I Want To Know What Love Is (book2)

I want to know what love is

🎵 I gotta take a little time, a little time to think things over
I better read between the lines, in case I need it when I'm older
Now this mountain I must climb, feels like the world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine, it keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far to change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is, I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is, I know you can show me🎵

The fight was over as quickly as it began. Billy knocked him on his ass and grabbed my arm pulling me away. "Just because she fucked you once months ago in California doesn't mean she will again." Tommy shouts down the hallway. "She's a fucking tease man, and your just a whore."

The hallway remains silent as billy and I exit the school and make our way across the parking lot to his camero. Neither of us speaking as he backs out of the parking lot. "You okay?" He asks not looking at me. I nod my head yes and just stare out the window.

"How did Tommy know we hooked up this summer?" I ask after a few minutes of silence. I turn to face a quiet billy. He says nothing but bites down on his bottom lip.

"He was running his mouth about hooking up with you, I may have bragged a bit.." he shakes his head frowning. "Can I show you something?" He asks hopefully.

"Mmhm." I whisper glancing back out the window. Billy drove out of town and down a hidden gravel road. An unfamiliar road which was odd seeing as how I've lived here most of my life. "Where are we going?" I ask as he gets to the end of the road turning the car off. I glance around slightly apprehensive. Billy just smiles.

"Do you trust me?" He asks opening his door. I shrug my shoulders.

"You haven't given me a reason not to." I reply causing him to grin.

Billy's P.O.V

"I was thinking, we could have an actual date." I say grabbing her hand and pulling her from the passenger seat. Helenas eyes twinkle and she grins. I smile before leading her to the trunk of my car and grabbing out my little stereo and a blanket before I start to lead her down the hidden path at the edge of the small gravel road. I tightly hold her hand so she wouldn't trip on the barely there path.
It only takes a few minutes before I find the clearing I'm looking for and she gasps delighted.

"What is this place?" Her voice asks in wonder. I glance around at the scenery. We were ontop of a small cliff overlooking a lake.
I shrug my shoulders honestly having no clue what lake this was. "How did you find this place?" She asks walking over to the edge of the cliff. I lean over and set the blanket down on the ground and turn the stereo on. My mix tape playing.

"A few weeks ago, when I first got here.. well one night Max pissed off neil and like usual he took it out on me.. I ended up driving all night, taking random paths and unmarked roads and stumbled upon this little gem.. " I say fidgeting with my nails. I'm not sure why I suddenly felt extremely embarrassed telling her this.

"It's beautiful." She says walking back towards me and sitting down on the blanket. "Thank you.. by the way." I cock my head to the side confused.

"For what?" She smiles and I can't help but notice how the sunlight bounces off her red hair, making her look even paler than normal. A dusting of freckles across her nose.

"For standing up for me to Tommy, and Carol, and well everybody." She says with a blush. I shake my head.

"No I shouldn't have bragged too Tommy, like you said it wasn't my business to tell." I say with a frown. She smirks at me but says nothing.

I gotta take a little time, a little time to think things over
I better read between the lines, in case I need it when I'm older

I stare at her for another moment in comfortable silence before holding my hand out to her. She cocks and eyebrow and I smile. "Dance with me." I say. I notice her face reddening in the cutest blush and she nods her head interlocking our fingers and standing up.

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far to change this lonely life

I wrap my arms around her waist and she puts her hands on my shoulders. We lightly sway to the music. "Who knew you could be such a romantic." She says playfully. I groan and shake my head.

" don't ruin it." I tease.

I wanna know what love is, I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is, I know you can show me, oh

"I love this song." She whispers against my neck. Goosebumps spread across my arms. It was my favorite song, not that I would admit that to anyone, and the fact that I know she loves it make me like it even more. She starts lightly humming along to it and my fingertips start to trace light circles across her lower back. "In my life there's been heartache and pain. I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far, to change this lonely life. I wanna know what love is, I want you to show me. I wanna feel what love is, I know you can show me" I sing along and dip her down. She giggles and flashes me the cutest smile showing off her dimple. I slowly lift her back up and lean my head down pressing my lips against hers. It feels like an electric current buzzing through my veins.

Helenas P.O.V

The second his lips press against mine my body comes alive. This is possibly the most romantic moment of my entire life and I absolutely love that it's with Billy. I take my right hand off of his shoulder and tangle it in the back of his hair playing with curls there. It happens so quickly that I barely register what's going on when I realize that we're no longer dancing and that we are lying down on the blanket. Billy's hovering over top of me and kissing me hungrily. His fingertips lightly tracing along my neck.
