I don't know exactly where this story is going. I guess I'll find out :)
I wipe the sweat off my face as I take a drink of my Gatorade. He thinks I can't handle this. I'll show him! I put the drink back and lay down.
"You think you can handle a few more pounds?" he asks me.
"Bring it!" I say smirking. He adds a couple five pounders to each side of the bar. I think that's about one hundred pounds. It doesn't take all of my strength, but it does take quite a lot for me to lift it up.
After I do about fifteen, he tells me to stop. Bench presses really aren't as bad as people make them sound. "Okay, I think you've had enough of that, let's go to the punching bag," he tells me pointing to a little bag hanging from the ceiling.
When we get over there, he shows me the specific ways to hit it if I want to do some serious damage. He also shows a few moves that he made, which isn't like him.
After a few minutes of practicing, I go for a left and he moves the punching bag, making me fall into his arms and him catching me. "What was that for?" I ask.
"You've had enough," he says apparently not letting his actions be took over by his feelings. I get that he his afraid and to tell the truth, so am I. I've never really been in a serious relationship before. I've never let anyone get this close before. But there's something about Riven that makes me feel like I shouldn't hide.
"Go ahead. Do what you want," I say. Even thinking of saying this, for most people, would be like a suicide mission, but I'm not most people.
He looks at me with those violet eyes and studies me before putting his lips on mine. Riven barely ever does this, so I might as well take advantage of it. I kiss back.
Riven's lips against mine... there's no way to describe it really. It feels like I'm in a dream. Like I'm gonna wake up and find out that I was making out with my pillow. But no. This is real. And this is now.
Riven isn't the gentle person, he is always hard and brutal with his kisses, but they are always hot and passionate. I put all my feelings into that kiss because I don't know when it's going to happen again. Riven forces his tongue inside my mouth and our tongues fight for dominance.
He pushes me against the wall and puts his hands on my waist, holding me down. This is Riven. The Riven that nobody knows except for me.
All of a sudden, I hear my phone go off from the other side of the room. Riven tenses up and tries to break away, but, with all the strength I have, I pull him back and keep kissing him.
Nothing is going to ruin this moment, not even a phone call.
After a couple seconds, the music stops. But, that's not right. My ringtone usually lasts longer.
Wait! Tecna set my phone to automatically answer calls after so many seconds. I still have no idea how she did it. "Musa?" Stella's voice asks.
I don't answer, I just keep kissing Riven. But then he breaks apart. Does he really want to stop? "Musa..." he says huskily and then kisses my neck. He bites and sucks it, leaving hickeys no-doubt.
"Musa?" Stella's voice says even louder. I try to hold it back, but Riven is just so skilled with his mouth that I moan. "Musa! What are you doing? Are you OK?" Stella yells through the phone.
I can't stop, this might never come again! I push it a little further, I start kissing his neck as well. I never thought that I'd actually be necking with Riven! I mean, we kissed here and there, but that's mainly because we were afraid to show our feelings. But this. This is pure bliss.
"Musa if you don't answer me, I'll send out a search party!" she says. I push Riven away madly and go to the phone.
"What?" I ask, not even trying to hide my anger.
"What were you doing? I heard a moan. Who are you with?" Stella says frantically.
"I'm working out. Alone," I tell her.
"Oh! Ok. Then are you coming back soon?" she asks while Riven comes up behind me and puts his arms around my waist, kissing my neck.
"Probably not, after this I'm gonna go take a walk and get something to eat," I tell her leaning my neck so Riven can have more access.
"Oh, but Ms. Faragonda wanted to see you," she says in a certain tone that I know very well.
"Stella, I know when you're lying," I tell her.
"Fine! I have a surprise for you," she says huffing.
"Whatever it is, I think I'm better over here," I say.
"But I really got to show you this!" she whines.
"Maybe later," I tell her and hang up. Just when I put my phone down, it rings again and answers automatically.
Musa! Don't hang up, I just really need you at this moment!" Stella whines.
"Fine!" I yell and hang up. I turn to Riven and give his a lingering kiss on the lips and then put a jacket on and zip it up to hide my neck. I get my stuff and walk out the door.
I run to Alfea and up to my doorm. "What Stella?" I yell when I see the blonde fairy looking at me.
"Okay, I think I'm right about this one!" she says leaving me confused until she moves and I see a boy come out of my room.
Of course! This is Stella trying to set me up with someone. She doesn't seem to think Riven and I are good for each other so she keeps trying to get me to go out with other guys.
"This is Will," she says pointing to the guy with short blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Stella! I have a boyfriend!" I shout at her.
"Yeah, but you need more than one option. Don't let yourself be tied down to one guy!" she says arguing with me.
"I don't feel like I'm tied down. Besides, I like Riven. That's not going to change," I tell her.
"But-"
"No!" I scream. Why can't she just leave it be?
"Musa! You know Riven isn't paying much attention to you and he never will! Riven isn't that kind of guy. He'll leave you out on the street and you'll come crying to me, wishing you'd have never gone out with that douche bag in the first place!" Stella says.
I can't help my self. I ball my hand into a fist and punch Stella as hard as I can. I swore I heard a 'pop'. She falls to the floor with a loud thud and blood gushing out of her nose.
"I'm sorry, but you shouldn't talk about him like that," I tell her and go into my room, pushing past Will and slamming the door.
