   CHAPTER 41 - Stuck with you

HE KISSED ME!!!

Woho!

I know I am getting mad every second, but if the person you have been crushing on since you were six kisses you, then it's a huge deal man.

I can still feel his warm, soft lips on mine. It gives me sparks every time I touch my lips.

I know, that was so damn cliche but it's okay to be cliche sometimes.

When we were coming home after getting my pump, he kept insisting about going to the hospital for a check-up but I refused. I was better after the mouth to mouth. After that kiss, to be honest.

Then this morning, I went to Dr. Brown and he said that everything's alright. Must be a panic attack and gave me some pills. And then, I figured out one more thing, I was over reacting the whole time. I am never like that when I get an asthma attack. I guess, it was because of the news that I read about Sarah Arthur's death. Maybe I was just to scared about dying the way she did. Due to getting panicked. And instead of keeping myself in control, I went out of control and maybe that's the reason why I was thinking that I'll die.

Silly me. I will keep that in mind from now that never panic during an attack.

God, that kiss! It just kept roaming in my head. And discovering that Ryan's Shaggy, kept me thinking. 

Do he remember me as his childhood friend?

If yes, then why didn't he tell me before? Why I had to find it out by Ashton's phone?

And how could I be so stupid and not realize it? 

I always feel that different vibe around him but never though that he will be Shaggy. I always feel that bond with him that I never felt with anyone except of Shaggy. I felt safe around Shaggy, just like I do near Ryan. His smile reminded me of someone familiar, and that familiar thing was Shaggy. The things he told me, kept me thinking that I've heard it before, because it was Shaggy's. His husky and deep voice reminded me of someone, of someone who I've spend a lot of time with, he was Shaggy.

All of it was Shaggy and I couldn't make it out? Why? 

I was lost in my dreamland, also known as Ryan land, when I heard a soft knock on the door. I got up from my bed, which I wasn't willing to do, and opened my door, revealing my lovely father.

"Sup?" I said, holding the door knob.

He looked confused by my way of greeting so I said,"Leave it, what's up dad?"

He smiled and said,"You went to Dr. Brown in the morning?"

Oops, now I know why he's smiling so widely, it's his torture therapy. He acts super sweet when he's angry with you to make you feel guilty. And what the hell Dr. Brown? Do you have to tell him everything?

"Umm, yeah." I smiled innocently, trying to fade away his anger, but looks like it isn't working because he patted my cheek with the wide smile (or the torture smile) and said,"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because you weren't home." I mocked him and patted his cheeks, just like he did.

"You should have called me?" he stated in his oh-so-sweet tone. I'll get diabetes if he talked like this for one more minute with me.

"I don't have to disturb you every time I get an attack dad." I said. 

His face left the wide fake smile and the soft, worried face appeared,"It's not called disturbing Princess. I am never disturbed by you. You're my kid. And what if it was a severe attack?"

For a second, I 'awwed' in my head. My dad cares about me so much.

"Dad, it was a normal attack. It was my way of reacting to it that made it a bit severe. I just couldn't find my pump. And I am alright now." I chirped.

He pulled his confused look again and asked,"Then how did you get better? If you lost your pump?" 

"Um..someone came here and bought it for me from the drug store." I stammered. He should not know that Ryan came here or he'll kill him. I know, my over-protective daddy. But hey, I didn't felt good because of the pump, it was because of something else. 

"And who's that 'someone'? he asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Um..Ryan." I smiled sheepishly, waiting for his reaction.

He thought for a good few minutes and then spoke again,"That kid did a nice job. I liked him the moment I met him. It's like I've seen him somewhere before."

Of yeah, my dad used to come with me to the park sometimes, and that's where he must have seen Ryan. And he still remember him? Wow!

"He is great." I blurted out, causing dad to look at me suspiciously.

"I'll go for now. But remember kid, call me when you need help." he said, more like ordered.

I saluted him and said,"Yes captain."

He left the room, chuckling when an idea popped in my head...

Let's go meet Jess and Blair.

-

-

Ahh, it was nice meeting my friends. Long time.

That's the only thing I hate when school's closed, you can't really see your friends as much as you do during school days. But only this particular thing, otherwise, I not very interested in going to school. Especially on days like this, when the snow is falling heavily.

I think I made the wrong decision to leave Jess's house. It's snowing so heavily, it can be dangerous. The roads can block. But I, being the stubborn one, didn't agree with them and left the house. I should have stayed. But the good thing, I am wearing a long coat so I won't feel the cold. Hahaha.

The road was covered with thick layer of snow and the view was almost invisible when I passed 5th Avenue...or is it 6th Avenue?? God, it's all white here. I can't see anything!!

The engine was making weird noises which made me to tense. 

What if my car will stuck here?

