《This Can't Be The End》Chapter 15
Advertisement
Today is another uneventful day, but that's nothing new, Friday is slowly rolling closer, me and the gang are planning to go to some sort of college frat party, and if anyone one asks I'm nineteen and am majoring in chemistry.
It's something I alway do I lie about my age, and act different then I would if you saw me at school or anywhere other then that party.
I love the feeling of being someone I'm not, of course there is it's downfall, and also that I probably should stop this game eventually, for now I will enjoy it, and the adrenaline that courses in my veins for those few hours, make all worth it, which is enough to keep me going with it.
So I trudge through another through another Wednesday, of school.
~*~*~*~
It's early in the evening and aunt Lilly and I have just finished watching two movies, back to back when she decided to go to bed, for her flight that she has to be on early in tomorrow morning.
Before she decided to make her way to bed, I said, "Im going for a walk."
"Ens it's going to rain soon." Was her response.
"I won't be long."
She reluctantly nodded, and went to bed, knowing its better not to fight with me on this, when she has an early day tomorrow.
I haven't been on a walk for awhile, it used to feel good going once around the neighbourhood, even if I despise physical activity, in any shape or form, it's still nice breather, especially at this time around six o'clock.
So I step out into the cold, and walk around a bit, trying not to think much, of course it doesn't go well.
As I walk a bit, my hands tucked in the pockets of my black jacket, I feel droplets of water fall on my head.
Aunt Lilly was always right, I decide to go into the seven-eleven that is close to where i'm standing to get a few seconds, of isolation before making a sprint back home.
By the time I arrive at the entrance of the store, I'm soaking wet from head to toe, the little droplets had turned into a much more.
I go into the chip section, deciding I should get a bag of barbecue chips, considering two of my idiot friends also known as Collin and Dean, ate the two bags I had, no surprise there.

I'm searching through the different brands of chips, when I feel a presence beside me, I look up to see Ryver, how the hell do I always end up in the same place as him.
Is the universe trying to play some sick twisted game?
Most probably.
"Ensleey?" Ryver says.
Duh who does it look like. I want to say
"Why are you soaking wet?" He asks, eyeing my drenched hair and clothing.
"Oh I thought it would be fun to go for a walk." I smile a small smile.
"I'll take you home." He said, as if he has every right in the world to make such a decision, of course he doesn't, most and fore most because he acted like a dick the other day, but I still don't want to judge him for it, who knows what happened to him, to make him seem so distant.
In an extant it is my fault for pushing him away every I chance I got.
"No, it's fine. Thank you."
"You'll get sick."
"Okay and?" I say, and he rolls his eyes.
"Fine." He says, but something doesn't seem final wth the way he said it.
He walked away and I continued on to grab the few bags of chips I needed, and went to pay.
When I went outside to noticed Ryver's car is still in the parking lot of the seven elven, he got out of the car, just as I began to approach his car.
"Ensleey don't make this difficult." Was all he said.
I didn't want to walk, but I'm not going to let him know that, besides what will he do if I don't get in his car?
"What will happen if I don't?" I ask, trying to sound confident, though I don't think I'm reaching that goal.
He didn't respond straight away, he more so looked like he was thinking of what he'll do. "I'll carry you."
He'll carry me? Thats the best he's got.
"I don't believe you would." I say jutting my chin, just as the words have left my mouth Ryver began descending towards me, with determined look on his face.
Oh gosh he's serious.
He then picked me up bridal style, with ease like I weighed the same as a feather, then again he is a football player I shouldn't be surprised, that he can carry me. I held onto him afraid he might drop me.

"Believe me now, angel?" He asked, his husky voice murmuring against by ear.
"Don't you dare drop me." I say sternly, hoping it's sternly, and I feel the rumble of his chuckle, against his chest.
He opens the car door, puts me down in front of it caging me giving me no options but to get into the passenger seat of his car. I sigh and take a seat he shuts the car door, and goes over to driver side.
On the way to my house we sit in comfortable silence, but I can feel his heavy gaze turn towards me every few minutes, as is thinking I'm going to jump out pot the car at any given moment.
Which I would do if the root of escape wasn't going to land me a trip to the emergency room, that I don't to ever want to step foot in again.
Yeah I don't think I want to die today, todays isn't so bad, maybe I'll try another day.
We finally stop at my house and it's still pouring out, I wonder if it's safe for him to drive in this weather.
"Do you want to come inside until the rain stops?" I ask hesitantly my tone holding uncertainty.
"No it's okay." His reply comes out quietly, I look to see him looking at me.
I feel very self conscious under his scrutinizing gaze.
Then his hand, shaky and all tucks a loose strand of hair behind my ear.
I see a smile line his feature, I have no idea who leans in first, though I feel my breath hitch at the sight of him so close, his large hand caresses my face.
"Can I kiss you?" He asks leaning close to my ear, I gulp, without thinking I nod.
Not a second passes by before his lips are on mine, he runs his fingers through my hair, and for the first time in years I actually feel something, something other then numbness from a guys touch.
Like a switch had flickered. I never thought I'd feeling this emotion, yet for the first time in so long I don't feel numb.
I feel alive. He touches my thigh, urging me to go to sit on his lap, I do so, his lip part mine sliding his tongue in my mouth deepening the kiss.
He only pulls away from me to catch his breath and, he then looks over my face.
I have no idea what comes over me, but I grab him by the collar of his shirt and kiss him again, he deepens the kiss by pushing me against the steering wheel, his hands roam over my body.
Who knows how long we sit in the car making out, but not second goes by that Im not enjoying it, and I can tell that he is reciprocating that feeling.
We finally pull away completely, coming to a complete stop he rests his forehead against mine.
This is wrong, so wrong. I shouldn't enjoy it.
I move away, well try considering I am in a cramped car.
"I should go." I grab my stuff breathless, he nods but doesn't say anything.
I rush out of his car, and run in the pouring rain that is surrounding me, until I finally make it opt the my door.
I see Ryver still hasn't moved from his spot in the drive way, is he waiting until I go inside?
That's the only thing he could be doing.
I shake my head what happened was a mistake. Even if I want it, want to be able to imagine the thought of a relationship with Ryver.
I don't expect Ryver, would want to be with me when he notices the extant of a damages person.
That doesn't mean the thought of the kiss leaves my mind, that evening.
*~*~*~*
R y v e r s P O V
I just kissed Ensleey.
But why the hell did she rush out my car?
Did she not feel what I felt?
Is this whole thing in my head?
I can't answers to my questions, without Ensleey, but of course how do you get answer from a closed off book?
I can never comprehend what that girl is thinking.
There's no more denying it.
I like Ensleey Hendrix.
The real question does she like me back?
I wait until she's closes the door to her house and drive off, there is no point to overthink everything tonight.
