RIVER Chapter 15
RiverZach walked in right behind me. He closed the door and locked it.I put my bag down, “I’ll be right out. Grab something to drink or sit down. Do whatever your stubborn heart desires.” I said in an uncaring tone.I walked in my room and changed into some comfortable pajamas and socks. I put on some deodorant since I was outside sweating like a pig.Looking at myself in the mirror, I reached for my cheek where Jaylen kissed me. I couldn’t believe he asked me out. No one has ever asked me out or shown any type of interest in me, but of course, now I know why. The 'reason' was sitting out in my living room. I took a deep breath and exhaled, “Here goes nothing.”I walked out and noticed he was waiting patiently for me. One arm on the arm rests, while his hand covers his mouth and chin. He glanced up, his brows furrowed. I’m sure he was still upset that he caught a guy kissing my cheek.“You didn’t want anything to drink?” I asked in an indifferent tone.He shook his head and I shrug
RIVER Chapter 14
RiverA month and a half has gone by since Zach’s horrible confession. It had taken so much in me to not speak to him and my willpower was slowly burning out. The way he stared at me with sad puppy eyes was hurting me. I haven’t given him a chance to explain and I’m beginning to think it’s time we talked.Erica and Jason were affected by our distance. I guess everyone is used to us always being together. It wasn’t the same anymore and it didn’t help that I had Zach in most of my classes. We have the same major but some of our classes were scheduled at a different time.He sat far from me and I appreciated it…until now. I know sooner or later I couldn’t keep up with this strong facade. He’s been my friend for a long time and even though what he did was unethical, he will have to gain my trust again.Alec on the other hand has been a bit distant too. He was avoiding me or that's how I saw it.I know this may come out of nowhere, but ever since I lost my virginity to that sexual pleasure
RIVER Chapter 13
RiverAfter leaving my Dad’s I ran into traffic. It was 6 in the evening and it was bumper to bumper. The moment I reached Highway 290, Raven’s sprint acceleration, made me feel zestful.I played ‘When I’m Gone by 3 Doors Down’ while I zoomed past cars. A few bikers rode near me, signaling me to ride along with them, but I wasn’t interested. I had a fast bike, a ninja, and I passed them up with my supercharged engine. They were no match for mine.She blended with the night and so did I.I needed gas, so I stopped at the Buc-ee’s where Zach and I met on Friday. I shut the roaring engine off and hopped off my girl. I heard whistling sounds so I turned to see what the commotion was and found a couple of hot guys staring at me. “Damn girl! You ride that?!” A guy looking like Michael B Jordan hollered. I lifted my visor and nodded. He walked over with two other guys.“This is a nice ride and so is the rider.” The blonde guy chimed in smiling, licking his lips as his eyes skimmed my body. I
RIVER Chapter 12
River“Uhhh…” I groaned feeling like I had just woken up from a Saturday night into early Sunday morning of binging on N*****x. The last time I did that, Dad was upset because we missed church.I opened my eyes slowly only to close them quickly as the sun's rays illuminated the entire room, dazing me. It took me a few seconds to adjust to the light. I opened them slowly and got scared for a second realizing this wasn’t my room. My eyes felt heavy and swollen. Just then I was hit with the flashbacks of my uneventful afternoon and evening from yesterday.I wish it was all just a nightmare. I hate being upset at Zach. He makes me happy and I feel comfortable around him. I even miss him when I don’t see him for a while. I guess I was accustomed to his presence. Tears started to form in the back of my eyes and I blinked a couple of times trying to hold them back, but it was useless. I was hurt. “All those years,” I whispered.I sat up only to lay back down again because I became dizzy. I ha
RIVER Chapter 11
