Ravishing

Chapter 9

We arrived safely near my house, thanks to my skilled driving.

"Okay Kelly I don't want to stop in front of my house and cause any attention to myself and the truck, please take the wheel and know I love you." I whispered. I didn't want the boys to hear me, because this would be a sad goodbye.

I tend to avoid sad situations.

I eased to a stop and allowed kelly to take the wheel.

We just waved to each other, as she placed the ruck into drive and left. I then turned and faced my house, the only part that was lit was the living room.

shit.

I checked my pockets and couldn't find my keys. fuck. you've got to be kidding me.

I turned to see if Kelly might still luckily be there, but the street was empty.

Just my luck.

Okay, I can't freak out. I can figure this out.

I slowly made my way below my window where a wall of flowers hugged the wall.

I always wondered if I could climb it, I guess now is a better time than ever to find out. I reached for the nearest branch and pulled myself up.

the branch crackled beneath my weight, but didn't snap. I exhaled the breath I didn't realize I was holding on to. Pulling myself further up.

Why did I ever pass up a gym membership, I was about halfway up toward my bedroom window, when my noodle arms started to strain.

no, no. Don't you dare give up on me now, We've come so far.

I used every bit of strength in my fragile gym skipping body, to slide the window open and pull myself inside.

I landed with a big thump on my ass. Landing on a clothes hanger laying on my floor.

Ouch. I intook a sharp breath of air, feeling a stinging sensation.

"Sweetheart is that you?" a familiar inquisitive voice asked.

Oh shit, she was home. Does she know I wasn't here?

"Yeah mom, I just woke up from a nap, I slipped on a sock", I cautiously yelled.

Oh the shirt I am wearing, shit I have the hotel logo on it.

I quickly took off the uniform shirt and placed a white v-neck t-shirt that hugged my waist.

I then headed downstairs.

"Hi mom, I missed you" I said before taking my mom into a warm embrace.

"I was only gone for a while, but I missed you too. Did you finish your work?" she asked

What?

"Mom, how'd-"

"Mother's intuition darling, don't underestimate me, and you didn't look too sick" She said with a quirky smile.

"Well, yes I did, I was actually just coming downstairs to say hello, but I am going upstairs to work on it, bye" I said before giving her a kiss on the forehead and heading upstairs.

*2 hours later*

I stretched my back in my seat.

Geez, it feels like It took me forever.

Mr. Gatsby is my date tonight, and he was very complient.

My book report was coming along great.

It was hard to focus whenm everything reminded me of the boys.

I should've said goodbye, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

I opened my book. Fitzgerald please distract me.

I opened the page to the page where Gatsby stared at Daisy's greenlight at the end of the harbor.

Fuck. Really Fitzgerald? I am done. Gatsby's hope, the greenlight is my hope. My reminder of the boys.

...I finished my concluding paragraph. Shutting my laptop in satisfaction I stood up and full-on stretched on my tippy toes.

I checked my phone, I had no messages from Kelly so I decided to text her.

*Kelly! Babe, How are you? Miss you already*

Now I just had to wait, so I quickly checked twitter, but the boys hadn't posted anything.

I tossed the phone on my bed and sat on the hardwood floor.

My back was aching so I layed on my back, listening to every bone in my back crak.

I swear I am aging by the second.

I closed my eyes reminiscing of the day I've had.

Never in a million years did I expect this to happen to me.

I felt myself slowly slipping from consciousness, but I didn't fight it.

When I opened my eyes in the morning, the sun was covering my white bed sheets causing a reflecting light on my ceiling.

I peered outside my window, and the sky was blue, filled with white clouds that barely skimmed the blue color of the sky.

Luke's eyes.

The thought of Luke made my stomach flutter and reminded me of the proximity I enocuntered with him last night, causing me to place my fingers over my lips.

I wonder what they did once they left. Kelly.

Kelly!

I rushed to my feet and searched for my phone.

Where did I leave it?

My bed!

I turned on my phone to reveal many twitter notifications, from the boys tweeting. I recognize these kind of tweets, omg. They were drunk last night?

I skimmed through pictures finding Kelly with the boys, she was also known as the mystery woman. Telling by her gaze, I can tell she had a few drinks too. Here I was working on my homework.

That explains why she didn't respond. If I call her she will hate me, I'll let her rest and wait until midday to call her.

Looking at the time I realized it was only 9am. Great. The weekend and I'm awing up before 12, this is some sort of miracle.

I showered and prepared myself some oatmeal. Once I finished eating breakfast I reached for my phone to see it was only 11. I rolled my eyes at how slow time passed.

"Mom I'm going to go downtown for some coffee, be back in a bit" I yelled before realizing I didn't have keys to get back home. Fuck. I hope she's still home, if not I might actually gain some strength from climbing to my window everyday.

I took the bus downtown and headed for my favorite coffee shop, Tierra Mia.

I sat outside and stated at the passing traffic debating whether or not I should actually call Kelly. The things with the boys was a one time thing, and I get it, they hang out with girls all the time, but Kelly got to party with them.

Kelly lived the dream last night, and it won't be able to see them again. I'm just happy I got to spend some time with them one on one, they are amazing boys. I hope Luke won't forget me as I know I won't forget him.
