Chapter 33

And so does three-quarter of America's population, your point?
Instead of saying my rude statement, I smile. "So...Let's play a game."
"What type of game?"
"I'm not sure, you choose."
"Since you're driving the best game is twenty questions." The last time I played that game was my first year in college. My other years in college were spent partying and on loads of coursework to kill.
"Perfect, you start." It's always better to let the other person ask first to see the intensity of the questions that will be asked.
"Which month were you born in?"
I smile at the simplicity of his question. "June, you?"
"February. Your turn."
"What did you enjoy doing as a child?" For some reason, I was interested in knowing what little Seth was like.
"Apart from playing soccer with my brothers and cousins. I loved watching The Simpsons." I always heard people talking about The Simpsons, but I've never watched it before. "What about you?"
"Well," I laugh, "Definitely didn't play soccer or watch The Simpsons. Like most girls, I had a lot of dolls and stuffed animals and a lot of medical play kits. I'd pretend my students and I'd teach them, or I'd pretend there my patients and treat them. As for shows, I love, and I mean love Rugrats."
"I hate Angelica." I laugh at his words.
"Trust me, Seth, everyone hates Angelic. So ironic too, the word Angel is a part of her name."
"Devil in Disguise." I smile. We grow up in a time where cartoons were still good. Sometimes when I go on cartoon stations these days I wonder to myself. The only good cartoons that are being made now are Disney Animations and even as an adult I still sit down and watch Frozen, Brave and Mohana by myself.
"It's your turn to ask a question."
From the corner of my eyes, I watch him rubbing his head, "Who is your first kiss?"
I smile at the road ahead, "I was thirteen my parents had since me and my brother to a camp in Florida so the summer. Long story short, I was accidentally kissed by a 220-pound twelve-year-old, it was gross."
"How do you accidentally kiss someone?"
"Trust me you don't even want to hear his excuse." It a pathetic and lame excuse that I had believed when I was young.
"Trust me, I wanna hear." By his tone, I knew he wasn't going to give up.
Sighing, I begin to tell the most pathetic excuse ever. "My friends were playing Freeze, so I was stuck in one place and I couldn't move. My eyes were always close, so I couldn't see a thing. All of sudden I felt something smash on my lips. I immediately opened my eyes and pushed him away which took quite an effort on my part since I weight around 97 pounds and I'm pretty short. When I took him, he was removing the blinds from his eyes, because of his eyes covered with a handkerchief. He looked at me with a smirk. I shouted, "Why did you kiss me?" his reply was, "Well I kiss the tree and you're skinny as one, so I thought you were one." I punched him, and my brother and I got expelled from the camp. His name is Benjamin Wells."
When I finish Seth's, laughter fills the car.
I couldn't help but smile at the experience.
When his laughter calms down he said, "No that's what you call a first kiss story."
"What's your first kiss story?"
He laughs, "Nothing like yours." He laughs then continues, "I was twelve and I dare an Indian girl Rumi who I had a crush on to kiss me and she did."
"It's my turn to ask a question. I heard that this is a question you should never ask a guy but I'm going ask anyways. Who many girls have you slept with?"
He laughs, "Ah, woah. Not what I expected." He stays silent for a moment thinking then he continued, "Eleven. I'd had sex with 11 women."
"Woah, with your straight forwardness I expected more."
He shrugs, "And you? How many men have you slept with?"
"Three."
"Hmm. So, there's me, that Richard guy and who else?"
"How do you know about Richard?" Did I tell him about Richard? If I did, I have no memory of it.
"I'm a lawyer now tell me who is the next guy."
"He was my boyfriend in the first one and a half years in college." Morgan Fisher was a real sweetheart and smart too, but we wanted two different things in life and the chemistry wasn't there. We decided to call quits and be friends instead.
"That's the guy you lost your virginity to?"
I nod, "Yup. We were both virgins."
He laughs, "You have some stories."
"You have stories too." If there was any I'm certain of was that Seth has had loads of experience when it came to the world where I am still in a shell.
He nods his head, "Karishma Jones, you are something else."
So are you Seth Parker.
So are you.
"Woah. Tonight, was amazing. That restaurant was.....Great. Thanks for sharing it with me." I smiled as Seth expressed how great tonight had been. I couldn't agree more. Even though it took us an hour before we got our food we danced to Latino Music and even did the tango and salsa. Let's just say his feet weren't as fast as his tongue when it came to Spanish.
"You're welcome. Would you like to come to my place and we watch a movie?" It was still pretty early to go home on a Friday night and I needed the company.
"Sure."
.....
An hour later.
I laughed and shake my head at Seth, "I can't believe you burnt the popcorn."
"I didn't. The microwave did." He defended.
"You're the one who put it on seven minutes when the bag clearly stated three." I bent my head and looked at the burnt popcorns. I'm not eating those.