Nooo, that can't happen.

I started the car but it wasn't moving, just making some noises. No no no, start my baby Imphala, start.

I tried again..but didn't work.

I roared the engine and the car started, giving me relief. But seems like God didn't like the idea because as the minute I started driving, something...or maybe someone came in front of the car, making me to push the brake immediately and there...the engine goes down again.

Thank you God, you're really helpful to me today! Note the sarcasm.

I was in pure anger so  I came out of the car to  yell at the stupid someone, who was basically, trying to kill him or herself in front of my car.

As I came out and stormed near that person, I saw those beautiful blue eyes, looking at me.

Oh no!

Ryan...

"Hey Cupcake. Great seeing you here." he chirped. Really? You made my car to stop again and you're saying 'hey' to me?

"Why are you trying to kill yourself?" I yelled.

"Ooh, chillaz Rasberry. I was going home when the snowfall began. I didn't come by my car so I decided to walk but then I saw your car coming so I thought,'Why not drive with Jady'." he explained in his fake cheerful tone.

"How did you know that it was my car?" I asked.

He pulled back his iconic smirk and said bluntly,"Oh come on Cupcake, you have such thing in this town?"

What does THAT mean?

He begin to get in my car when I grabbed him by his arm and asked,"What does that mean?"

"That means that who have such an old car here?" he spoke.

"Its.Not.Old. It's vintage." I warned.

"It's called old." he replied quickly.

I ignored him and got into the driver's seat.

"Come one driver. Let's get me home." he ordered.

I glared at him and clenched my jaw,"I am not your driver."

He didn't reply, just chuckled.

I tried my best to roar the engine and yes, it started.

"By the way, are you sure this thing will take us safely back home?" Ryan asked, pressing his head on the head rest of the seat, staring at me.

"Of course. Why do you think that it won't?" I asked, trying to drive, which was near to impossible.

"Because to be honest, this is an old car so it won't be able to take the load of dragging it on such a thick layer of snow. Plus, it's fuel must have frozen." he stated.

"It's totally fine. My baby will get us safely home in just time." I said proudly.

-

-

"Why would you use such an awful car Jade?" he shouted.

"What did I know that it will get off? And why are you shouting? If you hate it so much then why did you get in it at the first place?" I yelled back.

He sighed and banged his head on the head rest, looking away from me. I did the same and looked away.

So, after I begin driving to God knows where in the dense fog and snow, the car suddenly stopped. Ryan tried to fix the engine and all but it couldn't be fixed because it's the effect of the heavy snow. And now, we are at a place that we couldn't recognize because of the fog and snow and yelling at each other.

I begin too murmur something under my breath when he turned to me and asked,"What? What are you saying?"

"Nothing." I said in a harsh tone. Believe me, I didn't like the idea of treating him like this because he almost saved me last night but he's just being so irritating.

I heard him sigh and say,"I am sorry!"

I turned to him with sparkling eyes and said,"What? I didn't hear it?"

"Sorry!" he shouted.

"No problem." I said.

Awkward silence.....

But then, my mind kept bugging me to ask him something

I shyly turned to Ryan and said softly,"Ryan?"

"Mmm.."

"Do you...remember it?" I asked but he didn't move. He was still staring outside, where everything was covered with snow.

"Remember what?" he asked softly, still looking out.

"About the whole park thing?"

"Yeah." he said softly, making me to shiver.

He remember it??

"Then why didn't you tell me?" I asked.

He turned to me and said,"Because I didn't wanted you to see me as the same seven years old Ryan."

Why?

"But why?" I asked.

"I don't even know myself. I just didn't..it didn't feel right to me. I wanted to see if you remember me or not. And you do, that's a relief." he said, smiling at the end part.

I smiled back and said,"Thank you."

He looked at me with confusion and asked,"For what?"

"For saving me yesterday, like you always have been doing." I smiled.

I was shifting my legs toward the door when I suddenly felt pain in my leg. I cried out, causing Ryan to turn to me.

"What happened?" he asked.

"I don't know. It's just my leg.." I said when I saw a cut on my lower lap and discovered a hard, sharp material which was peeking out of the door. This must be the thing that caused the cut.

"Let me see." he said, pulling my leg towards him. He examined the cut for a good minute and then said,"Remove your jeans."

I stood still for a second and then reacted,"WHAT?"

He looked at me like I am a five year old and said,"Remove your jeans."

"But why?" I stammered. What is he trying to do? Is he going to rape me? No, I trust him for that. He'll never do something so stupid. But then why?

"God, you're so stubborn. You've to remove it so that we can clean up the cut and apply some ointment on it." he explained like I am a kid.

"But you can clean it without me taking it off." I stated.

