Sunlight Chapter Eight: Ecstatic

Jenna

That night, we studied History. I felt very, very thankful because I actually understood a lot more topics, and I had fun while learning. Good thing Pizzarific didn't have much customers that night. It was fairly quiet. 

Ray was a great tutor. While we studied, he became really serious. And that was good, since I got to concentrate even more and we got to finish more lessons because of that.

We decided to wrap up at 8:30pm.

He looked at his watch. "Ohh, it's already 8:00pm. That was fast."

"Yeah, it feels like I just woke up, then suddenly I find out that another day has gone by." I said, yawning.

"You got that right. Sleepy, already? Let's go now. I'll give you a ride home." he said.

"Nah, it's fine. I can go by myself." 

"No, I insist." he said. He can be very annoying at times, but I can't help but smile.

"Fine." 

We went out of Pizzarific then he led me to a yellow Ducati Diavel. Wow, he drives a motorcycle. Cool.

"Have you ever rode a motorcycle?" He asked, curious.

"I've always wanted to, but no." I replied.

"Well now you're about to ride one. Which do you prefer, an exciting fast drive or a relaxing slow one?" 

"Hmm whichever. I don't care, I just want to get home safely." I joked.

"Haha, okay wear this." He said, handing me a silver, sparkly helmet.

"Wow, this helmet's really awesome." I commented.

"Good thing you like it, I got that for you."

"Really? You shouldn't have bothered. Any helmet would've been fine." I said, blushing.

"You deserve the best, you know." he said, looking deeply into my eyes.

"More expensive doesn't always mean better. But that's just my own opinion."

"I'll keep that in mind." he smiled then.

"WHOO! This is so fun!" Jenna screamed. She's really enjoying this. Good thing I thought about giving her a ride on my new motorcycle which I too, love.

"I'm glad you're having fun." I couldn't help but say it.

"Of course I am. I've been wanting to ride one for so long already. Oh, turn right."

I followed her instruction, then. I had to pretend I didn't know the way to her home. 

Then she said, "Okay that's my house right, there. The one with the red roof."

I stopped in front of her house. It was my first time to see it up-close. I've always been able to only see the red roof.

"Thank you so much for tutoring me, I really learned a lot. Thanks for treating me dinner and for the ride home as well. You're such a great friend, you know. If you need anyone to talk to, or help you, remember that I'm here, kay?" she said, smiling.

Oh yes, I'm the kind friend. I can't help but wonder if she'll ever feel the same way about me. I was so sure I'm in love with her. She was just so special.
