My Heart Over My Head

Chapter Two

I cannot believe what I just heard - I walk over to Dylan's box and grab out a joint I light it up and take a long drag from it. Fuck fuck fuck, I've just spent the night with some insane man. I knew he was too good to be true what the hell am I going to do and how do I get out of this? I make sure that joint lasts for ages and once I've finished that I have a couple of cigarettes - I don't want to go inside I don't want to look Dylan in the face and pretend I didn't hear any of that. Misty comes running over to me.
"Hey girl" I whisper patting her
Why was I whispering? I guess I wanted Dylan to forget I was out here so I didn't have to talk to him. I hear the door bell this time it has to be my clothes Dylan by this point had gone upstairs with kale to his office. I hear him walk down the stairs and answer the door.
"Thanks Doug" he says and shuts the door.
He walks to the back door and steps out.
"Your clothes are here beautiful"
"Thanks" I smile trying not to let on I heard anything kale had said.
He hands them to me and kisses me on the cheek I smile again.
"I'm going to go and get changed" I say walking past him and towards his bedroom.
"I won't be too much longer" he says "there's clean towels in the bathroom"
I walk into his bedroom and shut the door.I get undressed and jump into the shower the hot water runs down my skin and so do the tears what the fuck did I get myself into? I have the longest shower possible and when I get out I dry off and get dressed into one of my new summer dresses. I brush my hair pull on some sandals and remove my stuff from my clutch and put it into my handbag.

I walk out into the lounge room and pick up the phone.
"Can I order a large iced coffee please?"
"Sure it will be up to you soon."
I put the phone down and get some money out of my wallet and put it onto the kitchen bench.
I hear foot steps come down the stairs.
"What's that for?"
"I ordered myself coffee" I reply
"I don't need you to pay for it"
"I want too"
"Okay" he says "I'll just let kale out and I'll be all yours"
"Great" I reply
After Kale leaves I all of a sudden feel uncomfortable with Dylan. I really don't want to be here with him but I don't want him to know I heard what happened.
"What do you want to do today?"
"I don't know" I reply "to go home?" I think to myself
"Sienna did you hear any of what kale said earlier?"
"What? Why?"
"Because your acting different around me."
"I'm not feeling too good."
"You don't have to lie I know you did and it's okay."
"I'm sorry I heard, I promise I won't tell anyone"
"It's not your fault. I know I can trust you" he says wrapping his arm around me "I'm sorry".
My coffee finally arrives and I drink it quickly. Dylan explains about how the guy that was killed at the club last night was bad news he had recently been released from jail for raping one of Dylan's friends sisters years before and had been causing trouble since then. The police weren't too worried about it because he was better off the streets for good. I Felt more comfortable when I realized this guy wasn't some innocent guy off the street he was a really bad man that deserved what he got.

After a while sitting on the couch talking Dylan looks at me,
"so enough of this do you want to do something?"
"Yeah" I reply
"Like what?"
"I don't know, what is there to do around here?"
"We could go into the city?"
"Yeah I suppose"
"Or we could go for a drive and see where we end up?"
"Now that sounds like a plan!" I smile
"I would say we could go for a couple of days but you've got work?"
"I can call in sick I've never taken days off"
"Only if your sure"
"Sounds amazing" I smile.
Dylan puts some of his stuff together and I ring work Rachel my boss says I can take until Thursday off but I'll need to be back then because nobody can cover me that day. We walk down to the car park and Dylan takes me to his car.
"Holy shit" I smile "nice car"
"Thanks" he replies looking at his silver Ferrari "get in"
I get into his beautiful car, he shoves his stuff in the back and he climbs in - we drive to my apartment so I can tell Ella we are going away for a couple of days and to grab some stuff for myself. Once we hit the road we have no idea where we are going but all we know is we don't want to be around here for a few days. It's funny, I feel like I've known Dylan for ever I feel so comfortable with him. He can explain why what happened happened last night and I believe him a hundred percent. I trust him.
"You know what Si?"
"What?" I ask
"This car is not really a road trip car let's put it in storage and hire one?"
"Okay" I reply
We go to this hire place and Dylan sees a car that it a red old fashioned convertible.
"Perfect" he smiles
Soon we switch cars and we are on the road again with the roof down and the stereo blasting. We just drive and drive talking, laughing and singing. We find this tiny little town.
Dylan smiles at me "Let's find somewhere to eat".
"Okay"

