highway run

Cho nodded softly and got into the passenger seat. We backed out of the driveway and drove away from my house. I felt a tinge of guilt that Cho was **** out dressed like a girl much sooner than I had hoped. He nervously played with the radio jumping from station to station. Finally, I took his hand in mine. "Hey, you're gonna be okay."

"I hope you're right. I can't believe I let it get this far."

"Oh." I guess even without a buzz he still regretted our kiss.

"Not our...our kiss. I actually kinda liked that." Cho refused to look at me, instead, he stared out the window, but I could still tell he was blushing by the redness of his ears.

"Only kinda?" His ears grew redder as I teased him.

"I...A lot has happened in, like, less than 24 hours. I did...enjoy it, but...I just need time to process everything." He looked at me with his sad and confused eyes.

"I hear ya." We drove in silence for a while, no sound but the wind and the radio. Cho was right, I don't think I was gay, maybe bi? But although I thought Cho would look cute as a girl I never felt like kissing him, or any guy really...but I can't stop thinking about kissing her. And oh so much more. "I meant what I said." I swallowed hard.

"When?"

"I do...think you're...ya know, beautiful. "It was my turn to turn red as a cherry tomato. Cho shocked me with a kiss on the cheek.

"Where are we going?"

"I...didn't really have a destination in mind. Where do you want to go? We could get something to eat, go see a movie? Paintball?" Cho rolled his eyes at me since he definitely wasn't dressed for paintball. I laughed. "Something else?"
