I frowned at him. But then I was happy for him showing up, and that was all it mattered. A smile formed on my lips as I looked at his face. Well... you know... the face wrapped with darkness and mystery. I liked that about him though.
“So what did you do yesterday?” He asked and lied down in my bed with his crossed arms under is head and closed eyes. I stared at him while my cheeks blushed, remembering what happened last night.
“I’m not going to tell you what I did last night. I wouldn’t even tell Jasmine if she didn’t blackmail me.” Hell no! It would be like talking with Aiden about Midnight. And I have said that I like to keep these kind of things for myself. I just couldn’t find it in me to talk with somebody about the guy I liked. Let alone to talk about the guy I like with a BOY!!! I mean: seriously?
“Why? You can tell me everything. I won’t tell anyone.” He smirked with his eyes still closed.
“Why are you so curious?” I frowned at him. What’s the deal man?
“I like to know who was so important to you, to forget about me.” Midnight sat up on my bed, smirking at me. I knew it was a joke, but hey! I’m Ryder. It is my speciality to blush. “Are you blushing?”
And with that said I blushed even more, if that was possible. I felt like exploding. “How did you know I was blushing?” the words sounded like a murmur.
“I’m a cat . I can see at night.” He said and meowed. I couldn’t help and laugh at him. What the hell was wrong with him?
“Calm down kitty.” I said between laughs. Midnight looked at me smiling. For sure, his eyes was were glued to me. And that thought made me blush again.
“So? Who were you with?” He crossed his legs under him, and I could hear the eagerness in his voice to know more.
“What makes you think I was with someone? I... was doing my homework.” I tried to sound convincing, but hearing his light laughter, I figured out I sucked at that.
“You can’t lie to me little Ry.” His voice was low, and for some reasons I found it dangerous and scary, but the problem was that I wasn’t scared. I felt weird as his warm breath hit my face. It smelled like coffee. The thought of him, sitting in a couch drinking coffee crossed my mind. It was like imaging Santa eating cookies and drinking milk. Why did I think about Santa? What is wrong with me for the love of God?
“How can you tell I’m lying?” I frowned not very sure if he could see it or not. Why I was so easy to read? Do I show my emotions and everything so clearly?
“I just can. Now... back to the topic. Who is the lucky guy?” that smirk was playing with me like a cat with a mouse before eating it. I couldn"t let him do that. Instead I will fire back. After all... He was Midnight. What could go wrong with him? He is the sweet funny and mysterious Midnight.
“Who said it was a boy?” I smirked back at him, crossing my arms over my chest. He brought his face closer to mine and crossed his arms like me in the most serious way possible.
“Are you a lesbian?” I think I just died. At the second I heard him, I started to choke, not being able to breath. Seriously? After having a crush on Aiden for over a year, the last thing I could think was to be a lesbian. But of course he didn’t know about Aiden so... but again. Lesbian? Seriously?
“I’m straight thank you very much.” I managed to say between coughs.
“Do you like this guy?”
“Why do you want to know?”
“Because.”
Pff. I frowned at his answer. Couldn’t he give me a better answer? What was wrong with a full answer and not just a simple, freaking disgusting ‘because’. What kind of answer is that? Why he wanted to know?
“You are annoying.” I muttered still frowning. Midnight laughed at my childish act and hugged me once again. Wow hohoho. A lot of huggings today. But I didn’t feel like complaining. At all. It felt good actually. Good, warm and safe. I felt safe in his arms. Was it wrong to feel like that? Because it didn’t feel like that.
“Ooh! Did I upset little Ry?” He said like I was a freaking baby. That made me frown even more and slap him in his arm, feeling some strong muscles there. Holly freaking ice cream! Okay I didn’t do anything.
“You are mean.” I said and he laughed again this time louder. Now, we don’t want to cause my mom a heart attack, so I almost slapped his mouth shut. But that made him laugh even more and I couldn’t help and laugh with him. It was contiguous. “Sh-sh.... shshshsh...!” I tried to shush both of us, but it was hopeless. Instead of calming down, Midnight fell backwords on my bed taking me with him. His strong chest shook hard from the laughter. If I wasn’t to busy laughing I would be blushing right now.
After finally calming down, Midnight sat up again and turned his head to me. I could feel his eyes looking at me. “Do you want to sleep? Are you tired?” He asked me and I was lost for a few seconds.
“No. Why?” What was he trying to say?
“I was thinking...” He started to say, but stopped as he ran his hand through his hair. Why all the boys do that when they are nervous? Not complaining since it was so cute and I liked that, but again... Never mind.
“What?” my tone sounded curious and that made him smile at me.
“If you wanted to go out and do something. Now!”
“Now?” I gasped and he nodded eagerly. “But... what about your face? You don’t want to show it Mr. I’m to cool for you to see me.” The last thing I wanted was to upset him or force him to show me his face, but I had a point. How were we going out if he didn’t want to show his face. No matter how dark it would be outside, there are a hundred of lampposts to light up his face. It wouldn’t be smart from him to just take me out, without the risk of showing his face.
“Don’t worry about that Ry. I have that sorted out.” I stared at the smirk playing his lips. How could a smirk... be so cute and heart melting... in the darkness? In the freaking darkness!!! It’s like... I don’t know. Ugh! “Just me and you little Ry.” His soft voice whispered with excitement. “Or are you scared of the night?”
“I’m not. I’m friends with the Midnight.” I smirked at him as his grew bigger. But then I remembered we were talking about sneaking out of the house in the middle of the night with a guy I have a few days I know. Okay a week. That wasn’t me. “But I can’t sneak out I...”
My words cut short on my throat as his face came close to mine and his breath hit my face again. “Go wild for a while Ry.” It was like he was trying to hypnotize me. Was that even possible? How could I be hypnotized by only hearing his voice? He wasn’t trying to do anything funny with, was he?
But no matter what he did or said to me, I was still scared of doing such an unlike me act. I can’t say I was the goody girl that haven’t done anything bad in her life. Because that would be a lie. Like everyone, I had my moments and I didn’t need a boy to make me do them. To influence me on doing such things, because in the end, it was always me the one who took the decisions of doing reckless things.
So yeah, I’m not a goody two shoes. But everything I have done to be called craziness, it was during the day. Every time it was something different. But now in the middle of the night... I was scared. And I’m not ashamed to admit it. It was something I have never done before. All of those doubts running around my mind scared me.
I knew he wanted me to come. For the love of God I wanted to go with him too, but fear was stopping me. The fear of something going wrong. I have been so bored lately, eagerly trying to find out what exciting thing to do. Something that would give me adrenaline.
I missed the sweet feeling of adrenaline rushing through my veins. Maybe I should go with him. I should go with him. Trust him. After all friendships are based on trust right? If I had trust on him, he would trust me. This was an opportunity to show him that I really trusted him. And he could trust me as well. Maybe if he knows that he can trust me, he will show me his face, making this friendship real.
He took my hand in his warm and soft one. “I promise you. We will have fun Little Ry!”
