Chapter Twenty-Eight
~~~~~ Kylie - Imagine me and you ~~~~~
As the days went by, Kylie fell more and more in love with the girl that had turn out to be one of the best things that has ever happen in her life. They spent most of their time together and enjoyed every second of it. They didn't do much except hold each other, but Kylie had never been so happy as to do anything but talk and have someone's arms wrapped around her. She loved to melt in the girls strong arms and inhale her sweet smell when given the chance.
Most importantly, Kylie was thankful that she had the opportunity to talk about herself whereas when she was going out with Anthony, he did all the talking while she kept to herself mostly because she had nothing to say to him or she didn't feel like talking about herself to him. She loved the fact that she could be so open and Alex would never judge her. They talked about everything that was on their minds while the other listened attentively. Kylie enjoyed the girls stories about her scandalous and rebellious childhood but once in a while, it didn't go unnoticed by the blued eyed girl that, there were certain things that Alex would never talk about.
Kylie did not want to speak of this due to the fact that Kylie also had not told her girlfriend about all her problems and not just her financial problems but her real problems with not only her mother but her father as well. Alex never overstepped her boundaries and was patiently waiting for Kylie to open up herself not knowing that Kylie was waiting for the same.
"That one looks like a bunny." Kylie heard the girl say as the lay on the grass on opposite sides their heads almost touching. She looked at the direction Alex's finger was pointing and laughed trying to make the cloud look like a bunny but her mind would not allow it to be anything but a weird shaped cloud. The wind blew around them lifting their hair and caressing their skin. Kylie closed her eyes and enjoyed the wind and the smell of the freshly cut grass. She listened attentively as her girl hummed an unfamiliar song. Soon she gave up figuring it was probably a Spanish song Alexandria was humming.
"That one looks like you." Kylie says pointing at the cloud right above them. Kylie turns to see the girls face their noses almost touching. Alex creases her eyebrows together and then shakes her head from side to side slowly. "That looks nothing like me." the girl states chuckling a little.
Kylie holds in a laugh and tries to explain to Alex how to shape the cloud to look like the girl but Alex still sees no reflection of herself causing her to glare at Kylie when the girl would not stop trying to make the cloud into Alex's face.
"you just don't have a good active imagination." Kylie tells Alexandria earning yet another glare from the brown eyed girl.
"if that one looks like me, then that one looks like you." Alex says pointing at a random cloud above them and then folding her arms. Kylie smiled and shook her head. "that doesn't even look like a cloud. That my friend, is a pathetic excuse for a cloud." She heard a small chuckle and then felt the girls lips kiss her forehead and a hand caress her cheek. The simple gesture made her heart race and the hairs on the back of her neck rise.
"so what do you want to do today. I heard that the there having a grand opening on the new little amusement park." Kylie said trying to distract herself and it seemed to work until Alex helped her up and brought their bodies close together. Being so close to the girl clouded Kylie's judgment.
"Are you asking me out on a date miss Balthazar?" Alex asks playfully getting even closer. Kylie tries to thinks for a few seconds and then nods her head slowly not sure as to why she is. When she feels the girls lips on her own, she doesn't question it and kisses her back enjoying the way Alexandria runs her hands down her body.
Kylie then puts her hands on the girls neck and waist deepening the kiss even more. She tried to get herself to stop when her mind reminded her that Mike or Rachael could walk out at any time and catch them, but then Alex moaned in a way that drove Kylie over the edge.
"you know that when you do things like that, there is a slight chance that I might just go crazy." her voice was low and raspy barely even audible. Kylie opened her eyes after ending the kiss and putting her forehead on Alexandria's forehead.
The girl smiled exposing her dimples making Kylie' heart squeeze. Kylie was in awe for a few moments and did not hear Rachael calling them for lunch but was thankful that they were not caught.

"No, no no no! Please Kylie don't do this to me." Kylie held the girl by the waist not letting her run away as Alex fought to free herself. "Kylie don't do this to me. I agreed to come with you but I never agreed to go on the rides with you." Alex had a scared expression on her face as she practically begged Kylie to let her go. Kylie found this to be incredibly weird and yet she couldn't help but laugh at the girl who had fought policemen and yet here she was scared to go on a roller-coaster ride.
