Richard and Kori walked out to his new black corvette and got in.
"Nice car." She said settling into the leather interior.
"Thanks. So where do you live." He said turning the key so the ignition started up.
"Um, I think 418 Cherry Blossom."
"No way! I live on that street too!" he said pulling out of the school parking lot.
"Cool. Now I wont have to walk that far to get to the party." She said
"Just so you know there wont be any supervision there." He said hoping she wouldn't be discouraged to go.
"Ok. Its not like it matters." She said
"That's great." He said "Cause I really want you to go."
"Well I'll be there. I told you so."
"Good." He turned the car on to Cherry Blossom. The whole street was filled with mansions. White and beige all down the street.
"Your parents must have expensive taste." Richard said smirking
She flakily smirked back. "yea." She said sadly
"Hey, what's wrong?" he said pulling up to her house turning to her and placing his hand on her arm.
"Nothing. Its just I don't have parents. I live with my sister." She said unbuckling her seat belt. She had a little trouble with the buckle and Richard could see that. He reached down and pressed the button. She got out of the car and before she could close the door he said, "hey, if it makes you feel any better, I don't live with my parents either. I was adopted. My biological parents died."
"thanks." She said shutting the door. She started to walk to her door while Richard waited to see if she got in ok. She got about halfway up the walkway then turned and ran back to the car. She knocked on the window and he pressed the small black switch to bring it down. "Hey, I forgot to ask where you live so I can come to the party tonight."
"Oh right I live in that white mansion on the end of the block." He said pointing o the mansion.
"thanks." She said walking back to the house. Richard couldn't help but stare the way she moved her hips the way she spoke her hair her clothes her body, they were all perfect. Then the painful jagged truth came back to him. He had killed parker two days ago and the only reason he kept his license is because Bruce was rich and paid the DMV to overlook this misfortune. He drove to his house and went straight to his room. He couldn't stop thinking about that night. He couldn't remember anything except when he saw Parker on the stretcher. He missed her but he vowed never to drink again. He knew he would do it again if he did. He never wanted this to happen again.
'How could you do this Richard? You just KILLED your girlfriend, well now you're ex girlfriend but you killed her. And now you're starting to like Kori. She's the new girl in school Richard. Leave her alone. Your just gonna end up killing her. Just like you killed Parker.' He kept thinking. 'I like Kori and I need to move on I can't keep dwelling on the past.' He thought back 'Even if the past just happened only 2 days ago?' he asked himself. He flopped down on his bed and against his will started to cry.
Down the street Kori was raiding her closet. She was looking for all the possible outfits. She finally decided to wear a denim mini skirt a white spaghetti strap top and white sneakers. She scrunched her hair and put a hair tie on her wrist just in case her hair got water in it or something like that. She knew she was ready for a party. For some strange reason she didn't know why but she wanted to impress Richard. So she did her makeup. By that time it was 9:00. 'Crap!' she thought running down stairs. Just as she was about to open the door her sister burst in making out with her boyfriend, or her one night boy. She would never notice if she was gone. She waited until her sister, Karen was fully inside and then ran out and down the street. 'Good thing you wore sneakers.' She thought. When she reached the house the door was open she could hear the music blaring and there were so many people you could see them standing outside. The light seemed to be an orange red inside the house. She walked inside and the heat hit her. Another good thing about wearing what she was wearing. She walked through the mass of people in hopes to find Richard. No such luck. But she did find Roy. He saw her just about the same time she saw him. He walked over to her. "Hey!" he yelled
"Hi!" she yelled back hugging him. Roy felt a jolt in his body.
"Wanna dance?" he asked her pulling her by the wrist to the middle of the room. He got behind her and they started to freak. Richard walked downstairs and saw in the middle of the crowd was Kori. He smiled at the thought that she actually came. Then he saw who Kori was dancing with and his smile faded. He was feeling the green sting of jealousy and he didn't like it. Let alone he wasn't even used to it. He always got the girl and the one time he actually likes a girl Roy makes the first move. He loved Parker but she was gone and he and cried all he was going to cry. He had moved on. He kept watching the couple in the center of the floor. Kori had turned and nodded and Roy left. Probably to go get drinks. This was his chance. He hurried down the stairs and to Kori.
"Hey you!" he yelled to her over the music. Kori turned to face him. He quickly scanned her body. She was beautiful.
"Hey!" she said giving him a long hug. A slow song came on. "May I have this dance?" he asked smirking. She smiled back and put her thin hand into his outstretched hand.
"Yes you may." She put her arms around his neck and he put his hands gently on her small waist. As they started to dance he lowered his hands to her butt. She didn't care she felt comfortable with him. Even though she only knew him for a day she still felt a connection between them. The song ended and Roy came back. It took them a while to register the song had ended and Roy was standing there. "Uh hey Kori can we talk?" Roy asked.
"Sure." She replied following him. He led her upstairs and to a random room. It looked to be a guest bedroom. She sat down on the bed and he sat right next to her.
"So Kori how's school so far?" he asked looking towards her and putting his hand on her knee. "Um great." She said shifting uncomfortably
"Well that's good." He said lowering his tone and moving his hand up her leg and moving in for a kiss. She quickly moved her head so he kissed her cheek. But his hand kept moving up and soon disappeared under her skirt. She drew in a sharp breath. Oh what she wouldn't give for Richard being here. She stood up. "Hey what's wrong did I not do it right?" he asked in a pissed off tone. "Look I'm just not interested." she said "that's not gonna happen. "You're not leaving!" he said getting up from the bed as she put her hand on the gold knob. He took her wrists and pinned her to the wall. He slammed her mouth against hers. Once he took away his mouth. "Stop!" she said more strongly. Once she said that Richard opened the door. "Roy what are you doing?" he asked looking like a pissed off boyfriend. "Rich!" he said nervously. "We were just playing a little game." Again sounding nervous and releasing her.
"That's all you better be doing." Richard glared at Roy and took Kori out of the room. He led her to his room and shut the door behind him.
"You ok?" he asked walking over to her and putting his hands on her ice cold shoulders. He started to rub her arms to warm her up. "Yea I'm fine. A little scared but fine nonetheless." She said shuddering about what had just happened. When she thought about it more and more he started to well up with tears in her eyes. She hugged him and started to cry on his shoulder. He embraced her as well and started to rub her back in a comforting manner. "If you hadn't been there I don't know what I would have done." She sobbed into his shoulder.
"Hey, hey it's ok. I'm here." He whispered into her ear. She soon fell asleep on his shoulder with him holding her. 'Good thing she isn't heavy' he thought picking her up bridal style and placed her gently on his flannel sheets. He put a blanket over her and went back down to the party. About 3 hours later he went back up to his room expecting to find her still sleeping but when he opened to dark mahogany door there was nothing laying on his bed. He searched for a note and found nothing. He worried that Roy might have found her. Knowing Roy he wouldn't stop with Kori, once he found a girl he would keep going after her until he got the girl. He was worried about Kori. Roy definitely had his eye on her.
Back at Kori's house she crashed completely on her bed until she awoke the next morning.
"Ugh. That is the last time I go to a party on a school day." She told herself and went downstairs. She had just finished her shower and hair and makeup and now she was heading downstairs to catch breakfast, if there was any and to go to school. She still had the whole week ahead of her. A whole week with Roy. But on the bright side a whole rest of week with Richard.
