Free Unexpected Love (Unexpected Series) by Charlene Martin

passion and wanting in it. He pulls me up; I wrap my legs around his hips, I run my hands all over his body while pulling him against me as tight as I can. He carries me to the shore and lays me in the sand. I look up into his eyes and it looks like he is asking me a silent question. I am a little frightened because I’m not sure how to answer his question. I really want him right now, but I have always wanted to wait until I was married. Oh shit, what do I do?
         My mind is racing. I can’t think clearly with his lips all over me. This burning inside of me is saying to go for it, but the logical side of me is saying not yet. Trying to figure this out I contemplate, mom got me on the pill and I will be safe, but do we even have a condom? Oh God what do I do? Just as I think that, the sky opens up and it starts to poor down rain. We get up and rush to the car. I think to myself that was a close one. Thank God!
          I see them playing in the water together. I was a bit concerned when he dunked her, but she seems okay. I have to say that Damon has really been trying for her. Maybe he is not such a loser after all. I still do not like the idea of him being with her, but I can see how happy he makes her. He begins to kiss her and I have gotten pretty use to it by now. It is not until she is lying in the sand and his lips are all over her that I get upset. I fear for her in this moment. She has always wanted to wait until she is married and I would really hate for her to give him something so precious. I can’t take my eyes off her. When she looks up to the sky, I sense her distress; I know I have to do something to stop this.
          Damon drives me home and I head to the shower. When I go downstairs, mom and dad are home. Mom calls out, “I ordered pizza.”  Dad is in the living room watching the History Channel.
         I walk into the kitchen and ask, “Mom, can we chat?”
         “Sure honey, you know you can always talk to me about anything.”
          Smiling I reply, “I know, Damon and I went to the beach after community service and well things kind of got complicated.”
          She looks to me with knowing eyes, “Complicated as in you had sex?” 
          Shaking my head no, “No, not exactly. I think Damon wanted to, but I was really close to doing it and it scared me. I was happy when it started to rain. I wasn’t sure how I was going to handle the situation. Part of me wanted to, but the other part objected.”
          “Well honey, first of all it sounds like you need to have a talk with that boy and let him know where you stand on all this sex stuff and second of all I would be thanking the good Lord up stairs for the rain.”
          Thinking about this for a minute, I realize there wasn’t a cloud in sight before it started to rain. I wonder where the hell the rain came from. Letting that thought go for now I tell mom, “I will talk to him soon, thanks for listening.”
         “Anytime baby.”
         We eat our pizza in the living room and mom and I win the remote over from dad. We get to watch our favorite show ‘Vampire Diaries’. I swear the Damon in that show reminds me so much of my Damon. My Damon however doesn’t hold a candle to Ian Somerhadler. We saw this episode last Thursday, but dad doesn’t know that. I can’t stand to watch the History Channel. Like who needs to know how something is made or why this happened. So what if the Hatfields and the McCoys are fighting and killing each other. It is all too boring for me. I like drama, and especially teen drama.
         My mom being in her forties even likes it. We sit every night at 8 pm in front of the TV and watch our teen dramas. Dad usually just sits back and makes fun of them. He is such a comedian. I finish my pizza just as the show ends. I get up, kiss my parents goodnight, and head to bed. 
          Just like every other night, I dream of him again. We are back on our
