"Where are we going Dallas?" I asked him. He was driving a long time. It has been two months since the little spotlight moment I had when Pen used one of his five chances. I don't know. He's acting different. A good different. Not like the guy he used to be.
Stop you can't think that he's still bad news.
My head argrued. I know I'm supposed to trust my head before anything else. But I thought that it was completely wrong. People can change. And Pen might have been the one who would do it for me. He might actually care.
"I can't tell you." Dallas replied simply with that huge smirk on his face.
"You should know something very important." I informed him. He glanced at me taking his eyes off the road for a second. He looked intrigued.
"Yeah? And what's that?" He urged me to go on. Dallas seemed very curious so I decided to take advantage of the fact that he couldn't wait.
"Oh nothing." I replied with a smirk of my own.
"C'mon kisses! Tell me something!" He whined.
"Only if you tell me where your taking me." I debated. He's seriously going to kill me if he tells me and I tell him this stupid answer.
"No! I'm not allowed! And you are not going to make me do no such thing!" He said in a very childish manner pouting like a three year old.
"Fine." I threw my hands up in defeat. "All I was going to say was that I hate surprises." I continued. He face dropped in complete and utter shock.
"You made me go through all of that. Just so you could say three measily words. 'I hate surprises' i can't believe you." He said finally closing his mouth. But he re-opened it when his car came to a halt. We were in my driveway. Did I mention today was my birthday. Yeah. So when we were parked in the driveway I couldn't believe my eyes.
There was a video projected onto my garage door that had a slideshow of pictures. All if them was with Pen and I. When we first met. Our first date. His first birthday spent with me and mine spent with him. It was beautiful. My family was standing outside on my porch when the video stopped. I stared at the garage door.
Then it started to open. There was no doubt in my mind that Pen was going to walk through the garage door. And when it was open he stood there. Smiling at me with white roses. My favorite! He started to walk forward heading towards me. The smile that appeared on my face during that slideshow projection never left my face. And it became even bigger when I saw Pen. When he arrived in front of me he only had one question.
"Riley Stone. Would you go on a date with me?" He questioned with complete hope in his beautiful piercing blue eyes.
"Of course!" I replied. And he sighed in relief. We hugged. And I whispered to him.
"Thanks for the best birthday gift ever."
"Your welcome. I love you." He said. Wait I love you. Why does he keep saying that? Maybe now is the time to say it back.
"I love you too, Pen." I said as I pulled away to look in his eyes. I know everyone heard because they were staring at me with 'aww' flying all over the place. Even Pen was shocked that I said it back.
"You what?" He questioned. Yep! He was completely shocked.
I smiled. "I love you too Pen." He smiled and picked me up off of the ground bearing me into a tight hug.
"You don't know how long! How long I've wanted you to say that!" He said with a huge genuine smile spread across his face.
"Good! Because I've waited too long to say it." I smiled back.
"Goodnight kisses." Dallas said while walking away.
"Wait! Dallas!" I said running After him.
"What." He said coldly.
"What's wrong?" I asked concerned.
"What's the matter with you!" He whisper yelled."Are you fucking stupid!" He continued.
"Excuse me!" I said. I was shocked why was he being such a dick right now.
"How could you lie. How could you act like nothing has happened. How could you say that to him. I mean him! Not me! But him! He doesn't deserve you Riley! I do! Can't you see it! I want you! But he has you!" He replied angrily.
"What the Fuck Dallas! I don't belong to anyone! I'm my own fucking person! And you know what?! I-i-i just can't deal with this right now. I got to go." I said walking towards Pen.
"I'm sorry Pen. I can't. I don't know. I'm just unsure about everything and about everyone. I have to think." I know there was a lot of hurt in his eyes. And it killed me. But I don't know who I like. Or who I loved. I had to have some time to think.
I pushed passed him walking inside of my house. I ran up the stairs slammed my door and locked it. Then I let the tears fall freely down my face. What did he mean I lied? What in the world do I do? Why does my life have to be so complicated? What did I do wrong? All those questions popped into my head and I started to think.
"Oh my gosh! I love Dallas!"
But what about Pen. I know he spent all four months. Waiting and thinking and planning. I know he loves me. But who do I choose. I know I love Dallas. But I know if I tell him that I don't really love him he'll break. Or do I really love him? I love them both? But how? Which one?
