"So are you going to tell me where we're going?" I asked Fabian, after getting sick of driving for twenty minutes with no words. The silence wasn't awkward, but the anticipation was real.
He smirked as he glanced at me quickly. "If I tell you, then how will this be fun for me?"
"I want it to be fun for me too" I huffed in annoyance, crossing my arms over my chest stubbornly. He laughed this time, and I got to relish again in how beautiful his laugh sounded.
Wait what?
"Will you at least give me a clue?"
"Nope"
"A tiny tiny clue?"
Have you ever thought about what the power of one single day of happiness can do for a person?We go through life everyday as scheduled, nothing changing, nothing new. A few weeks later, it will be almost impossible to remember what you did on said day. However, when you have a day, an hour or even a minute of enjoyment out of your regular schedule, you will always remember that moment.When a friend asks what you learnt in Biology yesterday, it takes a couple seconds to resurface your memory.. But if they ask, 'do you remember that clown from the carnival yesterday?', the memory immediately clicks to your mind.Well, that's just how the human brain works. Happiness, fun and excitement will stay longer than the regular boring stuff.&nbs
Turns out, I didn’t chicken out.In fact, I made it all the way to the address that Chad gave me. However, I was stuck in my car for the last twenty minutes, contemplating whether or not I should go in there.If Fabian wanted to be alone, who am I to invade his alone time right? But still, the tiny voice in my head was focused on the fact that I wanted to ensure that he was alright--that he would be okay, and then I'll leave him alone.Oddly, I knew a part of my persistence was because I missed him. With Colton always hanging out with Anastasia, Shanae always busy with work and my other friends...Who am I kidding? I have no other friends other than my lab partner. Fabian gave me a rush the other day that I just couldn’t seem to shake, and I want
I had finally convinced Fabian to go freshen up and get ready for a normal day as he would do on any Saturday. Luckily, he wasn’t reluctant, and he actually left to do so.I made a sandwich for him and coffee, since breakfast technically is the most important meal of the day. I sat the sandwich on a paper plate and set the coffee to brew as I heard the shower being turned off. My mind wandered to how his ripped chest may look with the warm water droplets on them, and the steam bouncing from his toned arms.I instinctively bit my lip as the image formed behind my eyes, but my ringtone blared through the room shook me from my naughty thoughts.I grabbed the device and glared at it, but I relaxed a lot when I saw that Colton was face-timing me. I didn&rs
"Where are we going, Fabian?" I huffed as I jumped over another log. I was a city girl for a reason. I loved nature and all, but I was in no mood or attire to hike.However, after Fabian got ready and met me in the kitchen again earlier, he had announced that he was taking me to his second favourite place in the world.Of course, I got excited at the thought. I wanted to learn more about him, so I was looking forward to it. But he didn’t tell me that we'd have to be walking for miles.Okay I was being a bit mellow-dramatic, but it felt like I had been walking for miles."I told you Skates, my second favourite place" He stated casually as he continued to follow the small trail. I s
The silence that was left between us eventually subsided, and we found ourselves sinking into a new series of light conversation.After I so calmly assured Colton that I was okay and he should stop being so persistent, I was teased by Fabian about Colton being my 'overprotective boyfriend.'As if.I was glad that the tension left the air though. My bold accusation that he was only being nice to me because he wanted to sleep with me got lost in the past, and I was grateful.I guess I could appreciate that trait about him. He knew how to make tension go away, unlike me with my naturally awkward self.Currently, we were playing 20 confe
"Paris? Is that you?" I cursed under my breath at my failed attempt to sneak past the dining room without being heard. I knew I was late for dinner. Really late. So I wanted to sneak off to my room and come down in pyjamas as if I'd been home for a while. But of course, despite my tiny frame, my heavy feet alerted everyone. Reluctantly, I shuffled my way back towards the dining room's entrance, where my parents and sister were already halfway through their meals. It looked lovely, but my already filled tummy protested against having more food. "Hey." I waved awkwardly as they all gazed at me. My sister, Cynthia, had a teasing smirk on her face, as both my parents eyed me in question. "And where have you been all evening, young lady?" my dad asked, and I almost winced at the sharpness in his tone. "I um... " I knew I couldn't lie. The oversized jacket on my shoulders was obviously not mine, and I was sure that there was a pu
"Cynthia! I'm going out!" I bellowed as I made my way to the door. Since she was the only one at home, I simply wanted to let her know that I was leaving. It was a thing we do. Before I reached the front door, I watched as she poked her head from the hallway that led to the kitchen with a glint in her eyes. "Is it that Fabian guy again?" she asked as she wriggled her eyebrows. "No. I'm actually going to hang out with Colton. And stay out of my life." I threw her a glare, but she only smirked wider at me as she rushed towards the front door. I threw it open, and I saw that Colton was already waiting in my driveway.
I trotted carefully through the familiar path as I used my phone's flashlight to guide me through the dark.I wasn’t sure if this was my best idea, but I knew I didn’t want to see anyone else and there couldn’t be a better place to meet him, even if it's in the dark of the night on a trail behind an old farmhouse, in the middle of what seemed like nowhere.Relief dawned on me when I saw the outline of a muscular silhouette sitting on a rock in front of the surprisingly sparkling water. The moon danced on its crystal feature as the crickets sang loudly.The sound of my feet caused him to look behind him, and he smiled welcomingly at me as I joined him.That smile alone&
