Love & Ride

Chapter 19

His eyes darken as soon as I ask my question. I keep staring at him. I don't know if I'm waiting for an answer or for some sort of reaction. Half a minute passes and still nothing.

- "So?" I ask him.

- "Ask something else." He says. He looks like he's trying to stay calm.

- "I only have this question." I answer, seriously worried about what's going on with him.

- "Well I don't have a fucking answer." He increases his voice and leaves the bed suddenly.

He runs his hands through his hair and heads to my window. He just stands there, looking outside, his muscular back facing me.

I start making little steps towards him. I don't really know what I'm doing, which is probably why I'm shaking as I walk.

Tyler's pov:

From all the questions she could've asked me, like if I'm dating someone, what's the thing I fear the most, the thing I love the most or I don't know what bullshit girls love to ask, she chose that question. She wanted the answer that I never gave anybody. How does she do it? She always aims for the most sensitive spots.

I didn't want to explode on her, so I got away to clear my mind. I've always loved looking at the moon and the stars to calm down, and her window has an amazing view. I look down and remember what happened on this exact same spot. I was so confused that night, not that I'm not anymore, but some things are clearer.

Suddenly, I feel a hand on my back. I turn around and see Skyla, her long wavy hair down her shoulders, her beautiful hazel eyes look so bright in the light of the moon. She seems worried and confused. I realize that I have a harsh look and immediately look away.

I breathe deeply and that's when I feel her soft touch going down my back, then up, then to my shoulders. It instantly calms my nerves and it feels so good. Generally, I hate it when people touch me, or even take my hand, but when it comes to Skyla, I want to beg her not to stop.

Her little hand runs up and down my back once and again then leaves my skin. I turn around quickly and take her hand in mine. We look in each other's eyes as I take her hand to my lips and kiss her fingers one by one.

Skyla's pov:

When his lips come into contact with my skin, goosebumps appear all over my arms. I feel my cheeks burning and I want to look down, but I can't. We keep staring into each other's eyes and I feel hypnotised by his deep green eye-balls. They look more like diamonds, sparkling green diamonds.

His lips leave my skin and he intertwines his fingers with mine then makes his way back to my bed and I follow him.

We lie down on our right side, my back against his chest as he puts his right hand against my waist. Isn't that shoulder injured? There was nothing alarming on his back so maybe the pain's gone.

I feel his breath on my back and my heart beats faster and faster. My naked legs touching his. It's so wrong but it feels so right. This position makes me feel so safe, his smell invades all my senses and I never want to leave his arms again. I close my eyes and fall asleep after a few minutes.

***********

- "Rise and shine." I hear someone laugh as I emerge from my sleep.

- "Mom, it's too early." I groan as I adjust my head on my pillow, but wait, it's not my pillow, it's something hard.

I hear a laugh so I look up with half-opened eyes and see a smiling Tyler Hanson. I scream and get away from him.
