Chapter Eight- Midnight Kiss and The Rifts

"Thank you." In his ear. I went to release from him but he wouldn't let me go. Instead he ended up picking me up and dancing with me. Although it was slightly awkward, it was goofy and funny, just like him. I tilted my head back and laughed loudly. Once he finally set me down we both just started laughing. Our laughing was interrupted by this sweet little old couple. Apple Creek was just filled with them.

"You two are the cutest young people I have ever seen." The women said smiling at us and then walking away with her husband. This night has been so completely random, like who puts a dance floor in the middle of a cornfield, but I was grateful they did.

It was nearing eleven o'clock and the dance floor was becoming very scarce, so that's when we decided to go back to the car.

"Hey, do you think that maybe, you'd like to walk home?" Colton asked grabbing my hand as we walked out of the cornfield.

"Sure, but why?" I asked wondering where everyone else was. They probably thought Colton and I were doing... 'things'.

"Because if we walk I get to spend about ten more minutes with you than I would if we drove back with the others." He answered. I couldn't help but smile at his reasoning. He was truly just adorable and a good guy. As we continued to walk, almost out of the cornfield I ended up tripping but Colton caught me before I made a total fool out of myself. "Here," He replied stopping us and crouching down in front of me. What. Is. He. Doing?

"What?" I asked confused. He laughed and said,

"Jump on." I frowned, shrugged, and did as he said. I started to feel insecure... Maybe I was heavy on his back

"Sorry I'm probably super heavy-"

"Emma, stop it. You're perfect." I couldn't help but blush and hide my face into the crook of his neck, I even giggled a little bit. Perfect? I was far from perfect, and it was really nice of him to say that I was, but I wasn't even close- Nor will I ever be. We were quiet for some time as he continued to carry me down the sidewalk. "You ever play truth?" Colton randomly asked.

"Nope. What is it?" I asked.

"It's like truth or dare only no dare." He explained.

"How do you win?"

"Well, say I asked you a question and you didn't want to answer. You get to ask one last question, and if I answer it, you lose."

"Okay, let's play.You first." I said, feeling extremely carefree.

"Hmmm, okay... First kiss?" He asked. I made an awkward scoffing noise before answering.

"Sixth grade, some loser behind the bleachers at a football game." I kind of laughed as I told him because he was the first person I've ever told about Spitty Simon.

"Why was he a loser?" I sighed.

"Uh, let's just say everyone called him 'Spitty Simon'." Colton laughed loudly, and wouldn't stop. "It's not that funny!" I exclaimed, trying to not laugh myself. Once he finally stopped laughing he said,

"Alright, your turn." Okay, I need to ask him a good question. A question that will give me some insight. Something juicy. Awh shit, hurry up Emma!

"What's your favorite body part?" I blurted out before I could stop myself. I wanted to just smack myself in the head, but I was too busy holding onto Colton. What kind of question is that? What the hell is wrong with me? Colton chucked a little bit.

"On you, or me?" He whispered seductively turning his head to look at me. I laughed, happy he made a joke out of my terrible question.

"Both," I replied seriously.
