I patiently leaned against the tainted metal bench, while I waited for my procrastinated bus driver to arrive. I sighed deeply as I rubbed my temples.
Everyday...must he arrive late everyday?! I internally asked.
My bus was the last of them all. It was becoming quite irritating awaiting my bus when my parents could simply pick me up. But as the days went on, waiting for my bus turned into a entertaining cliffhanger, than an agonizing suspense.
A boy. The responsibility was taken by no other than a boy.
He accompanied when he notice my brooding loneliness. I realized he started to walked my way, and purposely turned away to make him want to come in more. "Oh, don't turn away." He flirtatiously demanded, before picking up his pace.
I smiled, when I sensed him closer. He came up behind me, grabbing my waist, and pulling me into amorous hug. I yelped a little. "Nick." I said, a little surprise by his sudden affection.
I swiftly turned to face him, noticing our faces were dangerously close. I blushed before attempting to maneuver myself away. Nick pulled me in closer. He leaned in eying my lips, but before he was able to make contact, I turned my cheek, causing his lips to ram themselves into them.
I giggled a little when I notice his scowl. "Why won't you let me kiss you?" He honestly asked.
I want to kiss him, believe I did, but it's never that simple. I liked him, he supposedly like me, so why not? "We're not dating." I simply answered, giving him a nervous smile.
"What if we were, than would you let me?" He asked, giving a knowing grin. He pulled me closer, sneaking hands down the lower part of my back.
I blushed even harder. Nick flirted with me constantly, and I allowed it. I played along, and sometimes even flirted back. I liked him, but he didn't make as clear if he liked me. Just because a guy flirted with you, does not mean he "likes" you. So I avoiding all the times he tried to kiss me, because...it wasn't right. I couldn't have my first kiss...not like this.
My face flushed when I felt a certain pair of eyes staring at us. "Ohhh, get it!" I voice hooted.
I turn to look at who could possibly be the owner to the voice. Of course, Chelsie. When I saw her, it gave me the urge to separate myself but Nick had a tight grip.
When I began to flush even more, Nick only laugh causing me to smile. "Well?" Awaiting my answer to his question that he asked not to long ago.
I looked at the ground, not trying to make eye contact, for which I knew if I did, I would give in without hesitation. "Um, I..." I started. He used his hand to force my head up, causing me to make contact with his eyes. I couldn't help but smile, looking down at his lips. "Well, maybe." I said as I unknowingly inched closer.
We were so close, I could feel his breathe on my lips. It was so alluring. I forced my self to cease before proceeding any further. I frowned. "No, not like this." I thought out loud.
Nick noticed, and displayed a confused look. "What?" He asked.
I looked at him and almost gave in again. I wanted him so badly. I wanted to be with him, I wanted him hold me and tell that I was the only girl. Maybe it was obvious I would never his "only girl" for there were so many eligible girls that were prettier and better than me. I knew I was anything special, that I would have nothing spontaneous to give. All I had was my love to offer, and sadly nowadays...that wasn't enough.
I would have cried, but I what would be my reason to? Because I can't kiss him until we were officially together? "Nothing," Biggest lie I ever told. The bus was here.
He looked like was going to speak, but decided not to press on. Good decision. Last thing I needed was to explain my feelings to a guy who was quick to not care. He just grinned, and tossed his arm around my shoulder and walked with on the bus. I'd let him.
As Nick and I found a seat together, I silently started wondering what it was I liked about him. Did I need a reason? Was it some made of dilemma I hoped I had? Was my feelings for just there? I couldn't figure it out. It was something the heart knows, and wouldn't tell the mind.
There are so many reasons why I shouldn't like Nick. He is a womanizer, he's disclosed about his feelings, and so inconsiderate! I have so many reasons not like him, but can't figure out why I do.
Nick elbow my arm, after noticing my train of thought, and just looked at me. "What's wrong?" He asked sincerely.
I was prevalent on dismissing the question with a normal "nothing" or "don't worry about it", but instead did the opposite. "I don't know why I like you." I answered. It was as if a bomb had committed suicide in my stomach.
Expecting an sly remark or flirtatious joke, I looked to him for an answer. The bus was quiet in the boundaries of our own status quo. No one else existed when Nick was present. Though, he only smiled, not grin nor smirk, Nick smiled and scooted closer to me. "Darlene, you don't need to know." He simply responded.
I shook my head. "But you give me every reason not to like you. I don't understand, we just can't be. It's not that simple. Nothing is never that simple!" I exclaimed.
Nick laughed; making me smile and obvious to the world. "Look, I ain't trying to be Devil's advocate, but if you like me to a point where you don't know why, then erase all the other reasons why we can't be together, and just look at that one reason why we should. Because I like you, too."
I was so puzzled and astonished, I didn't know whether to embrace him, or say it back. My gut said embrace, but my mind said say it back. So instead, I went with my heart and kissed him.
