Jumping Bases ((EDITING))

Chapter 16

"Kristen?" i heard from behind me. 

i turned around and saw him. 

"can i sit?" he politely said. 

"sure" i smiled. 

"what are you doing here alone?" he tenderly asked. 

"just .. thinking" i replied, not wanting to give alot of information. 

"Ohhh" he nodded. 

"how bout you, why are you here?" I asked. 

"just wanted to chill a bit before the party" he replied "you comin right?" 

"Yeah, definatley" i smiled. 

"oh alright" he chuckled "should i let you think a bit more or should i stay?" He smiled. 

"You could stay if you want" i giggled "i was just about to leave and start getting ready" 

"Okay" he stood up and so did i. 

"See you later" i smiled. 

He winked and i walked away. Being interrupted from my thoughts, i had less time to pick who i really liked. Jake or Ryan. i had so much to think about and so little time.

i walked to my car and sat down. i turned the radio on and started blasting music. 

as i walked into my apartment, i threw the keys onto the table and went straight to the room to change. i picked out a white and navy blue sleeveless collar Abercrombie top with white short shorts. my phone began to sing and i walked over to the bed. 

Ryan; still going to the party with me right? (; imma pick you up in 10 minutes 

i walked back to my closet. i took my navy blue converse. i ran my fingers through the long dark waves that cascaded passed my back. i grabbed a hair tie and put it on my wrist. that's when i saw ryan's bracelet was still there. i smiled and walked into the bedroom. i lotioned my newly shaved legs ang slid my shoes on. after finishing, i walked into the bathroom and put on the usual natural makeup and mascara. my eyes looked bluer than usual. to be honest, my eyes are the only thing that i actually like about my body .. if that counts as a body part. I'm not one of those girls who is super insecure but there are things i would change about my body. anyways .. as soon as i walked out of the bathroom, i heard someone knocking on the door. i grabbed my phone and strolled towards the door.  

i opened it and say Ryan standing infront of me with his hands in his pockets. he was wearing a plain white polo shirt with beige Jet Lag cargos. his hair was under a navy blue Yankees baseball cap which was on backwards. it seemed like he didn't even try but yet he looked so good. 

"ready?" he smiled his white straight teeth at me. 

"yeah" i smiled. apparently he didn't notice me checking him out .. i hope he didn't .. 

we walked to the elevator. i leaned over him and pressed the down button. we walked into the elevator and he pressed lobby. 

"you seem awfully quiet today" i smiled as i leaned my head against the wall behind me. 

"yeah" he chuckled. 

"whats up?" i asked. 

"nothing .. just thinking" he sighed. 

"bout what?" i asked. 

he just smiled. 

"what? you could tell me" i giggled. 

"i know i could tell you" he smiled. 

the door opened and he waited for me to pass before him "maybe later" he replied.
