Loverboy to Scratch
I woke up to find Ryan staring at me with a stricken expression. All I could remember from the few minutes before was that an old man had come up to me and given me a necklace with a symbol on it. Then nothing, not a time period that seems just to slip through my mind, as if it were only a few seconds ago that I was given the necklace, it was like I was stuck in some deep well with no sight, sound, or feeling, for hours.
"Zoey?!" Ryan said worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"No," I said, and it was true. I had a killer headache and a burning in my chest to match.
"What did he do to you?"Oh god Zoey, I'm so sorry!" He murmered.
"What happened?" I asked, rubbing my head involaintarily. He watched me with and expression that looked somewhere inbetween regret and curiousity.
"I'll explain later! First come with me, we'll try to get you clean." He said.
"We?" I asked, trying to think through the throbbing in my scalp.
"Yes we. 'I'll scrub your back if you scrub mine?'" He asked, looking at me playfully. I rolled my eyes, trying to calm down my heartbeat.
Ryan had always been the hottest guy I had ever seen. He had naturally strait, jet black hair that fell nearly to his shoulders, big geen eyes that always seemed to glow if you looked ath them long enough, pale skin, and full lips that looked very kissable... NO NO NO!! My neck threatened to feel a permanant whiplash as I shook my head viciously. This was not the time to be daydreaming about stuff I wished I could do with him.
Ryan stopped in front of a house a few yards down the street. He didn't notice until he turned around to speak that I wasn't following him anymore. "Come on Zoey, I was kidding!" I rushed to catch up. He was standing in front of one of the only mansions in rhode Island. It had been my dream house since I first moved here from Texas, when I was ten. It had that homey look on the outside and had a great view overlooking the ocean.
"Welcome to my home!" Ryan said with a warm smile.
"Yours?" I gasped, sounding like a total idiot. He laughed sent my heart fluttering. He opened the door and the warm smell of cinnamon and shugar wafted through to my nose. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply. I must have been standing there for longer than I thought because Ryan grabbed my hand and led me down the hall and up a flight of stairs.
I was blushing bright red. OMG OMG OMG! HE IS HOLDING MY HAND!! I screamed in my head. "You ok? Your face is kinda red." Ryan said. Which only made me brighter.
"Fine. Just fine. Just feeling a little lightheaded, not used to fainting, if that is what I did." I mumbled, grasping desperately for my last vain braincells.
"Maybe you should sit down." Ryan said in such a worried tone that I shook my head violently, since I couldn't speak with him directing that look at me. I grasped at my head deperately when the world turned fiercely in circles. I pushed his hand off of my shoulder and struggled to stand up right.
He gave me one more desperate look and then shrugged, heading back down the hall. I followed obediently, glad that he didn't push the arguement. We walked to the end of the hall. Ryan opened a set of double doors off to the right. "Welcome to my room," He sighed as he flopped comfortably onto the king-sized bed.
I turned around slowly to let all of it sink in. The room was large. Most of it was a light gray color, including the couch, ottomans, and chairs that were littered elegently across the room. It was also very clean and the carpet was soft and white. placed in the wall opposite the bed was a giant glass door that was open with the white curtains blowing gently in the sea breeze.
"Wow," I gasped in awe filled amazement. "Its amazing."
"Zoey?" Ryan said quietly. I jumped, turning around to find my face an inch from his chest. I looked up to find him gazing into me with his beautiful eyes (Which kind of reminded me of a cat.)
"Y-yes?" I stammered, caught off guard and forced to gather my witts again. He bent slightly and gently kissed my forehead, causing me to get dizzy.
"Welcome home," He murmered...
TO BE CONTINUED!... :3
