Life

Chapter 1

I feel awkward. Why is it that I have to give him advice of all people? The irony of us both having flower names and him saying her name fast like that got me thinking. Is there really a girl he knows that is named Rose?

I don't know most of Hunter's friends. I never had many friends anyway. I push the thoughts towards the back  of my mind and focus. 

"I was wondering if you can come with me and do a little looking around at the dump tomorrow?" Hunter showing off his dimples that I can't stand yet more attractive to his smile. He is so attractive. I just wonder why he asked me to go to the mall with him. He hates that place.

"Hm, I have to look at my calender. Maybe I can squeeze you in." I tease like he did with me.

Hunter gets up and and takes me down. He grabs me by the waist and he tickles me. I hate my laugh and he knows that very well yet he continues to tickle me. Why do I keep thinking that he....nah. It's not real. We are just friends and he probably doesn't see me that way either plus I don't wanna make this awkward for us.

"Thanks." his smile. I wanna kiss his plump pink lips so much. I caress his cheek and my body moves on its own. I happen to hug him instead of kiss him. Thank Jesus, but I really wanted to. Juts the thought of him liking someone else already hurts a little. At least he came to me and told me about it. He really seems to like this girl than I thought to already buy her something from the mall. Hunter climbs off of me and helps me up. 

"I got to go. I'll be back soon." he stutters and runs off before I can say anything. I wonder if he is OK. Did I already make it awkward but putting my hand against his cheek?! I groan. Great going, Christina.

I bang my head against the pole to my bed. Hunter must think I'm weird or something. I don't what possessed me to do this but I text him and he replies fast. 

"Sorry. I didn't mean to run out like that. I just forgot to do something earlier. I'll come by again tonight."

I reply saying that it was alright and that I will be waiting for him. I feel myself dozing off and it's only 3 in the afternoon. A dream appears and it's Hunter cuddling me in bed. He shifts and the next thing I know, he is on top of me and he slowly creeps in. His lips are planted on mine and I wake up hitting both our heads.

"What are you doing here?" my head hurts so much from bumping it against his.

"I told you I was coming by again. I wanted to ask you if I can spend the night here with you?" he asks rubbing his head. "Ah, I mean, not with you in bed. I'm saying here in the house with you. I..You know what I mean!" he cheeks flush and he turns his head.

I can't help but laugh at his stupidity and nod. "Hunter, I got what you meant. It's fine. You can stay here as long as you want." I giggle.

A smile appears and I get up from the bed. Fingers wrap around my wrist. I'm pulled down and im against his chest. Warmth and maybe a little comfort wraps around me.

"I have always wondered this."

"Huh?"

"Do you ever get lonely here? You know, by yourself?"

I nod. I thought about getting a cat or maybe a dog but I felt like that wouldn't make a difference.

"Sorry." he lets go and I leave the room to make us something to eat.

"It's alright. Do you wanna have something to eat with me?"

"Sure."

I begin to cook and notice this tall figure leaning over me and his cheek brushes against me like a kitty wanting attention. I pet him and say how good of a kitty he is and Hunter shows my a sly grin on his face. I feel myself feel a little warm but that could just be from the cooking.
