Night had fallen quickly and I rested my head against the tiny cotton pillow among the leather beige sofa.

I couldn't stop myself from tossing and turning, expecting Bobby to come out of the darkest corners at any present moment and snatch me away, never to be seen again.

Sure those were rash and vile thoughts but after seeing I had bruises and scars from where he had grabbed me in my sleep last night it led me to believe it was not a dream at all.

I heard a door creak and my heart pounded against my chest as if an army of drums had just exploded in wild fire.

I gazed toward the only door in audible distance and shut my eyes tightly as I noticed someone standing beside it.

"Please be a dream, please be a dream." I chanted to myself, holding the side of the couch tightly.

As the dark figure started toward me I grabbed the nearest object and chucked it towards the monster.

A familiar groan sounded and Riley quickly grabbed his side moaning, "Ouch, what was that for?"

I sighed feeling more relief then I ever had in my entire life and I got to my feet and hugged him apologetically.

"Riley I am so sorry! I didn't know it was you. I thought you were Bo-"

"I'm not Bobby. He's nowhere near you. You need to stop worrying." He mumbled, pulling out of my grasp.

I frowned and followed him as he directed me toward the couch.

Sitting beside him, I crossed my legs over one another and he held up the blanket, asking if I wanted any. I shook my head, meaning no, but he still wrapped it around me.

"What are you doing?" I ask, gazing into his eyes. Noticing I am staring at this point as he smiles and looks back into mine.

"I talked to Connor. I know you guys weren't sneaking around doing that kind of stuff I walked in on.." He muttered, sounding exhausted.

"I knew he liked you. You could see it. I just never thought you felt the same way toward him."

I could sense a bit of jealousy which honestly shocked me to the point of keeping me quiet. His large amber eyes burned my face as he stared, waiting for a reply.

"I don't know how to feel about anything and anyone at this point." I whispered, feeling his face come closer to mine.

"I can help you." He silently echoed into the air, his face merely one inch away from my.

I felt sick and my head swirled telling me not to do it. To back away and tell him to stop. But my heart, my foolish heart kept me there, like a rock in the water, holding me down, forcing me to stay.

Riley hesitantly cupped my cheek and I felt repulsed, wanting to push him away. My head was screaming "NO!" "STOP!" but my heart fluttered and danced like a free bird flying on its own. Like the crash of a waterfall as it continues to fall from it's starting point.

I lightly laid my hand over his and I mumbled, "You really shouldn't do what you're about to do."

He smirked down at me, his eyes turning into slits as he did so and he cocked a brow. "Do I ever do the right thing?"

And his lips laid lightly on mine, scorching my heart with dozens of joults I had never experienced in my life. The sickness that had deceased inside my head vanished, causing the walls within me to crash and fall, allowing this boy inside to every core of myself. My head spun and my skin tingled, sending sparks within every ounce, follicle and pore of myself.

I hadn't moved my lips back.

But he stayed persistent and danced his mouth with mine, hoping for me to kiss back and I wanted to. My eyes were shut tightly and my breath was hitched in my throat.

I needed air and as I inhaled for a short second he took control and pushed me back against the couch, hovering over me, supporting his weight with his arm.

The kiss was almost unbearable and I found myself moving my lips along with his, wrapping my leg around his hip as he rubbed my cheek, arms, hips and thigh.

The kiss was nothing I had ever experienced.

Although Connor was the only person I had ever kissed in my entire life.

I felt guilt and went to pull away but Riley held me there and he lightly tangled his hands through my hair, I gasped and shut my eyes again, allowing my lips to remain in sync with his.

I felt so horrible knowing I liked this. Especially because I liked it more than Connor's kiss.

As Riley pulled away I felt breathless and my chest rose and fell as I inhaled and exhaled.

Riley looked down into my stormy eyes, still rubbing the thigh of mine that was wrapped around his waist and he bit his lip.

"This secret is safe with me." He smiled at me mischievously. And once more he kissed my swollen lips, laying with me for the rest of the night. And when I awoke I was still wrapped in his grasp.
