Forgetting Cynthia

Knew You All Along

"If I don't say this now I will surely break As I'm leaving the one I want to take Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait  My heart has started to separate Oh, oh, Be my baby  Ohhhhh Oh, oh Be my baby  I'll look after you There now, steady love, so few come and don't go  Will you won't you, be the one I'll always know  When I'm losing my control, the city spins around  You're the only one who knows, you slow it down" Look after you, The fray

It was Cute when she yelled. Her bright green eyes eyed me curiously.

"who are you?" she narrowed her eyes during the interrogation.

"Erik Tyler." i replied leaning against the wall. Still currently shirtless with my shorts and dc's on. She eyed me.

"age?" she spoke again.

"seventeen." i answered politely.

She sighed " birthday?" i eyed her.

Now it was less tense. "September the twentieth." she breathed in and out rubbing her nose while closing her eyes.

"Erik where am i?" she said softly all nervousness out of her voice.

"my apartment, just outside of Portland." i reassured her.

" you're not from here are you?" she asked.

"nope." i said popping the 'puh'.

"then where are you from and how'd you get here?" she said eyeing me yet again.

" Wisconsin, I drove. Just got here today" i replied.

She then stood up with a confused expression on her face.

" just bought the apartment. And the stuff was shipped and carried in. I have food and drink and music. Just leave the room." i said and chuckled.

She came up and socked me in the chest.

"heyy! Now watch it. Don't hurt the merchandise!" i playfully yelled.

"how am i supposed to know im not dreaming? A hot guy just falls off a cliff with me. Then takes me back to his rich ass apartment to which he just moved into today. With great designing skills and a chest like that with that tan skin and is laughing about how confused i am!" she said pointing at my stomach, hint of six pack but not super defined. Low riding shorts showing off that snail trail. With a happy trail starting lightly from a couple inches above my belly button.

" you're probably gay though." she added winking.

" you are dreaming? Nope I'm dreaming and psychotic rescuing a beautiful girl from suicide. Then taking her back home. And she actually talks to me! I needed some company and now I've got it." i said nicely getting up from the wall and closing the space in between us.

My heart beat faster and her cheeks flushed. She was adorable.

" as for the gay part." i said and paused for dramatic effect.

" you couldn't get so lucky" i whispered to her, pulling up her shirt and then pulling down the bottom of her shorts to help her decency.

The look on her face was shocked.

"so, whats your name then? Spit it out since you are going to be staying here a while." i said trying to change the subject.

"Cynthia Lane" she said softly again.

"well Cynthia, you need to eat." i said.

She had an interesting look on her face when i said her name. Dragging it out. I hauled her over my shoulder and took her to the kitchen. She didn't even fight it. I set her down on the kitchen floor. She stared wide eyed. She looked at me with big eyes.