"You are a coward. You talk big but when it comes down to it, you are nothing but a coward Alexandria Santiago." Kylie felt the girl stop struggling and turn to face her. Alexandria glared at Kylie with all her might not appreciating the comment. "You take that back." Alex said seriously. Alex had told Kylie that she was not a fan of heights and hated the feeling she got when falling. Kylie knew she had pushed the wrong button but she wanted her girl to overcome her fears not run away from them.
"Then go on the rides with me. All of the rides including the Ferris Wheel." Kylie countered pointing at the huge Ferris Wheel on the far end of the park. There was a moment of silence as Alex looked up to the enormous Ferris Wheel then looked at Kylie and gulped loudly clearly scared out of her mind.
~~~~~ Alex - I'm going to die ~~~~~
'no no no no no! Get me of this thing!' I look around panicking as the roller-coaster starts. I close my eyes and grab on to the metal bars for dear life. This is not happening.
'Don't be a coward. Open your eyes. We have got to get through this. Lets show that girlfriend of yours that we are in fact not cowards.' are you sure this is a good idea, you were screaming no just a few seconds ago. 'you know that I'm not a fan of heights or the feeling of falling period. Just don't scream OK?' there will be no promises made on my part.
When the ride beings to move, I slowly begin to open my eyes and smile. This isn't so bad. The coaster goes at a comfortable speed making me swing my feet back and forth enjoying the ride. 'this is not bad at all. We can do this.'
"Hold on!" Kylie yells at me. I turn to her but then the wind pushes me backwards into the seat as the roller-coaster gains speed and then goes up does a loop and goes back down at an impossible speed. The screams come within the seconds.
"ahhh!" I try really hard not to scream but my body has never been thrown up and down and around like this. 'you do extreme sports, You beat the crap out of people who piss you off, but you are afraid of one little miserable roller-coaster ride?' This is different and besides if you are me then you are also screaming your heart out. 'good point.'
When looking next to me Kylie is also screaming but rather than freaking out and wanting the ride to end, she lifts her hands in the air and and screams of joy escape her lips. 'your girlfriend has more guts than you.' your point being? 'you have a bad-ass girlfriend.'
"Let's go again!" Kylie says when the roller coaster finally stops. I look forward still having a death grip on the bars and don't even look at her. Noting that in fact i will not move on my own, Kylie helps me unbuckle myself and catches me when my knees give up.
"Whoa there." she says hanging on to my waist. A huge smile is on her face as she kisses my nose and then my lips. A few seconds later she breaks the kiss and lets me go with a bigger smile on her face.
"See, you are still alive. No broken bones and no blood. Well my ears are hurting due to your constant screaming, but I'll survive." when i just glare at her she grabs my hand and drags me to yet another ride.
After a while the screams become less severe but they never die down due to the fact that the speed keeps increasing with every ride she dragged me too.
After riding almost every ride we sit down and enjoy a funnel cake together. When done eating Kylie eyes the game area and asks me to win her a giant panda bear. Of course me being the great girlfriend that I am, grab the basketball and compete against four other guys who also want the last giant panda bear for their girlfriends. The Girl with the mike blows her horn indicating that we can start shooting from the free throw line. The first three guys make their shots while the last one hits the rim and then the ground without it ever going through the basket. His girlfriend kisses him and applauded his efforts.
The girl asks us to take three steps back and shoot from there making it a little difficult for us to make the basket. When two guys miss the last one steps up his game and puts his game face on. Making the shot boots his pride but when I also make the shot he scowls at me and takes yet another three steps back. After making the shot he throws me the basketball with a cocky grin. Kylie seems really angry at the guy but she simply just cheers for me when I go up to shoot.
"Have I told you just how much I love you?" Kylie asks me eying the panda in my arms. I chuckle and give her the stuffed animal that is almost bigger than me. She then gives me a peck on the lips and once again drags me across the park like she has been doing this entire time.
'I have a bad felling about this.' you and me both.
