We Both Like Him

Chapter 2

Riley Abrams

"Look, they just moved in" my mom said, staring at the window. "We should bring them something, don't you think?"

"Yeah, let me finish this chapter and I'll go with you" I said reading my smutty book.

"Can you go to the market for some brownies?"

"Yes mom" I said annoyed, I continued reading, and couldn't stop thinking about the kiss.

I just couldn't believe that Ryder kissed me. I know that it might just be another kiss for him. We all know that (besos de peda) don't mean anything.
But I just couldn't help playing it over and over again. The way his mouth devoured mine, the way his hands were holding my waist, the way he made me feel, it was too perfect.

I decided that it was time to go for the brownies, so I needed to get this thought out of my head

"Mom, I'll go now, do you need anything else?" I asked her.

"No, honey, be careful!"

...

I arrived at the market and went directly to the bakery section.

"Riley?" a voice asked.
I turned to look at the owner, and came across the eyes of the boy that I have been thinking about since Friday night .

"Ryder" I said with surprise in my eyes and faking a smile omg what is he doing here?! I might have started blushing.

"What are you doing here?" he said with amusement

"My mom asked me to buy some brownies for our new neighbor,".

"Really?" he said surprised "I have a new neighbor too!"

"Wow" I muttered, not knowing what else to say "Well I need to go, but see you at school."

"See ya" he said, giving me a smirk. I was about to leave when I heard him again "About friday" he said loudly "I have been thinking a lot about it"

Oh,
Well
What should I say? I think about it every time too.

"Really?" I said, trying not to sound too excited.

"Yeah," he said looking at me, but then broke eye contact. "Well I should be leaving too. It was nice to see you" and with that he left.

I paid for the brownies and started walking real fast wow what has just happened? My phone started ringing so I picked it out revealing my mom's name.

"Hi," I answered.
"Why are you taking so long? Is everything all right?" I could hear how worried she was, but it hadn't taken me that long.
"Yes mom, everything good, I couldn't find the brownies" I said heading to the car.

My mom ended up being the one giving the brownies and she told me they have a girl who is my age, she even offered I drive her to school tomorrow.

..

I rang the doorbell and went back to the car where I was waiting for her.
"Hi" I said while my neighbor was getting in the car.

She looked nice. She had blonde hair, brown eyes and a beautiful smile. I bet we won't be the best of friends but maybe friends.

"Hi!" she said excitedly "I'm Blake Holt and you?"

"I'm Riley Abrams" I said, copying her excitement. "Did you live here in Memphis or are you new in town?"

"No, I actually have lived my whole life in New York" she said with a sigh "Yesterday was my first day here. We moved because of my dad's new job"

"Oh, okay, and how is life in New York? I went just once and it was amazing" I actually love New York. I had the best time there. "Is it cool to live there? you know, because there are always tourists everywhere."

"Well, it is true there are lots of tourists, but you get used to them" Blake said as I started the way to school.

...

When we arrived at school I helped Blake check her schedule, it turns out we have a lot of classes together. Except one, the English class, and luckily for her she has Ryder in that class.

After the first two classes, we were on a break for 10 minutes. We were talking about how she did in Algebra when suddenly the smell of Dior Sauvage invaded my nostrils. OMG he looked just perfect.
