Craving him: The beginning of us

09- Hanging at Oliver's

Arielle

September 7,2020Monday

It's been hours and Riley's is staring at me like she wants an explanation, one that I can not give her.

"Riley I don't know what happened, I gave into temptation. It's not going to happen again"

"We're talking about the same man here are we?, The same guy you call a man whore and a heartless player?. You are sneaking around with him?" She questioned me with her arms crossed.

"I wish I could explain how it happened but honestly I wouldn't know myself. You know how he is, he flirts and gets into your head. I got caught up in the fantasy of it".

She hugs me and I start sobbing "what did he say to you?" She asks.

"I don't want to talk about? I reply quickly "but I need to go to the pharmacy to get plan b" she gasps.

"Arielle Marie king you did not" I looked down in embarrassment "I thought you guys were like making out, flirting I didn't think you..." she doesn't finish her sentence shock is obvious on her face.

"I know can we please don't talk about it. Blaine and I just had a fight and I don't want to think about him right now. I'll fill you in later".

I grab my jacket I feel in my jacket for my phone. Damn it I must have left it with Blaine. That means I have to see him again and I don't ever want to him again or do I? This is confusing.

I walk out with Riley, the cold air hitting my face. Finally I feel calm and not angry at all.  I knew it wasn't anger I was upset masking it with anger. I'm upset that he said he didn't care about me after everything we did. We knew each other since we were kids but he made it clear he doesn't even see me as a person with actual feelings.

I smile for the first time when I see Oliver park right next to us. I ran up to the car and opened the door I hugged him he laughed "you really missed me huh?".

"More than you know" I kiss him. It was true I did miss him more than he knew. Oliver would never hurt me he was too pure. Why would I be with the guy who would hurt me thousands times over?, When I could have the guy who would never hurt me?.

"I came over I called you but Blaine answered the phone. I thought you were coming over" he questioned.

"I am I just needed my best friend. Maybe we can all hang out together. How do you feel about that?".

"Yeah, of course" he kissed me again. This time we continue making out while Riley Is standing outside. I almost forgot I had to get the plan B if he found out I slept with Blaine he would break up with me. How could I go get plan B without him knowing?.

"I have to go to the store with Riley to get something. Riley and I will meet you at your apartment I promise you" I trace his shoulder. He's smiling hard I missed seeing it.

But a small part of me was missing Blaine and I hated that part of me. I walked with Riley she looked over at me like she wanted to ask me a question,"Yes Riley ask".

"Did you fall in love with him is this some kind of I fell in love with him but he didn't feel the same? She asked.

"I don't know what happened. It was like I could stay away from him no matter how hard I tried and I couldn't stay away like I wanted him, craved him with my whole being. I couldn't be separate from him even if I wanted to but things are going to change" I say confidently. I didn't know how it was going to happen but I planned to stay as far as possible from him.

"Things are going to work out I promise you. Don't chase Blaine you are with Oliver. Stay away from Blaine. Imagine what your brother's going to do to him if he finds out" she says wrapping her arm around my neck.
