“No don’t leave not yet please.” I begged him he was about to get up off the couch and leave and I couldn’t let him not yet I still needed something from him…a kiss one kiss…my first…
“Why not?” he looked down at me laying on the couch I fell over when he got up and I was now sitting up on my elbow reaching the other hand out to grab his hand and lightly pull on it so he would sit back down. He leaned toward me we closed our eyes and leaned…
My eyes shot open and my alarm clock on my night stand swam into focus it was light outside and the clock said I had 45 minutes to get ready for the party. I leaped out of bed ran down the thin hall of my apartment and turned left into my bathroom and turned on the shower hot and ran back down the hall to my bedroom grabbed my towel. I ran back down the hall to the bathroom, once there I quickly closed the door and undressed and jumped in the hot water. After my shower I looked at the time and yanked a brush through my hair and blow dried it. When I finished blow drying my hair I curled it and pulled it back into a ponytail. I rushed down the hall to my closet, I flung the doors open and found my yellow and pink two peace bathing suit and grabbed my cover up and some shorts and flip flops I through it all on and ran back to the bathroom swept on some eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow, and lip gloss, when my phone rang, I flung my make up back into the drawer and ran to catch it the caller id said it was Mason.
“Hey there.” I answered the phone putting it to my ear.
“Hey we are running late, we’ll be there in five” mason answered me.
“Perfect I am running late too” I told him not so embarrassed now.
“See you in a few”
“k, bye.” I hung up and set the phone down and ran down the hall to my room grabbed my sweet shirt and my purse when I reached my room again there was a man in the corner leaning against the wall casually, he was about my height probably a little taller, light brown hair some dirty blond mixed in, bleached from the sun, eyes green and beautiful but withheld many secrets. He stepped towards me now and I saw all his features.
“JORDAN!” I ran up to him and leaped into his arms thronging my arms around his neck, my legs raped tightly around his waist in a vice. He put his arms around my waist not letting me fall. “Oh Jordan your home you’ve been gone forever!” I said burying my face in his shoulder tears flowing now Jordan was my Best Friend in the whole world but he had left 3 years ago he had left so he could fly under the radar, see Jordan’s a drug dealer and he is best with the most dangerous type of drug there is…Angle Dust…it makes one person almost invisible and inhuman strength and speed, it also causes dilutions.
“Yes I’m home and this time I am here to stay.” He said with a smile.
“You are that’s great Jordan!” I finally had him back and he being here to stay was even better. Then my cell phone rang from my back pocket. Jordan moved one hand so he could keep me up then used the other to fish in my pocket for my phone then I realized it was probably Mason and he would see that and it just wasn’t a good thing. He found it I tried to get it but he had already read the caller ID. Mason.
“Who is Mason?” he asked watching me carefully.
“Oh a new friend” I told him reaching for the phone so I could answer it. “Hello?” I asked into the phone breathless I hadn’t realized I had been holding my breath until I clicked the little green button that said talk.
“Hey we are waiting down stairs do you need more time we can wait?” he asked you could tell he was a little worried he had probable been waiting for a few minutes.
“Um I’ll be down in two minutes I have to finish up.” I said shutting the phone. Jordan looked at me curiously.
“Am I keeping you?” he asked raising one eye brow.
“Yes. I mean no I mean I have two minutes.” I said shoving my phone in my back pocket, and then clung to him tighter.
“Ok well I’ll do a summary of what has been going on with me.” He said look at me in his arms, “well I left, I met some new people specifically this girl named CeCe, she’s very pretty, smart, my girlfriend, talented, and more.” He said the word girlfriend hoping I wouldn’t notice.
“You have a Girlfriend that’s…great I’m very happy for you, J.” I said solemnly.
“I know you hate it you are in love with me you hate this but you try moving on but you can’t because you know you’re never going to find anyone as good as me.” He said staring at me like I was a crown jewel like there was nothing more beautiful, more precious than I. He was right I then quoted him on something he told me long ago. “Like an open book so easy to read, not easy to please.”
Then he said it my favorite line he would always say. “You’re like an open book so easy to read, not easy to please.”
"I love you too now i really do need to go will you come lock the door on my way out? And then you can climb down the fire escape." i said as i walked down the hall towards the front door. He caught my arm and turned me around to face him. He looked at me with appreciative eyes.
"I love you Alex." he said then leaned in and kissed my forehead, i was dazed for a minute, then i regained composure and turned to walk out the door, i called over my shoulder a quick good bye and then i was gone, i never looked back.

I bounced down the stairs of my apartment building, seeing Kurt and Mason and there was someone else, a girl, her back was to me so i could see her hair it flowed down her back, in beautiful curls of auburn, then she turned as mason pointed towards me and said something looking at her admiring her beauty once she turned all the way to me i saw that she had beautiful cobalt blue eyes that were simple amazing, her lips were full but still small, her eyelashes were flared out and gorgeous, her makeup was not heavy so much as it was dark.
"Hey guys what’s up?" i said reaching them i looked at Mason now peeking to my right at the girl, Mason noticed.
"This is my beautiful girlfriend Sydnee." he waved to his left at the girl putting one arm around her shoulder, she smiled up at him automatically putting her arm around his waist, then she turned to me and smiled and reached out her hand for me to shake.
"Hi I’m Sydnee, feel free to call me Syd." she said as i reached out and grasped her hand smiling too.
"Hi I’m Alex and I’ll-" i stopped mid-sentence almost resisting my Waitress introduction that the boss had drilled into all of us the first day on the job, “sorry i do that sometimes." mason and Kurt laughed and so did i we got why i did it, but Sydnee didn't understand she looked at us like we were a few sandwiches short of a picnic basket.
"Am i missing something?" she asked looking at all of us.
"No not really sweetie you see Alex is a waitress too." oh hey maybe Sydnee is a Waitress to.
"Oh i see she was going to say her intro, it's okay i do that sometimes too." Sydnee laughed
"You know me and Kurt met Alex the same way I met you."
"Really? Oh how weird." Sydnee said looking around at the circle of people around her, then back to Mason.
"Well let’s not stand here like we are stupid there’s a party out there to go to." Mason announced, and we all whooped and hollered in unison. We all piled into Masons Red 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche, mason and Sydnee in front holding hands, me and Kurt in back, i sat being Sydnee, and Kurt behind Mason. Our drive to Grand Rapids was long but me and Sydnee giggled and gossiped through the whole thing, while Mason and Kurt talked sports and hunting.


When we got to the party it was Amazing twinkly lights, and paper lanterns were strung up between posts, a juice/food bar under a little cabana, the DJ was blasting my favorite song My Hearts a Stereo by Maroon 5

the sun would be setting in an hour it was amazing. I grabbed Kurt’s hand.
"Dance with me?" I shouted over the music, he smiled at me wide and we ran over to the dance floor.

Me and Kurt had been dancing for an hour when all the sudden the music changed a slow song.
"This song is from Mason Angora, to all you couples out there <3." i had been looking at the DJ when all the sudden Kurt took me in his arms and spun us in a circle then we went into a more steady beat to the music back and forth, 1-2-3 1-2-3

, I chanted in my head.
"You know I've been meaning to ask you something." he said he peeked through his lashes at me.
"Oh and what is that?" I asked as he turned us in another full circle.
"If you would like to be my girlfriend?" he said, he blushed then presenter a simple silver ring, a silver band with a little design on it, and a circle on top and in the center of the circle was a small jewel, a sapphire, my birth stone, it was gorgeous. "It’s a
