Chapter 2: Empty Promises

Slam! She shut the door to her locker only to find those eyes. Those piercing, blue eyes.

"Geez! Idiot. You scared me," she screamed

"Mary, that hurts…right there," he said pointing to his heart.

"Aww. Come here…" with that she moved in closer to give him a consoling peck. Of course, he had other plans. The kiss intensified, as he brought her into him, gripping her ass. She melted into him, placing her hands in his hair, playing with it. He started pecking and nibbling at her neck, throat…started moving his hands up her skirt, leaving a truly burning sensation. As she became aware of her surroundings, the Chilton hallway, afterschool, she broke apart, saying "Well, that was a refreshing way to end the day."

"Anytime Mary. Anytime."

"Haha. Thanks for offering your services…come on, lets go…I need coffee…I've been craving it all period"

"Ror, I know we have been dating for a few months now, but please clarify your constant need for coffee."

"Tristan, you see coffee, all you need to do is grab and dictionary and look it up. Coffee, a noun, definition: 'the elixir of life.' You do know what that means right?" she gave him a playful glare and continued "that I'd basically die without it. So you see, I need coffee. You are my boyfriend. So you need to supply me with a constant source of coffee. So, I don't know… you should probably go and convince your father to take over Starbucks or something. I mean he has the money, right? That way you own Starbucks…I own you…and I have my coffee. Make sense?"

All the time she was rambling, he was looking, no, staring intently at her face and expressions as she spoke about this 'elixir.'

"What are you staring at?"

"You. C'm here," with that he took her in for a hug, kissing the soft spots on her neck. He whispered in her ear, "I love you, Mare. Always have and always will. Promise me, we'll always be together."

She awoke with a start. "ARraragah…not again. Why do I do this to myself? He left me. God, he fucking left me; he made it a point that he didn't want me. Then, why do I keep reminding myself of him?" she started asking out loud.

"Because your still in love."
