One step at a time

Melissa Newman

I was sitting down minding my own business when Blake walked in rudely might I add. He shoved me over his left shoulder and walked me out the door. He could have just asked me to come with him I would have willingly but no he decided he was going to take me by force. We were bouncing down the stairs when Lee walked past and laughed at me. "Your not gonna help? I'm being kidnapped here and you're just gonna stand there and laugh at me?" Lee just shook his head and continued up the stairs. Nobody cared for the fact that I was being held against my will. "hey Hunny" Mum said as we walked into the kitchen I thought this was our stop but no. "Sorry mum but were just passing through" Blake said as we walked out of the kitchen and through the front door where all our friends were sitting. "Go mami" Megan yelled from across the yard. Casey smirked and Tony cat whistled. Jamie just smiled at me but in the end nobody wanted to help me. I didn't blame them I knew Blake wouldn't hurt me it was just the fact that he stole me when all I wanted to do was have one peaceful day to myself before I had to say goodbye to Jamie tomorrow.

Martin and Lee walked out of the house hand in hand. Martin was blushing while Lee was acting like what they were doing didn't affect him which we all knew was a lie, Lee was new to all this he had no idea what he was doing but he was putting up a front. A façade that only I could see through yet he thought I couldn't. How couldn't I? I've done the same thing only difference is nobody noticed when it came to me. Nobody cared. Blake shoved me into his car before anyone could say anything else. "Where are we going babe?" I asked curiously. He didn't say anything. Did he even hear me? So I did the only thing any sane person would do. I asked again louder this time and when he didn't answer yet again was when I concluded that he was ignoring me how dare he.

I decided that if he wanted to play that game I would too. I was being petty that I knew I was, Thankfully Noah decided that today he would leave me alone apparently him and Angie had some stuff to do okay we all know what they needed to do. It wasn't really a need more of a want if you get where I'm going. We stopped at a clearing where a batch stood. Blake looked over at me but I refused to look at him. I refused to even acknowledge him. "I thought it was about time we had some time alone and I never really took you out on that date, You ran away before it could end" Blake looked at me yet he was blushing. I smiled at him then jumped into his arms. "I love you" I whispered not wanting to let go.

Blake walked us into the batch and set me down in the dining room. "This belonged to my grandfather who left it in my name when he died, I've never used it but I thought this time would be better than any" Blake smiled at me once he finished. "It's beautiful Blake" It truly was, This place had been carefully built and planned, There was a stone fireplace, Oak table and chairs the place had a woodsy feeling. "There's two bedrooms I didn't know If you were ready to sleep in the same bed as me yet so I come earlier and set the second bedroom up for you" I looked at him weirdly. "Blake we used to sleep in the same bed all the time before I left what makes you think now would be any different" It confused me sometimes how he thinks.

"We're a couple now it's different" He shrugged his shoulders while I rolled my eyes. "I'm sleeping next to you whether you like it or not". Blake picked me up and took me out the back where a swimming pool lay. I jumped up with excitement and jumped straight in not caring if these were the only clothes I had. "You just couldn't wait could you?" Blake was shaking his head. I don't know how he could think that wasn't what I would do does he even know me?. "Are you just gonna stand there or are you gonna come in?" Blake took off his shirt and jumped in causing a big splash. That's how the rest of our day went. Swimming and kissing in the pool surrounded only by us. We were stuck in the moment we didn't care for anything else but each other.

The car was deadly silent. Nobody saying anything you could cut the tension with a plastic spoon. I didn't see what the big deal was we had sex that was it. Its not like it was a one night stand we are in a relationship so why was Blake acting the way he was? After we did the deed I asked him how he was feeling and his response was "I don't want to talk about it just go to sleep" I ended up sleeping in the room he set up for me because well after that I couldn't face him I must have done something wrong?

Blake dropped me off at my doorstep and left as fast as he could. Maybe it was a mistake to him, Maybe he just wasn't physically attracted to me. I had all these thoughts running through my head. "When did you get home?" Lee asked as he walked out of the door. I didn't know how long I was sat out here. It felt like just seconds ago but then again the sun was going down so I wasn't all too sure. So I shrugged my shoulders. "What's wrong Lissa?" Lee asked as he sat down next to me. "Can you give Jamie my goodbye I just need to be alone right now" I was seconds away from tears so instead of waiting for his answer I ran up to my room and locked myself in there.