Tecna looks at me with eyes of curiousity. "You can go see what I did to that blonde bitch for yourself. I'm not going to waste my time telling you," I say flopping down on the bed.
She get's up and hurries to the door. She opens the door and gasps loudly causing everyone to come out of their room and all gasp as well.
"What happened?" Bloom screams.
"Musa punched Stella. I think her nose is broken," Will says.
"Why would Musa do that?" Flora asks.
"Let's go find out!" Bloom says and I hear the five of them come into the room.
"Why-?" Layla starts but I cut her off.
"How would any of you like it if someone told you that your boyfriend is a douche bag that is just going to leave you out on the street?" I ask, or rather, shout at them.
"Well, if my boyfriend was Riven I would accept it and break up with him," Bloom says.
"Why are you all hating on Riven?" I ask.
"Sweetie, we aren't hating on Riven. We just don't want your heart to break," Flora says sweetly.
"But he won't! You don't know him!" I scream.
"Look, Musa, I'm saying this becasuse I'm your friend. Ditch Riven. He doesn't like to put up with girl crap. He'll just break your heart," Layla says.
"I can't believe you would say that," I seethed. I didn't give any of them a chance to say anything, I jus ran out the room, down the stairs, through the forest, to Red Fountain, and up to Riven's dorm.
"Musa?" Helia says when he answers the door.
"Yeah, is Riven back?" I ask.
"Yeah, actually he is," Helia says looking at me suspiciously and letting me in.
"Musa?" he asks.
"Yeah. Helia can you give us some time alone?" I ask.
"Sure," he says and I can see a smile tugging at his lips. He probably thinks I'm going to break up with Riven.
He leave the room and with my sonic hearing, I can hear him say, "I think Musa is finally gonna break up with Riven!" to the others.
"What are you doing here?" Riven asks.
"I needed to get away from the girls and this was the first place I thought of," I tell him and sit down on his bed, him sitting in his desk chair.
"What was the surprise Stella was going to show you?" he asks.
"I doubt you want to know," I tell him.
"You're probably right, but I'm curious," he says.
"Well, she was trying to set me up with a guy named Will. When I tried to remind her that I have a boyfriend, she called you a douche bag. I couldn't help myself. I punched her in the face and they think I broke her nose," I tell him.
"Nice," he says.
"Look. What happened today. Well... I really don't know what it was," I tell him.
"It was me doing what I wanted," Riven says.
"But what does it mean?" I ask.
"It means, I wanted to kiss you," he says.
"Do you want to go somewhere?" I ask.
"Not really. I like the fact that you're in my room," Riven says smirking.
"Mmmm. Maybe we could make something of that," I say but before Riven could answer the door bursts open and there the five guys are. I knew they were spying on us!
"Um... We wanted to see if you wanted to go see the others. Bloom just called and said that we could all go watch a movie!" Sky says trying to cover up for them.
"Good try," I say.
"Okay, we couldn't hear what you were saying except for the last three lines," Timmy admits.
"Okay, why?" Riven asks.
"They thought I was going to break up with you and they wanted to hear it for themselves," I tell him.
"How'd you know?" Helia asks.
"I'm not dumb," I tell him.
All of a sudden, someone's phone goes off. "That's mine," Brandon says.
It might be the girls telling him about Stella. "Hey," he says and with my sonic hearing I can hear that it is Bloom telling him about me punching Stella, but not why.
He glares at me with evil eyes and hangs up the phone. "Why would you do that to your friend?" he asks.
"She had it coming," I tell him.
"I believe that she didn't! You probably got mad at her for no reason like always, but why would you do that?" Brandon asks.
"Because. She. Had. It. Coming," I try to tell him.
"What did she do?" Brandon asks. I've never seen him this mad before.
"She was talking bad about Riven," I tell him.
"And? She was probably right you know! If you weren't going out with him I doubt you would have ever punched her. He's a bad influence," Brandon says.
"Why does everyone keep saying that? I choose who I go out with, not you. Stay out of it! You may not think it's a good idea, but your opinion doesn't matter," I tell him.
"You know what? My opinion does matter because I'm your friend. I want whats best for you," he tells me.
"No-" I start but Helia's calm voice cuts me off.
"Guys, please leave this dorm, I'll handle it," he says and the others leave except for Riven. "Riven, you too," Helia says.
"No," Riven says.
"Fine, be that way but I doubt Musa wants you to hear this," Helia says and Riven just rolls his eyes.
I'm pretty sure I know where he's going and I didn't want anyone to know! "Musa, you know what dad told me. I'm trying to follow his orders but you're making this very difficult," Helia says.
"Well dad's orders are stupid," I say.
"Dad?" Riven asks.
"It's a nickname for one of our friends. It's weird," I say quickly.
"Anyways, why can't you just listen to somebody else for once?" Helia asks, dismissing the lie I told.
"Because it's my life!" I yell.
"Musa, we only do it because we care!" Helia says rising his voice from his usual calm demeanor.
"I don't care if you care! You don't see me getting involved in your life," I tell him.
"That's because I'm older and you have no right over me," he says.
"Just cause your older doesn't mean anything!" I explain.
"Musa, we're-" he starts but I cut him off.
"They are outside the door listening and Riven is right here. Don't say it!" I tell him.
"Family," Helia says loud and clear.
How do you like it? Ideas would be very much appreciated! Please R&R!
