She asks and I shake my head no."Actually, I should go"I say reachig for my purse. I don't want to be here anymore. Trust her to ruin a goood thing. My good thing."Wait!" She says panicked. She grabs my hand and it takes everything in me not to jump out of my seat. I look at her hand on mine and then back at her. Why does this girl think she can just touch me like that?"Sorry." She says taking her hand away. I sit back and look at her. I don't care what she has to say but I don't want her to make a scene again so I'll just sit here and let her say her piece. "I just wanted to say thank you for not ratting me out the other day." She says and I nod . I don't have anything to say to that so..."I would have gotten into a lot of trouble"She whispers to herself."I know I've been crazy and I've treated you terribly." She continues and I s
It's been two weeks since the parking lot incident.It's the weekend and I am taking myself out on a coffee date. There's nothing like a little lone time when life gets a little overwhelming. The past few months have put me through the ringer. I've gone through enough emotions in the last few months to las me a life time.I pull up to my favorite coffee spot in the city and feel a mix of joy and sadness. Memories flood my mind and cling to my senses. My dad and I used to come here a lot. He made it a point to bring me here at least once a month. I don't think I was old enough to have coffee when he started bringing me here but I loved it because he did.But I stopped coming when he passed away. For a long time I couldn't bare the thought of being here without him. As a matter of fact I stopped drinking coffee alltogther because I would start crying evrytime I smelled the aroma.I get out of the car and head inside
"I don't want to talk about her anymore. Tonight is about us. This is our date." I say shaking my head at my words. We've been talking about my ex for too long. "You're right... you're right. We have a beautiful view in front of us. It's our duty to enjoy it." She says smiling. "I didn't hear a single lie told," I say taking my phone out of my pocket. "And to that, I have a game I want us to play," I say and she raises her brows intrigued. "Well, it's not a game, more like a quiz," I say and she gently takes the phone out of my hand. "Let me see." She says looking at the screen. "What do you like about me?" She says reading one of the questions. I smile feeling a little weird. I pulled a couple's quiz for us to do tonight. I don't know what she's thinking right now. I thought it would be a great way for us to reconnect after all that's happened. We need a chance to talk about our relationship in a less stressful setting. "Are you going to answer?" She asks taking a sip of her drin
"I don't know why I did it," Ryo says looking ahead. I can tell she's conflicted about her decision to not rat Marlene out. She hasn't said much about the incident in the principal's office yesterday. "I guess I felt sorry for her, she looked so sad when I walked in." She says after a moment of silence."I get it," I say and she turns to me with her brows like really? I smile and she frowns. "It sucks that she attacked you but I know you didn't want her t get into trouble," I say and she nods."I just couldn't do it. You should have seen her, she was looking down at her hands the whole. I don't think I've ever seen her that scared." She says and the statement conjures up memories I don't want to tap into. I remember how scared she was when she had her episode and Jameson and I took her home. The look on her mother's face said it all."I've seen that look," I say and she almost gasps at my words. "She does get scared, she's just great at hiding
I pull into the McDonald's parking lot and see Oliver pull into the parking spot next to mine. He smiles at me when he sees me. I open my door and get out of the car, I lock it and walk to his. He opens the passenger door for me and I get in."You look gorgeous," He says when I close the door. "You look really good." He adds and I smile."You look gorgeous too." I and he smile."I do?" He asks shyly and I nod."You look really good. I love you in all black." I say truthfully. He really does pull off the all-black outfit."Thank you." He says taking my hand in his, he kisses it and I feel the warmth of his kiss from the inside of my hands all the way between my legs."What are we eating?" I ask trying to distract myself. I almost jumped his bones right then. We haven't been intimate in a while now. So many things have happened since our date in the garden. I wish we were in the garden right now. I wish we w
"Well, Marlene I guess you can go." The principal says and I look up at him. "I should say that behaviour like this morning will not be tolerated." He says and I get up and head out of his office.What the hell just happened? I was sure Ryo was going to rat me out. And I wouldn't have blamed her. I was wrong for attacking her. I don't know what came over me. I was so enraged that I took it out on the first person that I saw.I look down the hall hoping to see her but she's not there. I have to talk to her. She didn't have to lie for me but she did. If she didn't decide to keep quiet I would be in big trouble. My mother threatened boarding school; if I pulled one of my stunts.If today's incident got out, I would have been in a school miles away before I could say sorry.I have to get it together I can't let my emotions take over me like that.A few hours later, at the school parking lotAs I
"Sir, I have Ryo for you." The Secretary says when we get to the door. I will myself not pass out. I take a few breaths and brace myself for what's to come."Yes, come in." He says and I take a few steps into the room. I gasp on the inside when I see Marlene sitting on a chair in front of the principal's office desk."Good Afternoon Sir," I say looking at him. He smiles and he gestures for me to sit down. I take a seat opposite Marlene and she looks down at her hands."Ladies, I called in here to address the incident in the parking lot this morning." He says looking at me intently. I stare at him blankly not sure what to do here. What does he want me to say? "Ryo, do you want to tell me what happened?" He asks smiling at me. I turn to look in Marlene's direction and she's still staring at her hands. Is she going to look up and confront this situation? She's the reason we're in here. She's the one that decided to attack me for no dan
I have six eyeballs staring at me right now. I want to tell them off but I know they are just trying to watch out for me. That whole incident with Marene was super scary. I was sure she was going to attack me. She had the look of murder in her eyes when she pulled me by the backpack.Well, I guess this is my first fight. I thought when our eyes met. I thought she was going to swing on me and break my nose. I prepared myself mentally in a few seconds. I even forgot that we there were a bunch of people staring at us."You guys are staring," I say looking at each of them. "You can stop now," I add and Oliver smiles at me."We're just wondering how you're doing," Jameson says looking at Kelly for confirmation."I'm doing fine" I say and he nods slowly. "Really, I'm good, you can stop worrying," I say and Kelly smiles."I spoke to her, she's not going to bother you ever again," Oliver says his face hard. What di
I follow Marlene into the school. I don't know what got into her just now but this madness needs to end. I won't let her attack Ryo like this. "Marlene," I say when she walks into a random class. She looks back at me and then she frowns. "What the hell was that?" I ask closing the door. "Leave me alone Oliver." She says walking to a wall. She presses her head on it. I watch her breathe hard for a few seconds and she says nothing. "I won't let this go. I've let your behaviour slide for too long." says and she turns around. "Oliver I really don't care about what you have to say right now," She says and she dares to be angry at me."Look, you never going to put your hands on Ryo ever again," I say ignoring her anger, she's not going to bully or cry her way out of this one. I want to make sure she knows there will be consequences if she ever tries to pull anything like that again. "I swear you're going to regret it if you pull this shit again," I say my voice calm but dangerous. She f
