She Taught Me How to LOVE

Chapter 7

Amber's POV

I wake up with a throbbing head and a nausea. I try to move but I feel an arm around my waist I open my eyes and I see Arson's face close to mine. His eyes are closed and his breathing is slow and steady letting me know that he is still asleep. I close my eyes trying to remember the events of a couple hour's ago. I remember telling Arson about the bucket list and telling him I was going to help him love and I think.. live. Wow I must have been out of it but I don't break promises so looks like I'm sticking to do it. I feel something come up my throat and I quickly stand on my feet moving away from Arson. I run to a tree and start puking all over it when I feel someone hold my hair and stroke my back. It goes on for a while before I finally feel like I'm finished I sit back leaning against it. "Are you okay?" I look at the shadow looming over me.

"Ouch my head hurt's can you not you know talk." He smiles and chuckles leaning down to whisper in my ear I can smell his alluring clone.

"I have aspirin you can take it should help that." I feel glad that he's whispering because my head hurts.

"Thank you what time is it?" I whisper back. He takes out his phone and checks the time.

"It's about 5:00 pm." When he say's that my eyes go wide I slept that long and didn't wake up hungry. As soon as I said that my stomach started to rumble I got a blush from him having heard my stomach. "We'll it looks like someone is hungry." He states while chuckling. "There's a diner like five minutes away from here I can go get some food while you wait for me or you can come." I think about it if I stay out here it wouldn't be so bad but I am trying to keep my promise to Arson about love.

"I'll go with you I really can not wait for food as long as were back by sunset I'm fine."

"You've seen sun set out here before."

"Sunrise and sunset are my favorite times to be out here it helps me clear my mind." He looks awed at my words for some reason."So are we going."

"Ya my bikes just down here." He says avoiding eye contact. We both head the way to his bike when I suddenly get nervous did he say bike."Are you okay you look a bit tense?"

"Ya no I'm okay it's just that I've never been on a bike before."

"Are you scared we can take your car I can drive it if you want."

"No I want to try the bike when else will I get the chance to." He nods his head and passes me the helmet."You're not going to wear one?"

"No I prefer you stay safe rather than I." I was happy with his words so he really did care. When he got on I followed right after."Wrap your arms around my waist like this." Taking my hands he put them around his waist making me scoot closer to him. I could feel his abs through his leather jacket and when he turned the bike on I tightened my hold. His muscles tensed for a moment before they relaxed. He took his feet off the ground and we started moving. I heard opening your eyes while on a bike was a great sight to see so I tried it. "Are your eyes open?" Arson yelled over the roar of the wind.

"Yes they are it's amazing I can get use to this."

"Good to know." With that we didn't talk the rest of the way to the dinner and like he said it was five minutes away. 

When we arrived we were seated by a waitress who was un shamelessly checking Arson out. When ever she could she would glare at me with out Arson knowing. We were sat at a booth and Arson sat facing the door the waitress decided to push her boobs up into Arson's face when she put our menus down. Arson seemed to be oblivious to the attention of the waitress and he kept starring at me. "Can I start you with something to drink" she asked facing Arson and ignoring me. Arson looked at her frowned then looked at me.

"What do you want?"

"Uh a coke, please." Arson nodded his head looking back at the waitress.

"You heard the women make those two please." At that the waitress left a scowl on her face I burs-ted out laughing,

"You would do that." I told him he shoock his head while laughing as well.

"I was getting tired of her staring it was annoying especially if I'm with someone." My heart fluttered at his words and I knew that he really did mean it. The waitress came back with our drinks and when she was in hearing range Arson spoke. "Women I know your horny and if you don't quit complaining I will take you in the bathroom." My face turned red as the waitress seemed to look a bit more irritated. After ordering our food we sat in silence for a while until I spoke.

"Okay first life lesson of the day everything starts with your thoughts." He looks at me puzzled and was about to speak before the waitress show's up with our food. We dig in and finish really fast to make it to the clearing in time for sunset.

We get to the clearing by the time the sun is almost setting. I sit down with my legs to my chest and Arson sit's next to me with his legs extended out. We look out in silence for a while before I start shaking because of the wind nipping at my skin. Arson starts moving and then I feel something being draped over my shoulder's. Arson's sent surrounds me and I knew Arson put his jacket on my shoulder's. "Thanks."

"You welcome." We stay like that not talking in comfortable silence for fifteen minutes.

"What time is it I forgot my phone in my car." He checks the time and sighs.

"It's almost seven." I get up because I know it will take me an hour to get home and my parent's are probably worried. He looks at me while standing up him self dusting off his jeans.

"Well it has been a fun day Arson Bates but I must go." Again he chuckles before answering me.

"Dido Amber Jensen so I'll see you around."

"I have always been here."

"Ya I see that know "he says mumbling. I stand there awkwardly till I feel arms snake around my waist I hear a sigh from above my head as I let one out to. Letting him go was hard but I had to go home. I turned around while stepping out of his embrace and making my way to my car. When I get in I see I have over 40 missed calls on my phone I start my car and drive away smiling about today's events. 

After the hour long trip I step inside my house being met with two angry looking parents. As soon as there about to speak I feel a vile coming up my throat I run to the bathroom and I hear my parents behind me . My dad grabs my hair while my mom is rubbing circles in my back. I throw up for what seems like forever. When I look back up I see my family looking at me with worry. I just threw up for the second time today and I knew it wasn't because of the vodka. I see that Jake is standing in the bathroom doorway while mom and dad are inside the bathroom looking at me on the floor. "Sweetie are you sure it's not...." my mom starts but I cut her off.

"No it's not mom I would know it can't be must be something I eat." All three of them look down at me and they knew I'm lying. Even I knew I was lying to myself but I can't give up hope and I won't.
