Don't Forget About Me

Chapter 3

Walking out of my last class, I consider not going to meet up with Os. Feeling like I don't know anything about him but somehow I feel extremely safe with him. It's the oddest feeling that I have ever had before, like I have a protector. This is ridiculous. I don't even know him. Shaking my head, I start to head for the main building again. It's a little after four, so maybe he didn't want to wait and left. 

That would be great because then I could leave and not feel that bad about it. As I get closer I look around and don't see him. I go towards the steps of the building and go to look down at my phone and instantly run right into something solid. When my phone goes to fall down, I see fast reflexes of a strong hand grab it right before it hits the ground. When I look up, I see these lost stormy blue eyes. “Maybe we should stop meeting like this.” 

I let out a small laugh. “Maybe you should stop getting in my way as I am walking.” He half smirks at my smart mouth. I still don't know why I feel so comfortable talking to him this way. “Where did you come from? I swear I looked around and did not see you.” I say looking at him with a curious glare.

"I was just over there by that tree and when I saw you I ran over so you didn't run off thinking that I didn't show up.” 

As we stood there for what seemed like forever, all I could do was shake my head. “What do you want to do now that you have me here?” I asked because this is not something that I have ever done before. 

“I was thinking that we could go for a drive, I want to show you something.” I hesitate for a second because this just screams horror flick because what girl goes with a guy who says he wants to show her something. 

Chuckling to myself I shake my head again. “You're funny if you think that I am going to just go with you to some unknown location, for all I know you could be kidnapping me or something.” 

Smiling, he looks right at me and holds his hand out. “You don't trust me?” Something in me says that I can trust him but something else says just beware. 

“Fine  but know that I have pepper spray and I know how to use it.” 

He lets out a soft laugh. “Promise I am the least of your worries.” Then I take his hand and he leads me to a car. Definitely looks expensive, especially since it was an Audi. Like, what the hell does this guy want with me? Driving a car like that he could have any girl. He walked me around to the passenger door and then opened it. I guess chivalry isn't dead.  

“Thanks,” I say almost in a question. He just nods. He walks around to the driver side and gets in and starts the car. 

Right as I am buckling my seat belt, I look up and I notice that he is studying me. He is really hot, not like that cheesy boy next door way but like a top model hot. As I realize that I am staring too long I go to turn away before he grabs my chin. When he slowly turns my face back to his attention I feel like I am burning up from his touch. He just keeps looking at me as if he wants to do something and I am praying that something is not kiss me because I have never done that and am positive I am probably horrible at it. “You don't realize how beautiful you are, do you?” 

I have no words to answer that question because I know that I am not horrible to look at but I would never consider myself beautiful. “Uh. Thanks?” He lets go of my chin then puts the car in drive.  “Are you not going to put on your seat belt?” He turns and looks at me with that damn half smile again. 

“No, I'll be fine, are you ready for our adventure, Kelsey?” 

My name again, I don't think I have ever heard my name so much in one day. “Yea, sure.”

As we are driving, I notice I have no idea where we are going. After moving out here for college three years ago, I realized just now I didn't really get out that much. I see some mountains coming into view and they are breathtaking. The way that the tips of the mountains are kissing the clouds is amazing, almost like a picture out of a magazine. Os turns off on a side road and I notice that the regular road suddenly turns to gravel and then a short time later turns to a dirt road. 

Now I am really getting psycho vibes. “Umm do you know where you are going because it seems like we lost the road about two miles back?” 

He chuckles and turns to me, “Just sit back and relax babe, trust me.” Then he reached over and started to rub my leg. There are the weird butterflies again. Wait, did he just call me babe? It sounded so casual for him, does he do this alot with girls? 

Chill out Kelsey, I tell myself before I have a panic attack. What am I kidding myself, in any other circumstance I would have already had a panic attack and right now I actually feel pretty calm. Just watching out the window, I try to sit back and relax. Watching as nature keeps passing us by, I could almost take a nap. 

Then I take one look at Os and he seems like he's just in his element but he also seems like he has so much on his mind. At that thought I look back outside and see the mountains again, how wonderful would it be to be up there away from the crazy down here. Maybe one day that could be me.
