Summer Nights
Chapter 6
Rykers POV
I did it. I kissed her.
Was this feeling normal? These tingles?
I never got them with Kadri..
But with Zaedyn.. I'm ME when I'm with her. Its
amazing.
"Zae.. Can I tell you something? I mean, can I trust
you?"
"Of course.. of course you can." She looked
worried.
"Its.. Its about my dad."
She moved my hair to the side, and looked me straight in the eyes
and kissed me.
"I promise to always be here, Ryker. Always."
She made me feel better already.
"My dad.. He's.. Gone."
"Gone?"
"My dad died in Iraq when I was a just a kid. And no one
knows. Only my family. I never wanted anyone to know. Its my only
weakness. Everyone else grew up with a dad. Everyone but
me.."
Zaedyns POV
I just hugged him. I could see the tears welling up in his eyes.
I knew how he felt.
"Your secrets safe with me. I swear it is." I was just
about crying myself.
"Thank you. Thank you for being you. The most amazing girl
I've ever met in my life."
This brought tears to my eyes. The feeling of being good enough.
I've missed it.
He kissed me again, and again. It was like heaven.
We crawled under the blankets and cuddled and talked about life
for the rest of the night.
That Kadri girl kept texting his phone though, so he went and put
it in his car becuase it was getting so annoying.
"Can't wait to see how many messages I'll have
tomorrow morning." He said while rolling his eyes.
I just kissed his cheek. Then I dozed off.
~
"Ry.. Ryker?" I mumbled when I woke up the next
morning.
I streched and rubbed my eyes.
"Out here, baby."
Baby? I liked the sound of that.
I walked out of the tent. He was sitting next to the fire in the
sand. It was early, the sun was just coming up.
"Good morning beautiful." He said with smile holding
out his arms.
I walked over and sat between his legs andhe wrapped his arms
around me, and kissed my cheek.
We sat there and watched the sun rise together.
It was just life a scene from a movie,<3

Summer Nights
Chapter 5
Rykers POV
This girl. She is just so
amazing. I've only known her for a couple hours, and shes
just.. Just makes my heart skip a beat.
I just want to spend every minute with her. I feel like I can
connect with her.
I know exactly how she feels with her mom. I wish I could tell
someone about my dad.
But, I'm scared too. I dont want anyone to know my
weakness.
Holding Zaedyn in my arms.. It just felt so
right.
Zaedyns POV
Ryker is awesome. It felt so right to be there in his arms.
Im normally so shy, but with him, I
just let the walls come down.
"Are you ready to go home, or what do you wanna do?"
Ryker asked.
Hmm, it was 5:30 and I didnt have anything to do at home, but
then again it was getting cold.
"Lets go get your car. I dont want to go homw, but I'm
cold." I laughed.
"Alright. Sounds like plan."
~
"Where are we going?" I asked impatiently.
"We're almost there. I promise."
I sat in the passenger seat. I just looked at him for a few
minutes.
Everything about him was just so perfect.
The way his dimples showed when he'd smile and show his
pearly whites.
I'm so corny. Oh well. It's how I felt.
"So, whats your middle name?" Well that was a random
question.
I better give an answer.
"Shea."
"Zaedyn Shea.. Thats so pretty. Pretty name for a pretty
girl."
I could feel my cheeks getting hot. I bit my lip from smiling to
big.
"Thanks. Whats yours?"
"Omry."
"Oh thats cute. I really like that."
He just smiled at me. We pulled onto a long gravel
road.
"Are we almost there?" I asked, again. I was getting
bored riding in the car.
"Yes ma'am."
We rode for about another two minutes when we got to this place
with just a little picnic table and a lake. And the sun was going
down and it was just so so pretty.
Ryker got out of the car, but I was to busy looking at the lake.
He went to the back of the car and was fidgiting in the trunk.
Then he came to my door and opened it. He was holding a pop up
tent.
Hmm?
"Grab the blankets out of the truck!" He said with a
huge smile on his face.
"Uhh, okay?" I was very confused. I got the blankets
and put them on the picnic table.
He set up the tent.
"Soo.. What are we doing?" I asked curiously.
"What does it look like, silly? We're setting up a
tent." His smile was from ear to ear.
Alrighty then..
Once he got the tent set up he started to make a fire. I made the
tent.
I laid down some blankets, some pillows, then some more
pillows.
Then I just laid there.
"Mind if I join?" He popped his head in.
"I would love that."
He came in and put his arm behind my neck and I rolled onto my
side. I had one arm next to me, the other on his stomach, while
my head rested on his shoulder.
This. Was. So. Perfect.
"How long are we going to be here for?"
"The night." I looked at him with question in my
eyes.
"Uh, I havent even talked to my nannie?"
"You're right. You havent. But I have." He was
laughing at me.
