Dream girl

Ian

Renna seemed disappointed when I broke our kiss, but she nodded when I told her to call it a night. I hopped on my bike and looked at her. "I hope you didn't regret it."

Renna sighed and kissed my cheek. "See you tomorrow, Ian."

When I came back home, a barrage of questions started to pop up in my mind and I couldn't sleep the whole night. I witnessed the sunrise and decided to leave the bed. I checked it was the time when Renna came to the park for a run. I immediately headed to it.

Renna was nowhere to be found I didn't wait for her and headed to her hotel. I dialed her number, and she was sleeping, I sensed from her groggy voice. I asked. "Any plans to run?"

Renna sighed. "Yes, I am coming to park but if you are getting late for anything..."

I didn't let her complete. "I am standing right in front of your hotel."

Renna's tone changed from drowsy to shocked. "Alright, I am coming in 10 minutes."

I started pacing while waiting for her. When my eyes fell on her, I prepared myself for every possible reaction. I waved at her and she walked up to me. I was standing still, waiting for her to say something. There was an awkward silence between us. She always initiated conversation but today she is looking at me. Renna narrowed her eyes. "What happened?"

I started stammering. "Nnothingg."

Renna crossed her arms against her chest. "Ian I am not going to move an inch until you tell me what is wrong with you."

I shook my head and sighed. "I am afraid if you are planning to cut ties with me."

Renna squinted. "Why, why would I do that?"

I squared my shoulders. "Because you told me about your issues with guys who try to come close to you and..."

Renna didn't let me complete and she raised her hands. "Stop; I have no intention to cut ties with you. Now can we go for running?"

I wanted to apologize for bringing her past but she started running and I had no option but to follow her. After running, Renna and I were sitting on a park bench. I wanted to ask the reason why she never lets any guy come close to her but I also know its not an easy topic to talk about for her.

Renna looked at me. "Would you help me find an economical house to live in?"

I was taken aback for a while because I didn't see that coming. She thought I was waiting for her to explain. Renna added. "I can't afford this hotel with my two tiny jobs."

I shook my head. "Of course, yeah, I will help you; in fact, you can find it by yourself in these apps."

I showed her a few real-state apps. She looked through the houses, then shook her head. "These rents are too high."

I looked into her eyes. "What do you do for living, Renna?"

Renna shot up her shoulders. "You know about my both jobs."

I shook my head. "No, I meant what do you do for your soul. I am sure billing and bartending are not your passion in life."

Renna leaned back. "I write for myself and for a firm as well."

I couldn't restrain myself from asking her. "What are you running from?"

Renna looked at me. "What do you mean?"

I cleared my throat. "You are doing three jobs in a day; you moved to a new city carrying baggage of your past. Your family doesn't know about it so of course you are hiding or running away from something or someone."

Renna shook her head. "I am not running away from anything. For the first time in life, I am doing something with sincerity and I am happy about it."

I pointed at her. "You are draining yourself and nothing else."

Renna smiled but I saw pain in her curved up lips. "I have wasted 25 years of my life being non-serious, so now I don't want to waste a single moment of my life."

I cupped her face. "I wish I could meet someday a non-serious Renna."

I saw moisture in her eyes. "Trust me, don't ever wish this again."

I couldn't stop myself from kissing her. I heard her gasp when my lips touched her lips. Renna didnt hesitate to open her lips for me. I slipped my tongue down her throat. Renna was also showing her willingness to kiss me back. Her interest encouraged me, and I kept nibbling her lips. Every cell in my body wanted to pin her right on this bench and worship her body.

When I sensed the jogs around us, I slowly broke the kiss. Renna leaned back and rested her head on my shoulder. "Can we sit here for a few more minutes?"

I nodded. "Of course, as you wish."

I added. "Oh, I forgot to tell you that tomorrow I am going to meet my family in case I come back late so we'll meet the next day."

Renna immediately asked. "What about morning?"

I kissed her forehead. "If you want, we can meet."

Renna stood up and held out her hand. "Try not to go without meeting me."

I smiled and held her hand.
