Loving River

Loving twenty-five

"I choose you. And I'll choose you, over and over and over. Without pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat. I'll keep choosing you."

Semmy Carson

The exact moment that the bell rang through the halls I rushed out of the classroom inside the hallway within no time.

When I finally found him I ran ever faster, jumping happily into River's arms, feeling his warmth wrapping around my small body; experiencing my addiction to those soft tingles he gave me.

"Wow! Where did this surprisingly happy greet came from?" River laughed loud and lifted me up so I wouldn't trip.

"I just missed you" I giggled shy and snuggled in his warm thrusting arms.

The pleasurable goosebumps rolled over my skin and somehow I forgot how to breathe again. My heart beat went faster as I fell harder in his clear gray eyes that had their way around me, yet I loved it more than anything else in this world.

"You're so adorable Semmy, wanna go home and play FIFA with me again?" He smiled.

"I wouldn't want to have it any other way" I smiled back at him.

"NO! Oh, come on! You cheated again huh?! I swear you did! Freaking cheater.." I pouted defeated the moment I saw the familiar red letters spelling 'game over' on my side of the screen.

"You dork! You just can't take it that you lost from the amazing River Allen!" River smirked and cheered.

"Stupid sports jock!" I huffed and crossed my arms stern.

"Oh, what did you say to me?" He started to challenge me, climbing on top of me and pinning my arms down.

"I said that you are a stupid sports jock!" I scowled and gulped once he closed all the distance between us.

I whimpered as I felt his minty breath against my skin. He was so close to me that I was afraid he could hear my heartbeat. Unconsciously my eyes closed whilst I enjoyed his close presence; he made me breathless without even trying.

"Hmm you are so going to pay for that sexy boy" He murmured low, getting those cheeky twinkles in his eyes.

Stupid red cheeks..

"No Riv-" I started to laugh out loud as he tickled my entire body in a fast pace. "NOO RIVER S-STOP THIIIIIIIS!" I tried to kick him away.

Eventually after what seemed to take for years, he finally stopped and looked at me with that stupid smirk of his.

Such a meanie.

"That was so mean!" I caught my breath and shook my head.

"Oh you love me" He grinned and kissed my lips soft, making me want more of them. "Let me make it up to you" He smirked wider.

I pulled him closer by his shirt and kissed him some longer, feeling our lips moving slowly and softly against each other like two puzzle pieces. Everything inside of me jumped when I felt him smiling, deepening the kiss as I hummed soft.

Nobody ever made me feel this good and this warm. Without him I felt empty and cold, he was the one who completed me and made me feel so good with his kisses. I could kiss him all day long if I had the time for that.

Oh he sure did make it up to me with that kiss.

He broke the kiss and I smiled widely at him when he stared deeply into my eyes. Their grayness became brighter as he gave me the keys to his soul. My heart warmed up and skipped a beat from watching him.

His brown hair was messy since I played with the strands and his lips were red and slightly swollen. How was he so gorgeous? It was inhuman. Especially when he smiled, that's when time stopped ticking.

I drowned further into his soft shiny eyes, loving how he gave me this sudden attention. He took his time to watch over me, take me in and I didn't feel uncomfortable with him staring at me; no it gave me an awesome feeling.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" I asked him shy, trying to contain my breathing since he made me so damn nervous.

What if something was wrong?

It took a while before he responded, but when he did, the stars fell down along with me in this big pink tunnel called love.

My brains were trying to process what he just said. Once it hit me, my heart swelled up with his love and I could feel my eyes getting bigger in excitement.

He loves me.

River Allen, loves me, Semmy Carson who was a nobody.

Butterflies fluttered everywhere and I felt like I could conquer the world with him. He was the one little light I needed in this life and I was happy that it was him all along.

"Oh my g- I love you too!" I gasped soft. "River I love you too!" I squealed happily, jumping into his strong big arms.

He let out his amazing laughter, pulling me closer and attacking my face with his small love filled kisses.

Three magical words was all it took to make someone happy, to change the world into a beautiful place and turning everything around for the better. And that's what River did for me, he made me feel loved and made me change into a different person. He gave me the good side of things; making me enjoy the sound of his heart.

This boy always made me feel safe with him yet sometimes I worried about life. But right now I had nothing to worry about anymore. My parents weren't home a lot and I didn't exactly have friends, but that was all okay.

Because I loved someone deeply and dearly for over years and now, finally, that person loved me back.
