Running From Love.

Chapter 7: Lost

Chapter 7: Lost

Pov: Riley

I touched my lips. They still burned where his lips had been. It was just like him to kiss me and run away. I plopped down on my bed. I just noticed I was breathing hard. Did he really mean it when he said I didn’t disgust him? I don’t know how to take his words. He is so confusing. One second he is yelling at me, and the next he is asking me to dinner and kissing me. I wasn’t going to just give into him so easily! Even though my heart was screaming at me to go to him kiss him tell him how I feel. I couldn’t trust him, what if I was vulnerable, told him how I felt and he rejected me again! I couldn’t stand it! I had to shake the feelings for him completely we were not meant to be together. All we do is fight! I knew that part of me would never lose the feelings I felt for him. How is it even possible to feel this way toward someone who was suppose to kill me. I sighed. I wish I could talk to my dad. He would be able to tell me what to do. I heard a tap at the door.

“Come in.” I said.

“It’s me.” Ben said opening the door.

I smiled.

He smiled back.

“How you feeling?” He asked.

I smiled and nodded.

“You were right, a shower and a date with you was the cure.” I said teasing.

I honestly wasn’t that interested in dating him. He was sweet and gentle; the complete opposite of Carson. Plus if it gave me a chance to rub it in Carson’s face and make him jealous then that was okay too. I was hoping it would take my mind of Carson. No amount of dates could do that! He would always be there in the back of my mind.

“I was wondering if you’d like to take a walk with me?” Ben asked bring me out of my own thoughts.

I thought for a moment.

“Can you give me a moment to get dressed?” I asked.

He smiled and nodded.

“I’ll wait for you down stairs.” He said walking out of the room.

I hoped that Carson was okay.

POV: Carson.

I was angry. I was angry at myself for letting Ben get to her first. I was mad at Ben for going after her. How could he do such a thing. We were only here half a day and he was chasing her like she was just some girl. But she wasn’t. She was so beautiful. I could picture the way her hair shined in the sun. I touched my lips. My heart ached because I knew she would probably never love me. I couldn’t take just the thought of her leaving me. I really tried to keep my distance from her! I tried to keep my feelings on a leash. I couldn’t, I had to have her. She was what I needed. I needed to at least convince her that my feelings were true. I heard someone walk down stairs. I sniffed the air it was Ben. I felt the anger rise again, I was going to kill him. My heart started pounding against my rib cage as I ran out of the woods toward the house. I was there with in a few seconds. I ran inside the house.

He was seated on the couch, looking comfortable. He smiled at me.

“Hey Carson.” He said.

I glared at him.

“What were you thinking!” I almost yelled.

“What do you mean?” He asked. Obviously playing dumb.

“I mean what you were thinking asking Riley out on a date with you!?” I said raising my voice even higher.

He laughed.
