Chapter 16

"Okay, I must say. It's sad that I don't know the basic facts about you." Riley says.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"You know, like the basics. Favourite colour, birthday, and crap." She remarks.

"Oh, okay so we'll exchange facts then." I reply.

"Okay. So then what's your favourite colour?" She asks. I hesitate for a moment as I try to process this fact.

"Orange." I reply.

"Really? I remember in the 3rd grade, Orange was my favorite color." She says as she stuffs a slice of pizza in her mouth.

"I'm guessing your favourite colour has changed a lot?" I ask.

"No, only 2 times. My favorite color right now is blue." She says. Blue is my second favorite color, but I don't think she needs to know that.

"Cool. Okay so when is your birthday?" I ask.

"April 17th" she answers.

"Really? That's in like what... 8 days!" I ask surprised.

"Yeah I know." She says shyly. I'm kind of shocked that she didn't tell me about it.

"We have to celebrate it in some way." I say as I grab her hands that are covered in garlic from the pizza.

"No, no, please don't." She says as she attempts to slip her hands out of my grasp but I'm holding on too tight.

"Nope, I'm going to surprise you. Trust me. This will be the best birthday you've ever had." I say with excitement.

"If you say so..." She begins. "Okay, enough about me, when is your birthday?"

"February 1st." I say.

"Oh nice. That's Kurt's Birthday too." She states.

"I'm afraid of Kurt." I say. She starts laughing. She's so beautiful when she laughs.

"Hahaha, he's a bit intimidating but other than that he's alright." She smiles. I nod my head. I grab a slice of pizza and begin to chow down. Riley gets up and turns off the lights in the bedroom.

"Wait, can you throw these boxes out for me babe?" I ask before she sits down again.

"Yeah sure." She replies. I hand her the boxes and she goes downstairs to throw them out. I fix my posture and put my back against the head board of my bed. I try to put myself in a comfortable position. Riley walks back in the hops onto the bed right beside me. She puts her head on my chest as she stares down at the TV. A smile begins to appear on my face.

When I'm with Riley nothing else matters. It's seems impossible to like some one as much as I like Riley. I want to tell her how much I like her, but I don't know if she feels the same way. I know she likes me, but I don't know if she... like likes me.

I play with strands of Riley's hair. It was so silky and smooth. Her eyes were to die for. She was just so amazing.

"Riley?" I whisper. She lifts her head up off my chest and looks me in the eye.

"Yeah?" She responds. Her voice is like an angel.

"You know you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen right?" I say. She smiles at me.

"You've told me that maybe once or twice." She says.

"But, I mean it. You're all I could ever ask for in a girl." I say. She looks at me with her bright bold blue eyes. She kisses my cheek but when she pulls away, I place my hand on her cheek and kiss her deeply on the lips. I knew I was crazy about her, which is not something I'm used to. I pull away from the kiss slowly and I touch her delicate hands. They were so soft and literally perfect.

She places her head back on to my chest and starts to close her eyes. I wish I could just hold her here in my arms forever but then a small cloud hovers above my head.

A small puff releases from my nose as I begin to think to myself. What is she doing to me? She's turning me into this mushy mess of a man. If you asked me a month ago if I could ever feel this way I would deny it. It honestly scares me now that I think about it.

Yes my feelings for her were strong but when you fall for someone, there is almost always heartbreak. I've never felt that. I've normally been the one causing the heartbreak. But if I ever am on the other side of this with Riley, I don't know what's going to happen to me.

All I know is that this girl is changing me, for better and for worse.

Okay so I wanted to end the chapter there because I had some ideas for the next chapter that I'm eager to type. Sorry that this chapter was really quick and boring but I'm really trying to get to the point of the book.
