•Scarlett's POV•

Breathe. Just take deep breaths. Maybe I was scared that he would turn into an octopus, and use his tentacles to choke me to death. Maybe I was just paranoid. Or, maybe I knew I did something I wasn’t supposed to do. Yeah, that’s it. Say something, c’mon just say something Scarlett, say something before he-

“Something tells me, you wanted to kiss me as much as I wanted to kiss you.”

Too late. I flinched slightly, almost unnoticeable, when he moved his hand over to my face, pushing some of my hair out of my face.

“You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that.” He pressed his thumb gently over the top of my cheek.

“Why did it take you so long?” I whispered, refusing to make eye contact.

“It’s hard to explain. I guess I thought you liked Harry.” I moved my face out of his touch.

“Don’t.” I said, not wanting to think of Harry at the moment.

It was because of the silence I remembered that I had left my phone on, and Stay by Rihanna was just starting to play.  It fit the moment perfectly.

All along it was a fever

A cold sweat, hot headed believer

I threw my hands in the air I said show me something

He said, if you dare come a little closer

 

Round and around and around and around we go

Oh now tell me, now tell me, now tell me now you know.

 

Not really sure how to feel about it

Something in the way you move

Makes me feel like I can't live without you

It takes me all the way

I want you to stay

 

“What do you think this song is about?” I questioned, arching my neck over to look at him.

“Honestly, I think it is about two people who are learning to love. The girl has become too numb to love and has taken on a lifestyle of destruction. Like an adrenaline junkie. A guy comes a long, dares her to actually give him a chance rather than just letting him be another fling. It petrifies her to open up her heart because she has become a master at being numb...” He turned his face, and waited for the song to continue, as if wanting to take in the words they were singing.
