Love Kills

Chapter 2: The Day of the Love

"I was definately going to call him tomorrow..."

I woke up to a gray, cloudy, rainy sky. These are great days. I smiled to myself, warm with memories from Ray. All of a sudden I heard my mom's voice ring up to my Alice in Wonderland room. "Mindy, honey do you want breakfast?" I replied. "Sure! Can I have some eggs, toast, and bacon?" "Yeah!" We always made big breakfasts on Sunday. I doubt we were going to church today because dad has been working earlier on Sundays. I jumped in the shower and did my makeup and my hair. I put on the shirt Ray bought me at the concert, lime green skinny jeans, a splattered hoodie, my black converse, my cross necklace, and a couple bracelets along with a little green and black checkered bow in my hair. I had just finished at the perfect time. "Mindy come get your breakfast!" My mom yelled up. "OK! Down in a minute!" I ran downstairs and quickly ate mydelicious breakfast. I hurried back up stairs and checked my email. Then I looked at my iPhone. 10 texts. Frankie, Frankie, Kaylee, Karen, Karen, Kaylee, Frankie, Mom, Jeremy, and one from Ray. I opened all of them and saved the best for last. I opened up Ray's text and scanned over it. "Hey wanna hang out 2gether?" I smiled. "Yeah...I'm coming 2 ur house if u don't mind." I went to my bathroom and brushed my teeth. I went back to my iPhone and read the new text from Ray. "Yeah that's fine." I grabbed my keys and ran out of the house. I checked the time it was almost 12. I unlocked my lime green Wrangler and jumped in. He sent me the directions to his house through a text. I memorized them and drove all the way across town and when I arrived I found myself staring at the old victorian mansion that everyone thought was haunted. I still remember the day when I was little and I broke into the boarded windows. I got trapped in there and my friends had to come and get me out. Then my parents asked me what I was doing and I told them I was 'ghost hunting.' The yard was extremely huge and there was iron gates that opened for me. I drove up the driveway that circled around a large fountain with an angel in the center that had water coming out of her hands. There was a large garage, an old stable, and a huge pool that Icaught a glimpse of in the backyard. I got out of my car and before I could even knock a fragile,creepy, old butler answered the door. "We've been expecting you Miss Hart. Sir Ray is in the dining area." I smiled. "Hey thanks dude!" He seemed shocked by my behavior but I just ignored him. He beckoned for me to follow him. Everything was old but had a gorgeous touch to it. Antique furniture and modern furniture was placed fashionably around the house. Whoever decorates has good taste, I thought to myself. We finally reached the dining area and Ray got up to greet me. He was dressed in a pair of black, designer ripped up jeans and a concert t-shirt as well that complimented his muscles. His hair was in the same cool wave. On his feet were specially made Converse that had his name and styles on. "He is rich..." I murmured yet he still heard me. "I come from a long line of famous Italian artists. All of our money was inherited by my parents. Parents..."Can I meet your parents?" His expression turned sorrowful. "They're still in Italy, going over their new art gallery." "Oh..." Silence filled the room until he broke it. "Would you like a tour of the house, Miss Mandy?" He grabbed my hand and chuckled lightly. I blushed and then he stared at me ith a burning red face. He dropped my hand. "I'm sorry." I walked closer to him. "No...don't be..." I trailed off. We walked through the house as he named off each room. It probably took us over an hour to finish the tour. The last room we visited was the living room which was very spacious and a large plasma screen TV was hung on the wall. Expensive game systems and games sat below the TV. There was a large, rich red couch that wrapped around and a matching recliner. A large glass coffee table took up some space and on the walls were pictures from artists that I didn't recognize. The cherry wood floor matched the lamps and other decorations, giving it a cozy feel. One picture in particular caught my attention. It was dated 2003 and as I looked closer at the painting, the woman displayed looked more and more like me. "Who painted this one?" I asked curiously. "I did..." Ray trailed off. "Is it of me?" I asked, staring at the painting. He just turned away. It was 2010. We had just met...how could it be me? He decided to change the subject then. "Do you believe in werewolves and vampires Mandy?" This question caught me off guard. "I