High School Sweetheart (ON HOLD)

Chapter 9

"Am I in love with you or am I in love with the feeling?"

*unedited yet.

It slowly become a routine for Cade and Rue. She will wait for Cade to pick her up in her last class, then, both of them will take a walk to the town part where most buses waited for passengers until it's their time to start the journey.

Rue thought today will be the same as the last few days but Cade totally have different plan for both of them.

"Lemme help you with that." Cade says while reaching out to carry Rue's books.

Rue without protesting gladly give them to Cade and smile happily, almost skipping along the walk to the town.

"Um, I know your aunt and uncle is still taking care over you sister and haven't back yet. So, I was wondering--, if you don't mind of course. I mean, if you want to. Um- come with me? This evening, to a special place? W-with me?" Cade winced slightly at the end of his sentences how his voice cracked a bit.

"Are you asking me on date Cadeee?" She dragged the 'e' clearly teasing. "Hey! It's rhyme!" Enjoying how Cade blushing even more.

"Of course I don't mind! I've been bored to death being home alone, waiting for my prince charming to sweep me off my feet." She chuckled and might look calm on the outside but on the inside there's a fireworks going crazy in her tummy.

"Well, phew! In that case, just get ready after you reach home. Shower and all that girly things girls do. I will pick you up, and wear something casual."

When Cade said he will pick Rue up, she didn't expect Cade to pick her up with a superbike! A damn Kawasaki Ninja superbike!

"Wait! What if we get pull over?! Neither both of us have license yet." Rue pointed out as she about to put the helmet on.

"Let's hope we won't. Besides, the place is not too far." Cade says, already starting the black Ninja.

Rue gulped nervously. Well, this will be her first time riding this two wheels thingy. She doesn't noticed how long she been thinking about how to climbed on that thing.

Cade must've realised that Rue standing still besides him.

"It's okay if you're afraid to ride this. We can just take the bus then we have to walk a bit. I don't want you to get tired so I thought maybe if we-"

"No no no! It's fine. Just a bit nervous. We won't fall right?" She asked making Cade climbed down the bike and stand infront her.

"No, love. Don't worry." Cade says while securing the helmet by the strap that Rue's wearing.

"Okay! All done. So now, just hold on tight on my shoulder, then step on this thingy before swinging your other leg to the other side. Just straddled it." Cade explained gently.

After the third try, Rue finally stradding the bike's seat. She shifted a little completely uncomfortable. She put her hands cautiously on Cade's shoulder.

A revving sound jolted Rue forward in effect making her quickly latched on Cade by hugging his neck.

"Ow! Not so hard, love. I can't breathe." He says breathless while patting Rue hands that practically choking him.