"please Kylie I've been to every ride with you, can't we just go home?." she shakes her head no and pulls me over to a long line.
"no no no not this one. Haven't you seen all the movies. These things always get stuck at the very top." She simply laughs and goes behind me hugging my waist and putting her chin on my shoulder. When we get to the front she asks if she can put the panda on the side. When the guy says she can she runs over to put the bear down and then comes back to me trying to seduce me into going on this ride with her.
"That's no going to work. There is no way that I'm getting on that thing."

"You can see our school from here." She points smiling and cuddling next to me even more. "thanks for doing this even though I had to actually shove you into it." my instincts tell me not to do it, but when they do its already too late. Kylie giggles as I hold onto her for dear life after looking down below us. "please don't let go." I beg. She holds me tighter and kisses my head.
"I will never do that, not unless you tell me too."
I was about to kiss her when my biggest fear came true. "I told you!! Kylie I told you this damn thing would stop at the very top, but do you listen to me, nooo!" once again she laughs at me. 'Don't freak out it's just a technical glitch they are working on it right now.'
"Can you just shut up and enjoy the moment. We are not dead so just enjoy it while you still can alright, because how many people can actually say that they have gotten stuck with the person they love in a Ferris Wheel in real life?." With that she kisses me and for the first time in a long time I give in to the moment and enjoy it like I was told to do.
"You have a very warm body you know that?" she says after a while. I shrug not sure if it's true or not.
"maybe you are just a cold-blooded person, ever think of that possibility?" Even when holding her she still manages to find the right position to hit me straight in the gut making me move the cart in which we are sitting. Immediately I scream and hug her even tighter forcing my eyes closed and not moving a single muscle. "Hija de su madre!" I murmur under my breath. By the looks of it Kylie did not hear it because if she would have then I would be hurting by now.
"Sometimes I wonder if you are real or just a figment of my imagination. I mean how can someone be so perfect and so beautiful yet be dumb enough as to choose me over any guy? Anyone at school would be lucky to have you, and you know as well as I do that Ismael likes you, and yet here you are with me stuck in midair." I can hear the wheels on her head turning as she tries to wrap her head around it. My mouth opens trying to say something to her but the way she is doing circles on my thigh is really distracting.
"Kylie Balthazar, you are seriously one dumb blonde." I tell whisper into her hair. This causes her to let go of me and those blue eyes of hers to glare at me for the 50th time today. "I don't know how it happened exactly but the time that you ran into me, you changed things for me." She calms down and once again cuddles into me.
"Kylie you are the reason why I wake up every morning with a smile on my face. You made me addicted to Grey's Anatomy and made me watch all those stupid chick flicks with you every night before we go to bed." I can fell her smiling.
After a few minutes the Ferris Wheel finally moves allowing us to get off. Kylie was almost falling asleep in my eyes her excuse being that my body was warm and that me playing with her hair and singing quietly was not helping either.
Kylie and I went straight to my room when getting back to the house and got ready for bed after saying goodnight to Mike and Rachael who were watching a scary movie and freaked when we came in thinking we were the monsters in the movie.
"Thanks for today." Kylie mumbled making herself comfortable next to me. I mumble a hmm and wrap my arms around her waist letting the sweet darkness take me into a beautiful bliss.
~~~~~ Kylie – The girl is mine ~~~~~
"No that's not what I-" Casey raised her hands in defeat giving up trying to explain herself to the cheerleading team. 'Listen, all I'm saying is that the girl is not bad on the eyes. I mean if she ever looks my way, I would definitely consider leaving Jace." The girls all stare at Casey with wide eyes.
"Are you saying that you would leave Mr. captain of the baseball team for a freshman girl who we know nothing about?" Samantha questioned the girl not sure why she would say things like that in the fist place. She took some time to think of why Casey would say that but nothing came to mind.
"Yes I mean, look at her!" Casey points across the hall to a couple girls turning the corner. Kylie had arrived late into the conversation but when noticing that they were talking about her girl, Kylie immediately payed more attention to what was being said.
