Next Day

Drew's P.O.V

Mom -"Why did I marry you? You made my life hell"

Dad -"You sound like an eighteen year old teen. Please don't spoil my mood okay?"

I am eating breakfast and hearing my parents fighting. They just jump into arguments constantly and now it is a normal part of my everyday life. My home is full of fights and loneliness

Instead of stopping themselves from fighting they had sent me to boarding school when I was seven because I had sunk into a state of fear and depression. They prefer to win the fight rather than solve the problem

Me -"MOM...DAD?"

My relationship with them is cold and distant. I look through the window across the breakfast table, my neighbor Mr. Glazer is playing frisbee with his son in their yard. I wish I were lucky enough like this kid. Despite being a very wealthy man's son I am not blessed with happiness

I jump as my phone buzzes, Marcel's message pops up on the top of the screen saying

"Where are you buddy?"

Me -"Oh SHIT!" my eyes widen

I slide my finger across the screen to reply

Me -"God, I'm sorry...'I'm stuck in traffic'...sent"

I put my plate in the sink and go up to my room, take a quick five minute shower, my blue shirt and dark khaki jeans are folded neatly on my bed

After putting them on I get the gel out to spike up my hair. I leave my room, slinging my bag across my back going downstairs

Me -"Mom I'm leaving"

Mom -"Do not make excuses I am aware of you and your habits"

Dad -"Okay! I am sorry! will you stop now?"

Me -"I NEED YOU TO LISTEN TO ME..MOM..DAD"

I shout out loud but they don't give a damn. I walk towards the door and as soon as I open it, dad stops me calling my name but I don't look back at them.

Dad -"Drew...wait"

Mom -"Honey where are you going?"

Me -"I told both of you last night"

Dad -"When son?"

I let out a deep breath, slowly turn around and smirk at them

Me -"When..while we were having dinner"

Mom -"Yes I remember.." she nudges dad

Dad -"Oh yeah..good luck buddy"

Pressing my tongue against the roof of my mouth I shake my head slightly then head straight to the garage. I start my car, put the transmission into reverse and back the car out of the garage and make my way to Crown Cave Park

I park my car and walk into the park. There are people everywhere, I call Marcel

Marcel -"Hello"

Me -"Hey, where are you guys?"

Marcel -"Near the fountain"

Me -"Okay"

I walk to the fountain and find my team waiting for me, I spread my arms widely

Me -"I'm sorry guys but-"

Marcel -"The traffic was unbelievable right?" he laughs and nudges me roughly

Me -"Yeah..too many people on this planet" I wink and laugh

Carla -"Shall we start now?"

Me -"Yes let's...where's Destiny?"

Carla -"She is roaming with Rachel. Okay Drew let me explain the script"

She hands me several pages of the script with my name scribbled on the top corner and starts explaining the scenes but my mind is wandering, frantically searching for Destiny

Carla -"Drew?"

Me -"Yeah I'm listening" still looking around

Carla -"What are you looking for?"

Me -"Destiny..I mean..umm..let's start shooting but where is Destiny?"

Carla -"Destiny..aha..Rachel is not here either" she winks

Me -"Carla don't spoil my mood! I want them right here, RIGHT NOW"

Carla -"Okay calm down, I'm calling them"

Few minutes later, I see two girls are walking towards my direction. Destiny, swaying her hips, running her hand through her hair, coming close to me. I can't take my eyes off her

Dez -"So f-f-f-finally you're he-he-here"

Biting the corner of her lower lip she flips her hair then crosses her arms. My blondie is wearing a black leather jacket and a midnight blue dress the same color as her eyes. She nods her head and gestures me to speak up

Me -"You look pretty"

Dez -"Tha-tha-tha-thank-thank you"

Marcel -"Okay guys camera rolling, take your positions"

Me -"Girls do you remember your lines?"

They all nod and take their positions. I look down at the script pages but my mind is still stuck on her

Marcel -"Okay..three...two...one... and action"

Destiny walks over to Rachel, sitting on the edge of the fountain

Dez -"Ex-ex-ex-ex-excuse me"

Rachel -"Yes?" takes off her earphones

Dez -"I c-c-c-came-came here with my f-f-f-friends but-but now I c-c-c-can't find-"

Rachel -"Spit it out"

Dez -"I'm s-s-s-s-sorry"

Saying so she walks to Carla, talking selfies

Dez -"Would you m-m-m-mind helping me-me out?"

Carla -"Yes please"

Dez -"I c-c-c-c-can't find my f-f-friends any-where. H-h-h-have you s-s-seen-"

Carla -"Do you always speak like that?"

