Stay With You // Conrad Fisher

Chapter 15

Warning this chapter contains drug use!!

Maggie's p.o.v.

There I was sitting on this log with Conrad while looking over at Emma and Gavin. Everyone was laughing at something and honestly I could barely focus. I don't understand why people smoke. This is not enjoyable.

"So um how long does this last?" I interrupt the group.

"Maybe two or three hours." Conrad says to me. I couldn't help but notice he then put his hand on my knee in a comforting manner. I think he could tell I was uncomfortable. It's not like anyone pressured me to do this and I have to endure it for the next two or three hours. He leaned in closer to my ear "Are you okay?" He asks me. Honestly I wanted to say I didn't know but I just nodded and smiled.

Emma and Gavin decide we should keep playing the game of never have I ever with the rest of the drinks we had.

By the end of the game I was definitely drunk but I also was pretty sure I was still high. I felt kind of spacey and I was just trying to focus on what was happening in front of me.

      Before I know it Gavin stood up and reached for Emma's hand. Emma took it and then they started walking into the woods. I knew Emma and Gavin were going at it but I didn't think they'd do it in the woods. I mean what else could they be doing in there.

        "Well they'll probably be gone a while." Conrad says looking at me.

         "Yeah probably, I knew there was something going on there." I say as I turn more towards him.

"Yeah... You sure you're okay Mags? You didn't have to smoke." He says to me with concern in his voice.

"Yeah I'm okay I just don't know if I'll be doing this again any time soon." I say as honestly as I can at this point. I feel safe around Conrad so maybe that's why I'm feeling better.

"It's definitely not for everyone." He says understanding where I'm coming from.

Before I even realize it he's using his hand to move my hair out of my face and he eventually rests his hand on my cheek moving his thumb in a comforting way. I'm just watching his arm move and just watching him at his every move over thinking what he might do next.

       He leans in his face only millimeters away from mine. I'm looking into his eyes like they're the only beautiful creation in the entire world.

       I connect our lips for a soft but quick kiss. I pull back and look back into his eyes. I can feel myself falling for him more and more even.

        "I'm really high." I say out loud. Why did I say that. "Sorry I don't know why I said that."

         "I can tell." He laughs a bit. "You'll be okay I'm here." He says grabbing my hand. I look down and see our hands together and can't help but smile.

        "I like being around you." I say to him with a smile. I would blame it on the amount of intoxicating things I've put in my body tonight but this was a completely sober thought.

       He smiles at me and kisses my cheek. He puts his arm around my shoulder and rest my head on his shoulder. We both watch the fire. I feel so content in this moment.

      After a few moments he reaches into his pocket and pulls out his phone. He puts music on and turns his phone off and puts in next to him again. The music plays for a bit before I listen to the words in the song.

What a  feeling to be  right  here
Beside you now
Holding you in my arms

       I mentioned my favorite music to him the night I went over his room to work on our project. I told him how much I love one direction and all of the solo music that came from them and he remembered.

        "You remembered." I say smiling up at him. He just looks back down at me and smiles.

But you've got stars
Their in your eyes

       Not that I'm overly  obsessed with one direction or anything but I know what they mean when they say someone has stars in their eyes. I see that with Conrad. I put my arms around him and just hold onto him.

        If I didn't like him before I definitely do now.