"She is just.. ah gorgeous!" Casey leaned up against her locker and bit her bottom lip. The girls rolled their eyes and laughed at Casey when she put her hand on her forehead and pretended to faint into Samantha's arms.
"Alexandria Santiago you will be mine." Casey murmured under her breath seeing the girl talk to Taylor and a couple other people at the end of the hall.
"I'm going to have to agree with our delusional friend here. Alexandria is not so bad looking and she has the voice of an angel not to mention that she plays sports and possesses many other talents that we are not aware of."
Having heard enough Kylie closed her locker and tried to control her temper. She closed her eyes and adjusted her backpack but nothing seemed to work. Moments later Kylie walked straight up to Alexandria disrupting the conversation she was having with Taylor and a few members of the football team.
Before Alex could even greet her, Kylie had already grabbed Alexandria by the neck and waist . A small smile played on Kylie's face before she brought their bodies down closed the distance between them causing everyone to fall silent for a few seconds.
Kylie kissed the girl once more and then brought their bodies up. Another grin appeared on her face as she saw Alexandria dazed and a bit confused as she walked back to the girls. Kylie looked back at Alex and blew her a kiss also giving her a flirtatious wink.
No one could believe it. Samantha's mouth was clear to the ground and Casey was speechless. Kylie simply smiled not needing to explain anything to them. She felt relieved and happy that everyone now knew and they would stay away from her girlfriend.
"Kylie, you so owe me for this!" Alex yelled from across the hallway. She smiled wider and wiggled her eyebrows knowing exactly how she would pay her debt.
~~~~~ Adriana – Amy's Confession ~~~~~
Adriana couldn't help but wonder where her daughter was. She wanted to know if Kylie had something to eat. She wanted to know if her daughter had a roof over her head. Most importantly, Adriana wondered if Kylie were coming home or if she even missed her at all. Not knowing these things killed her, but what she did know was that getting daughter back was not going to be an easy task.
Adriana was never the perfect mother but she cared about her children more than they gave her credit for. She would never get the mother of the year award and she knew that all too well. She knew that having an abusive father affected both their physical condition and their mental state. Adriana was aware that not even all the love in the world would change her husband, yet even when knowing this she stood by him day after day praying he would come to his senses and realize just how much his wife and children love him.
"What is with you Ade?" Her best friend asked noting Adriana's distant attitude towards their conversation. Adriana had known her since her first day at St. Joseph. She had made her first day bearable and from then on had become a very close friend. The young girl proved to be a very good nurse and one hell of a drinker in the weekends.
Adriana lifts her head looking away from the white surface of the table and looks at her friend. "Sorry Amy, I got distracted. What were you saying?" Adriana shakes her head trying to clear it from thoughts that would not help her throughout the day.
"How is Chris? I haven't seen him in a while." Amy asked filling her cup of coffee and then adding two spoons of sugar. As she stir her coffee, Amy turned to face Adriana concerned at the way she was behaving. It was so unlike her that Amy had begun to get a little worried. It was as if the weather was finally getting to her like everyone else.
Adriana lowered her head and flinched at the mention of his name. She rubbed her sore arm sending herself a message. No one knew how Chris really was towards his family. Adriana knew she needed to be strong. He would never lay a finger on her or her children ever again. He had left and this time it was for good. Watching him leave was the hardest thing she had ever witnessed but when taking Gabe to the park and spending some time with him, Adriana knew that everything would be OK.
Deep inside Adriana was thankful that he left but on the other side she felt guilty. Chris had taken care of her when her parents kicked her out. He loved Kylie as if she were his and gave her a wonderful son. These were the reasons why she endured the physical and metal abuse she was under for all these years. And this was also the reason she decided it was enough.
Before Adriana could respond to her friend's question, a nurse opened the door. Both woman turned to the nurse officially dismissing their conversation.
"Adriana, Mr. Collins wants to see you. Kelly tried to take some blood but he wouldn't let anyone touch him unless it's you. I can't find another nurse that wants to take his blood." Adriana closes her eyes and takes a deep breath regretting the fact that she had not even touched her coffee yet. "Tell Mr. Collins that I will be right there. " The nurse nods and exits the room. As the door closes Adriana looks back down at the counter top thinking about her daughter.