Dez -"Yeah..."

Carla -"I'm sorry but you talk too slow"

Dez -"S-s-s-sorry for wa-wasting your t-t-time"

She wipes away her tears before they could fall and walks away

Marcel -"CUT! Brilliant girls"

Me -"Okay Dez according to the script, just keep walking aimlessly, pretend like you're not paying attention to the people around you but notice you don't get bumped into them, find somewhere that you can cry then I'll come to you..okay?"

Dez -"Hmm" nods her head

Marcel -"Okay..camera rolling..three...two...one... and action"

Dez starts walking aimlessly, wiping her tears, lost in her thought. A lady with a kid is walking towards her direction. In a blink of an eye Dez bumps into the lady by accident and her phone falls out of her hand. I squeeze my hand before covering my eyes

Me -"Destiny" I shake my head

Rachel -"Marcel keep recording"

Dez -"I'm s-s-s-s-s..sorry" cups her mouth

Lady -"Are you blind?"

Dez -"I am-am s-s-s-sorry"

Lady -"Are you lost in thought?"

Dez -"No I w-w-w-w-was ju-just-"

Lady -"Can you even talk?"

Dez -"I-i-i-i..s-s-s-s-s"

Kid -"Let me finish your sentence. Mom, she is sorry, let it go"

As tears starting to well up in her eyes she runs away crying. Suddenly Carla starts clapping her hand on my shoulder

Carla -"Go Drew go..follow her..GO!"

Me -"Okay but stop hitting me!"

I run after her, reach out and catch her wrist, pull her until our bodies are mere inches apart. We look silently into each other's eyes for a few seconds, tuck her hair behind her ear and gently wipe the tears with my thumb

Me -"Destiny, you're perfectly perfect"

Then suddenly she wraps me tightly in her embrace. I feel electricity running through my body, I'm melting in her arms

I don't know why I'm having a warm fuzzy floating feeling though It's not the first time I'm hugging a girl

Dez -"I'm s-s-s-s-sorry"

She take a few steps back then lowers her chin down closer to her chest but I grab her by her slim waist, pulling her closer, closer and closer, there is no longer any space separating us then with one hand gently I grab the side of her face, her skin is smoother than silk, softer than butter.

I put my cheek against hers so that my mouth is next to her ear, I speak with a deep husky voice

Me -"Your lips are not less red than a coral"

An alluring smile is tugging at the corner of her lips. I lift her chin until her eyes meet mine. Her electric blue eyes run up and down over my face in a quick once over. Her pupils are gradually dilating, hypnotizing me, her gaze locks with mine.

Me -"Your eyes sparkle like the stars"

I lower my head to hers slowly then closing my eyes, lightly graze my lips over hers.

I open my eyes but her eyes are still closed, she seems interested but shy, her lips are slightly parted

The breeze is whispering around me to kiss her

I angle my head and press my lips seductively over hers and time stands still, sparks fly.

Dez -"Mmmm..." she moans

She tightens her grip around my waist without the slightest hint of hesitation. She needed, wanted.

Her lips are like pillows, so incredibly soft, alluring. I am getting enticed by her beauty. I run my hand through her thick soft hair. She is extremely beautiful, I can't find the words to describe her beauty. I have got her under my skin. She is the sweetest drug.

I lift my head, her eyes are impossibly focused on me. I want to stay like this forever.

Claps erupt beside us, my jaw drops when I see my group surrounding us. Dez steps back, I nervously run a hand through my hair. Marcel walks over to me, gives me a quick bro hug

Marcel -"You're the man!"

Carla -"Aww that was a passionate kiss" she cups her cheeks and does a little dance

Rachel -"Although it wasn't in the script" she laughs while crossing her arms

Carla -"I'm tired, let's go home"

Rachel -"Yeah me too"

Me -"Dez? you alright?"

Dez covers her face with both hands then walks away, I follow and stop her grabbing her wrist.

Me -"D-d-destiny?" words freeze in my throat

Dez -"Yes?" a light twinkle comes into her eyes as she turns to me

Me -"Look..I know I should not have kissed you. It was not right...I'm sorry"

She doesn't utter a word. Wish I could read her mind. She never showed me any convincing sign that she likes me too but she let me kissed her without any resistance, what does it mean? I really want things to work between us.

Me -"Dez would you..like me to take you home?" I ask hesitantly

She nods then we go to the parking lot, I walk over to my car and unlock the doors. I open the door for her like a real gentleman.

Dez -"T-t-t-t-t-thank you" she gets into the car

Me -"Dez would you like to listen to some music?"