We go into a cafe and get some lunch. We place our order and Dylan looks at me and smiles.
"I feel like I've known you forever" he says
"Me too" I reply "sooo what are your plans for our road trip?"
"I have none" he smiles "I just needed to get away from the drama and you sounded like a pretty good person to get away with."
"So who is Kale?" I ask
Dylan looks to the side and frowns - fuck maybe I shouldn't have asked him that.
"His my little brother" he replies
"Oh"
"Honestly don't worry about it it'll all be fine" he says, with what seems to be a forced smile.
Our lunch comes and we eat then we decide to take a walk around the tiny town to explore it. We walk past this little crystal store.
"Do you want to go in?" He asks
"Yeah okay" I reply
We head inside and it is so quite an older lady comes out.
"Hi" she smiles
"Hi" I reply
"Would you like me to read you future?"
I look at Dylan and he smirks.
"Okay" I reply
"Follow me" she smiles "you, stay out here"
I follow her into a back room and she motions for me to sit down. She sits opposite me and starts shuffling cards.
"Pick three" she says
I pull three cards out and she starts to talk.
"You've been bought up in a very close and protective family, your parents didn't want you to leave home but you went against their wishes and now they think that you are in the right place. You are in a happy place with your career and you have found the one."
"What?"
"You've found the love of your life"
"I've just met him"
"In this life - but you have met him many many times before."
"Really?"
"Yes! But something always pulls you apart!" She sighs "and this is your last chance to make it work - you have to make it work"
"How?" I ask
"Follow your heart - don't let people tell you that you shouldn't be with him and if they do don't listen."
"Okay?" I reply

A while later my reading is over and I walk out Dylan's standing outside having a cigarette.
"How much do I owe you?" I ask
"It's on the house Sienna" the lady smiles "just remember to follow your heart"
"Are you sure?"
"I am" she smiles "now enjoy your road trip."
"How did you know I'm on a road trip?"
"Because I know a lot about you my dear."
"Thanks" I say leaving the store.
"How was it?" Asks Dylan
"Great" I smile and I lean over and kiss him "it was great."
We walk back to the car and get in we drive for another couple of hours and see another little town in the near distance.
"Let's find somewhere to sleep the night" Dylan smiles "I'm starting to get hungry."
"Okay" I reply
We drive a little further and find a cute little hotel. We leave the car and take our bags and go and book into a room. When we get our keys we walk to our room walk in and throw ourselves on the bed.
Dylan rolls over and throws his arm around me "So what did the lady tell you?"
"Not a lot" I reply
"Really?"
"Yeah basically that my life was going in the right direction" it's not a lie but I really want to avoid what she actually said.
"That's great" he smiles and kisses my cheek.

We lay on the bed for ages just talking and trying not to fall asleep today has been the most relaxing busiest day I've had in a long time. I cannot believe that since we met Friday night we've hardly been away from each other it's been such a crazy ride the last few days but I feel at home with Dylan but I guess that's because (if the lady was right) we've known each other over many life times.
"Si do you wanna go for a walk down to the beach?" He asks
"Yeah" I smile
We chuck our shoes back on and head down to the beach it's beautiful here and I think it's more beautiful because Dylan's here with me. My phone starts to ring and I look at Dylan.
"Answer it" he smiles
I pull it out of my pocket and realize it's mum.
"Hello"
"Hey darling girl I rang the apartment but Sienna said you'd taken off for a couple of days"
"Yeah I needed to get away from the city"
"You could have come here"
"I know mum"
"Who are you away with"
"Umm a friend?" I smirk Dylan smirks back at me and playfully pushes my shoulder.
"Do I know her?"
"No, you don't know him"
"Him?!"
"Yes mum, him" the stupid smile on Dylan's face made me want to fall over in laughter.
"So your seeing someone?"
"You could say that"
"Well you'll have to bring him to meet us"
"Maybe" I smile "how's dad?"
"Good, he'd like to meet him too!"
"Stop pushing it woman!" I laugh
"Well he best be nice"
"He is" I reply
"So where are you?"
"This little town called ocean valley on the coast"
"Really?"
"Yes mum"
"It's beautiful there" she replies
"You've been here?"
"It's where I met your dad"

