"Nashia!"
"Hello Ryan!" I breathed with as much courage I could muster.
"Dear dear Nashia. We meet again. Out so late, I see. Again, not the best of circumstances huh?" sarcasm so clear in his tone.
"I have to go Ryan," I stepped aside from him and continued to walk through the empty roads.
"Where do you think you're going? I'm not done," his tone made every muscle in my body freeze.
He grabbed my hand, pulled me back and pushed me against the wall, both hands on either side of the wall closing every chance of my escape.
Now I was scared. Scared to death. I could feel my heart in my throat and my breaths coming fast.
Nothing seemed to go right today and I so didn't want anymore mishaps.
"Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes!" he laughed.
"It's almost midnight, little Nashia! Nobody with you to go home? What are you doing out so late anyway?" he grinned again.
"Ryan, please! Let me go. I didn't even do anything." I said, my voice showing my every fear.
"Well well, you indeed didn't. But you were sneaking. Sneaking isn't a good habit, is it? And - " He stopped mid sentence when he looked back into my eyes. Our eyes locked and I felt a flutter in my stomach.
I'm sure he felt it too as I saw those eyes no more ferocious. For a second I thought I saw a hint of sadness and pain. Or was it love and peace?
Before I could comprehend, I felt the warmth of his lips against mine.
******************
And then, Seth enters! The typical good boy, opposite of the bad boy Ryan.
It's always said that the good girl fall for the bad boy. But it's also that the bad boy falls for the good girl, isn't it? Or does the good girl fall for the good boy?
"Don't go inside! Stay!" She said, holding her hand up to show me her palm and then I leaned over the balcony, resting my forearms on the railing to hold me up. I rolled my eyes as I exhaled deeply. Apparently I was a dog now.
But fuck,
It's her!
What are the fucking chances. It feels like I'm in one of those Wattpad novels that Beth always reads.
She quickly rushed inside and opened her blinds so that I could see right into her apartment. I watched her rush over to her stereo to lower the volume and then she came rushing back out, out of breath.
"Did you get my note?" She asked and then I nodded, trying to force back a smile remembering her cute handwriting, in fact her little note was in the pocket of my sweatpants at this very moment,
And so was her 100 dollar bill that she had given me,
"I did!" I said as I watched her try to brush her hair out of her face "look, the money that you gave me. I don't want it. I appreciate it but it's too much! I need to give it back!" I said and then she shook her head trying to reject what I was saying.
"No, it's yours I gave it to you!" She seemed upset and a little sad that I wanted to give her money back.
"Hey, come on. This is a sign from whatever forces are at work here, what are the chances that you would be living right across from me!? This is fucking crazy, I can't accept the money and the universe is giving me a chance to return it." I said shrugging as she waved me off and then smiled sweetly as she breathed in for a moment just looking at me with softness.
