Chapter 20 by Chip_Arranger Chip_Arranger

Do you two leave reasonably?

Yes

Neither of you have drunk anything, so you decide to leave while you're ahead, because you don't want to get involved in something in the event that the party goes south. You bid Isabella goodbye, and she shoots you a nod while trying to talk to someone who looks completely wasted. As you close the door behind the two of you, the cool air hits the two of you, and the fresh air feels great after the stuffy feeling in that house.

"It's still pretty early," Amy said. "Do you want to go somewhere?"

It wasn't really that early, it was 11:00, so most places weren't open still. However, you were running on an adrenaline high still, so you certainly weren't going to be able to sleep for a little while.

"Sure," you responded. "You want to go over to the park?"

"That sounds wonderful", Amy said.

As the two of you walk along the asphalt paths towards the park, the tension between the two of you is present, but nowhere near as bad as it was during your shopping spree the weekend before. While waiting for the walk sign to appear at an intersection, Amy takes your hand into hers.

"My mom always said to hold hands while crossing the street", she said, lightening the tension with one of her usual jokes.

"Well, I guess we should just keep holding hands, since we have to cross quite a few streets on the way to the park and it'd just be inconvenient to keep breaking apart", you joke back.

Even though the two of you were joking about holding hands while crossing the street, both of you knew why you were holding hands. You especially, because the love score of 81 was nothing to turn your nose up at. It's over halfway to the maximum score of 150, and the Affection Multiplier said that most married couples held steady wavering around 100.

Once you reach the park, you make your way to one of the paths around the lake. The placid surface of the water, the quiet breeze brushing by the trees, and the full moon create such a picturesque moment for the two of you to share.

"Cody...I know it might be kinda soon, but there's something I need to talk with you about", Amy says, breaking the mostly silent air.

"Alright, what is it?" you ask, although you already are pretty certain what she's going to talk about.

"We've been really good friends for years now, like since we were both little kids", she starts. "But I've been thinking, and I'm sure you have too with our recent developments, what if we went the extra mile?"

"I get what you're saying, and I'll spare you the awkwardness," you say. "I agree, we should go a little farther with our relationship".

Even in the dim lighting of the moon, you notice that she's blushing, despite the fact she's also turning away from you. A smile starts forming at the corners of her mouth, then she turns back to you.

"Good, now that that's settled, I can do this without feeling weird about it," Amy suddenly says.

She wrapped her arms around your neck, pulling you in for a kiss. It's fairly innocent, neither one of you taking it any farther, just enjoying the moment while it lasted.

You're not sure how long it lasted. Ten seconds? Twenty seconds? Eventually, though, she pulled back, lingering for a little longer before she opened her eyes again, meeting yours.

"You look like such an idiot right now", she jabs, likely referring to your goofy smile.

"You can't expect to do all of that and have me not look like an idiot", you respond. "This whole evening has been a rollercoaster ride, and this was definitely not where I was expecting this night to go".

"Well, unlike a rollercoaster ride, this isn't the end of our relationship", Amy said. "Far from it".

The two of you walk back to the college campus, holding hands again. You drop her off at her dorm room again, and you make it back to your own dorm room, flopping down on the bed.

Pearson, Amy
