Don't Tell a Soul

"The Only Thing I Want is You"

As I get in my car, my mind races. Why would I lead Dylan on if I liked Liam? Or was I leading Liam on? I turned on the engine and started to drive. When I arrived at Dylan's house it was close to 11:30. Late enough for his parents to be sleeping. I decided not to knock so I texted him.

~I am so sorry... I got wrapped up with my mom and totally forgot. I'm here now if you'll give me another chance.~

I sighed as he had left me on read. I saw a light turn on in one of the rooms, and then a figure walks towards the window. Dylan. He stands there looking out at me. Our eyes connect for a second, but he breaks it. I text him again.

~I see u... please come out, at least let me apologize.~

~fine. coming. but don't be loud. my family is asleep.~

I laid back waiting for him to come. He opened his front door and walked down the driveway. Was it me or do sweatpants look really nice on guys? He knocked on the window and I unlocked the car. He hopped into the passenger's seat, and I sighed, "I'm sorry... it was really shitty, and I want to make it up to you."

He chuckled before saying, "Your always shitty." He chuckles before replying again. "But only because you're not used to people being nice. Of course, I'll hang with you, who wouldn't."

My immediate thought was, "Liam would." Ahhhh why does my brain have to interrupt moments. He leaned closer, making my stomach churn. "Please fucking kiss me." I thought.

"However, you're not a shitty person. What you want is different than what you get..." he slowly runs his hand down my leg, "... and that angers you."

I lean in and whisper, "The only thing I want is you." We pause for a second before he leans in a kisses me. Not rough like Liam's but slow and loving. Less hot, but more comforting. I kiss back, his lips soft on mine. Our kiss felt as though I was here, in this moment with him, a different type of kiss than Liam. With Dylan I feel safe and loved. With Liam I feel hot and horny. Dylan continues to kiss me, for minutes, hours, days. I'm not sure, all I'm sure about is it doesn't last long enough.

Finally, he pulls away and breaks the silence, "It's too late for food but the movies are open." I nod and punch in the directions. We drive away from his house, the streetlight getting further and further away. The car was cool, the seats soft. We passed a few lakes, lots of trees, some houses, and finally we arrived at the movies. The neon lights turning Dylan's face red on one side, and blue on the other. We got out of the car, and he turns to me, "Wait... what movie are we gonna watch." I paused for a second, looking towards the theater.

"I... I don't know." I say as I looked over his shoulder, towards the theater. The wind blowing my hair in my face.

"How bout... we do something more fun. I have something really fun, c'mon." He laughs and grabs my arm. He pulls me away from the car and starts to walk. My hand still in his, his hands warm and strong. "It'll be like a 15-minute walk. Is that ok?" I turn towards him and stop.

"As long as you walk with me, I'd walk forever." I spoke. He lights up when he comprehends my words, making us both smile.

"Truth or Dare." he asks.

"Truth."

"What happened with Tay... one second you were dating, the next he was behind bars. I know I asked before and you said he got caught dealing drugs, but I think there's something you're not telling me."

I lose my footing and fall. His question caught me off guard.
