Do you ever get that feeling that you've done something bad, but it felt so right? Yeah, that's where I was at this point. I know Travis has a girlfriend and this is wrong. I mean they've been together for a long time, two years almost. I couldn't be the one to come in and ruin it all. I'm acting like the type of girl I hate. I knew what it was like to be cheated on. I knew that pain and I swore that would never be me. And now look what I just did! It's not like I had guys all over me all the time. Yeah it would be nice to get some attention now and then, but not from a guy dating someone.
My phone went off pretty much giving me a heart attack. My hand flew to my chest as I gasped just in case my heart jumped out. I took a deep breath before getting up and grabbing my phone off of my desk. My stomach does a little flip when I read the name 'Travis'.
'Hey did you make it home okay?(:'
-Travis
I can't help but give a small smile and shake my head as I reply.
'Ha um Trav you dropped me off like five feet away from my door.'
-Jordan
'I know but I just want to make sure.(:'
-Travis
'Yes Travis I made it home okay.(:'
-Jordan
We talked throughout the whole night talking about nothing in particular. It was pretty much a replay of the first night we had started talking again. I was sending another message to Travis when I heard something hit my window. I figured it was nothing, and if it was something I was screwed, mom was passed out in her room and her and I were the only ones in the house. I hit send as I heard the noise again. I hated looking out my window at night, I don't know why I just did.
I slowly walked over to my window and pulled the curtains back to see an empty street. I figured it was just a tree branch from the huge tree on the side of my room hitting my window. As soon as I re-closed the curtains I heard the noise again. My phone buzzed on my bed I walked over and picked it up. Who was calling me this late? I answered the phone without looking at the caller I.D.
"Hello?"
"Hey Jordan, What's up?"
"Travis? Why are you calling me?"
"Look out your window."
"Ha uhm I'd rather not. That's like the typical horror movie Travis. Girl gets phone call, girl looks out window late at night, scary guy is at window, and BOOM she's dead!"
Travis chuckled," Ha that's not going to happen trust me. Now open your window it's getting cold."
"Wait- What?"
I walked over to my window pull open the curtains and open the window to see Travis sitting on a branch on the tree. I hung up the phone and looked at him like he's insane. He gave me a smug look as he moved on the branches like it was no problem trying to balance as he moved closer to my window.
As he swung one leg over the window pane and into my room I stepped in front of him so he couldn't come all the way in my room. "What the hell man?" I stared at him like he was insane.
He pushed me aside as he softly laughed and hopped all the way in my room. "What? Did you have any other plans?"
I stare at him standing in my room. "Travis if my mom finds out you're here she'll kill me! And you!"
"Well then stop yelling and she won't know I'm here."
He shot me a half-smile, which by the way looked amazingly sexy on him, as he walked over and flopped onto my bed. I stood still by the window and looked at him in astonishment. I wanted to know why he was in my room. What he wanted and when he was going to leave but I couldn't say anything.
Something about this guy made me speechless. I know it's so cliché but he takes my breath away. It's everything about him. His tall figure, his tan skin, his muscles, his dark brown hair, his brown eyes that just held your stare when you looked into them. And his breath taking smile. It was a no-brainer that he was hot, but falling for him, that's a problem. He's a huge player and everyone knows it. Even his girlfriend, to be honest I don't know why she's even with him. And I'm not just saying that because I don't like her. I really don't know why anyone would be in a relationship with Travis. Yeah he's hot and has an amazing personality, but at the end of the day he's just another player.
I must have stood there staring at Travis for ten minutes before he said something to half way break me out of my deep thought process.
"W-What?" I asked trying to figure out what he had said.
"I said are you just going to stand there the whole time and stare at me or what?"
"I-I um. N-No."
I couldn't say anything without stuttering. Travis let out a low laugh at my stuttering as my cheeks turned red. I'm glad that he finds this funny because I find this as a cruel punishment.
"Can you sit down Alvarez? Damn you need to relax a little."
He chuckled as he propped himself up on one elbow while laying down on my bed still. I remember when we used to call each other by our last names. He used to hate it when I called him by his last name. Vasquez. I took a deep breath as I gave up trying to give Travis the hint to leave and sighed as I laid on my bed as well. I closed my eyes and we sat there in silence.
