Flying High

CHAPTER 15

" Hey, geek" Dylan smiled when I opened the door wearing my swimsuit, I smiled at that and I took my bag and walked outside the room with him. We took the elevator and I pushed the ground floor button. 

" So does Britt know where you are going and who you will be with?" I asked looking at his face he nodded.

" She knows I'm going to the beach with a friend" he said and I nodded, we walked outside and I put on my sunglasses and we walked next to each other.

" Where will we go?" he asked and I sighed.

" Somewhere far away from here where it's quiet and nice, I Googled this location and I saw this beach where they said it's pretty nice"

We were walking for five minutes and there wasn't a single person to be with, I looked at my feet and kept walking. I felt an arm around my shoulders making me stop and look at Dylan he smiled making me do the same.

" Caroline, why didn't we go on a date?" he asked and I sighed.

" I guess we realized we should have gone out a little too late" I said and I stopped, it looked like a cliff and I spotted some stairs so I walked towards them. it was a long way down and when my feet touched the sand I closed my eyes.

" This looks lovely" he said and I took of my shirt and walked to the water it was slightly cold but compared to how warm it was it felt like a heaven.

I swam and when I reached the surface Dylan wasn't even inside I sighed and then I swam to the shore. I got out and Dylan looked at me from head to toe making me blush a little.

" The water is nice why don't you come inside with me?" I smiled and he took his shirt off and I saw his body, I bit my lip and I looked to the ground. then he lifted me bridal style and he spun me around I had my eyes closed and I had my eyes closed tightly.

" You were right, the water is really nice baby girl" he said and I looked at him, his hands were on my face and he looked deeply in my eyes and I looked back. And I swear my heart was racing, I smiled and he did to he brought me up to him and he kissed me. It was soft full of unfulfilled desires and it was sad but it was somewhat sweet.

" Let's just swim" I smiled as I dived in and swam away from the shore.

We had gone out and I was lying on my towel whilst Dylan was running his hands up and down my body slowly sending shivers on my spine. I was sitting still for quite some time and Dylan must have thought I had fallen asleep so he stopped and instead he played with my hair.

" I swear we are made for each other but we can't see it yet, we try to convince ourselves it's just a friendship or that we have certain benefits. But I swear if I could, I would kiss you every day" he was whispering but it was loud enough for me to hear, it seriously warmed my heart.

" And just for the record I heard you that night, when you were driving me back from prom, I heard every single word but I just couldn't bring myself to kiss you and tell you that you mean the world to me, you see I was always seeing it like fooling around" he said and I bit my inner cheek so as not to smile.

" So I came to the conclusion that if someone knew us and wanted to draw us he would draw two parallel lines so close to each other that you would need to squint in order to realize they're not one. And here comes the sad conclusion that we are so close but we will never collide" by the time he finished his sentence he wasn't messing with my hair and I knew he had this sad smile on.

" It's a tragic story really, the fact the we love each other" he said and then I pretended to wake up along with a yawn.

" Ugh, I fell asleep didn't I?" I asked and he nodded with a smile.

" You know, we never really went on that road trip across the states we should though" I said as we walked back, he smiled taking his hand away from mine.

" We definitely should, baby girl" he said and I rolled my eyes.

I went to my room and Marry was texting someone but once she saw me, she put her phone down and asked me to explain everything.

" So he said he loves you and that with you he's genuinely happy but he's not willing to break up with his girlfriend" he said catching her hair in a ponytail.

" Well it sound worse when you say it, but yeah" I said lying down.

" I don't get it he doesn't really like her and, yet, he is choosing her over you" she said frowning.

" She's a lot better than me. I mean take a look at her she has perfect straight blond hair, her eyes are sky blue, she is also smoking from time to time moreover she's an actress just like Dylan so they have a common topic to talk about, they both know how things work and they won't have to spend hours explaining one sentence to each other" I said those things a little too quickly but Marry seemed to understand me.

" And take a look at me. My hips are fat, I have some extra weight that I don't need and if I sit down my thighs will expand and become the size of the European continent. My hair are half curly and brown my eyes are hazel and what am I supposed to discuss with Dylan how you make a building look better?" I said and by then I had curled into a ball and I was starring into the wall blankly.

" Alright, first of all it's not called fat hips, it's called having an ass and trust me some girls would kill for such a gift, also it's not cool when you have nothing else to talk about other than the same thing so yes it would be great if you had the chance to talk about buildings, you know how curious he gets so I can basically see him starring at you in awe as you talk about buildings. And need I mention hoe he said that he prefers brunettes over blond girls?"

 I blinked a few times before I smiled at her words. I got up and washed my face, I scrubbed it so hard as if new skin would be underneath but I stopped after a while.

" Now what?" I asked sitting next to her she smiled and I did too.

" Now you do exactly what you didn't do in college, you get over this idiot" she smiled taking my hand we went downstairs and had dinner. after that we called a cab and we went to a random club, I didn't try to look sexy or pretty I just threw some blue jeans and a shirt.

We came back and I was carrying a wasted Marry and I put her to bed, I wanted to go to sleep since my mind was shouting at me to sleep but at the same I had one of those nights where you just can't find the reason to go to sleep. And, honestly, Marry's words might have been the nicest ones I've ever heard but somehow I was feeling empty as if there was nothing in me. I felt like a big nothing. Void of emotions, one would say.

Before I knew it I was wandering the corridor searching for an elevator to go downstairs. When I finally found it I decided to go to the pool.

I sat near the pool and I checked my phone for the first time in the last 2 hours. 4:45? That can't be, we weren't gone for so long we couldn't have.

" insomniac night huh?" I heard someone say but I didn't have the energy to answer anything.

" Me too, actually my girlfriend told me to leave if I was to toss and turn all night long" he added a giggle and I smiled a little and I looked to my right but I couldn't see him clearly so I just turned my attention to the water.

" So, I might have been near you in the club you talked about a guy named Dylan, care to let me know about him?"

  " Well I've known him for as long as I can remember and he's been there for me we were the greatest of friends, we thought it'd be cool to have some benefits for example he was my first kiss" I asked and I felt his eyes fixed on mine.

" In fact he was my first in everything. But he found a girl who's better than me and today he said that he loves me but he would choose her over me any day" I said and he sighed loudly.

" Why didn't you talk to him about it?"

" He thought I was asleep when he told me "

" Well I'm going to at least lie down before the sun rises"

I decided to go back too since I had to sleep even if it was for an hour or two.
