here's a small snippet of something that popped into my head at 4am this morning when i couldnt sleep.it's improvised here though.. meaning so much better then my draft. i'm sorry if this is sappy but i think it's kinda cute.. *glances down at the floor nervously* and so it begins...
Rhylene turned from the window that she was gazing out from and stole a glance at Dustin sitting beside her. His eyes were on the road and his fingers tapping nervously and the wheel that he was grasping.
"Dust, thanks for what you did for me back there... it was very nice..." she managed to stammer out.
"No problem Oats" he replied curtly using the nickname he had thought of for her and they fell back in to the awkward silence. Rhylene never like these awkward silences, she always felt like it was her job to break them, but before she could say anything Dustin pulled up at her house. As she stared out of the window and looked at her house she wished for the hundredth time that things between them would take a change for the better. At thinking this Rhylene started to get angry.
"Well, are you gonna tell me what's on your mind or not?" she demanded angrily.
"What the- there's nothing, it's just that-no, nothing" he said trying to act nonchalant and failing miserably.
"Liar" she hissed yanking open the door and storming up the path to her house. Upon reaching the door she dug into her pocket for her keys thinking
what is his problem? I feel like I don't even know him these days.
Don't be so hard on him. He's just feeling mixed up lately
whoa. What the- who are you?
Don't flip. Im your "inner voice" so you'd better listen.
I'm not listening. No way, no how. oh no, i just know i'm losing it no-
She felt someone grasping her shoulders and turning her around.
"What?" she spat at Dustin.
"I'm just sorry Oats" he stammered out. "There's something that I have to tell you"
"Oh, so now you're willing to share?” she eyed him as he winced at the sarcasm of her voice and immediately felt guilty, but she shrugged it off, not allowing herself to feel any emotion.
"You see, there's this girl, and she's amazingly wonderful, and there's something about her that i've never felt before for anyone.."
"oh wow, story of your life isn't it?""will you let me finish?"
"fine, so go on""as i was saying, i've known her for quite a while now. Since I moved into town. She’s smart, funny and really fun to be around with... basically everything that I look for in a girl. And she knows me better than anyone else does. At first we were just friends, but then something changed between us and things started getting awkward, you know" he said running his fingers through his dark hair. "And now I see her as this wonderful girl that I want to know everything about"
Rhylene finally snapped,
"That's real nice Dust, but you know what? I'm very tired now, so why don't you tell me all this sometime la-"
At this point Dustin’s lips came crashing into hers. Shocked, her mind was thinking frantically
Idiot, kiss him back!
What? Oh no, he's my best friend...
But this is nice...
what no.*mentally slaps self* bad Rhylene
Go on... kiss him back you know you want to
But before she could react, Dustin had already pulled away.
"Uh, what was that?" she said softly touching her fingers to her lips, her previous anger fading away.
"That was... a kiss?" as though unsure how she would react.
"You know what? why don't we just pretend that this whole thing never happened okay?" he spat out obviously getting angry at himself for kissing her, and with that her turned around and headed for his car cursing himself furiously as he walked.
GO AFTER HIM!
That snapped her out of her daze and she sprang forward toward Dustin, grabbing his wrist, she spun him around. As he looked at her face, his eyes searching for a sign, what kind of sign he didn't know.
At the sight of his clueless face she smile a smile that he knew so well, the one only for him, she reached up and pulled him into a kiss, all her emotion that she had been feeling for him surfaced, she felt him smile as he kissed her back. She wrapped her arms around his neck deepening the kiss, and his arms likewise snaked around her waist and pulling her closer to him.They stayed like that for a few minutes before they pulled away. Breathless, they gazed into each others eyes.
"Wow" was all he said"Yes, wow"
He grinned, and then gave her a peck on her cheek he started for his car once again.
"I'll call you later" he calls back to her as he got in his car.
"You do that" she waved to him as he drove off, then headed into her house. closing the door behind her she leaned against the door and sighed,
That wasn't so hard now was it?
"Nope, not hard at all" she thought out loud
"What was not hard honey?" her mom called to her as she waltzed into the kitchen.
"Oh, nothing really, just this math test..."And that kiss... she mused in her head.
"Well, okay then. How was your day?" her mom called from the kitchen
"Brilliant mom, just brilliant" she replied. With that she skipped up the stairs into her room and collapsed on her bed. Beaming up at the ceiling she whispered to herself
"I can't believe that just happened."
Believe it babe...