dunno...Why?" He shrugged his shoulders. "You just seem like someone who would. "Do you,by any chance,know how to ride a dirtbike?" I nodded my head. "Would you like to ride one then?" "Yes! I haven't rode one in a while though." I said to him as we walked to his garage. Inside were two dirtbikes. One was red and the other a bright green. "Which one do you want?" He asked as he handed me a helmet. "I don't know it's been so long since I've rode though." "Well then do you want to ride together? Just to be sure you know!" We both blushed. I slowly nodded. I got onto the green bike and he climbed on behind me. I felt safe with him behind me. Shaky hands laid gently over mine. His hands were so warm, gentle, and yet so strong. We started off slow and then knowing me I started to speed up. I was in a fantasy world but was waken out of it by my name. "Mandy, Mandy, MANDY!" I saw we wer headed straight towards a tree. Ray was trying to grab the handles but I was so scared I wouldn't remove my hands. Just in time he turned the bike but it flipped out from under us. We flew through the air but he caught me in his strong arms before we fell. We hit the ground and I laid there on top of his warm, muscular chest. I almost didn't want to get up. It was my dream come true. We laid there for a few more minutes and then I reluctantly climbed off of him and stuck out my hand. He grabbed it and I helped him up. "I thought the boy was suppossed to help the girl up." He joked. "Just be glad I helped you!" I joked back. We both laughed and we fell onto the wet grass. We were laying beside eachother, me in his arms. The gray, cloudy sky hid the sun yet it was so peaceful just laying there. I wondered if he felt the same way towards me that I did him. I thought maybe he read my mind because he said, "Mandy I feel really..." I put my finger over his lips. I leaned in and kissed him. He moved away. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sor-" He leaned to me this time and our lips met yet again. I've only known him for a short time but he was special. I felt like someone actually loved me in the world. "Mandy..." "Hmmm?" He broke my stream of thoughts. "Nothing it's just getting late, I thought maybe I should take you home." "I can drive myself you know." I replied. "I'm driving you and that's final." I knew I wasn't going to win this time. "Fine..." I sighed in defeat. We headed back and got into my car. He started the engine and as we went along I asked him, "Do you believe in werewolves and vampires?" My question shocked him. "I don't know I was just wondering if you did. It's a long story. I'll tell you then." He grabbed my hand with his free hand. "It's all confusing..." I changed the subject. "So are you going to our school now?" He nodded. "How is your school?" My expression gave it away. "Bad?" I nodded. "For me at least. I'm always getting screamed at, the food is disgusting so bring your own lunch unless you want food poisoning. , , , and Ms. O'Brien are teachers to be careful around. The rest are cool,especially . Oh and watch out for this one kid names Mike Hostetter...I have to give him a swirlie tomorrow and he'll most likely scream in the halls like a banchee. And that's pretty much about it at school. I know my friends will like you too." He stared at me. "EYES ON THE ROAD!" I screamed as we headed towards a curve. He kept staring at me and turned the curve without even swirving. "How'd you..." He smiled devilshly and laughed. "You're different from the girls at my old school. They were all serious and snobby." "Well it's good to know that I'm humble and humorous." We smiled at eachother. I looked at our hands. "Are we boyfriend and girlfriend?" He nodded. If you want..." I nodded. "You already knew my answer." We arrived at my house and he helped me out again. "I can open my own door you know!" I joked. He shrugged his shoulders and led me to my house. I unlocked my house and turned to tell him good bye but he was already gone. How'd he...Oh well. I went up to my room and started to talk to myself. Apparently Jeremy, my little brother, heard me talking. "You have a boyfriend?" "Go away Jeremy. Quit listening to my conversations...to myself..." He shrugged his shoulders and walked away. My last boyfriend was in 10th grade and it didn't work out due to the fact that I broke my boyfriend's arm. I ran downstairs to greet my mom and get dinner. I turned on my TV and got ready for bed. "Getting a boyfriend is that hard? I'm glad I like girls...they're easier to get." Jeremy smiled devilishly at me talking to myself again. I just ignored him. As long as I love Ray...that's all that matters.
