Chapter Six
My eyes open slowly, squinting as I try to adjust to the bright light streaming through my windows directly into my eyes. I must have forgotten to close the curtains last night. I roll over and face my iHome which I keep next to my bed. It's just past six, I roll out of bed and head to my closet.
I pull out some joggers and a t-shirt and make my way to the bathroom. I brush my teeth and pull my hair into a high pony tail before washing my face and changing into the clothes. I go back intomy room and grab my iPhone and earbuds before going downstairs and outdoors. It's early and a nice Saturday morning, why not take a run?
I start my run and make my way down the street and towards the park, I power on my phone and scroll through my phone and find a song I like and put it on.
I'm backseat to your freeway
This could never be safe
Cause, I might get lost in you
I'm just a little bit defeated
I've got my reasons
One being you're just passing through
You know I love you but I'm
Feeling afraid, you never say
One thing to keep me holding on
You push me away
Why do you lie beside me?
When you never have time
And you're fine without me?
And I, think it's pretty unlikely,
That the words on your mind
Could ever inspire me
To stay and love the way we are
To stay and love the way we are
Every time you are lonely
Why am I the only one
You come running to
Got me saying that "I love you"
When I know that the truth is
You could trade me for something new
You keep me hanging like you're
So unaware, you're never there
you should know better but you don't
And it's never fair
Why, do you lie beside me,
When you never have time
And you're fine without me
And I, think it's pretty unlikely,
That the words on your mind
Could ever inspire me
To stay and love the way we are
To stay and love the way we are
I must have gotten lost in the music because next thing you know, I bump into something and am flat on my back. I groan and sit up a bit and look to see it wasn't something I bumped into but someone.
"I'm so sorry! Are you okay- Raya?" He says looking at me quzzically before it disappears and is replaced with a small grin, "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention." he offers me his hand, I take it gratefully and give him a smile.
"Neither was I. Sorry about that, Liam." I say laughing a bit, I dust myself off and turn off my iPhone where music was still playing into the headphones and stuffed it into the pocket of my joggers.
"What are you doing out this early? Especially on a weekend?" Liam asks me.
"I fancied a run," I say shrugging a bit. He looks around a bit awkwardly before facing me once more.
"I was just about to grab some coffee, care to join?" He asks politely.
"I don't want to intrude-" he cuts me off.
"I insist," he says smiling.
"Well in that case, I would love too." I smile and we walk towards the nearest Starbucks.
You'd think getting coffee with your maths teacher would be weird but truthfully it was fun. We talked about different things, school, hobbies, family, my life back in Cardiff. When we finally got there, Liam asked me what I wanted and I got us a table near the back.
He came back about a minute later and handed me my drink, he sat down opposite me.
"I forgot money this morning but I'll pay you back monday," I say, feeling bad that he paid.
"No worries," he says noncholantly, taking another sip of his drink.
"You sure?" he nods and I smile before taking a sip of my frappachino.
We talk some more, about random things from favorite colors to movies we've recenly seen but are interupted by my phone ringing. I pick it up without checking the name.
"Hello?"
"Raya-Adaria Parks! Where are you?" My mother says from the other end of the line.
"Well, ugh-"
"No note! No text, nothing! It's almost nine now! I thought you'd be sleeping and now you have NIall waiting for you! A-"
"Mum, calm down! I'm fine, I just went for run and bumped into someone I knew, I went for coffee. No biggie." I say interupting her rant, LIam gives me a look, I mouth to him that its my mum, he seems to understand, "Did you say Niall is there?"
"Yes! The poor boy's been here for about ten minutes now! Remember, you too had plans today?" she replies, oh shit! I totally forgot.
"No worries, mum, I'll be home in about twenty minutes, just give him something to eat and he'll be fine," I say hurridly before she says goodbye and hangs up.
I look at Liam apoligetically, "I'm sorry but I have to head home!"
"It's alright Raya, it was nice talking today." he says kindly to me, I smile before getting up from my seat. He stands as well and we walk over to the trash can and we throw out our empty cups. We walk out of the warm shop and say goodbye. Liam gives me a quick hug before he runs off in the direction of town.
On my way home, I couldn't get his aroma, the way his arms were around me, and the way he talked out of my head. And I have to admit, I didn't really want it to leave.
