peekaboo, I'm watching you

Chapter 26 - Pleasent thoughts

Danielle

Amy had asked me out on a date the other day and I agreed to it. Unfortunately she had to look after her little sister for the night and asked me to come round and join her, which I was slightly disappointed by as I had hoped it would be just the two of us. I was surprised she would have been interested in me in that way, but I’m not complaining on the matter, she seemed really nice and I thought I should give it a shot. After a while of watching a few Disney movies, Amy had decided to put Poppy to bed and proceeded to order us a takeaway and opened one of her parents wine bottles. The night moved along and we ended up in deep conversation and to my surprise I found myself more and more attracted to her. She seems nice, she wasn't what I expected her to be.
By the end of the night I tried to stay focus, I could tell this was her first date with a girl and I had decided to pull out the big guns and kiss her after drinking a considerable amount of wine, in which made me quite dizzy. After making this judgement, I leaned in close to her. My face tilted and brought closely to hers, our lips nearly touching. I could feel her warm breath on my lips, as she takes in a shaky breath. I gazed at her rosy lips as I whispered softly, “Are you nervous?”. Her breathing hitching up as she replied weakly, “Yes – yes I am”. Her eyes locked on to mine as I smiled mischievously, “Don’t be” I purred as gently placed my hand behind her head and pulled her close to me and kissed her. Her lips were warm and soft and for a moment we were both lost within the kiss. After a minute or two I pulled away from her and rested my forehead against hers and listened as she took in a sharp breath.

“I’m really new to this Dan” she whispers shakily.

“I know” I replied softly.

“Can we take this slow? We hardly know each other. I- I really like you, but I want to get to know you better”.

I smiled warmly at her and pulled away to look her in the eye, as I rested my hand on her cheek, “Of course we can Amy, I know you don’t know me well. I mean I’ve known the others for years but we haven’t really been introduced properly. I’ll go slow, for you I will, ok?” I assure her .
For the next few days, me and Amy have been inseparable. If we didn't see each other we would constantly ring or text one another. It seemed to be going swimmingly.
It's too fast and too much to be true really, but we'll see how our cards play out.
I had been keeping a few secrets from Amy, but it wasn't the time to tell her.. yet. So long as she can trust me for now that's all that counts in this moment of time. She can trust me, everyone has their own problems mine is just different to most people’s. After these couple of days I’ve taken a big liking towards her. I honestly really like her, but I’m afraid this will all go wrong. It always does, I think sadly to myself.

The only issue I have to face now is meeting her family next week, but hopefully it wouldn't lead to that extent yet. I'm unsure to how her father may react to me and Amy but we'll see what the dice rolls.

Quin

I sat there for a couple of hours, waiting until Michael arrives. He said he'll be here for when Mr.Macquire comes to tell me about what's going to happen with Kevin.
I laid back and closed my eyes for a while. I thought about the drugs for a while and thought about the buzz.
I haven't taken anything for a couple of days now, but whenever I did take in a new substance I start making up scenarios  in my head and find myself in strange positions later on. I-I start seeing things but I felt more alive.. more.. more free when I do take them. It makes the pain go away, but leaves me with new.. habits.
I rubbed my stomach and looked up to the ceiling. I thought I heard a cry, but decided to ignore it.
Where is he? I wondered to myself.
I needed time to think.. so I ignored everyone for a little while.
