RYAN. In the car, Claire had stretched foward a familiar small bag which I guessed contained the black T-shirt she wore on the rainy day. "Don't worry about it. You can keep it" I said casually. "I made sure it's dry cleaned" she mentioned. "Good for you" I replied. She rolled her eyes. "Rich kids like you don't value things like this anyways""Last I checked I'm not a kid. I should be the one calling you a kid instead"I have to keep my tongue in check, this is not the time to piss her off,but then it's still hard not to give replies to her sharp words. "What do you mean 'rich kids like me' anyways?" I asked slowly. "Never mind"I frowned at her curt response. I kept my eyes on the windshield without uttering a word. The car was as silent as a graveyard. Deep down I was nervous on how to start the conversation. This is Claire we're talking about here,not an ordinary girl I want for satisfaction of my sexual desires or something. This is the fierce Claire that could cut off my
CLAIRE.When Ryan had asked me to be his date like I don't have a choice than to accept him, I got really enraged. I mean come on,he's the one who needs my help here,not the other way round. I'd calmed down a bit when he stopped me from leaving. I've not even completely taken in his request to make me his date when he brought up his need to make me his girlfriend. I was shocked. I wish he would tell me it was a joke,but if there's one thing I'm sure I know about Ryan,it's the fact that he doesn't joke around, especially not with sensitive things like this. He mentioned the benefits that came with becoming his girlfriend which includes being responsible for my Uncle's meds fee whenever his sickness comes up again, and then I agreed. We talked about the rules and regulations. "Are we gonna have sex?" I asked bluntly. "We don't need to have sex if you don't want to, but touching, kissing,PDA are all involved" He answered with his usual casual tone,then he added with a more serious
RYAN. I rapped at the door afront me like a gentleman,but deep down I was getting impatient at the lack of response. I heard voices within and muffled sounds of footsteps. She better get this door open now. As if my thoughts were heard,the door opened. I was expecting a surprised looking Claire,but I got nothing like that. Instead,I saw an attractive teenage boy with a pleasant smile. He gave me a once over and a look of disapprobation crossed his face. He was definitely expecting someone else,so was I. "I need to see Claire" I said firmly. He furrowed his brows "Why?"I looked fixedly at him."You know what? Never mind" He said and turned his head backwards. "Claire, someone's here, said he needs to see you!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. I almost rolled my eyes. Is that necessary?He turned his head towards me, staring at me in a studying manner while I pocketed my hands to wait for Claire. His eyes dropped to the action and then went up to meet my eyes. He narrowed his e
CLAIRE.The date was taking place in a very beautiful and expensive restaurant. I love the quiet environment,the decorations,the services of the waiters and waitresses,the menu,I love everything about this place,it's ten times better than where I work or worked now since I already got fired.Yeah, my boss ended up firing me when I took an excuse off work today. That woman is crazy,but Ryan is crazier. I wonder why he prefers to eat at other restaurants less expensive than this one. He's been grumbling about how this place doesn't have the homey aura he wanted. I wonder what exactly isn't homey about this place?The restaurant I worked in is also an expensive restaurant,at least to middle class people like me, not to someone like Ryan,but this restaurant is far more expensive.The food served is also delicious that I wished I had more. Everything here is perfect. "I like you,Claire right?" Ryan's sister said. A naughty red haired with sharp remarks just like her brother,but her rem
RYAN. "Fuck,fuck,fuck" I cursed under my breath as I watched Claire walk away angrily. "Claire...." I called quietly, but she was already out of earshot but not out of the restaurant yet. I ran my fingers through my hair, regretting the words I said to her. The only solution to my problems is walking away right now. I fucked this up. I always fuck things up and I've done it again. "Well?..." I heard Cassie's high pitched voice."Well what?!" I snapped at her "Hey easy...." Roy's voice was soft and calming "A normal guy would go after her" Cassie chuckled "Did you forget Ryan is an abnormal guy?"Is that how even my close family members view me? My expression showed nonchalance to her hurtful words,but I knew within me that those words affected me. "I'm not abnormal" I blurted out, strongly disagreeing with her.I was conscious of the gawks I got as the words came out. "Geez, people,stop gaping at me" I rolled my eyes to feign indifference "I'm really normal. Why is that so ha
CLAIRE.I was dumbfounded at Ryan's action. His hands roaming my body, his voice going seductively whispery in my ear and then as if that wasn't enough, perceiving the heavenly scent of his cologne were all too much for me to handle at once. I felt an unexplainable spark from his touches."Will you go to the party?" I heard him asking,his hands roaming my back soothingly.Why are bad people experts at good things. I swallowed. "Is that uhm...is....is that uhh..." I stammered, getting affected by his touch as I can't remember the last time I got touched that way.Help me please, what was I about to say again?"Act affectionate for once" He ordered. "What...what the hell do you want me to do?" I almost wanted snap at him but his hands on my body was really affecting my mode of speech and would not allow me to."I don't know okay? Just do something!"That rough whisper again.I pouted my lips,unsure of what to do at the moment. I looked at him and placed both of my hands on his broad
RYAN. I studied Claire's reaction as she scanned Wally's environment and I could see she was impressed. Her eyes had shone brightly like she was in a wonderland. She smiled adorably at me. "I love this place. It's so beautiful"It's been a while she gave me a smile as nice as that, I honestly miss that. Wally's party is just like old times, the settings is exactly like the high school one. The guy doesn't wanna grow up. "Wow, I love this party already" Claire commented beside me. I glanced at her face, she was grinning from ear to ear. Her pretty face was glowing and her white pearly teeth added to her beauty. I looked around me, I caught some guys staring lustfully at her while she's oblivious to their stares. I wrapped my hands around her bare shoulder possessively, surprising Claire and myself too. My hands got the unfamiliar light tingles I feel from making physical contact with her. It happened the last time I touched her too. Claire gave me a sharp questioning look, stif
CLAIRE. I didn't notice when I got encircled by some girls in the party,until one of them moved closer to me and started to mock me. What did I ever do to any of them?I recognized most of them as the girls that yelled Ryan's name, desperately wanting his attention. They've been calling me all sort of names,and I made sure I threw back a snarky reply,even though deep down, I was hurt by their mockery of me. "Look at her..." One of them waved her left hand around me scornfully "She doesn't even look sexy"Her other friends laughed mockingly, attracting attention from few party attenders.I rolled my eyes. These girls should grow up. Are they gonna fight me because they saw me with Ryan? He probably slept with all of them. "Look here dumbass,he's only gonna sleep with you and dump you like trash" Another bikini girl added. I guess that's what he did to them. "You see,this care he's showing now is not gonna last" Another one told me. I rolled my eyes. "Okay? So?" They were shock
