Fading Away

Chapter Sixteen

      I was half asleep. That was only because of the annoying sounds of birds chirping near my window. I also felt a soft poke on my knee.

     "Mila, wake up." a deep voice spoke. I knew exactly who it was. I groaned in response and dug my face into the pillow. "Go away." I said in my very sleepy voice.

    That's when I felt two pairs of hands, yank me by my ankles, to the end of the bed. My long sweater rode up to my hips from the impact, exposing my underwear.

   "Lace. I like it." he smirked. He glided his hands over thigh-socks. "Evan..what do you want?" I was irritated at his hand movement. As usual they were somehow cold, yet very warm. It tickled, but I wasn't going to let him know that.

    I pulled down my sweater and frown at his gorgeous frame. He smiled cheekily at me and said "I'm taking you somewhere tonight." I shifted and lifted my knees up.

      "So you woke me up in the morning because?" I lifted my foot and lightly touched his stomach. He hooked his hands under my knees and pulled me towards him. His body was now resting in between my legs. He held my hands above my head and smiled.

      "Maybe because I felt like annoying you. It seems to be working." he smirked and looked at my lips.

     I kept my face straight and put my lips into a thin line and his eyes landed right back on mine. He leaned in and I did as well. Our lips brushed against each other until pressed into me more.

     "You're deranged." I spoke. That wasn't meant for him to hear. My cheeks grew red instantly. I saw his eyes crinkle and his his cheeks rose higher. He was chuckling.

     "Why thank you." he said softly. Before I knew it, his lips connected with mine once again. A tingly sensation went down my spine. I breathed in his intoxicating scent and sighed.

     Before he could deepen the kiss, I pulled away and breathed. His let go of my wrist and started smoothing my hair with his hands.

        

       I know, I said I didn't want to fall for his trap, but Evan is different and I think I can trust him. As hard as it is, I can.

      "You know, I hate surprises. So you should probably tell me where you're taking me." I said. I grew impatient, not knowing where this guy is taking me was driving me insane.

   "My lips are sealed." he smiled cheekily at me. I rolled my eyes and pushed him off of me, sending him straight to the floor. I heard a loud thud.

    "Weak." I said, laughing.

  

**************************************

     It was a pretty nice sunny day outside. It was also perfect for going to the park. So that's exactly what I did.

   I know it's not something I'd usually do, but this is California and well, I need to have stop hibernating in my room.

      At this moment, I was sitting down on a two-sided bench with my headphones in my ears. The song Dirty Paws by Of Monsters and Men started playing.

     I was simply moving my head to the beat when I smelt a strong smell of a cigarette. The smoke blew on the side of my face.

        I took out my headphones and slowly turned my body around to see the person smoking. Surprisingly, it was a girl. 

     She turned her body as well and smiled. It was not something I was expecting at all. "Well, hello there." she was quite cheerful.
