One More Minute With Him

This will Be Different

“Need a ride?” Did  I really want this to be happening? was i ready for this to happen?

I looked over at him. “You know you’re not going to have the gas to keep coming down this way.”

“Yeah then I can start staying over.”

I smiled as I opened the door. “My mom and dad would love that.”

“Really. Well I know that they aren’t home so yeah they won’t know or mind.” 

“What if I was to just call them up and say hey mom, dad I would just like to tell you Brandon staying over because his jeep ran out of gas.”

“I don’t see why not.”

I laughed at him.

 He pulled over on the side of the road.

“Wait what are you doing?”

“We need to talk.” He got out of the jeep.

“In the middle of no were? How’s this going to end you killing me and dropping my body in the grassy field?”

“Yes and maybe.” I looked over at him as I put my hand on the door. He must have seen because then he said. “I’m kidding; I’m not going to kill you.” He smiled then got out off the car. I got out as well.

“You know how I told you that we would always be friends tell the day we died.”

“Yeah. But you broke that promise a long time ago.”

“And I’m sorry I didn’t mean to. But my point of this is that I want to be more Arianna.”

I looked up.

“Where is this coming from Brandon you haven’t talked to me in over three-year? And-and-“ I looked back down at the grass. ”And now you want this to happen. You want us to happen.”

“Common Ari you know that you’ve wanted this as much as I have.”

“What about Michelle?”

“What about her? She is your girlfriend after all.”

“So?”

“No.”

I started walking again.

“Wait. Ari. Please don’t.”

“Why?”

“Why now after three year?”

“Because one it’s been three-year and two is because I have had feeling for you since we were kids.

And you’re just now telling me this. Or is it that the only reason why you’re doing this, saying this is because she isn’t giving you enough?” He was surprised that something like that came out of my mouth. I was to. I didn’t talk like this. I never have, but standing here looking at him, mad at him the way I was I did.

“Please I want this to happen I want us to happen.”

“So you’re going to cheat on Michelle with me?”

“Yes.”

“And you really want this?”

“Yes.” I looked at him pissed off more than before. I wanted this as much as he did. But was I really going to go through with it. Was I going to be his lover and only he would know about it. Was I going to watch him in the halls making out with his girlfriend that won’t know about us? No one would know.

He spook again and pulled me from my thoughts.

 “I want you to be in my life again. If you don’t want this. If you don’t want us to happen stop me from kissing you.”

“Is this a joke? Did someone put you up to this?”

“No this is real Ari, I want you to be in my life and not just as a friend; I want you to be more.”

He lips were just about on mine.

“Not here. Drive to my house.”  He looked confused at first.

“Really?”

I just nodded.

 He kissed me and hand in hand we got back in the jeep.

I couldn’t ever get into the house before he was kissing me.

What was I doing here? I thought if I putted this to a stop then I would never see him again. 

“Do you want-.”  He kissed me again.

I guess not. He locked the door behind him. I smiled at him in the dark.

“Come find me Brandon.” I run to the back of the house to the back door. Trying to go outside to run to the tree house. I went to open it but Brandon was behind me again. Arms around me.

“I found you.” He kissed me then pulled away and smiled down at me. The moonlight from the door came down on him. He was beautiful. He started walking again. “Your turn.” And then he was gone.

I ran up stairs and was just about to go into my brother’s room when he picked me up and walked us to me room. I laughed. He stopped and kissed me in his arms. “I missed your laugh Arianna.”

“I missed you Brandon.”

“And this feels like a dream to be within your house with you.”

I thought the same thing.

“And how is this dream going to end?” I said.

We were in my room. All thought being pushed out of my head with the way he looks at me as if im the only thing in the world. With the time lost between us. And for what? Because at some point he thought he wanted something else? A different life? These thoughts going through my head.
