Butterflies in my stomach and legs wobbly like jelly as we reach an isolated place which is surprisingly beautiful. I think we're in some artsy environment because there are paintings all over the walls and blank canvases all around and it smells like paint so yeah.
DID I REALLY JUST FOLLOW SOMEONE I DON'T KNOW TO AN ISOLATED PLACE FILLED WITH PAINT?
He leads me to the stage and I immediately sit on it, my legs dangling on the edge, I put all of my torso weight on my hands and lean back admiring the room. I see Ian looking at me from the corner of my eye, grinning.
"What?" I ask him matching his smile.
"Nothing, I was just admiring your beauty Ri," he says with a wide smile...he shortened my already short name to 'Ri'! I'm already thinking he is my boyfriend' and I can't help the blush that rises to my cheeks after what he just said...I'm beautiful!
"Cheesy line, but thanks," I try to sound not affected. His laugh is so precious he has me joining in in a few seconds.
"But honestly, I think you are beautiful and I'd like to know you better, will you let me?" It comes out as an almost plea but friendly too.
"Okay, so what would you like to know?" I ask with a smile that literally meets my eyes...he wants to know me, he wants to know me and that song repeats in my head like a prayer.
"So, do you have a boyfriend?"
"No. Why that line of questioning?" I raised my eyebrow at him pouting my lips.
"Well I did say I want to know you better, and the method I chose is by being your boyfriend. So will you be my girlfriend?" WHAT?
"You must be joking," I break out into a laugh so that it hides the blush that erupted from me.
"Nope, I'm quite serious."
"I don't even know you that well Ian."
"And you will once we start dating."
"As much as I'd love to jump at the opportunity, you would have to try harder than that."
"As in... take you out for dinner? We can go now if you like, McDonald's open 24Hrs."
"Wow! Aren't you the hopeful one" I burst out laughing?
"Is that a yes?"
"No, but I do like McDonald's."
"But you want to jump at the opportunity, so why waste time?"
"Well...because...I don't know you," I shrugged my shoulders, playing with my fingers, suddenly feeling self-conscious and cursing the day I met Andii.
"Okay, give me a week to show you you can be my girlfriend."
"How?" I ask and that's when he comes in between my legs and he puts his hands on my waist pressing his body on mine and I can feel all his muscles and I mean all his muscles...
"Like this..." he leans in, bringing his lips to mine and kissing in me in a slow, hot, passionate kiss that has missiles self-destructing in me and I suddenly feel really hot and pleasure swims all over through my body.
I wrap my arms around his neck pulling him closer to me, I feel like we can still get closer between us. I moan in his mouth as he presses me onto his groin. He picks me up and grabs my ass whilst grinding on me, a growl erupts from his throat and it turns me on even more if there is passing the stage I'm already in. I try to press myself harder onto his erection whilst he's doing the same and it feels so good I don't want him to stop.
I think I might be drunk.
He pulls away and I feel disappointed in the sudden change but then I see lust all over his eyes, he wants this too right? Why did he pull away?
"I'll see you tomorrow, Goodnight Ri," with that said he just turned and left me in the room alone leaving me stunned and really turned on. But wait...did he just leave me alone here? I can't even be angry because he is so hot!
I make my way to the dorm room and the scene I walk into is something I never expected in a thousand years. "Woah, guys!" I turn around so quickly you'd swear I'm Flash, Zoé is having a heavy make-out session with some girl we met today, I think her name is Riley but I really don't care.
Zoé just laughs and says she's sorry, but she sure doesn't mean it. "Can you just put a sign on the door next time please!" I join in laughing.
"I didn't think you'd be back. I saw you leaving with Ian," she wiggles her eyebrows and I swear I'm literally red right now. BUT, thank God for all of this melanin!
"Well I'm back, I'll just sit outside while you guys finish off," I say.