I was so confused.
"Remember when I went inside when we stopped at my house to
'use the bathroom?' Yeah, well I had my mom call your
nannie. And now, here we are."
He is so sweet.
This is the happiest I've ever been. Laying here with
him.
Then his phone rang..
Hey babe! I have not heard from you all day! Where are
you?!
For the last time Kadri; I am not your babe!
What are you saying?! You're dumping me?! Is there
another girl?!?!
Uh, we've been broken up. And quite frankly. Yes. There is
another girl. Goodnight.
And with that he hung the phone up.
"I hate crazy ex girlfriends." He mumbled.
Then it happened.
He kissed me. Right then.
I. Loved. It.

Chapter 4
Zaedyns POV
"Hi. I'm Zaedyn." I
said while standing up.
I couldn't keep my eyes off of Ryker. He was just so
handsome.
"Well hello good lookin'." Kyle said to me.
"Dude. Really?" Ryker said in an annoyed
tone.
"Uh, okay? I guess I'll be leaving?" And with that
he walked out the door.
Oh well. Didnt bother me any.
"I'm Ryker. In case you didnt know that already."
He said with that contagious smile on his face.
"Nice to meet you, Ryker."
"My pleasure. Hey, how would you feel going out for a bit?
Maybe I could show you a few things in town?"
Woah. Was I dreaming? Or does he really want me to go with
him?
"Um.." I turned towards to my nannie.
"Go ahead sweetheart. Do you have your phone with
you?"
"Yeah. I'll call you at about six and see whats
up?" I managed to say through my smile.
"Alright, have fun. I love you."
"I love you, too Nannie."
~
We walked out the door.
"Well, do you want to take the car or would you rather
walk?" Ryker questioned.
"Lets walk. It seems to be nice out." I couldnt stop
smiling. I'm pretty sure my cheeks were as red as a rose.
"So, why dont you tell me a little about yourself." I
said to Ryker.
"Well, I'm going to be 18 in a few months. My favorite
color is orange. I play football. I'm actually one of the
captains. My birthday is September 29th. Uh, I seem like I have a
lot of friends, but to be completely honest.. I dont know how
many people like me for me, or if its for my popularity around
school. I really want to go to school to be cop. I used to want
to join the army. But that all changed. I live with my mom and
dad and I'm an only child. Ha. How about you?"
Wow. His life story beats mine.
"Well I'm sixteen. My birthday is May 26th. My favorite
colors are purple and green. I just moved here from Vermont with
my dad and little sister. I dont really have a lot of friends.
And the little that I did have dont even know where I am, because
my dad never let me say goodbye before we left. I play softball.
When I graduate I really wanna move to New York City to become a
model."
Hm. That sounded alright. I think.
"Wow. Why did you wanna come here? I mean I've heard
that Vermont is a really pretty place."
We were just getting to a playground. We walked over and sat on
the swings. So I started to explain why I live here now.
"Well, two months ago, my baby sister Laine was born. But on
that same day that was supposed to be wonderful, turned out to be
one of the worst days of my life.."
I had to stop so I could sniffle. Then I continued..
"I lost my mom that day after she had given birth to Laine.
Which of course, wasnt easy. My mom was my bestfriend.."
Now the tears were really coming. What had I done.. He probably
thinks I'm some sort of freak telling him about my life
story.
"Zaedyn. Look at me."
I wiped away some of the tears from my eyes and looked at
him.
"You're one of the most beautiful girls I've ever
laid eyes on. You're to pretty to be this upset."
He was standing in front of me now. His hands were on my hands
which were on the chains holding up my swing.
"Thank you, Ryker. I really needed to hear that."
I started wiping away more of the tears.
He pulled my hands from my face helped me stand up. Then he
pulled me in for a hug.
It wasnt one of those 'lets be friends' kind of hug. It
was a big bear hug and he squeezed me tight.
He whispered in my ear..
"You're to beautiful to
cry."
Summer Nights
Chapter Three
Zaedyns POV
"Oh Zaedyn! Look how
you've grown. You're so beautiful. Oh, Henry! Look at
your gorgeous daughter!" My Nannie said while hugging me
tightly at the airport.
"Yeah. Just gorgeous.." My dad replied.
Was he implying that I wasnt pretty? Well thats a low blow.
"Thanks Nannie. I've missed you." I said, sniffling
back the tears forming in my eyes.
I guess I was crying because my nannie was the closest thing I
had to a mom now..
"Sweetie, dont cry. Lets get in the car and go home."
Nannie said, rubbing my back.
My poppa took the carseat with Laine in it and I grabbed my
suitcase and a little suitcase with Laines clothes in it. My dad
took his three suitcases and we walked to the car.