"Ade are you alright?" Amy asks her as Adriana makes no effort to move. Adriana smiles and then gets up with her cup of coffee knowing she will need it. "I'm Fine. I'll see you around A." She kisses her friend on the cheek and leaves the room wishing she had a little more break time. Amy was not an idiot and knew that something was up with her friend and by the looks of it, it was something big.
Amy shocked at the realization that she had been kissed, brings her hand up to her now burning cheek.
When would Adriana figure out what she does to Amy when she is close so close her not to mention when she embraces her into a tight hug? With a sigh Amy gets up and continues her day with the biggest smile on her face. She kissed me. Was the thought that would be occupying her mind for the remainder of the day.
~~~~~
"Goodbye Margarita, I'll see you tomorrow." Adriana waved addressing a co-worker that was parked next to her. She opened the door and lifted her head to see Amy staring at her.
"What?" Adriana asks her noticing the way she was being stared at. Something in the way Amy was staring at her sparked an interest but Adriana couldn't tell what. Amy shakes her head and tells Adriana that nothing is wrong.
Not making such a big deal of it, Adriana gets inside her car. A few seconds later she hears a car door slam and sees Amy cursing and kicking her car. Adriana couldn't help but laugh when seeing her juvenile friend jumping up and down while holding her injured foot.
"What's wrong?" Adriana asks pulling up and getting the woman's attention. Amy had figured Adriana was long gone but when hearing her voice she jumped and a loud scream escaped her throat. Her heart sped up as she put one hand on her mouth to cover her scream and the other on her chest trying to control her heart.
"Jesus, Ade! You almost gave me a heart attack!" Adriana just laughed as Amy glared at her with all her might. The sound was the sweetest sound Amy had ever heard and fell silent wanting to enjoy it as much as possible knowing that this is one of the few chances she will ever have to hear such a sweet sound. It had been so long since she had heard it that she now treasured every second of it.
When Adriana was done laughing she looked at her friend and asked what was wrong hoping to get a valid answer this time.
"My car has flat tire and I have no other way of getting home. My roommate is working until the morning and I know my mother will not want to wake up and come get me no matter if I am her one and only child." Amy sighted and passed her hand through her messy hair thinking of other options.
When realizing that her options were limited she sighted. She was almost pass the point of angry when she knew that even when having a slight chance that if she called someone they would not drive all the way to the hospital to get her. This made her grab her hair in despair and anger which when she looked back at Adriana realized that it was not sexy at all and she should most definitely stop.
"get in." Adriana said reaching over to open the passenger door for her friend.
Amy stood there deliberating whether being so close to Adriana was a good idea or not. Biting her lower lip she shook her head and rejected the offer knowing she could not control herself when they were at a such close proximity. "It's OK I can walk and catch the bus it's not that far away anyway." Amy told her already walking the half mile she needed to reach the nearest bus stop. Adriana was shocked but decided to let Amy go. The girl was acting strange. Stranger than usual.
Amy was thankful that Adriana didn't push her. She didn't know how to handle herself when she was close to the woman. Amy had little control of what her body did and almost no control of what came out of her mouth. They had been friends for over 5 years and even after 5 years Adriana still manged to make her heart stop every morning as she came in the hospital doors.
Seconds later rain began to pour. Amy felt the few drops on her sweater but thought nothing of it. It had been raining all week. It was nothing new. Amy was not expecting the rain to fall at such rate and intensity. She was getting soaked and was nowhere near shelter.
Adriana watched as Amy stretched out her arms and looked up yelling "really!" up into the raining sky as her scrubs got soaked by the water. She laughed and drove slowly next to her.
"Amy, now will you get in?" Adriana asked lowering her window. Amy opened the door and slammed it closed giving up trying to fight with fate. Adriana did not understand the girl's actions but made no comment about it not wanting to upset her even more.
"Where do you want me to take you?" Adriana says not knowing where to go since the weather did not permit much. Amy was distracted looking out the window and did not hear Adriana's question.
~~~~~
"What time do you want to leave?"
