Regan

I finish my last paper and after everything, I breath. It's like I was trapped and now am free. Finally four years in campus that felt like an eternity,are now over .Am done. And now I can fly. I can breath. I inhale again. God I love this feeling. I look around. Am not the only one enjoying this. Everyone is. I now have an entire week to clear everything. Have all my records, then disappear.. For good.I have among the best grades so am waiting for a scholarship. But OK, I don't have to worry about that now."So finally you can kiss and do naughty things, "my best friend Vera says aloud. On normal days I would look around to see who heard her. But today, I don't. I don't care who heard. "Slut, "I whisper pulling her for a hug. It feels good to finish school. I then take my pens and books and start putting them in my bag. "Finally I won't see Mr Richard another semester, or ever, "I hear someone say. I look behind me and hazel eyes meet mine. ."Who's that,?? Wait,. I know, he's a ghost,. Or probably a vampire,.. "I say .His lips curve into a smile. I can't believe I just said that about the Dean of students. It really feels good. "Remind me again why am just meeting you now,.. Am Regan,, "he says giving me his hand. "Delia, "I say shaking it.. "Wanna get out of here,? "he asks. I finish putting all the stuff I need to dispose later in my bag. "I thought you'd never ask Regan, "I say and we head out. We walk to the parking lot. Everyone has coupled up,and of coz doing crazy stuff. And those not doing crazy stuff will do it later,that's for sure. I see Vera and Jay her boyfriend walk away and now am sure am on my own. I don't have a ride home. "Helmet? "I hear Regan ask and I realize we're standing beside a motorcycle. Perfect. This day is just getting better. "I don't want it, I want the wind to blow my hair and my brains out, "I say letting my hair loose to emphasize the point. Truth is I want to feel everything. Every moment. "I like you already ,again, why are we just meeting now? "he asks getting on his bike. I do the same. "Shut up Regan, "I say as I put my hands around his arms for support. He takes off. His speed is way past the recommended and I can't picture been elsewhere. I feel the wind. It makes me forget about all the times I failed a cat and I had to work so hard to get a good grade in the main exam. All those times I was crashing on a guy and the feeling wasn't reciprocated.All the fake love. All the guys who didn't treat me right.. Then the motorbike comes to a halt and am drawn back to reality. We are currently in the streets. The road is busy. My home is nowhere around and guessing he's too is nowhere here. "Why did we stop here,? "I ask Regan who's getting off the bike. He stands then straightens himself. "I want you to ride the bike, "he says and I stop breathing for a while. He can't be serious. "A've never done that, we'll get into an accident or worse get arrested, "I say truthfully. "I don't see any police here, do you delia ,?And if we get into an accident,and you survive, write a book about how awesome I am, "he says smiling. Ave always wanted to ride a bike. You know, balance. I can't believe am even considering this. It's risky. And that's what is making it exciting. "We'll be fine, delia,"he says offering his hand. I take it. I also take the keys. How bad can it be anyway,? I start the bike. His hands are on my waist and very close to the handles incase of anything. And I feel safe. We begin to move slowly and I try to maintain balance. I know I ain't trying so hard coz he's just right there. The speed goes higher then the wind interferes with my hair and my sight. Regan notices this and he takes full control of the handles and the bike. He's so close to me now.I feel his warm skin on mine. I feel his heart beating so close to mine. And for the first time in a long time, I feel alive. We do this for a while before he now comes to a stop and I see the house am currently staying at in front of us.. I get off the bike. "That was,. "I almost say before his finger is on my lips to stop me from finishing the sentence .I bit it and his eyes grow wide. So does his smile. "You don't stop delia from speaking Regan, the ride was amazing,."I say proudly. "You were amazing delia ,"he says with a grin.Wow .That grin. "Want to come in,"I ask. He hesitates probably considering his options before he nods then parks his bike and we enter the house. I kick off my shoes then rush to the kitchen. Am extremely hungry. He follows. "You know living alone is creepy, "he says taking a drink from the fridge. " I don't live alone Regan , my roommate just texted that she'll be sleeping over at her boyfriend's, "I say happily. Spending a night with a stranger. Way to go delia,. I say to myself. We then argue of what to cook and after I lose the argument, we settle for rice chicken. He gets the chicken as I cook the rice. We are done in no time and we set the table. "Are we going to say the grace,? "he asks and I can't hide my amusement. "Why don't you lead the prayer Regan,? "I say and he holds my hand. Gee.I didn't think he was serious. He closes his eyes and I do the same. "Heavenly Father, daddy, thank you for the day, for helping us all through, for the food and for the beautiful girl sitted beside me,, in Jesus name Amen,"he says and I can't help but smile. Who the hell is this guy. Ooh sorry we just prayed. "Amen, "I say then attack the food. I like it. I like everything today. It makes me feel like it's the first time a've had a good meal. A family meal. We then throw the dishes to the sink and I head to the balcony for some fresh air. It's already dark. The stars are everywhere and a crescent moon. It's a beautiful night. I feel Regan behind me. "Did you know that stars are the most beautiful spontaneous phenomena to exist,? "I ask proud that I still remember some chemistry. "I doubt, they are beautiful, yes,, but they are too far away in space, ..so something just as beautiful and happens naturally outshines the stars, "he says and he has my complete attention. "What?"I ask. He looks at the stars then at me. "Love, Delia,, love, "he says and I smile. Really. Fantasy. "But you can't see love, "I say truthfully.. "You don't have to, . delia, "he says and my heart beats a little bit faster ..We then head indoors and play dare game for a while before I doze off.. ..
