That Man

/3/

This is Riley

     Riley and I spend the rest of Sunday watching movies and eating a shit load of junk food. While doing that, I can't stop but think of David each second.

     The man literally swept me off my feet in a heartbeat and I've never felt this much attraction towards a guy ever. Especially this fast into it. I really only met the guy yesterday and now I'm hooked on him. As I'm thinking about him, I'm snapped out of my hazy daze when Riley talks.

     "Earth to Stella" she waves her skinny fingers in my face causing me to blink rapidly.

     I shake my head to get back into focus. "Yes"

     "I asked if I can have some Cheetos, so can I?" she asks.

     I hand over the bag to her trying to focus now. "My bad"

     She pops a few into her mouth before looking over at me. "Are you thinking about him?" She jolts up waiting for me to answer.

     I shake my head in denial. "No" I scoff.

     Riley tilts her head in disbelief, taking me as a full of shit liar I'm guessing. "I will slap you right now for lying to me" she threatens.

     I drop my head down finally confessing the truth. "Okay okay, I was" I look away from her, not wanting to show her my embarrassment.

     Instead she simply awes in a childish voice causing me to cringe. "That is so cute" She nudges me. "Text him" she demands changing her voice fast.

     I give Riley a dead look into her green eyes as if she's mental. "You're joking?" I ask hoping she is.

     Riley sits there with a very serious intimidating face obviously not joking. "Text him" she says in a stern voice.

     I start to shake my head fast. "Your crazy I'm not texting that man" I grab the bag of Cheetos from her lap and start shoving a handful into my mouth.

     "Why not?" She asks while snatching the Cheetos out of my hand.

     "Uhm because" I reply back while also grabbing my Cheetos back from her.

     "Oh come on Stella. It isn't hard. All you have to do is text the man. Your acting like your about to talk to him in person" she states.

     I stop my crunching and think about it. She does have a point I guess. Maybe texting him won't be too bad. "Okay" I give in. I pull out my phone and look through my contacts.

     When I see his name my heart skips a beat. "I don't know about this" I try to back out of the plan.

     Riley huffs and rolls her eyes. "Fine" she does the worst and snatches my phone from my firm grip, rushing fast to the restroom.

     "Oh my god" I yell, starting to panic.

     Riley swings open the door and shuts it fast behind her. I run to the door trying my hardest to open it, but can't because she has locked it.

     "I will help you Stella trust me" she says behind the door.

     "This isn't right" I pout. "I can't believe your forcing this. I don't even like the guy" I lie.

     "Bullshit my ass you don't" she shouts. "Okay I sent him the text" she finally opens the door handing me back my phone.

     I instantly roam my eyes all over the phone.

Me: hey, it's Stella

     I close my eyes thanking God Riley didn't type something else more disturbing. "I can't believe you've done this" I shake my head in disbelief.

     Riley starts laughing to herself loudly while shoving a handful of chips into her mouth. "You'll thank me" she mumbles while staring at the TV.

     While slowly walking back to the couch I hear a ring. I look down to my phone to see a message from David.

David: hey, how are you today? Hope your feeling better.

     I seriously can't believe I'm about to text a 20 something year old man on my phone. I can't help but feel a little guilty, but at the same time aroused by this. For now I will be shutting off the negative things going on in my head and focus my attention to the good things for me.