We get back to our room a couple of hours later and decide to get changed and get some dinner. It's 8pm and the only place open is at the hotel so we order some food and a drink and eat. We are both exhausted but it's lovely spending time together.
"So we're friends hey?!" Asks Dylan with the cutest smirk on his face
"Well obviously" I smile
"Only friends?"
"I guess so" I say poking my tongue out
"Yeah, I usually make out with all my friends so I guess it's normal" he laughs
"So you've got a lot of tats"
"Yeah I love them - it's just a way I can express myself" he smiles "how many have you got?"
"Six, One on my neck, wrist, Ankle, back, hip and chest" I reply "I get them when big things happen in my life like when I graduated high school, moved to the city, got into college, Ella and I have matching ones and I have one for my parents."
"That's only five what about the sixth one"
"Oh that one is for my brother"
"You have a brother?"
"Yeah Clint" I frown "he died a couple of years ago from cancer"
"Oh shit, I'm sorry"
"Yeah, I guess these things happen" I reply "so this place is really pretty"
"It is I've never been here before but I'm glad we found it"
"I guess that's the joy of road trips" I smile

We finish up from dinner and head back to our room. We lay on the bed facing each other and Dylan smiles at me.
"Thanks for coming" he says
"Hey, thanks for inviting me."
He kisses me I run my hand down his side and it lands on his waist just where his shirt finishes and his jeans begin. He continues to kiss me I run my hand under his shirt and touch his waist - feeling his warm skin under my hand feels amazing. I sit up and he follows me still kissing me - I pull up the bottom of his shirt and pull it off he does the same to me. I start to unbutton his jeans and he smiles at me.
"Are you sure?" He asks
"Yes" I reply
His pants end up on the floor and minutes later so do mine before I know it we are having sex for the first time and being this close to him is the most amazing feeling. Afterwards we just lie there looking into each others eyes. I'm surprised by the type of guy I thought he was when I first met him to the type of guy I've come to know - they are worlds apart he looks scary but in reality he is so gentle and kind.
He kisses me again and smiles at me "you are amazing"
"So are you." I reply
I cannot believe this has happened, he refused to kiss me until last night and now we are laying next to each other in bed after being so intimate it honestly felt like way more than just sex.

We must have fallen asleep because before I know it, it's morning.
"Hey beautiful" he smiles stroking my hair out of my face.
"Good morning" I smile leaning over and kissing him.
"How are you feeling?"
"Amazing" I reply "how about you?."
"The same"
"I think I'm going to have a shower" I smile and get up and go into the bathroom.
The hot water washes down my back and it's so soothing, I wash my hair and then get out of the shower. I brush my teeth, blow dry my hair do it, chuck some makeup on and get dressed. Then I head back into the room.
"Fuck, you're beautiful" Dylan says coming up in front of me wrapping his arms around me and kissing me.
Dylan gets ready, we get our bags together and go down and check out. We chuck our bags in the car and we are on the road again. We drive further up the coast we really don't have a destination but as long as we are together it honestly doesn't matter. We drive for ages until we come across this water park.
"Do you want to go in?" Dylan asks
"I don't have any bathers" I reply
"It looks like there's shops up there." Smiles Dylan "we'll go get you some"
We go and buy me some bathers and Dylan gets some bored shorts and we head back to the water park. I honestly feel like a kid again waiting in line to go on the slides and then racing Dylan up the steps to see who can reach the top first. We have such an amazing morning we go on the slides over and over laughing and just being dickheads. We decide after a while to get some lunch and hit the road again. I honestly don't want this trip to end, it's Monday we still have a couple of days left but I have this deep down fear of what it's going to be like to enter reality again.

We drive for a couple more hours taking everything in and then we decide to stop in another small down. We get out of the car and go for a walk I throw a long singlet over my bather top and Dylan throws a shirt on. We walk down the little strip of shops occasionally stopping to go inside and see what it's all about.
"Do you want to drive some more today or stay here?" Asks Dylan
"I don't care" I smile that was the truth I didn't asking as I was with him where we are doesn't matter.
"We might drive for another hour or so then" he smiles gripping my hand and pulling me into him he kisses me so quickly I could have missed it and spins me back around.
We head back to the car and continue our road trip to nowhere. The next town we arrive in is huge it's nothing like the small towns we've been to over the last two days. The houses over looking the ocean are huge we park up next to the ocean and Dylan looks towards the houses.
"That one there" he says pointing to this mansion "that's where I grew up."
The house was huge nothing like the humble house I grew up in.
"Wow" I reply
"Yeah it's a nice house but the memories aren't the best" he sighs "well I'm here, I should go and see my mum."
"Your mum still lives there?"
"Yeah she won the house in the divorce" he replies
"Do you want me to stay in the car?" I ask
"No, you can come if you want to" he smiles
"Are you sure?"
"Yep" he leans over and kisses me "she'll love you."