Adriana glared at her best friend. "We just got here and now you want to leave?"
"No, I just want to know when we are leaving so I know." Amy shook her head not sure as to what to say or what she was saying. She couldn't tell Adriana the truth. Amy had promised herself to never act on the silly girl crush she had on her best friend but it has now become torturous for Amy to be so close to Adriana and not be able to touch her. It had been 5 long years.
"Can I have three shots of whiskey please?" Amy tells the bartender knowing she would need every once of the drink to get through the day. When the drinks were in front on her, Amy drowned each one like if they were water instead of hard liquor. Her throat burned and her head hurt a little. Adriana watched in awe feeling a little jealous since she could never be able to do that.
They talked about their personal lives until they were fully drunk. "Ade I think I'm drunk" Amy says putting her arm across Adriana's shoulders. Both girls laughed loudly. "Can you call us a taxi?" Adriana asked the bartender who had been watching over them the entire time. The girl nodded already haven called them a taxi a few minutes ago and a tow truck that would take Adriana's car back to her house. Adriana took out her purse to pay for bothering her but the bartender held up her hand and shook her head saying that it was no big deal.
When they got to Adriana's house, Amy laid down on the couch not sure if she could climb the stairs in her current state. Adriana called Abraham's house to make sure Gabriel was alright and hung up when he told her that he was sleeping in his son's room.
"Do you want something to drink?" Adriana asked Amy looking in the fridge for some water or juice, anything to help with their drunken state.
"No! No more alcohol!" Amy yelled from the living room. Adriana chuckled.
"I meant if you wanted water or some orange juice not more alcohol." She yelled back.
"Oh, then I'll have some water please if you don't mind." Amy blushed.
"Here you go." Adriana handed Amy a glass of cold water and sat next to her on the sofa. They stared at the TV not knowing what to talk about.
"I should go-" Amy got up and started to leave but Adriana grabbed her hand stopping her. Amy froze instantly. Electricity waves entered and left her body. Her hand was burning but not in a way that would cause her pain but quite the opposite. Amy had held Adriana's hand multiple times. But this time it was different. It felt different.
"Don't go." Adrian begged not wanting the night to end. Adriana could not remember the last time she had such a great time with a friend and did not want Amy to leave so quickly. "It's pouring out, and plus we shouldn't be driving a car in our state, and the taxi will take a few minutes plus you will get wet." The reasons were very good but when Adriana proposed to do something there were not many things that could stop her.
Amy considered this for a few seconds but decided that she would take her chances and leave. "I'm sorry but I can't stay." She didn't know how much self control she had left. That is, if she had any to begin with.
"Why not?" Adriana asked not sure as to why Amy had to leave when it was pouring outside and she had just offered her shelter for the night.
Amy wanted to tell her everything but instead she closed her eyes and sat back down on the couch wishing and praying to the mighty Gods that she wouldn't do anything stupid tonight. Amy could already tell that this was going to be a long night, if not the longest of her life so far. And as if to prove her right, Adriana grabbed Amy hands and made her get up to dance with her. Their bodies were closer than they had ever been. Amy was speechless and numb. She couldn't move so Adriana started to move her arms and waist witch drove Amy over the edge more than once. Amy didn't even notice when Adriana turned on her stereo.
After a while, Amy stopped fighting everything she felt and danced with her friend to a song that she had heard in her early childhood and hadn't heard ever since. The next song was a little faster. Adriana grabbed Amy's waist yet again and moved her hips from side to side. Amy's head was spinning and it was not due to the alcohol running through her veins. This had nothing to do with alcohol but all to do with the girl manipulating her body. The girl she had dreamed of what was happening ever since they met.
With a sudden movement Amy turned around abruptly and ran into Adriana not paying attention to what she was doing. Her mind was blurred. They were about the same height making it so that when she realized it, Amy was staring right into Adriana's lips. For so long she had wanted to know what it would be like to kiss such beautiful lips but for one reason or the other she had stopped such thoughts and continued with her day. But now that she was so close to making her dreams come true, Adriana was making it very hard for Amy to back away. Her self control was lacking at this point.
