I'm in love

"Hey, Chris, let's go eat!", so off we went to the kitchen for a feast.
I'm getting to know Jennifer more and more. I feel like I want her to be a part of my soul. My heart races every time she tells me her story. I want to take care of her, protect her, heal her pain. It's like I'm her rebound guy, or maybe just a stand-in. A first aid kit, a band-aid boyfriend...
She finished eating before I did and waited for me, sipping water and keeping me company at the table.
"Have you ever been with a girl before?"
"Ugghkk..." I almost spit out my food and choke. She just smirks, laughing.
"Ha ha... Finish your food first, then let's head outside again."
When I finally finished, she started clearing the plates from the table. I helped too, so she wouldn't have to do everything. We almost bumped into each other as I headed to the sink with the dishes. I didn't realize our bodies slightly collided as I rushed to put the plates down.
"Oh, sorry!"
She playfully smacked my shoulder and grinned, "You've made it to first base!"
"Hey, I didn't mean to." I was about to wash the dishes to escape the scene, but she stopped me. She said the water pressure was weak and we should do it tomorrow. So, we went outside to their backyard. She sat down just like she did earlier. But now, I noticed a peek of her yellow panties that shaped her private resort. I called her out on it!
"Fer, I can see your kitty."
"Ah!! You perv! You saw it, didn't you?" She quickly tugged at her shorts to hide her panties. I couldn't help but watch her do it, grinning mischievously, which she noticed.
"No! Just your panties!"
"You're getting quite a lot from me, huh!"
"Hey, I didn't mean to. Your shorts are so short... and you’re not even wearing a bra. And then you blame me. I'm trying to look away, really." I kept rambling.
"You're such a tease! Even if you saw me, it's okay, your reaction makes me laugh. Ha ha!!"
"You're too much! I'm still a guy, you know! I get affected by this stuff!"
"Seriously, Chris... Have you ever had any experience? No shyness here. Let's play hot seat. Question and answer. No shyness, only truth."
I didn’t get to interrupt. I just answered her earlier question directly.
"Yes, when I was 9 years old. I was in 4th grade then in Manila." I continued to tell my story and eventually finished.
"So, you've seen a girl's... you know..."
"Yes, and that was my first time touching a girl."
"Oh, shocks! So, you were a hustler already!"
"No way! I didn't even know what I was doing back then. I was too young. I can't really say I had 's****l experience'."
"Chris, do you like me?" Her question threw me off. It was like my soul suddenly wandered off. I just stared into her eyes. Her eyes were speaking, waiting, and hoping the answer would be, "Yes, I like you."
"Yes... I like you. You're beautiful and easy to be with. Now that I know you so well from your stories, I want to make you happy, but I don't know where to start."
