"Sir, I have Ryo for you." The Secretary says when we get to the door. I will myself not pass out. I take a few breaths and brace myself for what's to come.
"Yes, come in." He says and I take a few steps into the room. I gasp on the inside when I see Marlene sitting on a chair in front of the principal's office desk. "Good Afternoon Sir," I say looking at him. He smiles and he gestures for me to sit down. I take a seat opposite Marlene and she looks down at her hands."Ladies, I called in here to address the incident in the parking lot this morning." He says looking at me intently. I stare at him blankly not sure what to do here. What does he want me to say? "Ryo, do you want to tell me what happened?" He asks smiling at me. I turn to look in Marlene's direction and she's still staring at her hands. Is she going to look up and confront this situation? She's the reason we're in here. She's the one that decided to attack me for no dan"Well, Marlene I guess you can go." The principal says and I look up at him. "I should say that behaviour like this morning will not be tolerated." He says and I get up and head out of his office.What the hell just happened? I was sure Ryo was going to rat me out. And I wouldn't have blamed her. I was wrong for attacking her. I don't know what came over me. I was so enraged that I took it out on the first person that I saw.I look down the hall hoping to see her but she's not there. I have to talk to her. She didn't have to lie for me but she did. If she didn't decide to keep quiet I would be in big trouble. My mother threatened boarding school; if I pulled one of my stunts.If today's incident got out, I would have been in a school miles away before I could say sorry.I have to get it together I can't let my emotions take over me like that.A few hours later, at the school parking lotAs I
I pull into the McDonald's parking lot and see Oliver pull into the parking spot next to mine. He smiles at me when he sees me. I open my door and get out of the car, I lock it and walk to his. He opens the passenger door for me and I get in."You look gorgeous," He says when I close the door. "You look really good." He adds and I smile."You look gorgeous too." I and he smile."I do?" He asks shyly and I nod."You look really good. I love you in all black." I say truthfully. He really does pull off the all-black outfit."Thank you." He says taking my hand in his, he kisses it and I feel the warmth of his kiss from the inside of my hands all the way between my legs."What are we eating?" I ask trying to distract myself. I almost jumped his bones right then. We haven't been intimate in a while now. So many things have happened since our date in the garden. I wish we were in the garden right now. I wish we w
"I don't know why I did it," Ryo says looking ahead. I can tell she's conflicted about her decision to not rat Marlene out. She hasn't said much about the incident in the principal's office yesterday. "I guess I felt sorry for her, she looked so sad when I walked in." She says after a moment of silence."I get it," I say and she turns to me with her brows like really? I smile and she frowns. "It sucks that she attacked you but I know you didn't want her t get into trouble," I say and she nods."I just couldn't do it. You should have seen her, she was looking down at her hands the whole. I don't think I've ever seen her that scared." She says and the statement conjures up memories I don't want to tap into. I remember how scared she was when she had her episode and Jameson and I took her home. The look on her mother's face said it all."I've seen that look," I say and she almost gasps at my words. "She does get scared, she's just great at hiding
"I don't want to talk about her anymore. Tonight is about us. This is our date." I say shaking my head at my words. We've been talking about my ex for too long. "You're right... you're right. We have a beautiful view in front of us. It's our duty to enjoy it." She says smiling. "I didn't hear a single lie told," I say taking my phone out of my pocket. "And to that, I have a game I want us to play," I say and she raises her brows intrigued. "Well, it's not a game, more like a quiz," I say and she gently takes the phone out of my hand. "Let me see." She says looking at the screen. "What do you like about me?" She says reading one of the questions. I smile feeling a little weird. I pulled a couple's quiz for us to do tonight. I don't know what she's thinking right now. I thought it would be a great way for us to reconnect after all that's happened. We need a chance to talk about our relationship in a less stressful setting. "Are you going to answer?" She asks taking a sip of her drin
It's been two weeks since the parking lot incident.It's the weekend and I am taking myself out on a coffee date. There's nothing like a little lone time when life gets a little overwhelming. The past few months have put me through the ringer. I've gone through enough emotions in the last few months to las me a life time.I pull up to my favorite coffee spot in the city and feel a mix of joy and sadness. Memories flood my mind and cling to my senses. My dad and I used to come here a lot. He made it a point to bring me here at least once a month. I don't think I was old enough to have coffee when he started bringing me here but I loved it because he did.But I stopped coming when he passed away. For a long time I couldn't bare the thought of being here without him. As a matter of fact I stopped drinking coffee alltogther because I would start crying evrytime I smelled the aroma.I get out of the car and head inside
"Sorry."Marlene says and then she looks down at her hands and then she sighs. "Can I buy you another coffee?" She asks and I shake my head no."Actually, I should go"I say reachig for my purse. I don't want to be here anymore. Trust her to ruin a goood thing. My good thing."Wait!" She says panicked. She grabs my hand and it takes everything in me not to jump out of my seat. I look at her hand on mine and then back at her. Why does this girl think she can just touch me like that?"Sorry." She says taking her hand away. I sit back and look at her. I don't care what she has to say but I don't want her to make a scene again so I'll just sit here and let her say her piece. "I just wanted to say thank you for not ratting me out the other day." She says and I nod . I don't have anything to say to that so..."I would have gotten into a lot of trouble"She whispers to herself."I know I've been crazy and I've treated you terribly." She continues and I s
Midnight that same night"I don't think I should be here" Oliver whispers as he walks into my bedroom"You shouldn't be here." I say giggling a little bit. I don't know why I find this funny but it is. He thinks I snuck him in while my mother is around but she's not. I wouldn't do that to either of them. Never mind the fact that my mother would kill me. "You're mother is going to kill me for sneaking in here." He says as I close the door. "She is going to kill you for sure." I say laughing a little louder. Why are you laughing at me?" He asks smiling. He plants himself on his bed and then stares at me. His eyes have a sparkle in them. I still can't get over how beautiful he is. "Because you're worried about something that won't happen." I say sitting at a chair in front of him. "My mother went out with one of her friends. She won't be back until tomorrow." I say in explanation. "You're mean." He says leaning in to place a kiss on my cheek. "You enjoy seeing me squirm." He says p
"Ry this is crazy. I don't want to break up or even think about breaking up." He says as he starts to pace around. "I don't care how crazy she is I won't let her break us up." He says looking back at me."O, we're not breaking up. We're going to pretend that we broke up and...""No!" He says interrupting, his voice firm. "I'm not agreeing to this." He says his voice really shaky. I grab his arms and pull him toward the bed to sit."What are we going to do then? Live in misery?" I ask and he shakes his head no."I hate this. What if we start playing this little game and it backfires on us?"He says grabbing my face in both his hands. "I have a bad feeling about this. I don't like it at all." He says sad"We'll just be pretending. Make her and everyone think we're not together anymore and see if that will get her off our back or not. If it doesn't work we stop." I say and I can tell he's not convinced."So what? We pretend not to fuck with each