“Hello, my name is Anna and I’m going to be your waitress for tonight. Can I start you both off with drinks and an appetizer?” She said in a chirpy tone, only staring at Zach biting her bottom lip.Why are women so disrespectful? I know he isn’t my boyfriend, but they don’t know that. Ugh, whatever. I rolled my eyes and said, “DrPepper for me, please.”Zach paid no attention to Anna. He was staring at me when he said, “I’ll have the same. Can you bring us some queso dip and chips, please?”“Sure thing, handsome.” She chimed and winked at him.“Riv’s, I’m sorry for being so selfish and for not telling you about my feelings. I should have. I really did want to, I just didn’t know how and before you even say how I could talk to other girls so easily, but not you, please understand that I was scared. You were the one girl who I could talk to about everything…everything except that. I was afraid you would reject me. I was afraid that you didn’t feel the same for me. I mean come on, Riv’s, y
RIVER Chapter 10
RiverZach’s knuckles were white as he gripped the steering wheel. I was nervous but then began to think, why should I feel bad? He's had many girlfriends before. I haven’t had a guy hit on me since forever and the one time someone, who was fridging hot, looked my way and talked to me, Zach dared to act this way.Breaking the silence, I turned to face him, “Why are you acting this way?” I asked in an irritating tone glaring at him. “Like what Riv’s? Like I’m pissed that a guy kissed you?” He said in a low gravelly tone. WHAT!?“Yes. Exactly that. It was on the cheek by the way.” I blew my cheeks out in frustration, “You have no right to act like that! (Gesturing at his disposition.) Let me get this straight…it’s okay for you to have girlfriends, right?! I’ve never said anything or acted differently around you with the girls you dated, Z. Never. One guy finally hits on me and acknowledges me, and you are acting jealous. Pissed off at me for no good reason, behaving stupidly like you ow
RIVER Chapter 9
RiverCrap! Crap! Crap!Zach was glaring at me angrily. My blood began to boil, “Stop! I was here last night.” I knew what he was going to ask, his judgy eyes giving it away. “Then why did he ask if your name was Raven? Raven is your bike’s name, Riv’s. How could he possibly know that?” He said, his jaw clenching roughly.Ugh! It’s true though, on the side of my bike and helmet, I have ‘Raven’ spelled out. I composed myself and tried giving him a stern look with a tone that matched. “I don’t know, Z. So many girls here on the campus and you're asking me when I’m new here? You're starting to make me upset by the way you’re questioning me. Any girl could have given that name so call it coincidence, I don’t know…whatever…but you need to stop before I get angry with you.” I hate lying to him. I didn’t feel like I did anything wrong though. It’s my life, my body, my wishes.He kept glaring at me, studying my face. That’s it!!! “Ugh! Get out if you're going–” He quickly pulled me to his
RIVER Chapter 8
RiverI didn’t know when the movie finished and what time I was knocked out, but so did Zach. I woke up on top of him. I lifted my head and noticed I had slobbered all over his shirt. Great Riv’s!Zach was still asleep and he looked cute. His arms were wrapped around me. I tried to move without waking him up but it was a fail. “Hey gorgeous–” He didn’t finish looking down at his shirt. “What the…were you trying to provide water for the flies?” I hissed and hit his stomach. I had slobbered on his shirt.“Shut. Up. You’re mean. I was tired and it’s not like I can control my mouth when I’m dead asleep you butt!” He started laughing loudly. I loved the sound of his cackle.Suddenly the doorbell rang. “What time is it?” I asked, wondering who was at the door. Zach looked at his watch, “Umm, 10:48,” he responded. “Are you expecting someone?” He asked, irritation evident in his tone.“No, unless it’s J and E,” I got up to go answer the door but yelped from the pain between my thighs. Zach he
RIVER Chapter 7
Zach“That’s it!” Looking down at my phone, “It’s 9:24 and she hasn’t contacted me. I’m going over.” I growled at Erica and Jason.“Dude, she must’ve fallen asleep or chickened out. Come on Z, you know River, she doesn’t do parties.” Jason remarked. He’s right, River wasn’t the partying type.“Hey, cutie.” A sweet feathery voice spoke, making me turn around. I frowned when I saw it was the same girl who insulted my girl yesterday. Yeah, I considered River my girl, hence 'babe' my nickname for her. I’ve known her since 3rd grade.Jason is the only one who knows that I am in love with her. We've been friends since 7th grade. I’ve held onto these feelings for so long and never had the guts to tell her. How was it that as soon as a girl would ask me out I would say, “Yes,” not thinking twice about what she would think later on and fool around with them like nothing? Oh, but could never be man enough to confess my love for her. Jason told me once that I would lose my chance to be her boy
