Roxanna has been through the worst. She's been abused, homeless, starved, all by her father who turned to drugs and alcohol after her mother dies. was kicked out by him at the age of twelve and the one reason she kept going was her little brother As...
It is like all the fireworks from New Year's Eve exploding in my stomach. He doesn't miss a beat and is responding to the kiss almost immediately. It's as if this is what's meant to happen like it's faith. The kiss is passionate almost aggressive like we are starving. We can't stop. His hands are now on my waist. My hands are entangled in his hair. We don't have a care in the world. His hands drop from waist and go under my legs to lift me up. Never once breaking the kiss. My knees are now on either side of him. I break away and he comes and kisses me again but soon stops since we're both out of breath. We're both panting as if we just ran a marathon. Our foreheads are pressing together it's like we have to be touching each other. All I can see are two blue oceans staring at me. Our breathing is starting to subside. "Roxanne?" "Yes." "Does this mean you forgive?" I look down and let my curls cover my smiling face. I look back up and nod my head. "Oh, thank God!" He pushes his forehead back onto to mine and kisses me slowly and much less aggressively. He pulls away. "So I have a question" I lean back and answer him. "Ask away" "What are you hiding from me and don't lie please" My face drops and I reach over to unlock the door. Rylan grabs my hands wrapping them around his neck and wraps his hands around my waist pulling me closer. "Rox what could be so bad that you couldn't tell me?" "It's not that it's just I don't want you to know yet." "Yet?" "Yes, yet I wanna tell you just not right now I promise I will though" "Pinky promise" he sticks his pinky out to me. I stick out mine back to him enlacing them.
"Promise?" "Promise."

Rylan and I decide to cancel whatever he had plan which he claims was going to be "amazing". He insist that we have to learn more about each other since we've already broken his first rule.
No. 1: no kissing on first dates.
So since that's pretty much out the window he says he knows this beautiful place to go to. I oblige and we ride down to this place hands intertwined.
"Ok close your eyes"
"Ok?" I say and hesitantly close my eyes. "Please don't kill me" Rylan laughs and I hear a door open and close and then I feel a cool breeze on my arms and legs. He grabs for my hand and I give it to him.
"Ok so you're gonna come out the car but slowly" I stand and jump out the car surely startling him. Jesus! Rox I was trying be careful get hurt never mind now." We both start laughing as he gets behind and places his hands on my shoulder.
"Okay stop right here ready?" I nod my head and he takes my blindfold off.

"The beach! Of I haven't been to the beach since I was a little kid" I turn around with a big goofy smile on my face and hug Rylan.
"I'm glad you like it now come on let's go" he grabs hand and leads me down and we talk, just talk about everything.
He has three sisters, his dad owns a production company, his mom is fashion designer and former model, he loves soccer; football; and tennis, he has four best friends Isak, Noora, Zyra, and Zad. He also told me he could live off of just pizza rolls and cookies and cream ice cream.
I tell him a lot about myself avoiding certain things though. We finally sit down by some rocks and just watch the ocean. We sit in silence as the waves hit the shore. My head resting on his shoulder his hand curved around my waist. And for the first time in my life I feel truly safe.
