Ally and I had just left our writing class and once again, had no way of getting home except from the bus. Just as we start heading in the direction of the bus stop, I large car pulls up beside us. We look over and none other than Ryan Mars pokes his head out.
"Ally, Riley! Yous need a ride?" Ally and I nod.
I begin to open the front door but Ally beats me to it and hops in. I roll my eyes and get in the back.
I watch as she shamelessly flirts with him until we reach her house. When we reach her street, she turns to me and gives me a look as if I'm suppose to postpone her departure but I just shrug my shoulders.
She huffs in annoyance but leaves anyway. I follow her out and give her a hug goodbye.
I hop in the front of the car and shut the door.
"Thanks for giving us a ride home." I say.
Ryan just nods his head and says "No problem, I was heading this way anyway.'
The car was engulfed in silence until a song I liked came on the radio and I turned up the volume.
"I love this song," I smile happily.
He looks over in my direction and smiles, "Me too."
I hum along to the intro of the song and then when the first verse starts, Ryan starts singing and oh my god he was amazing! He sounds like Shawn Mendes.
I just looked at him in awe.
When the song was done he just glanced over at me nonchalantly and said, "Hey, I need to make a quick pit stop, do you mind?"
I shake me head with a smile, "Not at all."
However it was nearing 11pm and I was starting to think about my mum.
Before my thoughts could get far, the car stopped and I looked out the window.
Due to the darkness I couldn't see much apart from grass.
Ryan gets out and I copy, he leads us to the centre of the field and puts a blanket on the grass. His hand takes mine and pulls me down so we're both lying on our backs looking up at the sky.
My hand remains in his, sending shivers throughout my body. I turn to look at him only to realise he was looking at me.
"It's beautiful," I whisper, looking back up at the clear sky.
"Yes it is," he agrees but he continues looking at me and not at the sky.
I feel heat travel up my neck and rest in my cheeks turning me a rosy pink. I sit up attempting to hide my embarrassment.
I stand up and look around, it seems like there's nothing for miles.
The full moon shines on me and I feel blessed to have been able to see this. The stars twinkling almost magically above me and the Wolf's Moonlight resting on my skin.
I look at Ryan to see he's standing up and looking at me with his head tilted to the right and a small smirk on his face.
"What?" I ask self-consciously.
"What are you doing?"
"Just appreciating the view."
"So am I." He comes closer to me, smiling cutely.
I look up and marvel at all the stars. When I look at Ryan again he's inches from my face.
I gasp lightly as his breath fans my lips.
"Thank you for bringing me here," I manage to choke out.
"You're welcome Riley."
The way he says my name causes my heart to jump.
I stare into his dark brown eyes which are shining with the moon.
He takes my hands and my skin tingles.
He keeps eye contact as he moves closer and closer.
Inch by inch.
Until his soft lips brush mine.
He pulls back and then repeats the action but with my force.
His hands move to hold my waist.
His grip only forces more passion into the kiss.
My hands rest on his chest.
Our bodies press together.
My arms wrap around his neck and I pull gently on his hair.
His lips move against mine.
Slowly.
Passionately.
So
So
Soft.
I pull away first. My eyes stay closed and I rest my head against his chest as I'm no where near tall enough to reach his shoulder.
"I'm glad you dropped Ally off first," I mumble into his shirt.
I pull back and we stare at each other for a while.
"You're so beautiful," he whispers, kissing my cheek lightly.
"I really like you Ryan."
I stare at the grass suddenly finding it really interesting as I wait for his response.
I feel his fingers brush my cheek before lifting my head up so I have to look at him.
"I really like you too Riley,"
I smile and he does too.
We lie back on the blanket and watch the stars, this time wrapped in each other's arms.