She keeps her face turned toward the window, lost in thought again. I turn on the radio

'For all the times that you made me feel small

I fell in love now I fear nothing at all'

Dez -"One-one of my f-f-f-f-favorites" looks at me

Me -"Would you like going to a restaurant for lunch?" I smile nervously

I drive to a nearby restaurant as she nods her head. We walk into the restaurant

Waiter -"Would you like a table?"

Dez -"Ne-ne-ne-ne-near to the win-window"

Waiter -"Please come with me"

She sits directly opposite me, playing with the salt shaker, my blondie.

Waiter-"What would you like to start with?"

Dez -"S-s-s-spiced chick-pea p-p-p-pita"

Me -"Creamy mushroom soup..thank you"

The waiter nods and writes down the orders.

Dez turns her face towards the window, playing with her earring, looking like a super model. I have

to grease the wheels of conversation

Me -"I don't like spicy food"

Dez -"I l-l-l-love food, all k-k-kinds of f-f-food" she chuckles

Me -"Aha...Destiny?"

Dez -"Are-are we d-d-d-d-dating?"

Me -"No no..we're just friends"

I nervously wipe my sweaty hands on my pant legs

Me -"Dez, who has been the biggest influence in your life?"

Dez -"My f-f-f-family. They al-always moti-motivate me. My m-m-m-moral core and foun-foundation is f-f-f-from my m-m-m-mom. D-d-dad t-t-t-taught me to be p-p-p-personally honest, to n-n-n-n...never lie to my-myself and my sis-sis-sister always knows how-how to ch-ch-cheer me up-up when I'm d-d-d-down. When I'm with-with them I f-f-feel like I'm s-s-s-s-standing with an ar-ar-ar-army"

Me -"It sounds like you have such a wonderful family"

Dez -"T-t-t-thanks and h-h-h-how about you?"

I take a deep breath and confidently say

Me -"Myself. I've always very self motivated. I don't depend on others to cure my loneliness"

Her eyebrows are raised high, seems genuinely surprised

Dez -"And someone s-s-s-special has en-encouraged me, in-inspired me highly"

Me -"Who?"

Dez -"You know-know him"

Me -"Do I?"

Dez -"I u-u-used to be so a-a-a-afraid if I s-s-s-stuttered openly around p-p-people, they w-w-would laugh at m-m-m-me but some-someone special t-t-told me that I was s-s-s-squishing my real s-s-s-self. He t-t-taught me how to show-show them the-the real m-m-me"

I smile shyly, at least somebody cares, remembers what I say.

Me -"Destiny?"

Dez -"Hmm?"

Me -"I'm sorry, I should not have kissed you" I'm extremely nervous

Dez -"It's o-o-o-okay" she bites her lower lip

She is a good listener and only she would understand me, what's bothering me and can help me find solutions but it's not the right time to discuss about my life.

Less than a minute the waiter comes back with our food, we eat then I drop her off back at her home and drive back to my home. When I unlock the door and get it I hear mom and dad calling me for lunch

Me -"I had lunch with Des...my friend"

Dad -"With a girl?"

Me -"My friend"

I walk straight to my room, my clothes are already laid out on the bed. I take a cold shower and fall onto the bed like a falling tree, thinking about Destiny, the unintentional kiss.

Me -"I hope she didn't mind. I should write it down in my diary"

Seating myself at my desk, I unlock my left hand drawer and bring out my diary, I only write special things and my thoughts in it.

Me -"HOLD ON! Where's the old one?"

I check every drawer, every shelf in the closet, every place thoroughly in the room but so far I find nothing so I walk down the stairs to the dining room and find my parents talking politely and respectfully to each other.

Me -"Great! You're not fighting"

Dad -"Son we don't fight all the time"

Me -"That's not true dad"

Mom -"You're getting us wrong dear"

Me -"Oh yeah? Your ego says talking nicely to each other is a sign of weakness. Anyway, did you see my old diary? I cannot find it anywhere"

Mom -"Dear you left it in the library"

Me -"I can't remember"

Mom -"Yeah on the table"

I still can't remember as mom knows magic it must be on the table.

I walk up the stairs to the library room and finally find my diary next to a round paperweight placed on top of few papers on the table

Me -"GOSH!"

As I grab the diary, the paperweight rolls off the desk and goes behind the wastebasket.

Me -"I JUST HATE THIS"

When I walk over to the wastebasket, bend down to pick the paperweight up, a red crumpled paper ball catches my eye. I grab and open up the ball, it's an old letter written by mom. 

Will anything happen between Drew and Destiny? What do you think the letter may have said?