"That's if we finish," Zoé says and laughs at my shocked expression..."I'm just playing, stay, she's about to leave anyway."
For some reason, this Riley chick is really quiet, it's crazy and creepy. Maybe that's how people feel about me. They get up from the bed and Zoé escorts her to the door... 'What a lady Zoé is really' I thought to myself. A quick kiss bids goodbye and a very mad face is directed to me by Riley that I just stare at.
"So...what happened between you and Ian?"
I immediately heat up. "Uhm nothing much you know. Just talked a bit."
"Yeah right. Went to talk in a private room away from everyone else huh?"
"What!? It was very loud in that room."
" You totally like him dontcha?" She winks at me and my blush deepens, my cheeks really hurt right now.
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Aargh shut up Zoé "
"Only after you admit it!"
I get under my blankets and cover my head "Goodnight Zo!" But that doesn't work...the crazy bitch jumps on my bed and lays on top of me
"C'mon Rina! You could totally tell me. Ian is a hot catch and you both single and y'all could be like the new Niklaus and Caroline."
"Zo, you know very well not to bring my love for Klaus into this, it's not fair. Besides, they were immortal, nothing like me and Ian."
"You know what I mean man!" She laughs out really loud.
"Okay, whatever Idolikehimverymuchandheaskedmetobehisgirlfriend," I mumble.
She squeals and starts jumping up and down on me...which hurts by the way! I really hoped she didn't hear me. "Oh my gosh! You said yes right?"
"Uhm. Not exactly " I peek out of the blanket to look at her.
The reaction is something I do not want to see in my life ever again!
School begins today after such a heavy weekend. From Zo's endless disappointed stares and getting used to the campus, I'm pretty hyped for class. I get in and choose a seat somewhere in the middle but good enough to hear what the lecturer will be saying. Some guy sits next to me and he's really good looking like amazing! He's got nice, actually perfect sharp cheekbones, beautiful eyebrows-bushy like. His lips are just wonderful and I wonder how great it would be to kiss those. Wait why I'm I thinking like that...I'm attracted to Ian, YES I AM. His hair is properly styled and looks very good...a guy who takes care of his hair is to be appreciated. He wears a grey shirt that says 'I don't like being looked at.' And I feel as if he's telling me because he shifted his body in order for me to read that. Jerk! "Hi, I'm Rina," I told him with the most pleasant smile I could muster, I'm sure he can tell it's forced...
Three months later. So much time has passed and life has been a bubble of bliss. Ian and I are still going strong but lately, I feel as if he is pulling away. When I asked him about it he said I was looking for a fight. "Baby, is there anything wrong with us?" "What do you mean?" "Tell me if I'm wrong, but lately it feels as if we're not connected like we used to, are you comfortable being with me?" "Where's all this coming from Rina!?" he raised his voice and YEAH he called me Rina! That hurt so bad...what happened to 'sweetcakes' "Woah! Why are you shouting? It was just an innocent question. No need to get all riled up about it." I raised my voice as well. He sighed and enveloped me in a hug. "You're being insecure because I'm about to leave, but sweetcakes there's no need
My alarm rings at six o'clock to wake me up from the deep slumber I was in. It is time to face the world again I guess. I get out of my bed and go into my wardrobe to get my towel and toiletries and leave the room for the bathroom. I go over to the bathtub and open up water to fill it and brush my teeth by the bathroom sink. When the water has been filled, the room is a little bit steamy, I get in and soak my body. It feels so good. I don't know why my muscles hurt so much but this right here is heaven. After I'm done bathing I wrap my body with the fluffy towel Zoé bought me as a 'house warming present'. I get out of the bathroom and bump into Khalil. He is in nothing but his boxers only and looks really cute after he just woke up but is very grumpy. "Watch where you going, Rina!" "Good Morning to you too Khalil," I say with a smile and leave him, I am not going to let him ruin my day by his negativit
