Summers Passion || r.b.

14. Fireworks

"Giselle!! You have to come with me right now!!" Hannah screams at me while she grabs my hand.

"Haven't you seen that I was busy?" I lie and she raises an eyebrow. "Okay, I wasn't but this is a bit overreacted." I admit.

"Scott told me to call you, he doesn't know what to do. He wants you to clear his mind." Hannah explains to me, getting into the hall of the youth hostel. Isn't Scott sure? We find Scott circling around the room as if he was saying a speech. When he looks at us, we sit in the closest armchairs. 

"The other day you seemed very sure of your decision, what happened?" I ask confused. The other day he seemed so animated and determined that I find it hard to believe that he has changed his mind so quickly from nowhere.

"This morning, my ex sent me a message which I obviuosly didn't answer because all i need is Amy. But Amy has seen it tonight and she thinks that I want my ex back but that's not true and she just pulled me away from her. I don't know what to do." Scott sighs messing with his hair.

"What did your girlfriend's message say?" Hannah asks curiously and Scott takes his cell phone out of his pocket and show us, <I really missed you yesterday>

"She's not here. Her birthday party was yesterday, so she decided it would be a good idea to play me. And Amy didn't want to listen to me."

"Look, Amy loves you, she really does. But she's insecure, one of his ex just dated her so that he could get his ex back and it worked. Amy was broken for weeks, She's probably scared but she really loves you and I know she'll say yes if you explain this to her." I assured him and he embraces us with his strong arms.

"God, no doubt why Amy has chosen this man." Hannah whispers to me once Scott is out, looking for Amy. She's always thinking about boys.

"Speaking of men, how is Tommy?" the silence fills the room up and Hannah just stays silent, probably thinking what she should say. "You can tell me Hannha, we've been friend for years. You know I won't judge you." I assure her taking her hands.

" A few weeks ago, we try to open the relationship, mutual agreement. But he's taking that very seriuosly but I can't tell him now to stop because it was my idea. I want us to be exclusive." Hannah sighs covering her face with her hands because of the embarrassment of the situation.

"Have you tried to talk with him? Maybe he understands it, and if he doesn't, maybe you weren't meant to be together. It sounds hard but i think it's the best option. You can ask Amy her opinion about this, she's more thoughtful." Hannah nods and stands up.

"C'mon, fireworks are about to start and we need to find a good place to watch them." She offer her hand and I take hers. It only take us 5 minutes to find the whole group sitting together. I take a place next to Reece and he puts his arm around my shoulder, bringing my body closer to his.

"Where have you been? I've been looking out for you." Reece whispers in my ears as he's afraid of the others will listen to us.

He doesn't wait for an answer and lowers his lips to my neck, leaving small wet kisses until he makes a small bite, which will surely turn into a hickey. My body responds to his kisses immediately and I feel my breathing quicken when he breathes lightly on my neck, making my hair stand on end. I look at him biting my lower lip and he shakes his head.

"Do not play with fire ..." Reece warns me with his lips a few inches away from mine, looking at them temptingly and without any discretion.

"Maybe I like to play" I bite my lower lip once again and Reece breaks the short distance between us. His lips fit perfectly with mine as if they were meant to be together. With my free hand, I slowly move it from his shirt to the nape of her neck, touching his hair and I smile when I see how his body reacts to my touch.

"Fuck, you're driving me crazy." Reece whispers in my ear with the voice a little more serious than normal, and with it more sexy. "And we'd better stop now, because if I kiss you one more time, I don't think there's going back." Reece whispers on my neck and I close my eyes when I feel his breath on my skin.

"You know, I wouldn't mind doing it while the others are watching." Actually, it would matter to me, but I want to see how far this can go. Reece looks at me with his eyes wide open and I can see how his pupils have expanded when he heard my words. But after a moment, Reece shakes his head and rests his hand on mine.

"If we do it, I want to do it well. Just you and me." I smile at his response and sigh of happiness. This is not a joke for him and part of me is happy because... I think I'm falling in love with him.

There are three minutes left for the fireworks, silence reigned in my expectant group, some of the fireworks and others of the starry night. Scott coughs to get our attention and grabs Amy's hand, who has already apologized for her reaction. Amy looks confused and I nod with my head to continue. He gives a big sigh before speaking, 

"Amy, I know we met a little while ago but I feel like I've known you all my life and I want to keep doing it once we're out of this hotel. Do you want to be my girlfriend?" Scott scratches his neck waiting for a reaction from Amy, who has run out of words. It seems an eternity when she throws herself into his arms, saying yes over and over again.

And just then, the sky lights up in great colors: red, pink, green ... snaking through the sky as if it were shooting stars. The sky is no longer dark, the noise floods our ears and everyone is waiting for the grand finale. Since I was little I've always been a big fan of fireworks, maybe because I've never seen many but the fact that they can light up even the darkest night, makes me hope.

"Make a wish" Reece mumble while he closes his eyes. I close mine thinking about what my dream could be, a lot of things run through my mind like "world peace" and things to do the world a better place. But taking into account that these things aren't up to me, they wouldn't be a good option. I open my left eye and see Reece watching the fireworks fascinated, his eyes reflect the light of the fireworks which illuminates his face. I sigh once before asking for my wish.

The next morning, we all met at the hotel entrance to say goodbye to Scott and Jake. Amy spent the night with Scott and they go down holding hands without fear of being seen by Miss Parker because Amy does not lose anything anymore, he is leaving today. Amy's eyes are bloodshot and her lips swollen from so much biting, trying not to cry. We said goodbye to him and frowned at not finding Jake anywhere.

"Where's Jake, Scott?" I ask him sadly, if he's thinking of leaving without saying goodbye, he will find out what I am capable of.

"He did not want to say goodbye but he gets out right away." Scott assures me and when I see Jake leaves the elevator with the suitcase, I release the air I did not know I was holding and I run to him to give him a hug.

"Don't make it harder to say goodbye please." He asks me looking at my watery eyes but I just can not help it. He embrace me again when I start crying. I feel so safe in his arms. "We'll see each other again, don't worry about that."I break the hug and dry my tears with the palm of my hand. God, I didn't want to cry. 

"You promise?" With a smile, he nods and starts to walk away with his friends.

Suddenly, he turns around "Take good care of her" yells at someone behind me.

And I don't have to look back to know who he's told that to.
