"No one can rewrite the stars,
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I'm not the one you are meant to find"
- Rewrite the Stars, Zac Efron × Zendaya

My love for him was dark, dumb, and cheap
Still I am tangled with him in heap
Everyone told me that I am whipped
I was blind and all I can do is weep

Blinded by the care he showed
All the love he bestowed
In my darkest night he glowed
Like a dog to a master I followed

"What did you see in him anyway?"

"He's not good for you."

"Clara, everyone can clearly see that he doesn't care about you or your one sided love for him."

"Are you blind or just plain stupid?"

"He doesn't love you."

Word by word they come
Swirling and swirling on my mind
People asking why I'm so dumb
Dropping vain words like a bomb

Everyone wanted to show they care
Everyone was already aware
The growing obsession that I can't bare
It is until then that life was so unfair

"I love him and he said he loves me."

"No. He cares about me."

"He's just having a hard time showing it."

"Our relationship isn't one sided!"

"We are okay! Everything is okay!"

It was all I could reply
Because darling they don't know
They don't know our story
Our own reality and fantasy

They don't know about us
Or the way you cared about me
The way you cuddled with me
They don't know about us

"You wrote that poem for us?", turning around I saw Ryder leaning against the door in my room.

Feeling shy, I immediately blushed and hide my own notebook.

"How long have you been in here?", I asked.

"Hm. The moment you recite those words. I was on time, really.", he smiled while walking towards me.

Ryder and me was a whole lot opposite in many levels. He was rich, hot, but rebel. He hardly expresses his feelings to someone. He could've many gorgeous girls with him but he chose me instead.

"Stand up.", he said.

Feeling confused I stand up leaving the chair from my study table. Ryder immediately replaced me from the seat and then he patted his lap.

"Come here.", he commanded.

Feeling embarrassed, I stood still trying to process his words. I mean he was my boyfriend but being close to him made me wanna lose my senses and just wanna breathe his scent.

"I'm waiting.", he repeated, tapping his hand on the study table.

Slowly, I sat on his lap. My face must be so red right now.

He wraps his strong arms on my waist and held me up in place. In between his legs, my back facing him. I could definitely feel his breathe in my neck making goosebumps travel in my body.

I swallowed when one of his arms was slowly making small circles on my hips. Even though I was wearing clothes, the fire in his touch can still make me burn. Still wanna submit on his fiery touch.

"How was your day?", he whispered in my ear.

God, how sensual this man can be.

"It was okay. Yours?", I asked.

He chose to ignore my question.

"What made you write that poem?", he asked. Damn, the question was so hard.

"Are you already tired of us?", he added.

Shocked.

Did the poem really affected him? Us?

"No. Of course not." I said while shaking my head.

"Hm.", his reply was so short. Almost like he was thinking so hard.

"Ryder, what are you thinking?", I asked feeling confused by his actions.

"That I should've treated you better. . .", he trailed off.

My heart automatically beats fast. I'm beginning to feel nervous.

"That I should've gave you my time. Take you to places, go out with you, bond with you. Make love to you.", he said while placing his chin on my right shoulder.

He heaved a big sigh.

"You deserve better, Clara.", he added.

Biting my lips I asked him. Tears pooling in my eyes.

"Are you breaking up with m-me?", damn my voice cracked making him stop and turned my head towards him.

My eyes immediately falls unto his chest but he held my chin up making me stare at his baby blue eyes.

"Why are you asking me that Clara?", he questioned.

"Because you were saying that I deserve so much better. And I think, that was the cue for you to end up things with us. Look I know you can have many girls, gorgeous girls, by your side, and clearly you'll be bored with somebody li--"

I didn't even get to finish my explanation when Ryder smashed his lips on mine, making my eyes widen.

His kisses was so passionate. Holding so much love, care, hunger, fear and frustrations. He was pouring everything in this kiss making my eyes close on their own and kissed him back.

I snaked my arms on his neck and tug his hair making the kiss go deeper. He groaned and immediately turned me around, making me straddle him.

He tasted like mint. Cool but hot and sweet. Making me more addicted to this man.

We pulled away, gasping for air. I buried my face on his hard chest making him chuckle and kissed my head.

The position was turning to be more intimate and the heat radiating from his body is making me feel comfortable, relaxed to be exact.

"Did the kiss answered your question?", he whispered.

I buried my self more in his chest, feeling so shy. He laughs.

"Clara, you are beautiful. No woman could ever make me feel so much emotion, only you. And I am sorry for acting so dumb for not noticing that you need my attention. I'll make it up to you, baby. I love you. This isn't one sided. Let the people judge us. They don't know anything.", he added.

My heart feels like exploding and I slowly look up to him. He held my chin up with his finger and place a small feather like kiss on my lips.

"I love you so much." He said with so much love and sincerity.

Smiling. I replied.

"I love you too and no one's gonna change the way I feel about you. About us.", he smiled and leaned into me for a hot kiss.

If you feel like doubting your partner. Start asking yourself if you really loved him/her. Like Ryder, I accepted him and didn't attempt to change him because I love every single bit of him.

He was a rebel, people doesn't like him but it's okay.

He is my rebel and he loves me.

And I think that's the only thing that matters.
