The bad boy I know

Chapter 16: Sharing Secrets

I groaned as I felt the ground shake. "What the hell?" I moaned and groaned. I was half awake when I notice the whole car shaking. I jolted in my seat and hit my head against something cold and hard.

I despise windows sometimes. I rubbed my head. I looked around to find Parker leaning against the car door outside, smoking.

I've never even seen him smoke before. I got out of the car and walked to him until I was in front of him. He blew a puff of smoke in my face and muttered an apology.

"Why are you smoking? And where are we?" I gestured my hand out in front of us. The woods. At the same time I can smell something so familiar to me.

He dropped the cigarette on the ground and took it out with his foot. "Let's go." He grabbed my arm and dragged me towards the woods. As soon as we were I front of it, I stopped dead in my tracks.

"You're not going to kill me, are you?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Now, why would I do that? Do you not trust me? Just follow me." I ended up following him into the woods. It was like he was following an invisible trail.

Damn.

Once I could se- "Oh my god." I gasped. I ran towards the place. Once I was there, we were on a cliff high up from the ocean. I could hear the seagulls and waves crashing into the rocks below. I stood at the edge breathing in the scent, savoring the view, just enjoying the landscape.

I felt a warm body pressed up against my back. Arms wrapping around my waist. His chin resting on my shoulder. "I knew you'd like this place." His breath against my neck.

"Why are we hear?" I still faced the ocean. He turned me around to face him.

"I wanted tell you something. It's important." I sighed. He gestured me to sit down, so I sat. We both say side by side, knees touching.

"What'd you want to tell me?"

"So, um, I came to a conclusion to tell you something I've never told anybody. I trust you," he placed his hand on my knee and I placed mine on top, "I'm telling you this not only 'cause I trust you but it's been killing for years not telling anybody." His eyes were glassy but soon blinked back.

"Go on. I'll listen." I softly said. He nodded and continued.

"I have a s-sister. I've never told anybody about her because I thought I'd feel humiliated. I don't know why I thought that actually. Um so a few years ago she got ill and has been alive till now. She's dying and I don't know how many days she has left. This here," he gestured to the land and ocean surrounding us, "this is my 'spot', I haven't brought anybody here nor have I told anybody about my 'spot'. I found this place when it all started. I've been coming here to think about-" he paused, "-life.  I've tried coping by going out to parties or have sex with random girls. It didn't help; it made it worse."

I placed my head on his shoulder trying to comfort him. Tears streaming down his cheeks. My vision becoming blurry. I rubbed my thumb on his hand, trying to soothe him.

"Then you came into my life. Sofia, you have been helping me in ways nobody has been able to do. You speak your mind, don't listen to the people bringing you down, and most of all, you are true." At this time I couldn't help but cry tears of joy and sadness. I turned to him and looked at him as our tears falled freely. I cupped my hand on his cheek and he leaned in, closing his eyes. I caressed his soft tear stained cheek.

"I'm sorry." I whispered. His eyes soon sank into mine. Both of us leaning in. Our noses brushing against each other. Lips brushing softly. We gave in and softly kissed each other, savoring every second. It wasn't rough or passionate. It was rather soft, soothing, and I don't know, trustworthy. It felt real.

We pulled apart and he rested his forehead on mine. "Sofia Huff, will you do the honors of being my girlfriend?" He whispered.

I wrapped my arms around neck and pulled him into a tight hug, placing my head in the crook of his neck. Without hesitation I said, "yes, it'll be such an honor for me to be your girlfriend, Parker Williams."
