~*~*~*~
It was the night of the concert, and like mostly every minute of my life, I was stressing out. What to wear? How to style my hair? So many questions were running through my mind, but thankfully they were all keeping me from thinking of Riley for the first time this week.
I tossed the Paramore t-shirt Jane and I had gotten at the mall over my head. I decided on a pair of red jeans, and black and red shoes. My hair was in a Kevin Jonas before the curls style, nothing out of the ordinary.
My parents where out with a couple of friends tonight so they left me the car, I was gonna meet up with Jane and Spinner at the concert. I looked to the clock, only two hours until the opening act, I had to get going, If I was late I would be kicking myself over and over for years, along with Jane who'd also kick my ass as well.
I grabbed my ticket, cell phone, and wallet before quickly running from my room, and heading downstairs. I didn't make an effort to stop as I swiped the car keys from the island and rushed out the front door.
I hopped in the front seat and placed the keys in the ingition. My bright smile quickly faded as I turned the key and realized, the car wouldn't start! Just great! I quickly tried the key again, and again before hopping back out and banging on the hood.
"You stupid peice of crap! Why tonight! Why?!"
"Well, that's one way to do it." I quickly looked over to see Riley standing a few feet away, smiling with his arms folded across his bare chest. God that body had a perfect body, why had I never noticed, not that I cared.
"And just when I thought my night couldn't get any worse. Look can you annoy me on Monday, right now isn't a really good time." I turned away and looked under the hood, although I had no clue what anything under there was, I'd never was, and never will be interested in anything under the hood of a car.
"Um, do you need some help?"
"No!"
"Look, I know you hate me and all, but it looks like you wanna go to that concert, so let me help you." I rolled my eyes and stepped back allowing Riley to step forward and look for... whatever it was that was wrong. "Hmm, okay I know exactly what the problem is. It should take only a sec to fix."
"Yes! So... can you do it?" He stood back up facing me and smiled.
"Yup, but first you have to come for a walk with me." I laughed before stepping back a bit so there was a bit more room between us.
"What?! No way. Just fix my car, please." He shrugged.
"No can do, unless you come with me." I folded my arms and looked up and down the street. I then looked to my watch, I didn't have much time, damn him.
"Alright fine! But you've got ten minutes, then you come back and fix my car." He smiled and nodded before gesturing me to follow him. I pouted before walking alongside him as we headed down the sidewalk.
~*~*~*~
Throughout most of the walk I kept my eyes glued to my wrist watch timing him for exactly ten minutes. right now he had eight minutes and forty-five seconds left.
"Would you relax, we're here." I frowned as I looked up to him.
"We're, where exactly?" He gestured forward and I looked over to see that we where standing in the park, it was a little secluded area, covered by a pasture of trees. In the middle of the tiny hideout was a little picnic table beside a tiny birdbath. It was beautiful.
"Surprised?" I looked to him in disbelief before turning back to the area.
"Um... I... I don't know what to say." He smiled as he held out his hand.
"Don't say anything, c'mon." I thought it over for a second and took his hand as he lead me over to the table. He then steped up onto it and laid back across it. I gave him a confused look before he patted the spot next to him. I shrugged before crawling beside him and looking up to the beautiful, starry sky tonight.
"Wow, I've never seen so many stars before." Riley laughed.
"Really?"
"Nope. In L.A. there was always so many lights that you could never really notice any of them." He made a 'hump' sound before turning back to the sky.
"I like to come here a lot and think about thing, ya know, clear my head." I nodded but didn't take my eyes off the beautiful stars. Riley then pointed up to some random stars in the sky.
"Ya see that" I looked to where he was pointing but didn't notice anything. "If you look closely, you can see a warrior. The three stars on the left makeup his sword, and it looks like he's holding it up, ready for battle." I squinted my eyes and I finally saw what he was saying.
"Wow, that's so cool. What do you think it means?" He smiled before turning to face me.
"I think, the warrior is holding his sword up getting ready for battle. He's ready to fight..... for the one he loves." I felt my heart melt a little. This guy seemed so perfect when we're alone, but in public he was a totally different person, but right now all I cared about was the good side.
"And just who would that be?" He shrugged as suddenly he scooted closer, and our faces were mer inches apart.
"Well, his lover is extremely beautiful. When he looks into their eyes, he can see spending everyday of his life with that person. And whenever he's alone, he can't do anything but think about what they're doing at that exact moment, and wondering if... if he's thinking about him too." I gave him a sweet smile as I stared into his eyes.
"You said he." He smirked.
"Yeah, I did." I smirked as we looked back up to the sky.
I didn't care about the concert, I didn't care about the car, I didn't even care about how I had my head nuzzled up against Riley's chest. All I cared about was right now, being right here with Riley. I think... I think I'm in love with him.
