Loving River

Loving twenty-eight

"When someone else's happiness is your happiness, that is love"

Semmy Carson

"What?! So you are dating the River Allen now?!" Jax gasped in utter shock, looking with big colored eyes towards my direction.

"I think I am.." I giggled innocent, still not believing it myself.

I could call River Allen my boyfriend..

He's mine..

Mine..

It seemed to be unreal since I've been in love with him from the very first time that he helped me against my bully when we were little, the moment I saw his face; that was it. I may have not realized it back then, but it was love at the first sight.

He made me happy without even trying to and he had the power to make me experience feelings that nobody else could give me. Always thinking it was unrequited, but instead, he fell for me too. And I was only drowning further into the pink pool of love.

"You know.. He's actually jealous of you" I laughed soft. "The silly doesn't even need to be! Cause I've been in love with him for over years! In love with who he was, the way he smiled at me and genuinely cared for everyone. And how he looked at me, turning our world into slow motion which gave me the time to take him in. All I could think about was him.. It's him.. It has always been him.." I blushed, day dreaming about my boyfriend.

My body was craving for his warmth around me as I loved pleasuring him back with raking my hands through his brown soft hair. And I missed the taste of cherries in my mouth, some times it even lingered on my tongue for hours.

Whenever I was in his comforting presence I always fell over and over again in the gray mountain eyes, feeling myself getting lose inside his soul.

Not that I mind to get lost with him..

He made me feel good about who I was, I was barely afraid with him next to me. Instead I felt like climbing the highest trees and falling down the moutains. I was careless with him.

We filled one another and clicked a key and lock.

"Awe.. you look like a love sick puppy right now.."

Tell me about it..

"Do not tease me! River is already enough for that" I blushed more, looking shy to my hands.

"I won't!" He laughed loudly with happy eyes. "Really, I knew how hung up you were over him. I'm glad you two figured it out. I ship it! Siver for the win!" He grinned cheekily.

"Awe.. You are the sweetest friend Jax!" I blushed, smiling widely at him and pulling him in a big hug. "We are friends right?"

"Of course! Why are you even asking idiot!" He smiled, tightly hugging me back.

"I didn't really have friends before.. Besides Riv.." I admitted, shrugging it off.

I've always been alone. My parents found their work more important than their child. At elementary school I got bullied and now on high school there is still nobody who wanted to be my friend.

But now I got River and Jax.

I'd rather have real friends than having fake friends.

"They don't know what they miss Sem!" He smiled genuine, making me feel better. "You are amazing just the way you are!"

My smile was unstopable until I saw the mean potato walking towards our table.

"Lucille.." I murmured.

"Samuel.." She spat back, looking at me with evil eyes.

"What do you need?" I asked, crossing my arms.

"You leave River alone! Do you hear me? He's mine!" She glared, slamming her hands on the table.

"He broke up with you, accept it!" Jax stood up for me, also glaring back at her.

"I warn you Samuel! You think you can turn him into some fag? You are a disgrace! He will find out soon enough" She sneered at me, looking freaky with so much make up.

It's August. Halloween is in October.

"Hey! Leave my boyfriend alone!" River stepped in, grabbing Lucy her arms.

My heart melted when he called me that, defending me whilst the entire school was watching like some drama addicts.

"You are mine! You love me, not him Rivie!" She whined, throwing herself at him.

"How many times do I need to tell you that we are done! You leave Semmy alone! If you touch or insult him one more time I swear-" He stopped his angry argument and looked at me.

"Come on babe, let's go" He softened up and smiled. "She isn't worth the time and effort"

"She really is a stupid potato.." I whispered at him.

"Oh Sem.. you are too funny" He laughed soft, greeting Jax as he took me to the hallways.

"Bye Jax!" I waved before we left.

And this is exactly what I meant. I had nothing to worry about with this boy. He cared and loved me, he would help me through everything no matter what.

"Was it fun with Jax?" He asked, I could still hear that something was off about his voice.

"Babe, stop" I smiled when he stopped walking. I took his face in my hands and looked deep into his gray orbs. "There is no need to be jealous okay? He is my friend, but you are my boyfriend. Do not think you'll lose me. If so, it should be the other way around.. I mean, look at you! Everyone is head over heals for you.. What if I lost you?" I told him, meaning what I said.

"I'm sorry.. You are just so gorgeous and I don't like that someone else can take interest in you.. I want you for myself, but I trust you and I want you to make good friends.. And no, no you will not lose me! We are best friends for fourteen years! I am not planning on leaving you. I love you, with every single muscle, cell and bone in my body" He whispered soft so only I could listen whilst he took my hands in his.

"Don't worry, you won't lose me either. I love you too Riv.. For ever" I smiled at how soft he looked in this moment, this boy gave me the damn chills and butterflies inside of me.

"Now, you wanna skip school and go get some ice cream with me?" The cheeky boy asked while laughing his wonderful laugh.

Oh hell yeah..
