Fallen From Grace: THE SINNERS SERIES

chapter twenty-nine.

"You wanna ride with me?" River asked as he walked into the bathroom. He wasn't dressed unlike everyone else, and I needed to touch up my hair anyways.

"Uhh sure," I said as I fiddled with the curling wand and fixed my front strands. He took it from me placed it on the desk. His hands travelled to my hips and looked at me through the mirror.

"You're hair is straight meaning you had no intentions of making it curly. You're stalling. What's up?" He asked and I tried to smooth down my dress and he spun me around and held my wrists in his hands.

"Stop avoiding it and answer the question." He whispered in my ear and I rested my forehead against his black t-shirt and sighed.

"He's gonna be there," I whispered and River instantly let go of me and pulled me in for a hug.

"I hit him with my car," I mumbled and he looked down at me. "You saw him?" He asked and I nodded.

"It was the day I left," I muttered and I felt his hand smooth down the top of my hair and pushed all the flyaways back and into the bun.

"Okay, You're good. I promise I won't leave your side." He said as he kissed me and I leaned in to make the moment last longer but he pulled away.

"Come on, we gotta go." He said as he took my hand and we both headed out of the house and into his car.

"I wanna drive!" I whined as I tried to reach for the keys in his hand but he moved his hand just in time for me to miss them and I pouted.

He smirked and walked to the driver's seat. He looked back at me and realised that I wasn't going to move from where I was standing.

He sighed and held out the keys and I squealed and tried to grab the keys but he moved his hand to his chest as he encased them in his fist.

"Please-" He started and I pressed my finger to his lips.

"Stop being a big baby. I haven't crashed my car into anything since like- Well actually two days ago but you know, it's a record." I shrugged and climbed into the seat and he walked over to the passenger seat.

Everything is so much...bigger.

"Please stop staring at my car like that. It could be his last day." He sighed and I faked shock.

"You really think I'm that much of a bad driver?"

He nodded.

"Well just for that," I muttered as I put in the key and immediately reversed backwards in a sharp moment and he cursed loudly.

"Fucking hell Nyah!" He yelled as he took my hands off the steering wheel and I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe.

He watched me until I stopped laughing by didn't move his hands from my wrists.

"Do you trust me?" I asked as I shifted in my seat so I could lean closer to him. "Well in this case-" He began by I stopped him as I kissed his cheek lightly.

"Do you, trust me?" I repeated slowly as I looked into his eyes and his grip softened.

"Of course I trust you, baby," He answered and I smiled as he let go of me and I placed both of my hands on either side of his face.

"Good," I mumbled before I pressed my lips to his and he responded instantly. My insides tightened as I savoured the moment and we stayed in this moment for a while.

"Okay, we gotta go now," I mumbled against his lips and he kissed me again and let go of me and I sat in the seat. He went slightly rigid in his seat and I smirked.
