Riley

Its been a couple weeks since school started. Since I met her. I regret that those idiots discided to pick on her but if they never did I would have never met her. Ellie and I planned to hang out at my place for a little bit then maybe going out. Just for fun. I cleaned up my room, did all my chores to get my permission. My mom said that I'm allowed to hang out, I really look forward to this.

*ding*

My mom yelled from the kitchen,"RILEY DOOR!"

My stomach filled with butterflies. God I'm nervous. I ran down stairs and open the door immediately.

Ellie stood there with her backpack and with a dorky smile,"Hey"

A few seconds have passed but I found myself lost in her gleamy eyes,"hey..."

We stood there, staring at one another. Why do I feel compelled to just kiss her. To kiss those perfect pink lips.

Ellie blinked,"uh are we just gonna stand here or.."

I snapped back into reality,"OH. Uh yea" I chuckled with embarrassment,"come in"

Ellie walked in and took in all her surroundings,"Wow, nice place you got here Riley" she turned and smiled to me.

I smiled back,"Yea it is, um mom we're going to be in my room."

No reply.

"I'm not hearing a no."

We ran up the stairs. Ellie right at my heels. We entered my room,"WELCOME, to my lair!!!" I said this with my arms in the air. God I felt like such a dork.

Ellie smiled,"So what do you wanna do?"

"Um, we can play my playstation? You like games?"

She put her stuff down and sat on my bed,"Of course"

I looked at her. Then back at the game, it was in and loaded and ready to play. I sat next to her and handed over the controller.

A few minutes have passed before I realized I have been staring at her. That perfect hair tied up, those perfect green eyes, that scar at her eyebrow, just completes her tough look. Ellie caught me staring. She turned and looked at me. I didn't notice how close we were. I could feel her warm breathe on me.

I grabbed the controller from Ellie hands and set it down on the floor.

Ellie winced. I immediately looked down to see why. I totally forgot her hands were hurt from that day. I look back at her then down to her knuckles. I raised up her hands and gently kissed them. Ellie looked at me in shock. Completely speechless.

"I'm-I'm sorry if-if I made you feel uncomfortable." Jesus why was I stuttering.

Ellie's face relaxed,"No, it's fine, it's more than fine."

She smiled. I kept looking at those lips. I felt myself leaning in. Closing that gap between us. Why was she so beautiful? Why does she make me so weak?

Ellie stood up, her cheeks were red. Embarassment maybe? "I'm sorry I don't think I'm ready for this."

My heart sank. I felt shameful, disappointed, embarassed, stupid. "No, it's okay, it was stupid anyways."

Ellie sat back down next to me but closer than before. "No Riley, it isn't stupid. I feel the same way."

I got those butterflies again,"You do?" I stared at her with wanting eyes. Please let me kiss you.

Ellie looked towards the wall,"Yea of course I do, I just never kissed someone before."

She had a hint of shame in the way she spoke. I gathered myself,"You know I've never kissed anyone either."

Ellie's head shot towards me,"You serious? You've never kissed anyone?"

Now it was my turn to look at the wall,"No, never, pathetic right."

"No, not at all, Riley" She stared at me with desire.

I didn't realize I had been holding her hand this entire conversation. I raised her hand to kiss it once more. Three soft, slow kisses.

Those kisses sent feelings throughout my whole body. Is this what it feels like to be in love? I layed back. Sighing and feeling overwhelmed. Ellie stared at me and followed me. She threw herself backwards next to me.

Her now at my side. I turned to admire her beauty and found her inches away from me. Her green eyes twinkling. I closed my eyes. Please let me do this Ellie.

I leaned in slowly. I still feel her warm breathe on me. I felt the tip of her nose hit mine. I shifted to the left slighty. I hope I don't fuck this up. I parted my lips. Please don't back away.

I drew closer and closer. Feeling more warmth.

I felt her lips pressed against mine. An explosion of feelings swept throughout me. I kissed her ever so slowly. I felt her kiss me back. God I love her.

My inexperienced lips pressed closer to hers. It was such a short kiss. Ellie drew back. Her cheeks flushed. She smiled at me. "Can I stay for the night?"

My heart exploded with happiness,"Please my love."
