the forgotten child

the heart wants what it wants

Ian's POV

I was waiting for Rains for a while at the park. She owed me for punching Me in the nose. I saw her walking down the path and smiled. I really did like her though.... I know I am a bit confusing aren't I? Well, you know how girls say," Boys are confusing. Why can't they just share their feelings?!" Well we do it for a reason because we don't know if they like us or not. We don't like to be rejected by your own crush so we wait for the girls to come through. You can tell mostly though if they're being a big flirt or not so then we can tell if you like a certain boy or not. You would be lucky enough if a boy shared his feelings with his crush and doesnt get rejected...so yeah. Rains wasn't owing me anything but hanging out with me. It would be romantic. Very romantic.

I saw Jackson stand there smiling...plain silence. I walked over and gave him a fake hug. He let go of me and I gave him a nervous smile. Jackson was much better than yesterday but sometimes I feel like his eyes follow me. Jackson interrupted my thoughts by saying," Rains I truly just want to hang out with you. Nothing else but that." ..... I got confused and asked," Why did you exactly take me here though? I thought you clearly wasn't into me." He sighed and replied back," You don't get it don't you? I'm still way into you Rains. I wanted it to be a special evening for just you and me." I blushed and felt bad for not realizing that he still had feelings toward me. I looked down at his hand and picked it up and held it. He smiled at me and kissed me on the forehead. We walked along looking at the cute happy kids playing. They laughed and played with friends. A little girl his behind a bush smiling and trying not to giggle to let them know she was hiding there. It made me happy to see kids to be having fun. The park was perfect and a great place for romantic couples. At the end of the walk we saw a man bend on one knee and took out a small box. He opened it and asked the woman," Will you marry me?" She put both hands over her mouth and had tears of joy formed out of her eyes while she replied back in shock," Yes, just like, YES!" He put the ring on her finger. They kissed eachother which just made me feel great. Me and Jackson looked at eachother and smiled. He then asked me," Want me to take you home?" I looked up and shook my head. He smiled and said," Dinner at my place." I smiled and followed him to his car. He opened the door for me and I sat down. I got to his house and walked into the living room. No one was home as usual. " How about you go upstairs and rest. When you come back down I promise dinner would be ready," insisted Jackson. I nodded and headed forward to the stairs. I could see him smirking and I could sense his eyes following me as I walked to his room to go lay down. I searched for the remote and saw it on the table. I, with caution, grabbed it and pressed power button. The shiny TV made a " bee-doo" noise. I set the channel to " wives with knives." As soon as one episode went by I had fell asleep.

Ian's POV.....

I was trying my best to find some pasta because I knew Rains loved pasta. I saw no pasta or anything.... That's great. I headedar to my car and then stopped myself. I had to make sure Rains was asleep so I headed upstairs and cracked the door open. I looked at the bed and saw her asleep. She must've been watching TV because " wives with knives" was on. I smiled and turned down the Tv. Rains looked up at me and said in a very whispery voice," Jackson?" I nodded and said," Go to sleep...rest." She nestled her head against the pillow again and shut her beautiful blue eyes. I tip-toed downstairs and picked my keys off the hanger that was against the door. I headed down to my car and saw another car pull into the driveway. Then a head poked out. Rains was in some boy trouble. For sure he knew she was with me. I walked up to the car and then I said," What the he-" he cut me off and got himself out of the car and he said," Where is my Juliet Jackie?" I rolled my eyes and mumbled," big lard." He squinted his eyes and said," Excuse me?" I looked up at him and realized he was so much better looking then he ever was. His hair was matted down to his forehead and he was one bulky guy. He must of took the football coaches advice and worked out. Finally. I could hear his heavy breathing waiting for an answer. " Listen Simone I just need to go to the grocery store and get some... Erm dinner."

" What are you getting?" He asked making me feel nervous. He also knew Rains liked pasta so I had to answer very smartly. " I am going to go get some beef. He he you know me. I love meat!"

Okay, I probably screwed that up. Luckily, he was stupid enough to believe me. " Well okay by the way...is Rains still single?" I shook my head and laughed," Ask her for yourself! I don't know!" I just wanted to mess with him. I got in my car and waited for him to move his car out of the way.

Finally, I got home. I was in a big rush making the pasta. Chicken Alfredo is dinner for tonight. I had finished and that was great.

I woke up smelling the most best thing ever! I got out of bed and stretched. My legs were stiff and I was sweating. I went downstairs almost falling and breaking an arm, but hey maybe my face would save me..... Nope. ( catch the sarcasm?)

(I am to lazy to write about the dinner part because... I dunno really why so I a skipping this part!!!!)
