Skate

Seemed like it took days just for us to get to the hotel cause I was already asleep. When Ri woke me up I was kind of caught off guard to see her in my face again.

I thought the whole thing of her at the bar and driving my car was something I imagined. Now that I realize it's real all I want to do is get my ass in my bed.

She continued to help me out the car and even up the elevator to the room. When the door opened I noticed Sam was gone and realized how fucking messy it was in here.

Ri sat me down on the bed and yawned as she walked towards the porch and slid the door opened and closed it behind herself. I watch as she rested her elbows on the metal fence and looked up at the sky and then kept bringing her hands to her face.

When I got the strength to stand I noticed I was able to walk much better than before and headed towards the porch. I opened the door and didn't bother to close the door behind me. My main focus was just her.

When she heard my footsteps she quickly wiped her eyes and sniffed loudly. It was obvious she was crying, but I wasn't sure why. I'm usually not the type to know what to do when serious shit like this happens.

"Ri.." I spoke in a shaky voice.

She turned and looked up at me with her mascara running down her face. I could see in her eyes that she was angry, sad, possibly confused about something. I hope I didn't say something stupid at the bar or in the car on our way here because I've completely forgotten about everything.

"D-Did I say something earlier?"

She laughed. "No, I wouldn't be crying if you said anything. Dumb shit leaves your mouth all the time."

She turned and started walking back towards the doors. I grabbed her wrist and turned her around sort of in a twirling motion into my chest. I brought her arms up to my shoulders and placed my hands on her waist with a smile. She looked in my eyes as she took her tongue out her mouth to lick her bottom lip slowly.

"Oh God, please don't tell me you're going to kiss me." She cringed. "You know I hate that cheesy romantuc bullshit." She looked away laughing.

"Nahh ma, not tonight." I chuckled.

She playfully bunched my arm and backed away from me with an awkward laugh. I grabbed my arm and rubbed it softly as if the soft bunch actually hurt. I watched as she bent down and took of her heels, jacket, and then turned around in front of me.

"Could you help me with.."

She pointed to the back of neck hinting for me to take off her necklace. I stepped forward and reached for it, but I was shocked to see it was the necklace I gave her.

Of course, it was years ago, but I was surprised she still had after everything that happened. I had a hard time at first getting it off because my fucking hands kept shaking, but when I finally got it off I couldn't take my eyes off of it.
