad got up and walked downstairs to pack. I was kind of relived. I was worried that maybe someone had seen us last night. I slowly got up and walked back to my room. Afraid to admit how relived I was that we weren't being forced to go. As a bonus Calvin and I now had the house to ourselves for two weeks. I had just reached my room, when Calvin came up behind me following me to my room.
"I am going to watch them leave, don't go anywhere please"
"Where would I go? I want to talk to you. So I will wait here for you."
"Good, I will be back in a few minutes."
Calvin walked out of my room and down the stairs. I sat on my bed thinking of all the things I wanted to tell Calvin when he came back up. I wanted to tell him how I was scared of what would happen with us with our parents gone for two weeks. I wanted to tell him how happy I was that we would be together without fear of our parents finding out.
I let my thoughts wonder, as I waited for Calvin. Calvin knocked on my door 20 minutes later, and walked in. There was a look on his face that I couldn't read. I was worried something had happened.
"What's wrong?"
"First tell me what you are thinking about."
"I am glad we don't have to go to the funeral, I am glad that we will be spending Thanksgiving break together without worrying if our parents are going to find out, I am scared of what is going to happen with us. I am worried that you have changed your mind."
The look on his face relaxed. He must have had similar thoughts to mine. He reached over, pulled me to my feet, and pulled me into his arms and held me.
"I am glad we don't have to go to the funeral either. I haven't changed my mind. However during week at school we are going to have to act normal. I am going to tell you what is going to happen with us. We are going to spend the next two days screwing each other. Tonight we are going to do it at my grandparent's farm house like planned. We are going to sleep together the entire time mom and dad are gone. We are going to figure out what to do when they get back."
"Are you scared of what we are doing?"
"Only a little. I love you, I love you more than you know. I have been trying for so long to hide it from you. I know what I want. I know I want you, and I know that I hate not having you with me."
"What are we going to do about your party?"
"I already took care of that, you and I are only going to stop in for a few minutes, on our way to the farm house. Right now we need breakfast though, so if you are up for it I think we should go."
"Today is your day. I will do anything you want me to do today."
"Anything?"
"Anything."
Calvin kissed me gently, than pulled me out of my bedroom. He gently pulled me after him as he went down the stairs and out the front door to his car. I didn't tell Calvin, but I wasn't really up for breakfast. I was only going because I wanted to make him happy. He drove to a place down the street that serves breakfast all day. When we got there nobody else was there. We must have come between the breakfast and lunch rush. I was grateful for the quiet.
I was still confused about Calvin. I loved him with all of my heart. I wanted this more than anything else. I had wanted this for three years. Why did he wait until now to change his mind? Did he have something up his sleeve? I know he would not hurt me intentionally, it wasn't his nature. As if on cue Calvin started to explain what I wanted to know from him.