My nannie and poppa have a pretty big car. It was a GMC yukon. My
poppa and dad sat in the front and nannie, Laine and I sat in the
back.
My nannie wiped away the tear that just wouldnt stop.
"It'll be okay." She whispered.
"Wait until we get to the house. I will introduce you to the
neighbors. They have a son about your age." My nannie said
and she nudged my arm and winked. Man, do I have a cool nannie or
what?
Nannie and Poppas house was only about ten minutes from the
airport. When we got there we took all the stuff inside. Laine
and I shared the guest room and my dad slept on the pull out
couch. He wasnt very happy about that. But once again, I didnt
really care.
After everything was unpacked and put away, my dad went car
shopping. Which left nannie, poppa, Laine and I at the house.
Nannie asked if I wanted to go meet the neighbors. I said yes.
Laine stayed home with poppa.
Nannie rang the doorbell. We waited for a short time. Maybe about
five seconds. A woman opened the door. She was so pretty. And so
nice.
"Hello Mrs. Witts! How are you today?" She asked with a
smile on her face.
"I'm just great! Today my son and his two daughters
moved up from Vermont! This is Zaedyn. I'm introducing her to
people around the neighbor hood."
"Hi." I said in the sweetess voice I could, and
smiled.
"Hello darling! Won't the two of you come in? Ryker and
Kyle are downstairs. I'm sure they would love to meet to
Zaedyn!"
Hm, first day in town. Meet two boys? I'm not gonna say
no.
We walked inside and sat on the couch.
"Nannie, whats their last name?" I asked when just the
two of us were alone in the room.
"Collins." She whishpered back quickly.
I heard Mrs. Collins yell down the stairs,
"Ryker! Kyle! Theres someone here I want you two to
meet!"
She came back in the room.
"Ryker is my son, Zaedyn. He's a senior. He goes to
Gould High. Is that where you are going to be going,
honey?"
"Yes, Mrs. Collins." I get so nervous talking to
people. I'm a bit shy.
"Please, call me Shannon!" She encouraged.
"Okay, Shannon." I said, with a little laugh.
I heard people coming up the stairs.
"K Mom, who was so important that I had to pause Call Of
Du... Oh, who is this?" Ryker said as he walked through the
doorway with a smile on his face?
Rykers POV
I walked up from the basement
thinking my mom was going to ask me to do dishes or something.
But when I walked into the living room there was a beautiful girl
sitting right there on my couch.
Summer Nights
Chapter One
Zaedyns POV
"Zaedyn, is all of your sh*t packed yet?! I dont have all of
my life to wait for your sorry butt to be ready!" My dad
screamed up the stairs.
I actually wasn't ready. I was in the middle of packing when
I went to pack the picture of my mom and I.
I remember it like it was yesterday. We were having a girls day
at the beach before little Laine was born. It was roughly three
months ago. My mom had a big belly. We were standing at the edge
of the water. She was grasping my hand tightly. My friend who had
been there thought it would make a cute picture. So she took it.
The water was a crisp shade of blue. It was beautiful. I had it
framed for both my mom and I.
The tears were uncontrollable. I missed her so much.
My mom passed away a month after that picture was taken. She was
in the hosiptal getting ready to have my baby sister.
My sister was fine.. But my mom was gone.
~
Oh. I'm sorry. I have yet to introduce myself. My name is
Zaedyn Witts. Im sixteen years old. I live in the little state of
Vermont. Well up until today. I'm packing my bags to move to
Gould, Oklahoma with my dad and sister. We're moving in with
my dads parents because now that my moms gone; my dad cant
support us both. He doesnt even really like me a whole lot. He
reminds me all the time that he doesnt. He says that when I was
born my mom gave me all of her attention. Like that was my fault?
I was just a little baby. Oh well. He doesnt have to like me.. I
dont care..
~
"I'm coming dad. I will be right down." I said
through the tears.
"Hurry your a$$ up Zae. And get that devil child,
too."
That devil child is my baby sister, Laine. He blames her for my
moms death. But I love her. And I always will. I know she
couldn't of done anything.
I grabbed my suitcase and Laine and went downstairs. We got in my
dads small red car and drove to the airport. It was silent the
whole time.
My dad didnt even let me say goodbye to my friends..
I wish my dad liked me. I love him. He's my dad, how can I
not?
After forty five minutes in the car we got to the airport. We got
on the plane.
Oh how nice of my father. He got himself a first class seat.
Not Zaine and I though. Whatever, I guess. I didnt really wanna
sit next to him for the next two and a half hours anyway.
Finally, two and a half hours later, the flight attendent came on
the intercom, "Ladies and gentleman, please fasten your
seatbelts, we will be landing shortly."
Good. I hate planes.
Now all that was left was waiting for my Nannie and Poppa to pick
us up at the airport.
Oh what a joy that would be.
