Dangerous Love

Chapter 18 (Part 1)

 

 



"This is ridiculous." I smiled, rolling my eyes. I picked up my hot coffee and took a sip, savoring the taste. We were in a small coffee house, soaking wet. As soon as Christopher and I sped off on his motorcycle it started raining, much to my dismay. Motorcycles were dangerous enough without adding the danger of a wet pavement. Christopher laughed, shaking his head. "Of course its not."

Christopher wanted me to write down everything that I have never done so we could finally do them together. "Why do you want to do this again?.." I asked.

"Because its fun. You're a bit uptight, Rose."

I raised an eyebrow. "Uptight? Seriously?"

He smirked, his eyes twinkling. "You are. You cant be so afraid of living life."

"I am not afraid of living life. I just dont want to die."

"Exactly."

I glared at him, annoyed. "Fine." I grabbed the black pen and started scribbling everything I've ever wanted to do.

Things I've always wanted to do:

1. Go scooba diving

2. Jump in a taxi and yell, "Follow that car!"

3. Kiss someone in the rain

4. Ride a horse

I slid the paper towards him once I was done and heard him chuckle. "Jump in a taxi yelling 'follow that car.' Really?"

I shrugged. "Ever since I was ten."

He shook his head, smirking. "Are you done with your coffee?"

I grabbed the empty cup of coffee. "Yeah, why?"

He grabbed my hand and pulled me out the door, making me drop the empty cup of coffee.

"What are you doing?" I cried out. He put his hand towards his lips and whistled, making a taxi stop. Christopher opened the door and jumped in with me. "Will you do me the honors?" He smiled at me. I couldnt help but laugh. "Follow that car!"

The taxi driver look annoyed. "I dont have time for your childish games, kids."

Christopher flashed him a hundred dollars and the taxi driver's eyes almost popped out of his head.

"Which one?" He asked, having a 'change of heart'.

I laughed. "That one!" I said, pointing to a random black car.

The chubby taxi driver hit the gas pump, making my back hit the comfortable back seat with a thump. "Oh my god, the driver of that black car must be so freaked out." I said in between giggles.

I looked over to Christopher and saw he was already looking at me with a weird look in his eyes.

"What?" I asked, embarrased. Did I do something too weird?

"Nothing." He said after a few seconds.

The taxi driver suddenly stopped and said, "She stopped."

We both looked at what he was talking about and saw that the driver of the black car stopped and got out of the car looking pissed. "Shit," I muttered. "Go, go go!"

Christopher laughed at the panicked look on my face and the taxi driver sped away.

A few minutes later I told the taxi driver to drop us off and we got out of the taxi, laughing. It's started raining harder making me squeal as the cold rain hit my warm shoulders.

"That was fun." I smiled, ignoring the rain.

Christopher gently grabbed my chin and kissed me tenderly. "There. We already did two things out of your list."

I smiled, blushing. "You're--"

My sentence was interrupted by a loud car speeding past us, splashing us with cold, dirty water off of the street. We both gasped at the cold, looking at each other. If it were any other time, I'm sure I wouldve been angry but all i could do was laugh.

"We have the worst luck."
