That Girl Who's Always Alone At The Back

Chapter xi – w8in4u

“Now you’re mine, as I am yours.” I heard her say.

Somehow, I remembered when the first time I saw her, that first day of school. My heart was racing as fast as that time. Now Rianne Gray is what I always think about. All I want is her. Rianne Gray and her short dark hair. Rianne Gray and her dark brown eyes. Her lips that tasted like cherries with mint. Her soft fingertips that traced all of my outline.

Rianne Gray…

“I love you.”

She was shocked as I was when she heard that I said those words to her. She took both of my hands and held them tight as they overlapped one another. As if they were made for each other, like puzzled pieces.

I felt her soft lips on mine. Not giving a fuck about the people around us in the mall, I placed my right hand on her cheek and the other on her waist. I closed my eyes as I kissed her with all I am. Like we were the only people around.

“We don’t have classes this Monday.” Rianne Gray said as her head was resting on my shoulder and her hand was in mine. “Let’s watch movies on your house tomorrow.”

I kissed her cheeks. “Sure.” I smiled.

Live for you by ZHIEND played on our earphones. She was singing to it the whole time.

Rianne Gray’s voice was so sweet to my ears. Like I could listen to her sing until the end of the world. Truth is, I don’t mind if the world ends today. Since I spent time with her. And if I’m going to die today, I won’t have any regrets.

“Wanna go somewhere tomorrow, Echo?” Mark texted me.

I wonder what Mark would want from me? “I already made plans with Rianne Gray. Sorry, Brodie.”

“It’s okay.” Mark replied.

I placed my hand on the head of the sleeping girl next to me.

Saying that she was tired and all, I took her to my house to rest. Fortunately, no one was home. I took her to my room and laid her there. I laid next to her as she sleeps. Her arms were around me and all I could hear was her breath and my heart, which is pumping way too loud.

Her face were only a few inches away from me. I could smell the scent of her hair and her cologne. Rianne Gray’s legs interlocked with mine as she mumbles my name.

Looking at her face without glasses feels like I’m looking at different person. The Rianne Gray with glasses was the sexy one while the one without glasses is the cute one. Then I found myself pinching her cheeks.

It made her moan loudly.

“Hey, Jericho we just arrived-“ It was my mom. She heard Rianne Gray moan.

“Sorry for disturbing you kids….” She slowly closed the door to my room as Rianne Gray looked at me.

“Please kill me.”

“Your mom thought we were having sex, aren’t we?” She giggled.

“More or less.” I said.

Rianne Gray bit my shoulders as she rolled over until she got on top of me.

“Wear your glasses.” I said.

“Why? Is girls with glasses your fetish?”

“You look cute with it.” I smiled.

Rianne Gray refused to do my request as she bit my lips until it bled. “You are mine. And mine only.”

……

…

.

And so, Monday came. There were no classes today and I don’t know why. Rianne Gray said she’s come to my house around 3PM. I looked at my phone. It almost blinded me for I am inside my dark room.

2:57 AM

What.

W h a t .

I tried to sleep again. But it failed. All I could ever see whenever close my eyes was Rianne Gray and her smile. All I could hear was her laugher. And her… sexy moan.

Just thinking about her is enough to fill my Will to Live bars. I think I love her. To the point of I am obsessed to her.

It was 6AM when I got up to take my breakfast. I was sleepy as fuck when I faced my parents and my brother on the table.

“How was it?” My mom asked.

“Your girlfriend is a cutie. How did you manage to hypnotize someone like that?” My father said.

“Teach me the ingredients of your love potion, okay?” My older brother said.

“What is wrong with you, people? She was here a week ago.”

“We didn’t notice.” My mom said.

My face met my palm.

“Will she come here today?” My mom asked. “I want to meet her.”

“Yeah. Around 3PM.” I said as I sipped my coffee.

After having breakfast, I texted Rianne Gray.

And she said that it was fine with her and that wanted to meet my parents and to be introduced as my girlfriend.

And now, time is not my ally.

I tried watching anime, but it became boring to me. I browsed memes on Facebook pages, but it was all unfunny. The music that was playing on my ears makes me all the more miss Rianne Gray and time slower as all of the lyrics of the song makes me think more about her.

And then, before I even noticed, I fell asleep. I took my phone to check the time. It was 3:01 PM.

I received a text message from Rianne Gray. “Meet me at the 9/11 near Tatawid. I’ll wait for you.”

I called her, but she was not answering. So I decided to go there. I bought an umbrella since it was raining.

Maybe she wants to eat there first?

But why am I getting worried? Why am I feeling this uneasiness inside my chest?

And when I got there, I saw Mark standing in front of 9/11. Soaked in the rain.

“Hey Mark!” I said. “What are you doing here?”

“I was waiting for you.” He said with his deep and sad voice.

“Where’s Rianne Gray?”

Then I felt a jolt of electricity on my stomach. It was a stun gun.

As my consciousness slowly fades, I heard him say… “You never turned your attention towards me and just shrugged my feelings away… all this time… I have loved you… Jericho.”
