A Lonely Path

Chapter 5 - The BIG Bang

Chapter 5

This chapter is dedicated to my amazing friend 97_Vanessa. Practically my sister actually. Thank you for all the support with this story which is still growing. I wouldn't have gotten this far without you.

I had no idea where we were going but hey I was enjoying the ride. So instead of concentrating on whether I was safe or not I held on tight to Brad and enjoyed the view of London around us. I hadn't seen much of London because we had just moved and I only ever went to school and the park, so it was amazing to see all the city had to offer. The wind was blowing through my hair, whipping it across my face. It was surreal.

Brad stopped the motorcycle. We were in front of a beautiful park. At the entrance there was a wrought iron gate with ivy growing on it. The grass was extremely green and incredibly colourful flowerbeds were arranged all over the grass.

I got off the motorcycle and Brad immediately got off after me. He reaches out to take off my helmet and I feel woozy. His smell is intoxicating.

The park is beautiful. The sun has made a rare appearance. The grass is a wonderful shade of green and the sky is blue. It's magnificent. A perfect day.
We were sitting on the grass. Well more like he was sitting and I was lying. The sun had decided to pay a surprise visit. It was warm well as warm as it can get and it was nice.
I had gotten out my novel and was reading the wonderful words of James Patterson. Every once in a while I would look up to look at Brad. Now I was the one turning into a stalker.

The next time I looked up from the book to look at him I found his deep green eyes staring at me. I can't describe how it felt. It was so intense. The connection was so strong, I wanted to look away but I couldn't. I had never in my life felt such a feeling towards someone else. I was

He leaned forward his full lips parted. He took a sharp intake of breath and it made my heart lurch. His gaze did not leave mine. It wasn't until his face was so close to mine that I could see the flecks of brown in his eyes that I came back down to Earth.

He was going to kiss me. He was going to fucking kiss me. I am sixteen but I've never been kissed, at least not to me because I don't consider drunk high men slobbering all over me kissing.

He sensed something was wrong from me jumping backwards away from him. "Are you okay? Is something wrong?"

"What! I just learnt your name today and you are asking me what's wrong! I don't know a fucking thing about you and you don't know anything about me either that's what's wrong!"

"C'mon Kylie that's not what's wrong. You came all the way here without knowing who I was. What's changed?"

I was lost for words. He had gotten straight to the point. The way he looked at me it was like he already understood me before he knew me. He wasn't the problem, I was the problem. I just couldn't trust that everybody wasn't like all my mother's lovers.

"What's changed is that you are now trying to kiss me and nobody's ever done that before. At least not without hurting me and I don't know if I can trust that you won't hurt me. How do I know that you won't try and take advantage of me, beat me? I'm still trying to get over my past and I don't think I can risk yet having to start all over again."

Throughout all of my rant he did not disrupt me. He listened attentively, and his eyes looked so sad that I almost thought he would cry for me. Almost.

"Kylie. I wouldn't hurt you. I could never imagine...never... even think of doing such horrible things to you." He ran his fingers through his hair, he was obviously distressed and I hated being the reason for that.

"I am so sorry for what you've had to go through. I know you probably don't want people feeling sorry for you." He was right I didn't I hate sympathy. "But I totally understand that you're not ready. I just want you to know I'm not leaving. And I'll be whatever you need me to be and whenever you're ready I'll be right here by your side."

He reaches over and takes hold of my hand. I didn't realise how cold my hands were until he took hold of them. He smelt so good up close. It was a fresh lemony scent but not too overpowering. I loved it. He was so close to my face if I move just an inch we would be kissing. I could hear his heart beating strong and fast in his chest and I put my hand right on his chest just where his heart would be. He looked up slowly at me, a small smile tugging at his lips. It was too cute to resist. I smiled back. He just took away all my monsters under my bed. He raised his hand shakily and put his hand on top of mine. I could tell he was nervous that I would jump back again but when he saw I was calm he let his hand rest there. It felt nice as well just knowing he was there.

I suddenly felt this sudden urge to be closer to him so I leaned forward and closed the gap between us. My lips were on his lips and it felt amazing. They were warm and soft just like how it should be. I closed my eyes and savoured the feeling of his lips on mine. At first he was taken aback by my forwardness but then he relaxed. Running his fingers through my hair. Thank god I straightened it that morning otherwise his fingers would just get stuck.

I was suddenly very aware that we were in the middle of the park and people could be watching us so I pulled back away from him. He was grinning from ear to ear. I took deep long breaths for some reason I felt so out of breath.

"Brad. I think I trust you now and that's something I never do."

"Don't worry baby I'll take care of you."

And with that he leaned forward again. My eyes were open so I saw him close his eyes, his long eyelashes hitting his cheek as he moved his mouth against mine. He started to deepen the kiss taking me to places I'd never been and I closed my eyes starting to get into the rhythm. I no longer cared if people were watching all I cared about was the both of us and how magical the moment we were in was.

I'm so sorry for this short chapter. I just haven't written in so long and I'm still trying to get into the groove of it. I've been so busy with school it's all just killing me. Really sorry about that I will honestly try and update more often. Enjoy my lovelies.