"I'll clean it with water, so the jeans will get wet and then you'll feel cold. Do want to get cold in this already cold weather?" he said, I could sense a little irritation in his voice. But this guy has a point.

"I am going outside with the bottle so that your stupid car won't get wet. Come out without the jeans, okay?" he said while opening his door.

"But promise me something..you'll not make fun of me or say something when I take it off." I said.

He frowned and then nodded in agreement.

Should I do it?

I am wearing a long coat so he won't be able to see anything but it still reaches my mid thigh.

"I am not going to wait here in the freezing temperature forever Cupcake." I heard him say.

"Yeah, yeah." I said, taking off my jeans. Ahh, it pains.

I opened the door when the cold wind hitted me. Oooh, so cold, so cold. And I am here pant-less. 

How ironic.

Ryan came near my door, knelled down on his knees and opened the water bottle while I was sitting on the seat.

He touched the wound while cleaning it with water, causing me to get a 500 waltz shock. 

This guy is making me craaaaazy!!

The blood was almost cleaned up when Ryan said,"You've got hot legs Rasberry."

I gasped and hit his head,"I told you not to say something weird."

"What? I am such stating the truth." he said, smirking, making me to blush like a tomato!

We got inside the car when he asked me,"Do you have a first-aid or something in your car?"

"Yeah, it's in that section." I pointed toward the drawer in front of him.

H pulled out the first-aid box and searched for the correct medicine. He took out the tube of Neosporin and bandage and begin with his doctor like treatment on my leg.

I was staring him the whole time he was doing my dressing. He looked so focused, like he don't want me do get hurt. 

I am falling more over for him and I am loving this feeling.

It was dark outside and we were still stuck in the car. And I was still sitting with no pants. Though, we informed our family but can't expect much because it's snowing heavily. No one can come for the rescue.

Ryan was switching the channels when Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater Revival played..

'I see the bad moon arising.

I see trouble on the way.

I see earthquakes and lightnin'.

I see bad times today.

Don't go around tonight,

Well, it's bound to take your life,

There's a bad moon on the rise.'

Ryan immediately switched off the radio and said,"What an optimistic song for the moment!"

I chuckled at his childish behavior. He is so adorable.

"Let's sleep." he suddenly blurted out. And I nodded in response.

He jumped on the back seat, took off his shoes and lay down comfortably.

Okay, now where I am going to sleep?

"Come one Rasberry. Lay down." he said.

I raised my eyebrows and asked,"Where?"

He pointed to the seat where he was sleeping and said,"Here."

"With you?" 

"You slept with me on New year's eve, what's bad today?" he stated, smirking his heart out!

"I didn't slept with you." I stated.

"I was just giving the literal meaning. Now lay down." he said.

Guess I have no choice. I can't sleep on this seat where I am currently.

I went to the back seat as well. Ryan squeezed in, allowing me some space and I lay down, being careful with my leg.

"Here, I'll hold you so you so you won't fall down." he said, wrapping his hand around my waist. I blushed again at his act and tried to sleep.

The next morning, I woke up to a warm smell..

Ryan.

I was shocked to see that right now, I was between the seat and Ryan. 

How did I came here? I was sleeping on the edge.

So now, I was trapped between them, not that I am complaining.

I looked at his pleasant face. Aww, he looks so cute when he is sleeping.

His arms were still tightly wrapped around me, like he doesn't want me to go. Our faces were just inches away.

I begin running my thumb, making a small heart, on his back. Still observing his heavenly features.

I felt him get up so I closed my eyes again and pretended like I am sleeping.

Suddenly, I felt the his fingers, making the same kind of hearts, I was making a few minutes ago.

Ah, that means he was awake? Awkward!

I opened my eyes in shock and saw him smiling at me.

I felt him leaning in towards my lips. His eyes were fixed on my lips. A little blush creeped on my cheeks.

Then all of a sudden, his lips were on mine. One of his hand was over my cheek and another one was playing with my hair. I could feel the fire crackers in my stomach.

I still couldn't believe I was kissing him. It wasn't like the kiss from yesterday because I didn't respond to him. But this kiss, I am totally devoted to it. Of course, it's my first kiss and I was happy to share it with this devil that love.

We pulled away for air, our forehead still pressing against each others when he pulled me on top of him.

"You just lost the bet." I said between my pants.

He smiled and said something that caused me to blush even more..

"And I don't regret it even a single bit." he smiled and again crashed his lips against mine.

******

YAY! They kissed! Their first ever kiss! Yesterday's kiss was nothing in front of it! And what Ryan said, wasn't it cute? 'I don't regret it even a single bit'. Aww! :p

Sorry about the kissing scene, I know I sucked at it. I was kinda disgusted while writing it! :pp

Hope you guys liked their kiss! :p
