I felt as if I was suffocating. My breath was stuck in my throat and my hands were clenched. Breathe in, breathe out. He is not Andrew. My mind was spinning and I felt faint. All I could think about was the time I was ever with Andrew. He never took no for an answer. Adrian’s command was getting to me and I couldn’t break myself out of this trance.
Those were the only things I could think about until a very large and warm hand was covering mine.
“Are you okay lllyse?” My breathing started to come back to normal. He was touching me, yet it didn’t bother me. I didn’t flinch at his hold. Adrian’s voice was husky yet soothing. It gave me a sense of calm.
I nodded my head and looked out the window but his hand never left mine.
The grill was a small diner filled with booths and a jukebox. It had a 50’s theme and felt very welcoming. There floors were checkered red and white, and all of the waitresses were wearing cute outfits to fit the aura of the small diner. It was in a very secluded location but once you stepped through then door you couldn’t help but have a smile on your face.
“Adrian, Lyse over here.” Audrey was waving us over to a booth in the far back next to a window.
Audrey pulled me into the middle of her and Ellie and Adrian sat across from me.
“What can I get you guys to?” An elderly woman asked.
We all gave our orders and started to get into an argument about cats and dogs. I wasn’t particularly interested so I sat back into the booth and started to analyze “Ana’s Diner, Café and Bakery.” I felt a foot playfully run up my leg. I looked back at Adrian but he was only smirking and listening to the others bicker.
I muffled my giggle, two can play at this game. Seductively, I run my hand up his calf and into his thigh. His head snapped up and when his eyes met mine they were clouded with an emotion I couldn’t quite decipher.
I took my hand away as our food is set in front of us. Ellie had ordered a chicken salad, Audrey and I had ordered a cheese burger. Jackson, Adrian and Jason ordered double stuffed burger with a large plate of fries for us all to share.
This burger was huge. I thought I was going to get a measly burger like at the McDonalds, but instead I get a ginormous burger that I won’t even able to eat half of.
I hear chuckling around me, “Are you okay lllyse?” Jason has a smirk on his face as if he knew this would happen.
I stare at him, “This thing is huge!” My eyes are wide and I feel my insides tightening. How would I finish all of this? I absolutely hate wasting and I would hate to throw away this very appetizing burger.
“lllyse.” His voice is intoxicating. “Eat the burger and if you don’t finish it you can just take it home in takeout box.” Adrian’s eyes are an exhilarating hazelcolor and I can’t help but stare at them.
I mumble an okay and start to eat this thing.
One delicious burger and two Pepsis later and I am about to pop. It was getting very late so we all decided to book it home. Since the girls were going with Jason and Jackson, I once again had to go with Adrian. Alone.
There was a comfortable silence. The music was a slight hum in the background. I felt more assured when I was with Adrian now. As if we understood each other just a tiny bit better.
As we pulled up to my house there were no lights on or cars in the driveway. It would not have been the first time nobody was home but Adrian still insisted on walking me up to the door.
I unlocked the door and turned back to face him, “You can come in if you would like.”
Adrian didn’t say anything he only looked at me. I was about to close the door when he pushed on it, “lllyse. Wait.”
He was staring at me. Adrian started moving towards me, his hand on my cheek. Adrian placed his soft and pink lips on my cheek and lingered there for a few seconds before he pulled back.
“Sleep well lllyse,” He whispered.
I quietly slipped into my room and changed into my night wear. I got into bed thinking about what had happened.
Making new friends, almost getting raped, getting assaulted, watching Adrian’s race, and spending time with these new friends that I had made. But best of all I was kissed, on the cheek, with warmth. There was no hidden meaning behind what had happened, only a small gesture.
But why? If this was such a small thing why did it mean so much? My heart started beating faster and my mind was turned foggy.
It was only a kiss on the cheek but it was more than that. It was his acceptance of me. He could have hugged me but he didn’t.
I didn’t feel this way when Andrew held my hand yet when a boy I barely knew had kissed my cheek I was flustered.
I was wide awake that night. My mind was spinning and I felt dizzy. I was unable to know that my life was about to change.
For the better and the worst.