In our moment of silence I heard footsteps coming towards my room. I sat up and looked at Travis who still looked calm as ever. It was my mom, she knew I was awake because my light was on. Great. I turned to look at the door as I heard the footsteps stop. I glared at Travis then shot my eyes towards my closet. Thankfully he got the hint as he sighed quietly and walked towards my closet.
"Hey honey? Are you okay? I thought I heard someone talking?"
She slowly opened my door, just as Travis closed the closet door after he got in, and poked her head in.
"Uh, Yeah mom that was me. I was just singing. Sorry to wake you up."
She looked around my room nodded her head sleepily and gave my a tired smile as she shut my door. I waited to hear her door close before I went over to the closet to let Travis out. He was wedged between a couple of shirts and some sweatshirts.
"You know you need a new wardrobe." He chuckled holding out one of my old t-shirts.
"Hey! I like that shirt, and plus its not like I wear it to school."
He stepped out of my closet as I sat back down at the foot of my bed. He sat behind me putting an arm around my waist. I turned around to look at him. I was confident that I was going to tell him to knock it off, I had it all planned out in my head.
Plan backfire!
I turned into him as I looked up to tell him something. Damn those beautiful eyes. As soon as I turned into him and looked into his eyes I lost everything that I had planned in my head. Travis pulled me closer to him by my waist as I broke our stare and put my hand on his chest. I meant to do it as a sign for him to back off. But he thought it meant other things. I was looking down at my hand on his chest trying to avoid ALL eye contact.
Once again PLAN BACKFIRE!
He tilted my head up towards his, so I was left with no choice but to look him in the eyes. My heart was racing as he got closer to me. Why was this happening to me. I'd already told myself that I wasn't going to fall for him. Not again. He had a girlfriend. I got it. Why couldn't he get it!? Jeez why was he doing this to me!? I felt Travis move his head down so his lips were down near my neck. I felt him grin against my skin as he placed a soft kiss on my neck.
It was official. I was going to have a heart attack! My heart rate increased and it felt like I was gasping for air. I tried to keep quiet so Travis wouldn't know that I was completely freaking out. He pulled away and slowly moved his head up so our foreheads were touching. I closed my eyes and bit my lip we sat there. I heard Travis sigh as he shook his head while he placed his hand on the back of my head holding our heads together. I opened my eyes too see him with his eyes closed. He looked...Worried.
What? Travis, worried? Impossible. No, not impossible. And it's happening right in front of my eyes.
I pulled away as his hand just fell in his lap and waited for him to open his eyes. He gave another sigh as he shook his head. I couldn't take it anymore, I knew something was bothering him and I had to get to the bottom of it.
I slowly spoke as I put my hand on his. "Hey Travis. What's going on you look...stressed?"
Once again all I got was a head shake and a sigh.
"Nobody sighs that much unless something is wrong."
He looked up at me. His eyes filled with confusion, hurt, and emptiness. I honestly never thought that he could have that look, but when he did it broke my heart. We sat in silence for a while as he just stared at me. Almost as if he were searching for something to say. I'd thought it would be best to give him time to think of what he wanted to say, but when he didn't I had to step in.
I wasn't the type of girl to keep very many things to herself, and I knew that. In some cases it was bad, but at times it would good. I was hoping that it would be good at this time. I really didn't want to open my mouth and just start talking out of my ass. So before I said anything I processed EVERYTHING I was about to say. When I couldn't put anything together I decided to just talk and see where it went.
"Look Travis, you can talk to me about anything. That's what friends are for." I gave him a weak smile and waited for his reply.
He shook his head and mumbled the word, "Friends."
I placed my hands in my lap and fiddled with them while trying to figure out what that meant. 'Friends.'
"Look Jordan I...I can't talk about this right now." He said as he quickly got up and walked over to the window.
I jumped up to stop him just in time. As he opened the window I flew to grab his arm tripping over pretty much everything in my room in the process. He chuckled as he caught me before I fell. My cheeks turned bright red before I too was laughing.
Smooth Jordan.
As soon as I caught my balance I looked at Travis who just stood there with a blank look on his face now.
"Travis, I don't know what's going on but whatever it is you can talk to me about it. Okay?"
I gave him a sincere smile as he nodded his head and stared out the window. Travis opened the window back up to leave, but before he left he embraced me in one of those bone-crushing hugs. And before I knew it Travis was out of my window and hopping out of the tree he came up in. Leaving me there standing in the same spot grinning to myself. A few minutes later I closed the window and hopped into my bed falling asleep with a smile plastered in my face.
