In Return For - B.Gray

I was sitting in my dorm I had with Lila on campus when I heard a knock. I sprung off my bed, pressing the space bar on my computer, and headed towards the door.

I open it to see Blake, standing there with a smile spread wide. Seriously? I had to answer a door like this?!

I was wearing really short shorts that were covered by my oversized shirt and my hair was put up in a really messy bun which strands of hair flying out everywhere.

I was having an amazing time watching classics, and I was in the middle of rewatching Legally Blonde, and here we are now.

"Hey Blake.. w-what are you doing here?" I ask, stuttering.

Oh please, I couldn't stop that. Blake was one of the most good looking guys in this school. Now let's think about it logically.

How would I, talk with one of the hottest guys in school who is in front of me, while I looked like shit? It's terrifying.

"Well I wanted it to be your first lesson today," he says smiling.

"Right now? Can't you see I'm comfy?"

"Oh shut up," he laughs, stepping in.

"Blake, can we do this later?" I huff and dramatically flop into my bed.

"No, get your ass up, we're having a good time today,"

"But I am having a good time," I pout, drawing out the words more.

"Get up, Kelsey!" And with that I'm pulled up by his hands.

"Now, lets get you ready, we are going for a ride," he says.

I go take a quick shower and put on denim jeans and an off shoulder top, with some white converse and follow Blake out of my dorm.

"Hey Lils, I'll be gone for a while, I'll see you later?" I ask Lila who just walked in. "Oh yeah have a nice time," she says winking at me when Blake isn't looking.

"Hey, I don't think we've met, I'm Blake," he smiles to Lila.

"I'm Lila, nice to meet you. I just need to make sure since I'm the dad of this house, you'll have her back before 10?" She asks appearing to be strict.

"Yes sir," Blake plays along.

"No but all jokes aside, she better be home before 10. I gave her a rape whistle, can of pepper spray, and a taser. Watch your back, Blake," she says and Blake stays stunned.

Lila and I have been best friends since grade 3 when she scared of some mean girls that were yelling at me for the way I dressed.

Okay, I'll admit, I didn't have the best style in clothing at that age. But I was a kid! Who could blame a third grader for liking LEGO friends?

Anyway, when Lila came in and stopped them, I payed her back with my mom taking us to a Froyo shop.

Ever since then, we hung out often and I loved her. Lila always came to my rescue. Whether it was breakups with boys or small issues with my brother, Lila always had my back with a spoon and a pint of Ben and Jerry's ready.

Another thing about Lila, she didn't fall for guys' charm. She stood up for whatever she believed in, and was the most badass person I had ever met.

Safe to say, god handed me the best friend one could ask.

"Uh.. yeah Lila, you don't need to worry about anything," he stutters to which we both laugh.

Blake glares at us and flips Lila the finger. "Oh come on Blake. Anyway, I don't want to keep you two, have a nice time, bye," Lila waves us off and we make it to his car.

Did I say car? I meant his bike— which I am most definitely not riding.

"Are you serious?" I ask, standing at one spot.

"Come on, Kelsey, you'll enjoy the ride," he says with a sly smirk.

I huff to some what relax my nerves and hesitantly nod, gaining a large smile from Blake. "That's my girl, now come on, let's get going," he says taking a helmet and undoing the clip on it.

"Where's yours?" I ask as he is about to place it on my head. "I don't have an extra— but don't worry, it'll be fine," he says as if he read my thoughts.

He placed the helmet on my head and clipped it under my chin causing me breath to hitch. His fingers stayed there longer than usual and I worried what could happen from there.

Hanging out with Blake Gray has taught me one thing: just because he is nice and a bit touchy, doesn't mean he likes you.

And even though I've made that clear in my head, I can't help but feel the way I feel. Plus what annoys me the most, is I can't stop it— one bit.

We sit in the bike and he takes my hands and places them on his ribcage. "I'm serious here Kelsey, don't let go," he whispered in my ear.

I wasn't planning on it.

"You ready?" He asks, probably laughing at my heavy breathing. "Maybe," I speak on his shoulder and he starts the engine.

"Lesson number 1: always, put your hands up on a rollercoaster,"

And with that he starts driving. "I'm not gonna force you into anything, but if you wanna have a fun time, put your hands up," he says and increases his speed.

It was terrifying, to say the least, I was more scared then ever. But this deal was made to teach me how to live vicariously, so I do it. I remove my hands from him and I put them up, as he lets out a laugh. "Yes! That's more like it!"

"Where are we going?" I ask, yelling a bit so he can here me.

"Just wait," he yells back. As we stop near a red light, I return my hands to their spot on his body and he sits up straighter to take a break.

His hands go over mine and I feel butterflies all over. A very tingly feeling. His hands warmed mine and I wondered why he did in the first place.

But then cut out any ideas I got in my head, remembering he probably did this to all girls he took on his bike.

When he started driving again, it took a while but we finally reached to where he wanted to take me.

He put his hands on my eyes and led me, step by step, when finally he removed them and placed his hands on my arms and bent down to meet my ear.

His breath was evident on my shoulder and I could imagine his smirk. "How's that for a view?" He huskily whispers.

I look at the view from the Hollywood sign in front of me and take in a sharp breath. "So beautiful," I say looking in awe at view in front of me.

"Sure is." He says but his eyes remained on me as I turned.

I cleared my throat and turned back to face away from Blake. "So didn't I say nothing illegal?" I ask, grinning.

"And didn't I say no promises? You should've seen this coming, Kelsey," he smirks and I nod.

I really should've.
