She Taught Me How to LOVE

Chapter 6

Arson's POV

I look over at Amber who is laughing while clutching her stomach. She has drowned half the bottle and I was sober didn't have one drink. I was tempted from taking it and drinking it to but I didn't want my judgment to be bad especially if I have to look out for Amber. I decided that we should play a 21 question game although we lost count of how many questions we asked. I knew her favorite color was red and a whole bunch of other little things after each question she would drink. "Okay Amber who was your first." I say trying to get her attention from the squirrel she was laughing at. Looking at me she tilts her head to the side like a puppy which she looks adorable doing.

"I haven't had my first kiss so no one I guess." I was shocked she was beautiful and any guy would want her.

"So your a virgin to huh?"

"Ya, saving it for the one I love how about you."  I know she is drunk because she starts slurring her words and she dosen't remember I'm Healsburgs man whore.

"No I'm not." She looks at me frowning a little and for the first time I feel a bit disappointed that I had slept with as many girls as I did looking into her eyes.

"So you lost it to the one you loved?" I start to laugh and she frowns deeper.

"No I don't love anyone I just lost it."

"Then what was the point of having sex." I scratch the back of my neck a bit un comfortable at the situation but remember she's drunk.

"I think about it as an activity full of pleasure you can say."

"You should feel love not pleasure because love is better than pleasure it last longer it's a pleasure that lasts forever."

"What are you going to do make me fall in love." I state remembering what Cleo said in the hallway.

"No I cant' teach you only you can but I can help you along the way."

"Oh ya and how are you going to do that?" I raise my eyebrow at her challenging her to correct my theory of love.

"Know what's the fun in that I can't tell you it think of it as love it's an emotion full of surprises."

"Fine you can try to teach me but I won't learn anything you'll just waist your time."

"No one can ever waste time with you Arson even if you don't believe it." She starts yawning and I am awestruck at her words.

"So what is it" I ask.

"What is what."

"Your bucket it list if you want to teach me how to love then I want to teach you how to have fun."

"Um.. Okay but I have to teach you how to live then."

"I know how to live and I only get to teach you one thing."

"Not the correct way but yes I have to tell you my bucket it list really personal you know." I look at the bottle in her hands and she sighs before taking a drink. "I think I'm going to be sick." Closing her eyes for a second she looks at me "I'm not going to forget this I promise you." 

"Fine I will let you try to teach me how to love and live so out with the list."

"Okay

1. Release a paper Lantern.

2. Zip line over the ocean.

3. Try drinking

4.Skinny dipping

5. Loose my virginity/first kiss

6.Go to a drive in theater

7.Get a tattoo

8.Jump off a pier

9.Get a piercing

10.Find the love of my life and love them until I die."  Her list was full of things that seemed so simple to me but a lot to her. I mean she was Amber nothing was simple about her especially from her words.

"Okay so drinking is off the list and your probably to drunk to do anything else today so let's leave it at that." She looks tired now and I know it should be about 9 am and she's drunk really early. She starts swaying a little until she falls over and I reach my arms out to catch her. When I grab her in my arms she snuggles closer taking a deep breath. I tense at first I don't like the feeling of someone close up to me. When I have sex I usually avoid the whole cuddling part but after a second I relax with her in my arms. Her breathing starts to slow down and I know she is tired.

"Hey Arson." She whispers

"What."

"Everyone has a heart and your's just happens to be the one I want to save."

"What does that mean." I know I have a puzzled face at her words.

"You'll find out soon if you stay..goodnight." I wait for a while just staring at her face admiring how she looks beautiful even when she is sleeping.

"I'm never leaving your side Amber I'll be right here just look for me." I kiss her forehead while I lay down with her in my arms this felt right and I hope she keeps her promise to me about finding love I know it will be worth it.
