Chapter Five
We drove through the roads in silence. The wind rushing in the open windows, filling the silence. We got out the car and I lead him about 5 minutes down a small side path. We pushed our ways through the trees until we reached a small field, spotted with tiny purple flowers. We stopped at the edge and admired the beauty of nature in front of us. The peacefulness and tranquillity of this place had always been my comfort zone; a place where I could escape everything.
"Wow" he breathed. I walked into the centre and sat down. He followed me silently.
"This is my haven." I whispered, even though we were the only ones there. "I used to come here all the time when I was little. It was somewhere where I could forget everything. It was my sanctuary whilst my dad fought his cancer. I would come here to just be by myself."
We lay there for a while. It was so quiet we could almost hear our thoughts. I closed my eyes and let myself drift off. I felt Justin sit up. I opened my eyes to see him staring at me.
"You're beautiful." He whispered, inches from my face. I said nothing as he leant down until his lips brushed against mine. His kissed me softly until I found myself kissing him back forcefully, grasping the back of his neck and pulling him down on top of me.
CRAP! I thought and pushed him away, sitting myself upright.
"Justin stop."
"Why? Did you just remember you don't like me?" he asked giving me a small smirk, lightening the mood.
"No, no. I just can't do this. I-I have a boyfriend." I looked away.
After a seemingly long pause he finally said something, "He doesn't have to know. I really like you Madison. You're the only person who treats me like a normal guy." He leant in close to me again. I could feel his warm breath on my lips. My lips started to twitch, aching to kiss him again. But I stopped myself. I couldn't do this.
"We should go." I got up and started walking away. He got up and grabbed my arm. Pulling me back.
He brought his lips up to my ear and whispered, "That's not going to stop me from trying to get you." Then he let go of my arm and started walking back to the car. I followed numbly, not sure what had just happened. What part of 'I have a boyfriend' did he not understand? Although to be honest, it was kind of flattering.
We finally got home at about 10pm. My mom was waiting angrily by the door. As soon as we stepped in she started shouting at me for being so late and not texting or calling her to know we were ok, but I didn't care. I was grateful at having something else to think about because that car journey home couldn't have been more awkward.
