Love exists- chapter 4
---
I woke up when my mom opened my shades.
I moaned, the sun was so bright. I rolled over and looked at
my alarm clock. It was 11:38, that was really late for me to be
sleeping in. Usually I'm up at 9:30 or 10:00. I got out of bed
and went over to my closet. I put on a pair of jean shorts and a
tanktop. My eyes were heavy and I felt like going back to sleep.
I got my phone off the floor because i threw
it against the wall last night, it kept vibrating
and I didn't want to talk to anyone. I got 19
messages. Ten from Nicole and nine from the person I
never wanted to see again. I deleted every single
message in my inbox and created a new message to
Nicole.
Hey Nicole, I'm so sorry about last night.
I really didn't feel good so I walked home. Don't be
mad I didn't tell you. J<3.. I texted her and put my
phone in my pocket. I straightened up my room and took a book to
read outside on the front porch. I liked doing this on sunday
mornings, well afternoon in this case. It relaxed me and I felt
like I was in my own little world, I loved to read. I was fifteen
minutes into my book when I heard footsteps on my driveway.
"You ignored all my text messages and my calls, why won't
you talk to me?" I closed my eyes when I heard Sal's
recognizable voice. I looked over my book with a blank
expression. So much for relaxation.
"Do I look like I'm in a position to have a
conversation," I told him in a very nasty voice.
He looked very uncomftorable. Good.
"Why did you leave last night? What. did. i. do?" He
asked. He spaced out each word in the last sentence to make it
dramatic. I had no times for his games.
I laughed," Oh please, like you don't know. You left me in
the middle of a conversation to go around with some
other girl, you didn't even say bye to me!" I pretty
much screamed at him. Tears were filling my eyes, I blinked them
away quickly.
"Raina? She's my good friend, Joanna, I'm really sorry I
didn't say good bye but I mean I was just excited to see
her," He told me when sadness crossed his face.
"I guess you're right, I guess I should have known the story
before I got all mad"
He smiled and sat next to me. He was so handsome it was
unbelievable.
"Don't worry about it, I am the one who feels like a
jackass. Plus I don't like her at all," He told me. I really
wasn't listening, I was lost in his eyes.
Why did I keep telling myself I didn't like him? I had fallen for
him the first day I met him. I just didn't want to be heart
broken, again.
"Well, who do you like then?" I asked
him.
"Do I really have to answer that question" He said, he
was coming closer to me. I was slowly moving away but then he
grabbed my face and kissed me. I kissed him back willingly. I
pulled away and looked at him smiling.
"Joanna, will you go out with me?" He whispered to me.
I nodded and kissed him, hard.