When she couldn't take it any longer, Amy crushed her lips against the pair of lips that had cost her endless amount of sleep.
"Please tell me to stop." Amy breathed into Adriana's lips. She begged for Adriana to stop her. She begged her to stop all of it but Adriana never did.
~~~~~
The next morning Adriana groaned her head pounding against her skull. The last time she had gotten this drunk was when she was in college and the consequences were not pretty. Adriana rubbed her temples and then felt someones breath on her neck realizing that she was not sleeping alone. With wide eyes she looked at the pair of arms wrapped around her protectively as if she was going to evaporate.
Adrian thought back to when she was being wrapped in someone's hands in the morning but stopped herself when realizing that Chris was the last person to do so other than Kylie's dad.
The person stirred and then suddenly let go of Adriana's body and was off the bed in a split second. Adriana also got up, her body covered with a sheet and faced the person who she had shared a bed with. She tried to remember what had led to all this but her mind was blank and was hurting. There was no logical explanation for any of it. She closed her eyes not wanting to see who she has shared a bed with.
"Amy?" She said out loud when opening them back up. With her eyebrows raised she stared at her naked friend before her.
End of Chapter
~~~~~
Oh My God I have finally finished!!!!!!!!!!!
I know most of you are just waiting to meet me so you can threaten me into writing until I finish this book, and trust me I don't blame you. The thing is that you guys have to remember that I have no idea what the hell I'm doing when I write a chapter. This seems to be an issue because some of you expect me to update weekly even daily, because you assume that I have everything already done and have even been working on a sequel, when in reality I haven't even thought of what is happening in the beginning of the next chapter.
My life has always been hectic, but right now with school, work, and a wedding coming up I have even less time to just sit down with my napkins and write. Yup, believe it or not my napkin method actually really seems to be working for me. I do indeed waste a ton of napkins then work overtime because after the chapter is done I have to type it on my phone then send it to my email and then upload it here. Wow just writing all that drained down my energy level.
My biggest issue right now is this wedding thing. I mean I love Rebecca, I love the girl to death. But when the time comes to decide what napkins we want to use, we fight for an entire week. Don't get me started on the napkin holders. When it comes time to decide what forks we want to use, we fight for another week and a half. Same goes for spoons and even the knives because apparently when it comes to mixing and matching, some matches just don't go together.
The only time we are at peace with each other is when our day is over and we are in bed exhausted and want nothing more than to sleep in each others arms. Romantic huh? -_-
The only decisions we have actually agreed on is the color, which is Orange by the way (have i mentioned just how much i love this chick?), the cake, and that she is wearing a dress and i am wearing a tux. There is no way in hell that I'm going to wear a wedding dress and there is no way in hell that Bec is wearing a tux to her wedding, so it all works out in that department.
My girl is just unique I guess. Rebecca is that annoying rich white girl you see in the movies. She is the one that irritates the fuck out of you, but you can't help but fall in love with her character and hope that she makes it in life. I know this sounds bad coming from me, her fiance, but hear me out. Bec is like extremely rich, I'm not even kidding she is filthy rich. She lives in a mansion and has 3, let me say that again 3, walk in closets. The first one is for her dresses and formal wear, the second is for her everyday and casual clothing, her third closet is for her shoes and accessories. You take two steps into my closet and you come face to face with the damn wall. What the hell do you need a mall for when you have one in your own damn house?
She plays the violin and piano so her posture is fucking straight (which is the only straight thing about her ;D). She is a huge daddy's girl and gets everything she asks for. All she has to do is say the word to get people to follow her every command. She doesn't even have to fucking say anything for me to shut the hell up and follow her around like a damn puppy.
I'm telling you, she is just everyone's dream girl. She is fucking gorgeous and rich not to mention fricking smart as hell. Sometimes I feel like the person no one wants their precious daughter to date because I will corrupt her and ruin her life. Of course her parents love me and have no problem with me dating their daughter.
But the thing is that Rebecca is the kind of girl who makes you want to believe that the world is a wonderful place. She's the kind of girl who will brighten your day by simply smiling and is capable of stopping your heart when she approaches you just to say hello. Bec is the girl who everyone wants as a friend because she always has your back and is willing to do anything to make you happy. She might be rich but she is worth way more than any currency in the world.
