I Mean It

Ch (8) Snowflake

On our way to my sister's house, Jared and I kept laughing and talking.

"So, what do you study?" Jared asked.

"Dentistry, what about you?"

"Biomedical engineering."

"Interesting, what made you choose that?"

A flash of a skeptic emotion played on his face, although as fast as it came, it went.
"My girlfriend and I graduated together from school and wanted to continue together in our life. So, we chose biomedical engineering to study together."

By the end of his sentence, he had a sad expression on his face.
"What's wrong? You look upset." I asked.

"I just feel like she's keeping something from me. She always acts so awkward around me and sometimes gets mad at me for no reason."

"Oh. Have you tried talking to her about it."

"I tried, but she keeps on avoiding the questions and changes the subject."

There was an awkward pause between us because I didn't know what to say, but then he just half-smiled and said: "I'm sorry, to put down the mood, but I just wanted to confess to someone how I feel."

I smiled back. "Don't worry, it's fine."

After that, we didn't talk much and I ended up sleeping.

I was on a motorcycle and I was going fast.
There was someone that felt like a girl clutching on to me from the back. She was laughing and screaming at the same time. I was laughing too. I pulled over on her house and she got up, removing her helmet. She was so beautiful and eerily familiar. But, I just couldn't spot where I have seen her.

"That was fun!" She said her, wild blue eyes blazing with excitement.

"Ohh, Raquel, it would've been fun if you weren't screaming in my ear the whole time."I said, smiling sheepishly.

"Shut up! Damnit! You're always looking on the dark side of things." She replied as she playfully hit my arm. I caught her arm and pulled her towards me, resting my other hand and placing it on her tiny thing of a waist. Her breath hitched as I came closer to her delicate face. Our lips barely touching.

I crossed the remaining distance between us and kissed her sweetly. She wrapped one hand on my neck and the other played with my hair. My hands travelled up and down her back.

The sweet kiss slowly turned into a passionate one. We pulled back and she looked at me from under her lashes and bit her lip. Her cheeks were slowly turning red.

I kissed her on the cheek quickly before turning around and walking to the motorcycle.

"Wait!"

I turned around and found her running towards me. She hugged me tightly and I hugged her back.

"What do you want, snowflake?"

She pulled back to see my face. Her eyes looking into mine intently.

"Take me away."

"Wakey, dreamy boy." I heard a distant voice talk.

"What? Where am I? Who are you

"I am mister Jared Andrews, your personal chauffeur. You have arrived at your castle." I recognized Jared's voice.

"Just shut up." I said, trying to make sense of what I was doing and then realized that we have arrived at my sister's house.

"But really, we arrived. You slept for the last 30 minutes and it looks like you slept for the last fifty years."

"Didn't I say shut up." It was sunset and the weather was warm. "Thanks for the ride, man, I owe you."

"Oh don't worry, what time do I come pick you up?"

"Don't, I'm sleeping over. But thanks anyway." I said as I was exiting the car.

"Anytime, bye."

"Bye" I shut the door and watched the car stop a few blocks away at what I assumed was his aunt's house.

I rang the bell and waited. I stayed there for 2 minutes and then rang again and knocked loudly...nobody.

I called Nicole but it went straight to voicemail. I didn't even have Chandler's number. I leaned against the door hoping to hear some sort of noise that proved that they were there...nothing. As I was pulling back, I heard a faint noise. I went closer to the open barred window and heard someone screaming.

"GET OFF ME YOU BASTARD!" Nicole's voice rang through my ears and I knew one thing for sure:

I had to break the door.
