The next day, I decided to go to a small park to swing. The day before had been a pain because my mother had took me home from grandma's and beat me until I bled. I had worn a long sleeved shirt and jeans so people would not see what she did. She had made me go outside and pick out a stick so she could beat me with it. She had switched me so many times on my back, that I wondered how I had not bled out and died during the night. I couldn't reach my back to bandage them either. Luckily they stopped bleeding.
Once I arrived at the park, I sat down on the swing wincing because it stretched open the wounds on my back. I wiped away the tears that had unintentionally fallen with my sleeve and laid my head on the chains holding up the swing. More tears streamed down my face, but I didn't bother wiping them away.
I close my eyes and sigh. I shiver as a cool blow of air hits my back, making my hair blow also. I open my eyes when I hear a twig crack behind me. I stand up quickly, making me wince because the sudden burn in my back. I look up to see Splendy with a smile on his face. The smile disappears once he see's me.
"Little child, what's the matter?" He says, the concern in his voice obvious.
I sniffle and feel more tears stream down my face.
"N-nothing.." I stutter.
Splendy walks over to me and squats down in front of me so that we're eye level.
"Please tell me.." He whispers, gently whipping away the hair in my face with his long slender fingers.
I look down as a single tear falls down my cheek. He gently wipes it away and takes both of my hands in his.
"Please.." He says, his breath hitting me. His breath smelt of caramel and warm vanilla sugar.
I suddenly give in, telling him everything that happened yesterday. I told him how sore my back was and I couldn't even reach it to bandage or treat my wounds. I told him how evil my mother was, but I somehow managed to still love her. After that, I begin to cry hysterically.
Splendy pulls me into him, and gently wraps his long arms around my body. Sobs take over my body as I snuggle into him. I cry into his suit, probably drenching it in my tears. He gently strokes my back, making me snuggle into him even more if possible. He sits down on the mulch of the park and pulls me into his lap and rocks me like one would do so to a crying baby. After about twenty minutes my sobs become sniffles.
He continues to rock me and stroke my hair and whisper soothing words to me. As he runs his cold fingers through my hair I sigh. He was so gentle, so caring. After my sniffles become nothing, we sit in silence.
"I'm sorry.." He whispers to me, his warm breath hitting my ear, making me shiver once again.
"It's not your fault.." I whisper back, looking into his dark but caring eyes. I weakly smile at him. I then look down at his suit and frown.
"I think I ruined your suit.." I say trying to wipe off the tears on his suit with the sleeve of my shirt.
He takes my hand and smiles.
"Don't worry about it.." He says squeezing my hand.
I smile and wrap my arms around his neck, giving him a hug. He instantly hugs me back, resting his chin on the top of my head.
I couldn't believe I met the guy yesterday and I was already this comfortable being around him. I really didn't care at the moment.
I unwrap my arms from around his neck and try to stand up, but the wounds on my back stretch, making me fall back down onto Splendy. I groan and mutter my apologies. He chuckles and lifts me up and then stands up himself. He gently sits me down on my feet. I smile up at him before an idea forms in my head.
"Wanna go for a ride?" I say dangling my car keys.
"Like in a car?" He says excitedly.
Had he never been in a car before?
"Yeah, like in a car." I say giggling.
"Sure!" He yells loudly, making some birds in a nearby tree fly out of it.
I giggle and take his hand and lead him to my car. Once we're both inside the car, I look over at him in the passengers seat and giggle. Splendy was a cramped mess. His knees were bent so far up that he could probably rest his chin on them. I reach over and grip the handle to push his seat back to provide him a little more room.
Once I push the seat back, he has a little more leg room but is still cramped. He looks over at me and grins. I giggle and smile sadly at him.
"Are you uncomfortable?" I ask.
"Not at all." He says smiling. The reply was convincing, but I knew he was lying.
"Are you sure?" I say frowning.
"Positive!" He yells enthusiastically.
I grin and shake my head at him. I start the car and turn on the radio. I then zoom out of the playground's parking lot. I laugh when I hear Splendy's surprised yelp when I speed away from the parking lot.
I roll down the windows and look over at Splendy and giggle when he grips onto his polka dotted hat to keep it from flying off his head and out the window. He looks over at me and laughs, the cute blush on his face making me giggle. I gasp loudly, instantly getting Splendy's attention when my favorite song comes on the radio. It was called, "Do you think I'm sexy?" By Rod Stewart. What could I say I was an 80's freak. I start to sing along with Rod Stewart.
Sugar, sugar
She sits alone waiting for suggestions
He's so nervous avoiding all the questions
His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
come on sugar let me know.
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on honey tell me so
Tell me so baby
He's acting shy looking for an answer
Come on honey let's spend the night together
Now hold on a minute before we go much further
Give me a dime so I can phone my mother
They catch a cab to his high rise apartment
At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
come on honey tell me so
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know
His heart's beating like a drum
'cos at last he's got this girl home
Relax baby now we are alone
They wake at dawn 'cos all the birds are singing
Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking
Outside it's cold, misty and it's raining
They got each other neither one's complaining
He say's I sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee
Never mind sugar we can watch the early movie
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
come on sugar let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on honey tell me so
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know
If you really, really, really, really need me
just let me know
Just reach out and touch me
If you really want me
just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
come on sugar let me know
If you, if you, if you really need me
just come on and tell me so
Once I finish the singing the song, I giggle and look over at a very shocked Splendy sitting in the passengers seat. I turn the radio down and look over at him.
