When I got down stairs I was wearing dark jeans, black converse, a white tank top, black cardigan and my wild curls dropping down my back. I was dressed casual not sure where we were going, but hoping we weren't going to that party Nicole mentioned.
As I approached him he had a twinkle in his eyes and a flirtatious grin. I grinned to just happy to see that beautiful smile of his.
"Hey Mia" he said still with that grin
"Hey" I said back now presenting my little flirtatious grin.
He grabbed my waist and surprisingly I let him. Usually if a guy touched me I would slap his hand away in disgust, but that was until Robert. UGH! Why was I always comparing Devon to Robert, its not a competition really. Robert is slimy and a player that's why I distance myself from him. He cheated on me for Christ sakes! Devon on the other hand was gorgeous and masculine he had a sweet deep voice that just put you into a trance where you wanted to just....
"Mia" Devon said kind of loud, I switched my vision back to him. I zoned out again, damn ever since I met him I always did that. "Huh" I said snapping out of it. "I asked if you were okay." He replied. "Yeah just fine." I looked around the area, it looked unfamiliar. "Ummm.. Devon where are we going." I replied still uneasy. "About that" he grinned, next thing I knew my vision was covered by pitch black. "What the hell Devon!" I asked angrily, "Just chill Mia its a surprise." He said calmly. "I'm not into surprises." I said sounding grumpy. "Just follow me" He said calmly and as soon as I knew it his grip was tighter around my waist and I followed him without another complaint.
"Open your eyes" He said as he took the blind fold off from around my eyes. When I opened my eyes the view was stunning. It was sparkling crystal waters with beautiful trees I didn't know the name of surrounding it. There was a patch of white camellias as well. I instantly sat down in them, these were my favorite flowers. They represented innocence, the innocence I once had. I sighed getting caught up in my own thoughts.
"I used to come here all the time with my mother, just to get away." He said interrupting my thoughts.
"Those were her favorite flowers." He said looking at the flowers I was sitting in.
"Were what did you mean by were?" I said now thinking how rude of me for just spitting it out there
He had a slight frown that I felt a little uncertain of. "She passed away when I was eleven a few days before we were gonna go to Hawaii to celebrate my birthday and achievements in school. She never managed to make my achievements and birthday unnoticed while my dad was always busy with work. She was the only one who understood." I stood shell shocked as I listened to every single word he said. It pained me to hear that as I tried to say something.
"My mother died to." I said not thinking, that's the only thing I could say.
"I mean you had a strong relationship with your mom, but mine died giving birth to me so I never really got to grow a relationship with her, but I know shes always looking out for me." I said looking down.
"I feel as if your the only one who knows how I feel, everyone usually just says sorry for your loss and all that bullshit, but you're different you didn't utter it once and I know we had the same connection to our mothers even if I had more time with mine." He said now sitting on the patch with me.
"Even though you lost your mother you have your father and I know beneath his icy exterior that he always shows on TV and stuff he cares about you, my father probably never did care about me." I said staring at a particular flower.
"Mia" He said, I looked up into his eyes than quickly broke the gaze and stared down at the patch
"Look at me Mia" he said a little sternly and I instantly looked up at him holding our gaze. "You keep to yourself alot, why? Why don't you let it all out and speak to someone about it? Its okay to be a little dependent sometimes." His eyes showed seriousness and concern, but for some reason only anger rose up in me.
"Why? Why would I trust? All the people in my life who were suppose to be there are gone! My mom died without me even knowing her, my dad was an alcoholic who did nothing but drink every night and try to strike at me before something pushed my grandparents over the edge and they kicked him out! I was basically an orphan and all I'm left with is my grandparents who don't even trust me, a aunt who doesn't either, a cousin and my best friend who's leaving and in the end its only me!" I screamed at him with tears now streaming down my face.
"Shhh" Is all I could hear him say as his arms were over my shoulder cuddling and cradling me. "In the end it's only me" I said quietly as I burst into tears with my head now rested on his chest
We stayed like this for what felt like forever, but shockingly I didn't want it to stop I wanted to remain in his arms as long as possible.
When I looked up at his eyes I could see that beautiful glint and comfort till he leaned down and kissed me. It was passionate and his lips were soft yet firm. I soon found myself kissing back as our lips moved in sync and I wrapped my arms around his neck while we just stayed like this.
He soon broke the kiss and sighed, as he stared down at his watch, "Its midnight" he said still with a sigh. I frowned, "I can't go home my grandparents will definitely know I snook out by now." "We can go to my place" He said with a smile. I hesitated, I really didn't have another choice and right now I felt so weak and he was the only thing keeping me to move on at the moment.
When we entered his condo we were silent, he led me to his room and he told me to sit on the bed. I looked around the room, it was crazy, it was definitely a guys room but it was kept neat; sure he had his share of clothes all around the room but his team jersey saying 'Lakers' was hung up on the wall with a bunch of awards he got, pictures of girls that you see in a magazine but the bed was neat and it seemed as if everything was in place. When he came back he held out one of his shirts for me. "You can wear this" he said. I took it, about to take off my shirt when I stared at him indicating a 'i-need-to-change' look. Oh was all he said before he left the room. I stripped out of my jeans, tank top, and cardigan, kicking off my converse as I put the shirt on that reached my mid-thigh.
When he entered the room before seeing if I was decent I was relieved to know in fact I was.
He looked me in the eye and I got a little suspicious as to what he was thinking, "You really are beautiful Mia" he said. I blushed looking away sort of embarrassed. He pecked me on my lips before grabbing my hand and leading me.
"Where are you taking me" I said laughing a bit at his persistent tugging
"In bed with me" He said with a smile on his face.
