[Bitter-Sweet Lives]
Chapter 7; Raivis
After Alice's father was arrested Alice stayed with the Braginski family. Alice also dates More now, even though More blushes every time she kisses him. Alice does the same when he does too. Any who, let's get to what is going on now. Genesis sighed, she was drawing in her sketchbook . Somehow she found herself drawing Raivis and her holding hands. She blushed, and turned the page to a new sheet of paper. She turned on her ipod, and put it on shuffle. This is what she did in her free time, draw and listen to music. She sighed, the next picture was of Raivis holding a flower… she frowned, was she seriously doing this? Drawing her crush in her free time? She put her sketch book up, thinking of something to do. She paced around her room, she couldn't think of anything. She heard a little vibration, her phone received a text message. She picked her phone up, it wasn't a number she knew. She opened the text… it was Raivis, he wanted to know if she wanted to go to the park. She added the number to her contacts and replied with a yes. She smiled widely, this was her first date, ever. She went to her closet and put on a shirt and capris.
Genesis went downstair to ask if she could go to the park. Her mother shrugged "As long as you have your phone and don't talk to strangers I'm fine by it" she said, Genesis smiled "Thank you mama" she said, heading to the door. When she walked out it was hot, but the wind toned down the heat. She looked down as she walked to the park nearby, this was a habit she got from her mother. She entered the empty park, her long white hair down and the wind blowing it behind her. She looked around, she didn't see Raivis. A couple minutes went by and he wasn't in sight. So, to pass the time she went over to the playground that was there. Yes, she knew she was too old to want to play on it. But, she liked climbing on top of the monkey bars.
Genesis sighed, she was sitting on top of the monkey bars, searching for Raivis. She hugged her knees, what if this was just some mean joke? Would Raivis do that to her? She took a shaky breath, scared that it might just be some sick prank. She heard fast foot steps beating on the little brick passage way that circled around the small public garden. Genesis looked to see what was creating them. Raivis was running in her direction, a troubled look on his face. "Genesis I'm so sorry I went to get you this and the line and the-" he cut himself off when Genesis jumped off the monkey bars and hugged him. "What did you get me?" she asked when she pulled away, it wasn't every day a guy got her a gift. He blushed and held out a LIly with a bow and a note attached to it. She blushed too, taking it in her hands.
Genesis turned the small note to face her, it read 'Do you want to be my flower?' her blush deepened, putting any tomato to shame. Raivis looked at her carefully "W-Will you?" he asked, he couldn't believe he got the words out. She gave him another hug, squeezing him tightly. He hugged back. When she pulled away she nodded "As long as you water me" she said. He nodded "With my love" he said. There was a silence. He was just standing there, with those lips… Genesis couldn't help herself and her own lips were on his within a second. Raivis hesitated but soon with with it. The moment stayed like that until Genesis pulled away. "T-that was my first k-kiss" she said, putting her fingers on her cold lips. He nodded, doing the same to his own, warm lips "M-mine too" He wrapped his arms around her, making her smile "I-I love you" she said, he returned it "I l-love you too"
Raivis and Genesis walked for around for a little bit before a question popped in Genesis's head "How did you get my phone number?' she asked, he looked over at her "Oh, More gave it to me. I don't know why though…" She shrugged "Okay then…" They stayed in silence before Raivis sighed "What would your father think? I'm just the boy who comes to work at your house, it's no secret he wouldn't want his daughter dating someone like me" Genesis frowned "I don't care what he thinks, all I know is that I love you and that's not going to change" He gave her a half smile as she continued "Besides, I gave you my first kiss. So I'm not letting you go away just yet" She pecked his cheek.
After a while Genesis had to go. But before she did she gave him a kiss. When she walked away she knew Raivis was blushing, because she was too. Genesis sighed, holding the lily he gave her close. He was so sweet, it's hard to imagine that a girl his age hasn't wanted him. She walked onto the porch of the house, standing there for a moment. She heard someone yell… it was her mother. Genesis opened the door, looking around. She saw her mom in the kitchen and boy was Caitlin cussing like a sailor. "Mom? You okay?" she asked. Caitlin had her hand in a cloth, a bloody one "Yeah, I should stop trying to cook' she gestured to the cutting board, it had a half cut fruit and a knife with crimson on it. Genesis couldn't help but giggle "Is it okay?" Caitlin nodded, giggling with her daughter "It's just a small cut" She got a bandaid from the drawer and put it on her hand "See? All better" she said.
