Chapter 9
Getting ready was going to be different today i wanted to look
good. Regardless of whether this was a date or all in
my head i knew i wanted to look good. I decided to wear a pair of
white lace shorts , with a loose fitting maroon long sleeve shirt
with a side pocket with maroon vans, curled hair , light makeup,
and gold hoops. The whole outfit flowed nicely. There
was a knock at the door ,and i automatically knew it was Daniel.
I smiled to myself walking to the door to greet
him.
"Hey "I said with a smile .
"Hey , ready to go ?" He asked with a smile
.
"Yeah" I said
coming outside expect to see one of those hideous
things that goes by the name of pick up trucks. Instead I stared
back at a Harley Davidson bad as* black motorcycle. It took me
by surprise , i had a huge fear of motorcycles. I was
not going to share that with him though , that would be giving
him satisfaction. So , i decided to bravely just sit on
the motorcycle in expectation of him to join me. Except
, that's not how things went. To my own mortification I fell
right on my butt trying to get on. I looked up to a chuckling
Daniel with his hand out offering me assistance. I really
shouldn't try to pull off the tough girl act it doens't
suit me. I took his hand , he pulled me up without any effort
needed. He lightly placed the helmet on my head. Gently touched
my chin fastening the straps.
"Thanks "I mumbled.
"You are welcome"He said in a normal voice getting on
the bike and placing his own helmet on easily as if it was second
nature.
"You coming ?"He said with a smirk. Just staring at me.
I gave him a sarcastic look ,and than got on.
"You know that requires actual physical contact with me ,
scary i know but you'll actually have to wrap your arms
around my waist unless you have a death wish. "He said.
Something he said about a death wish sent my brain off. Just that
sentence enough was enough to get me thinking about my addiction.
He must have noticed something was up , because he asked with a
concerned look
"Are you okay ?"
The cuts you posses upon your
sleeve
travel from upper arm to wrist
like a road trip to Alaska;
you took back roads.
I see it in your deep red smiles,
how you yearn to feel
my kiss around your machinery
And their cruel bumps
run across your arm
like paper made with
empty air holes.
And I need you to know
that I'll use your innocence
to speak to you about how
(one day) you'll be fine
"Not really "I said with a
shrug.
"Oh well , he'll get to you sometime."She said
smugly.
"What are you implying ?"I asked
confused.
"Oh nothing , Daniel just likes to get close with girls.
"She responded.
"A - lot of girls. "Sarah added.
"Oh , thanks for the warning "I said
quietly.
"You're welcome "Lacey said with
a squeaky voice turning around from me all the others
following.
Of course I was right. He did have a multitude of girls just like
i thought. This was just a plain confirmation. Than why did i
feel so hurt ? I knew it this entire time yet i still felt hurt.
I felt a tap on the back of my shoulder. I
turned around to a confused Daniel.
