Girl. Love. Girl.

I don't remember walking or sitting down or Mya straddling me but

there we were. In her room...on her bed...fully making out. Her hands

were on my face pulling me closer and mine were rubbing up and down on

her back. After a while we pull apart, breathing heavily.



"Wow," Mya said letting her hands rest on my shoulders as she caught

her breathe, "you're a really good kisser."



"So are you." I replied panting a little letting my hands rest on her

waist.



I gaze up to see her looking at me. We shared a smile then she leaned

in to give me a quick yet soft kiss. I swear if I were to die right

then and there, I'd be so happy my last few moments on Earth were

spent kissing Mya. I was already in Heaven.



"So," says Mya sitting back but still straddling me, "what are you

thinking?"



"Actually," I decide I might as well be completely honest with her, "I

was thinking about how I've wanted to kiss you since the first time I

saw you." I start to grow nerves having just admitted my crush on her

but she just continues to smile down at me.



"Really? I kind of always thought you didn't really notice me. We

hardly ever spoke to each other." She says as her eyebrows raise

slightly.



"Trust me, I've noticed for a long time. I was just too shy to talk to

you. Not to mention we don't exactly hang around the same crowd at

school."



Mya nods in understanding then takes a deep breathe. "Well, I've

noticed you too. And I guess I was a kinda shy too."



Hearing her tell me this causes me to blush. I cannot believe that she

has noticed me too! This is so trippy...but awesome!



"Seriously? For how long?" I ask as she starts to blush as well.



"Well I was attracted to you ever since we moved here. You always gave

off this mysterious vibe that had me so...curious. And physically,

you're pretty hot." She looked right at me and I knew I was blushing

like crazy. She spoke with such confidence and certainty that I

couldn't help it. "But I started to notice the 'crush' I had on you a

few months ago. Do you remember Aarons party last summer? The one

where he and Danny went streaking?"



I thought back and suddenly remembered that crazy night. "Oh yeah. I

also remember Aaron passing out mid-air doing a kegg stand. What an

idiot." We both lauged a little then I rememebered another thing from

that night. "Oh and there was another thing that happened...there was

a girl basically being attacked by one of the drunken football

assholes. Well I mean, they were both pretty wasted, but he was taking

things too far."



Mya grew serious and started to speak, "Yeah...well that girl was my

cousin who came with me. She was here visiting from Chicago and had

had way too much to drink. She and Greg had hit it off when I

introduced them that night...so much so that they disappeared. I

figured they were just talking or at the most making out. Heather does

like to drink but she doesn't do anything other then kiss." I closely

pay attention as Mya speaks. "Well she told me when they went outside

he started getting aggressive with her and she tried to make him stop.

She said he had her against the wall and was trying to take her shirt

off. Then out of nowhere he was pulled off of her and was on the

ground."



Right then I knew what happened next. I'd pulled Greg off her and

threw him to the ground as roughly as I could. What I saw him doing to

that girl made me so angry. When I asked her if she was okay, she just

nodded her head and rush back inside. "I just couldn't believe that

was happening. I went outside to call Kyle and tell him the party was

lame and then I heard her yelling for him to 'get off.' When I got

close enough to see what he was doing to her, I had to do something."



"She came in and found me and said she wanted to leave. When we were

driving home she started crying and told me what happened. She said

she didn't know who you were but she was so thankful you were there."

Mya smiled at me as I nodded for her to continue. "When we got home I

asked her to describe the girl who helped her but she started to feel

sick. After she threw up for like an hour she passed out. The next day

she saw you outside washing your car and told me it was you. She

wanted to go say something to you but she was embarrassed."



This was pretty surreal. "Wow," I said rubbing the back of my neck

trying to soak it all in, "I just assumed she was some girl from

another school or something since she didn't look familiar and I

hadn't ever seen her before or after then."



"Well when she pointed you out to me, I was kind of shocked. I didnt

even see you that night. I couldn't remember ever really seeing you at

those kinds of parties before. I really wanted to go thank you but for

some reason I couldn't work up the courage to talk to you. But I

couldn't help but notice you everytime I saw you after that and I

couldn't stop thinking about you. Then when I saw you rushing to your

car that morning I asked you for a ride, I decided that I just

couldn't wait to talk to you anymore."



I didn't know what to say. To me, this was all new and surprising and

I just couldn't believe it.



"I...um..." As I was about to say something, my phone started to

vibrate then ring. Mya arose from my lap and I instantly wanted to

pull her back, but instead I grabbed my phone out of my pocket.

"Sorry," I said to Mya as I checked my phone, "gimme two minutes, it's

my mom."



Mya smiled and gave me a nod as I stepped out of her room to answer

the phone. My mom just wanted to know what I was doing since she tried

calling the house phone a few times and I didn't answer. I told her I

went to a friends for dinner and lost track of time...which was as

close to the truth as I wanted to get.



When I got back into Mya's room I saw her sitting on her bed waiting

for me. I joined her and we shared a look.



"Well," I said looking from her eyes to the floor, "it's getting late.

I should get going."



"Okay," she said nodding and standing with me.



"So um, I'll see you at school tomorrow." I wasn't sure what to do

after that. Should I hug her? Shake her hand? Kiss her? 'Definetly do

NOT shake her hand Taylor!' I said to myself.



I guess Mya could sense my uncertainty because she pulled me into a

hug and said, "Ill see you then."



As we pulled apart she leaned in and gave me one last kiss. It short

but summed up how the night had gone...perfect.



When I got home I knew there was no way I'd be able to focus on

homework so I left it for the next day. 'Theres

always TA period.' I told myself Instead I took a shower and went to

bed.



'What. A. Night.' I thought to myself. I had no idea what it all meant

and there were still a ton of questions I had. Mainly, what was going

to happen with Mya and myself? Only time will tell I guess.



"Tomorrow," I breathed out loud, "oh boy."