"You okay, Splendy?" I say, hoping I didn't scare him with my singing.
He nods and starts laughing.
"What?" I say laughing.
"Nothing.." He says smiling and focusing on the road, his smile turning to a smirk. I smirk back at him before I also focus my attention back on the road.
I pull around the driveway of a Dairy Queen and look over at the menu.
"What do you want Splendy?" I ask looking over at him and back at the menu. Splendy crawls over on me and sticks his head out of the window to get a better view of the menu. I grunt under his weight but don't complain.
"The Banana Split looks good..." He says looking at the menu in awe.
I giggle and nod my head.
"Those are delicious.."
"Then Banana Split it is!" He yells.
I giggle again and pull him back into the passengers seat.
"What are you going to get?" He says, an adorable smile plastered on his face.
"Probably a Peanut Buster Parfait." I say smiling at him.
Before he can say anything else the speaker beside the microphone speaks up.
"Welcome to Dairy Queen. May I take you order?"
I smile and say, "Yes, I would like a Banana Split and Peanut Buster Parfait."
"Will that be all?"
I look over to Splendy to see if he wanted anything else. He shook his head no and I turned back to the speaker.
"Yes. Thank you."
"It will be six dollars and ninety-three cents. Please pull around to the second window."
I drive to the second window and wait patiently for our treat. Of course I paid for the treat because I wouldn't allow Splendy to buy it.
A boy around my age comes and hands me Splendy's Banana Split. I grin evilly at Splendy and act like I'm going to keep his Banana Split instead of giving it to him. He pouts, his bottom lip sticking out. I giggle and give in, handing it to him. He chuckles and takes it from me. I look back and grab my Peanut Buster Parfait from the man and give him a smile before driving away.
I drive to a parking space and turn off the car. I look over to see Splendy consuming his Banana Split.
"Do you like it?" I say giggling at him and taking a bite of my Peanut Butter Parfait.
He nods happily, making me giggle more.
We both finish out treats around the same time. I look over to Splendy and see a bit of ice cream on his chin. I giggle and wipe it off of him.
"Thanks.." He says to me smiling and blushing.
"Your so cute!" I say giggling and starting the car and pulling out of the driveway.
Splendorman's P.O.V
Did she just call me cute? I feel my blush darken. I try to keep calm and not freak out over what she just called me. I decide to play it off cool.
"I know I am.." I say, purposely being cocky.
She rolls her eyes and gently slaps my arm while she giggles, which makes me giggle also.
I look her over and see how pretty she looked. Her dark red hair hung freely over her shoulders and her face was basically radiating with happiness.
"You look pretty today.." I say before I can stop myself.
I see her cheeks turn light pink. Did I just make her blush?
"I'm not wearing any makeup at all and my hair is a mess! How can you even say that?" She says glancing over at me like I'm crazy.
I chuckle and say, "Well, none of that matters. You look beautiful to me."
She smiles up at me and shyly says, "Thank you, Splendy."
I smile down and her, my cheeks probably still a dark red color.
After a couple of minutes of driving in a comfortable silence, we arrive at a very large house, making Callie sigh.
"Home sweet home.." She mutters. She looks over at me and smiles.
"You live here?" I ask.
"Yeah.." She says looking over at the mansion.
"Nice place.." I mutter, checking out the mansion.
Callie's P.O.V
"Wanna come inside? My mom's not home." I say to Splendy.
"What about your father?" Splendy says.
I flinch as soon as I hear the word "father." I look up at Splendy with sad eyes.
"He's not here either.."
Splendy looks at me with concern.
"Something wrong?" He asks.
"No everything's fine. C'mon let's go inside." I say smiling and getting out of the car, trying not to stretch my back. Splendy comes around my side of the car and helps me out.
I take his hand and lead him inside my house and up into my rather large room. I let go of his hand and lay down on my bed, closing my eyes and resting my back.
"Your room is very nice.." I hear a deep but gentle voice say.
I smile and pat the spot beside me on my bed. I hear Splendy's footsteps click against the hard wood floor as he makes his way over to me. I feel the bed sink a little as Splendy lays down beside of me. I open my eyes and smile over at him. He smiles back at me.
"You look tired, maybe you should take an afternoon nap." Splendy suggests to me.
"If you insist.." I say grinning cockily.
"Close your eyes." I say to Splendy before standing up and slipping on some pajama pants and a Pink Floyd t-shirt. I come back over and lay down beside Splendy, whose eyes were still closed.
"You can open them now.." I say yawning.
He opens his eyes and smiles at me. I smile back at him before scooting closer to him and snuggling up against his chest. I feel his arms wrap around my back and gently stroke it. I sigh and feel myself drift off into a deep sleep, feeling safe with Splendy holding me in his arms.
Splendorman's P.O.V
I gently stroked Callie's back while she snuggled up against my chest. I could tell she was asleep by her heavy, slow breathing. I lifted my hand and swept away the hair hanging in her face. She was so small and fragile. I felt very...protective over her. I gently pressed my lips against her forehead, making her smile in her sleep. I chuckle softly and look down at her lips.
I looked at them hungrily, but I didn't kiss her. Plus, she doesn't even like me in that way. Or does she?
