Him OR Him

Family bench

After my medicine classes are over*

I'm on the couch chilling. Sally is out probably with Kelly. Suddenly my phone buzzes

Unknown number: Hey
Probably Henry
Me: hey
Unknown number: it's Henry
Henry: Meet me at the reception?
Me :Heck ya

I put my phone in my sweat pants and head for the reception.
I see him there waiting . I walk up to him and he hugs me . That was unexpected

"Let's get out of here" he leads me outside then into a jeep , white in colour. We were allowed off campus grounds after classes.

I couldn't help but stare at him driving. He was still hot. He got a feeling I was staring at him and looked straight at me.

I looked away instantly. He then started a conversation asking my favourite colour, my favourite food, my idol, about my family and all that.

We finally reached our destination. Oh hell was it beautiful.

He led me to one of the benches and we sat down. An awkward silence followed till he offered to buy me ice cream and I agreed.

I got chocolate chip and him vanilla. He begins" Riley this bench is very special to me , my dad was once of middle status so we would come to this park and just talk as a family. It was so cool. But now his too busy for us . It's saddening sometimes .

Wow I wasn't expecting  that at all. I thought rich guys had everything.  Guess I was wrong. Very wrong

I look up at him . His eyes are glassy . I don't no what to say or do . I like him and him to open up to me like this is special.

"Am sorry," I comfort him

He turns so that he is facing me . Our eyes lock I explore his eyes as he does mine . I can hear my heart pounding.

He moves closer ,so that there is only an inch away from me , just then a bird flies between us causing us to blink and cut off the moment.

Well wasn't that awkward.

I just say that I'll always be here for him. Always.

We walk back to the car and head for the university. It's been 1 hour and the cold had set in . I was shivering ,and I had turned pale . Before he started the engine he gave me his hoodie .

He then starts driving . He invited me to a party on Saturday on the rooftop of the university and he promised to pick me up .

We arrive at the university. After a drive with awkward  silence.  He pecks me on the cheek and leaves. OK that's one way to say a goodbye. Isn't it?

"Henry , Wait here's your hoodie am good now and thanks for everything, " I say trying hard not to stutter.

"You could've kept it but it's okay. Bye." He says with a disappointed look on his face and walks away.

I didn't mean it that way , ok I don't give a fuck . If he's chill he'll come pick me up on Saturday if he's not I'll have to check my feelings.
