"Apprendre le français était beaucoup mieux l'année dernière" (Learning French was much better last year) I tell Zay walking out of class. "Je suis d'accord plus je ne pense pas que notre professeur est un vrai Français." (I agree plus I don't think our teacher is a real Frenchmen) laughing I tell him "it's obvious his mustache is pretty much peeling off his face." "You mean trying to run off!" Zay chuckles. "Let's go to lunch I'm starving." "ZB we still have one more class before lunch." Dragging him along. "Do we have to I'm so ready for lunch it's practically calling my stomach!" He whined. "Oh please drama isn't until the end of the day, let's hold off on the theatrics huh?" I say sternly. "Ri Ri you're one strict woman when it comes to the first day." He looks at me with wide eyes and a hint of humor. "Well I'll have you know this class you'll enjoy it practically screams your name!" "Zay! Zay! Zay!" I shout walking in front of him.
"Well I can't leave my loyal followers waiting for me now can I?" He says waving his hand like he won the Ms. America pageant. "Welcome back class I hope everyone had a terrific summer!" Our newspaper teacher said cheerfully. "Now your editor Paul here will get you started. Paul." Thank you Ms. Gordon might I add you look lovely today. Is that a new sweater?" "Paul quit being a kiss-ass and give us our assignment already." Zay tossed a crumbled ball at him. "Mr. Babineaux let's refrain from name calling please." "Sorry Ms. G." "Paul." "As I was saying I think we should get out the first edition this week find out what everyone did this summer." Paul shouts like he's giving a speech to congress and not a room full of bored classmates. "Riley!" Paul points at me and says "we're going to need a lot of pictures!" "It's got to be your best stuff!" "Nothing but the best for you chief." I say with a salute. "Zay since you're one of our popular writers on the team we can give you more space this edition." Twenty questions the inbox is already full of emails waiting for you. "On it boss." Zay said sounding like a 60s news person.
It's true just like I found my calling of taking pictures so did Zay. Turns out he has a knack for giving advice to people. To be fair no one knows it's him. He said and I quote "I got a rep to protect" which I responded by saying "it's not much of one if you continue to quote grease 2." "Okay people let's get to work!" Paul shouts at us. "Riley can you get some photos of kids that are out and about right now?" Paul asked knowing what I would say. "Anything for you chief!" "Ms. G is it alright if I go?" I turn to our teacher knowing she didn't mind she always turns the class over to Paul. "Sure Riley make.." she was cut off by paul shouting at me "chop chop Matthews time is money!"
Wandering around aimlessly taking different photos I found myself by a bench near the quad sitting down staring at the falling leaves when I felt someone behind me. "Hey gorgeous what are you doing out here by your lonesome?" He whispered in my ear before kissing my cheek. I smile and turn to him holding up my camera. "Paul got you on newspaper duty and it's only the first day?" He chuckled grabbing my hand. "Of course you know what he says." "News never sleeps people time is money!" We both shout and start laughing.
"So.." He says brushing my hair back behind my ear, in doing so it sent shivers down my spine and I admittedly stopped laughing. "So.." I said back getting lost in his green eyes and trying not to blush. "So.." he said again more softly knowing what effect it had on me. "So.." I say inching closer to him little by little biting my lip. "You know it's extremely difficult to concentrate when you do that." He said with a gulp. "Doing what?" I whisper innocently tilting my head and biting my lip knowing exactly what I was doing. He smirked at me knowing that I was in it to win it in our little game.
So before I could make my next move he moved closer to where I felt his breath on my lips and whispered "You win." Right before smashing his lips on mine. Every kiss we shared always felt like the first time slow and romantic and then turns into a fiery passion I've never felt or seen before. And I could honestly say I enjoyed every single moment. Pulling back so we can catch our breath he rest his forehead on mine and keeping my eyes closed smiling wishing he kiss me again. And just like he could read my mind I feel his breath on my skin and I open my eyes and he kisses me again. "I.could.never.get.enough.of.this." He said between kisses tightening the hold on my waist I put my hands around his neck causing the kiss to deepen and a small moan to escape my mouth.
He pulls back slightly and says "as much as I would LOVE to continue this and believe me I would, I don't want your dad to chase me around school throwing things at me." I smile and say "Just remember to bob and weave maybe a little zig and zag to throw him off." Chuckling he looks at me and takes a deep breath and smiles. "What?" I ask tilting my head to the side. "Nothing I just really like you Riley." Grabbing my hand and brushing light kisses upon my knuckles. "Well that's good cause I really like you too." I lightly laugh getting lost in his eyes again.
"What are you doing tonight? want to come over?" He asked shyly playing with my fingers. I loved that no matter how long we were together he always got nervous around me. "I would love to but I have plans with auggie we have this tradition every first day of school where we go out to eat and get ice cream and talk about our day." "Maybe I can see you after?" I asked aiming my camera at him. Right when he looked up I snapped the picture knowing without looking it was perfect.
Smiling at me and kissing my hand once again he said "yeah I would love that." We were so lost in each other we didn't know someone was watching us.
