Love like no other

Chapter 14

RUBY POV:

I looked at her in disbelief. Was she serious?

"What you mean? You've never been in a relationship?" I asked again not really believing it.

She looked down embarrassed "No I haven't."

"How's that even possible? You're....I mean you're just amazing and beautiful." I tell her running my eyes over her body, from her dark hair , which turned curly from the water , and down to her wrinkled clothes that' cling to her body. How could she never have been in a relationship? Was she not interested in anyone?

She looked at me and licked her lips "Well I don't know if you've noticed or not but I'm a big flirt, and flirting is usually what gets me in trouble at times. I don't ever mean any trouble by it. I just like watching girls blush." She says laughing lightly. I give her a light smile in return.

"So my flirting  makes it look like I'm some player or something but I'm not. I've never had a relationship Because I was busy focusing on other things like my music. I was fine just flirting and making my fans faint just by a simple face gesture." She laughed again and I chuckled, imagining it. I actually believe people fainted cause of her. I wondered what the gesture was?

"So is that why then? You just wasn't interested in anyone?" I asked. There was a wind now that it was getting darker and later. It was drying our clothes, but it was making us cold. I shivered causing Seiya to notice, so she moved closer to me so our shoulders was touching.

"If you've never dated then how do you know to flirt so well?" I asked while absorbing her body heat.

"Well I don't know really,I'm just myself and I like to joke around. Sometimes my jokes even come off as flirting." She says shrugging and I shake my head.

"Wow everyone usually likes or falls in love at least once." I say thinking about my own relationships. Of course not any of them have worked out so far but they weren't bad. I'm still glad I experienced them.

"Well.....I have been in love.....once." She trails off sadly. I looked at her and swallowed,feeling the pain in her voice.

"What happened?" I gasped quietly, wondering silently if I even wanted to know. She shrugs.

"Nothing that's the thing. I never really stood a chance with her."

"Why not?. Was she popular or rich or something?"

"No she was straight and taken already." I gasped shocked and stared at her wide eyed. She stared at me and chuckled at my expression.

"It wasn't love at first sight or anything. It just kind of happened gradually. We were friends first and of course I flirted and teased her constantly. Until one day I just realized that I was in love with her. Of course I was aware that she had a boyfriend but he was never around because he was in college I guess.She always made it seem like everything was ok,but it didn't fool me. I remember her crying in the rain on the rooftop of our school to me in anguish because she wasn't receiving phone calls or letters from him. All I could do was ask her 'Am I not good enough?' Only to get a shocked blank look from her. I knew it was stupid to even try , but I hate giving up and I honestly thought I was better for her then him. In the end she could only promise me friendship and nothing else because she loved him. So who was I some girl to try to interfere with that,so I let her go." Seiya trailed off quietly and I looked at her surprised to see tears running down her cheeks. I stopped her ,turning her to face me.

"Hey it's ok." I say gently skimming my thumb over her wet cheeks, my heart aching for her pain. She looked down hastily wiping my eyes.

"Sorry I don't know where that came from." She says not looking at me. I placed my fingers under her chin to lift it and meet my face.

"Don't apologize, you loved her. We can't really pick who we fall in love with." I say chuckling.

"I guess you're right it's just I'm still trying to get over her even after eight years, I know that sounds pathetic but I think that's part of the reason I haven't dated anyone. I'm willing to try now because I know it's not healthy to be stuck on someone like that but I can't help it." She replies sniffing.

"Well you never truly forget your first love but if you could move on and learn the experience ,then it will help you later on." I say trying to give the best advice that I can. It's not like I have a lot of luck with love either. She sniffs one more time, then nods and smiles. I can see a little of the sadness leave her eyes.

"Thanks for listening to me be a crybaby." She replies giggling. I smiled at her.

"No problem, anytime." I reply. Seiya smiles even wider again, then real swiftly she leans in and kisses my cheek. She pulled back quickly but I could feel my cheek tingling from where her lips were on my cheek. I was a little shocked because she initiated that kiss on her own. All I could do was blush and smile at her like a idiot. She just laughed and pulled us along. "Uh I just have one more question if you don't mind me asking?" I told her. I could see an opening in the trees, so we were almost out. Seiya nodded still looking ahead

"Sure go ahead."

"What was her name?" I asked curiously.

".......Serena."
