~Ever has it been that love knows not it's own death until the hour of separation.~
Aspen
After ice cream we played by the pool until the sky turned a golden orange color. Ronnie, Nessa, and Piper sat in front of the fire we made and roasted marsh mellows. I brought out chocolate and honey crackers to make smores.
I was laughing at something Nessa did when Lennox pulls me up and leads me into the orchard. He's starring at the sun set with a peaceful look in his eyes. I smile and let him lead me along. Every time i'm with him i just feel like we're meant for each other.
His blue eyes shinned a stormy grey color in the sun and his dimples only show when he's laughing. I loved the way his eyes wrinkle when he smiles or the way he bite his lip when he's trying not to smile. He's just perfect and we were perfect.
We stopped under an old apple tree then he gets serious. "Aspen, I'm sorry."
I chuckle. "Why You didn't do anything, babe."
"No wait." He starts. "It's because, these past 2 to 3 weeks have been the best weeks f my life. I spent them with you. To be even more honest, I'm afraid of falling in love with you especially now that you're leaving in 2 weeks.
I really don't want to do long distance and i want to end everything with you right now. I don't want to get too attached to you and be all sad when you leave. I want to be focused when i get to New York and not be all sappy because of my relationship.
Now don't take this personally, but please don't talk to me anymore. Just... just forget that any of this happened. I don't want you thinking of me when i'm not thinking of you anymore, Aspen."
I frown and try not to let my eyes water. "How am i not going to take that personally?!" I yelled. "Just! Just get out of my house now!"
He looks at me with a hurt look. "I don't want to end on bad terms-"
"I don't give a fuck how you feel anymore! Get out of my house!" I shouted. "And just like you said don't talk to me anymore and don't even think about me! Leave!" He still stays. "Are you stupid?! I told you to leave!"
He runs up to me and places one last kiss on my lips. I don't feel the tingles anymore though. The spell he casted on me was broken and he doesn't effect me anymore. He whispers a good bye then walks away never turning back. I stood there, arms crossed trying not to cry.
When his car drove away i slide down that old apple tree and just rested my chin on my knees. I didn't cry. No tears were going to be spilled over a boy i me 3 weeks ago. We weren't even official so why was i sad? He was never really mine's in the first place so i shouldn't care.
Ijust sat there watching the sun go down and admiring how the sky changed colors. I didn't realize how late it was until the sky was a navy blue and had stars sprinkled on it. I never watched a sunset like this before and i think i'm going to start watching them more often now.
I picked up my phone and scrolled through my contacts until i found the name 'Nick'' appeared. My finger was right above the button, but i was still debating on calling him since he was just trouble. Then again i needed someone like him to get my mind off Lennox. I dialed his number and pressed the phone to my ear.
"Aspen?" His raspy voice says. "It's been a while huh?"
I chuckle. "Yeah. Think you can sneak me into Passion tonight?"
"Baby, you already know i can, but Rico is going to be there. You sure you wanna go with him there?"
"I was actually hoping he was there. Meet me there at 10?"
"Yup see you there gorgeous."
I press end and sneak into my room avoiding Piper and Ronnie. I get into the shower and wash my hair and body with coconut scented soaps. When i was done i straighten my hair and dug through my closet to find something to where.
I picked out a short, skin tight, black dress with long sleeves. I then pulled out some Jimmy Choo heels. I started on my makeup and did a very dark smokey eye with a matte, nude colored, liquid lipstick. When i was happy with how i looked, i snuck the door that leads to the pool and made my way through the orchards until i was in our drive way.
I got in my car and drove away.
