We Are Out Of Each Others Leagues

Chapter Eight

Mason's pov:

Chad was driving so I know his eyes will be on the road. I look back to Riley and she was staring out of the window with her earphones in her ears, listening to some music. 

I wish I can just tell her that the other night was what I wanted. She took me by surprise when she said she is still a virgin. I didn't expect that since she always jokes around with her dad and brother about her having a boyfriend and having sex. I thought that she would have at least done it once or twice.

But I guess it was her way of getting her brother and dad off her back. Not that it bothers me that she is one. I actually am glad she is still one. I guess her having a boyfriend is not true as well. Which made me happy. She probably thinks I'm using her. But that's not true at all. I just don't know how I should handle this whole situation.

Her brother is my best friend and it will complicated things for us. And not to mention how he would be so mad if he finds out about us. I know he would be mad. I've known him most of my life. But I can't stop what I feel for Riley. My feelings for her is strong. Very strong.

She looks up at me and she caught me staring. She stares a while and then she looks down. She sighs then she looks back out the window.

"Are you excited for this summer, dude?" Chad snap me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah." I said. 

"I met this hot girl last night online. She lives in Los Angles somewhere. I'm gonna ask my mom if we can invite her and her friend over later to come watch some movies with us. What do you think?"

"Yeah. Sounds great." Not that I want to be with another girl. I haven't been with one ever since I kissed Riley at that party a year ago. 

But I know Chad won't take me saying no for an answer. I'll just pretend I'm into the girl like I always do and make up a story again saying I'm not feeling well or something. I know it is not always the best thing to blow off girls like this. But my heart is set on only one girl. 

And for her I would do anything. I would walk through fire for her if I have to. She has got this heart of mine pretty good. She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. So pure and real. That's exactly what I want in a girl. Everything she is. I want her. I want her badly. I know it will be complicated. But I want her more than anything in this world. No one else. Just her. 

For me she is the most perfect girl in the world. No one can compare to what she has. 

I look back to her and her eyes was closed, she was curled up in a bundle. I take it she's taking a short nap. She looks like an angel. The sun caught her hair just right, making her hair shine like a star. 

Chad keeps talking about our plans for the summer and I just pretend I'm hearing everything and nod when it is necessary to. But I don't want to pretend anymore with Riley. I want to tell her how I feel and that it is her I want. I don't want to hurt her. I don't want to give her the wrong idea of this whole thing. I just need to get her alone without Chad being around to tell her. I don't know how cause Chad obviously want to include me in his plans. But I guess I got these two weeks to plan how to tell her and when I can get her away from everything and just say what I feel for her. 

I'm done playing games like this with her. I need to act up and tell her. Before she loses interest and get someone else. That will crush me if that happens. I won't be able to be around if she has someone else. My heart is not strong enough for that.
