She Walks Alone

Chapter 6

Of course.
Am I surprised?
No.
Am I annoyed?
100%

          I got all dressed up and Mrs.Gonzalez took time out of her day to take me here and I am beyond annoyed! Do understand how long it took me to get my hair like this! I looked up at them and Rylan had pushed her off of him. Huh? I coughed loudly and Rylan looked up looking terrified. He just.... stood there? is he gonna say something? Okay, whatever that's fine, but I'm leaving. I turned around and walked out the diner as I hit the sidewalk. I heard the door open behind me.

       "Roxanne!" He yelled so I stopped what's the point in being mad if I knew he didn't really care. I knew this was going to happen anyway.

         Might as well hear his sorry ass excuse. His hand touched my shoulder and I got that feeling again.

          "What? What is it Rylan?" I asked sounding annoyed as he was wasting my time.

         "Look, let me explain," he grabbed my shoulders turning me to face him.

       "What do you think I'm doing?"

      "Come let's get in my car it's getting cold out here." My brain yelled to leave but my feet had other plans as I followed him. We both climbed in the car and he turned on the seat warmers and heater.

    "So we came here to talk, so talk."

    "O-ok s-so I got to the diner and I was waiting for you when Taylor walked in and she came over and sat next to me and we started talking it was going fine until she started rubbing my arm and touching my leg and then she said why was I even hanging out with you when I should be with her and her friends but I defended you because I already I've liked you for god knows how long and I got up to leave but then she jumped on me and kissed and I tried to get her off but that chicks got an iron grip so I finally got her off and then you coughed and you know the rest look Roxanne." He explained I kept me eyes down I didn't want to look at him. But instead Rylan grabbed my both my hands staring right into my eyes.

   "Roxanne I like you, I really really like you I know I barely know you but I do like you I would never in a million years try to jeopardize this. I had a plan to be the good guy to show how amazing and nice I was and this completely messed it up but just give me one more chance I so so sorry" he finished talking . How do I respond to that? Did he really mean what he said I searched through his eyes and saw no hint that he was lying.

    "Roxie, say something. Please" his voice sounded so sad it was like someone stabbing me in the heart so I did the one thing I needed to do.

I kissed him.