When my parents died, I spent my days sleeping in parks because I didn't want to go to a stranger's house. I slept at a local hospital bed for an entire month pretending to be a patient so I wouldn't have to sleep in a house where I was not wanted. Since I was a horrible child, I also spent many nights listening to girls complain about the hardness of their beds in juvenile detention.
My childhood was nothing less than an adventure. Man I'm telling you,my case worker hated my guts, and looking back, I honestly don't blame her. After all, selecting 23 homes for me to live in just one year can be a little bit if a hassle, don't you think?
Maybe it's because when something good happens in my life, it doesn't take much for it to vanish into thin air. Maybe it's because I don't deserve the good things that come into my life. Maybe it's just that I'm used to things not going my way. But when seeing Rebecca walk out the gate to meet me, something clicked onside my head. Seeing her leave her suitcase and run into my arms hugging the hell out of her, I wondered how I got so damn lucky. Seeing her face full of tears I thanked God for giving such a wonderful girl.
She had spent 4 days with her parents in Europe and the middle east. During this time I would look at my phone and beg for it to vibrate indicating that I had a text or call from her. When she didn't call I would freak out and call her almost in tears asking if she was OK only for her to tell me that she was in Spain meeting with a wedding planner or with a designer in Paris or Italy who would design her wedding dress. She went for only 4 days but the second I lost sight of her in the airport my heart was begging for her not to leave and come back to me.
She does things to me that are seriously not cool. When she said hi to me for the first time I just stood there like an idiot and then ran to the bathroom hyperventilating. I wanted to slap myself for being such an idiot. When she would look at me my stomach flipped and my heart raced at a speed that was to fast for my other organs to follow. When we were put in the same team in PE I almost fainted. When she passed by me in the halls and our hands or other body parts would touch, the butterflies in my stomach mutated into fire breathing dragons.
Four years later this girl still does that to me. Whenever she speaks to me my hands get sweaty and my heart threatens to escape its original position. I can't even take it when she sends me a text because I can't even text back as quickly due to my shaky hands. The butterflies ave become more intense. After all this time, this girl still manages to drive me off the edge by simply kissing my cheek.
So when getting a call saying that she was kidnapped my entire world fell apart. Her parents didn't know what to do with themselves as they watched the many policemen walk in and out their house setting up their equipment and asking them questions. No one knew what had happened and all I wanted to do was scream.
The people who had her were real professionals. They left no trace behind. When they called to negotiate they were impeccable using phones that were untraceable. I had to go to school and pretend that everything was fine when in reality I didn't know if Bec was hurt, if she had eaten, or if she was even alive.
The guy said that I was to go on with my life as I was doing and that if I told anyone, I would never see Rebecca again. I must say that being pressured to do good in school did miracles for my grades because they have never been this good.
Many days had gone by with no news , but then the guy calls me in the middle of class and tells me that he was to renegotiate. He wanted 5 million dollars and a plane so he could escape. Rebecca's parents of course already have the money and plane ready when the guy says that he wants me to deliver the money.
If this wouldn't have happened live I think I would have loved to see a movie like this.
The police of course wanted to wire me and give me a bulletproof vest and many other things so I wouldn't end up hurt or even dead. When the moment comes I go unwired and unprotected because the guy had been very specific.
Long story short, when it was time to make the trade, a mother efing cop fired at the wrong time ruining the rescue mission. I punched the guy who gave the order to take Bec away and ended up getting shot.
But don't you worry cuz Bec is safe and sound sleeping next to me right now enjoying the massage her chair is giving her as we travel to Hawaii in first class (cuz Bec does not do coach).
Man I honestly didn't know that when telling my in laws that I wanted to take Rebecca to a deserted island so nothing can hurt her they would actually get us tickets and send us to Hawaii for an entire week.
I honestly have the best fiancee and in laws ever!!!
wait never mind I think we might fight over what table cloths we are using for the tables or may what tables we are using for the reception.