The party is going great and the atmosphere is fun, but what has me worried is the tension I'm sensing between Ian and Zoé. What the hell is going on here that I don't know. Thuso also seems to be looking at him with pure disgust but when she looks at me, it's a look of sympathy. I get up from Ian's lap to go grab some water, I feel no need to drink alcohol because I feel shit is about to blow up and I need to be sober for it. "Where are you going, baby?" Ian asked me while holding my wrist. "Why does it matter to you!?" Zoé asked angrily, woah! "I wasn't talking to you Zoé, mind your business!" Ian spat out and Zoé got up to stand in front of Ian. "You know what Ian, you're full of shit! I can't believe you outta all people would do that, how could you be so cruel and selfish. Screw you!" "Okay...what is going on..." but none of them answer me "Zoé? Ian? Why y'all f
"We were just giving Riley what she asked for," K answers with a smirk. "Well you gave me more and I'm glad. That was truly heavy." "Whatever man. I'm outta this game!" Ian answers and gets up but not before looking at me as if to say something but he doesn't. Everyone leaves, Khalil and I stay behind. "So, do you think it worked?" He asks, breaking the silence. "What?" I am confused because I'm still recovering from what just happened. And as if he knows his smirk just grows bigger "I'm that good huh?" it wasn't a question. More of a declaration that I laughed and punched his arm."Shut up!" He gets up, then helps me up. We part ways once we get into the kitchen. I sit on top of the marble counter lost in my thoughts which is when I smell some alcohol fanning my face. I look at the source and see Ian pissed off. Why is he? "So tell me how long has i
So it's been two weeks since Ian left for New York and it's been really hard walking around as if I'm okay when I'm not. Well, Zoé and Thuso have been there for me but it's not enough and Khalil has been behaving although he has his days of just wanting to piss me off. Nothing new there though. Well, the semester is about to end which means it's time for me to go home, super excited about being around family, happy energies will help me heal right? Well, I do hope so because a girl is hurt! Got heartbroken the same way by two different guys. Somebody should really help me choose boyfriends because I suck at it! We are all in my apartment and by all I mean Zoé and Thuso and we are just chilling. Talking about what we'll be doing during the holidays, oh and I probably forgot to mention Zoé and Thuso are living together now...and they're the most beautiful couple I've ever seen. I pray for eternal love in their relationshi
Sunday morning and I feel exhausted from the restless night I had, I couldn't sleep. I kept on thinking about what I saw and what he said, argh how could he affect me so much? It's so annoying! I'm lying here awake whilst he snores up the whole apartment. He is so loud! "K! Keep it down man!" I shouted from my room and his response was only to snore much louder. I got up from my bed and banged on his door which ended up opening. He was sprawled out on his bed like a starfish only in his boxers. He looked so yummy just laying there and for a moment I felt like...and his snores disrupted my train of thoughts reminding me that I'm annoyed. I stomp over to his bed and pick up a pillow that was on the floor and hit him with it. He wakes up in shock and looks at me weirdly. "What the hell Rin..." He stops his sentence as he looks at me hungrily. Why would he..? Ohhh shit! I'm only in my shirt and panties. Okay Rina you can do
When we got to the mall we decided to eat first. All we seemed to do was eat but yeah we decided to eat seafood and to say it was weird to eat raw fish is an understatement.Y'all have to understand, I'm a black person and we don't normally do raw meat unless you grew up in an elite group.It wasn't so bad to eat that kind of food, it's definitely not something you fall in love with at first taste or sight. But it seemed as if Khalil enjoyed watching my face scrunch up in disgust whenever I ate. He kept on laughing and even took a video of me. He even imitated me, jackass!After eating we went to the cinema where we spent another thirty minutes fighting about which movie to watch. He wanted to watch some romantic movie but I wasn't for it. I wanted to watch Bad Boys For Life, I mean how many years have we been waiting for that one!?As we finally came to an agreement, the person at the till seemed amused w
