My eyes widened as I registered what's happening.

Silas just talked.

But most importantly he wants to kiss me.

"Silas, you could talk this whole time" He looked down and nodded his head.

"It's too late to be nodding your head now I already know you talk"

At this point I'm mad as hell. The first month of school I went through a whole block of paper passing notes to this guy in class because I thought he couldn't talk.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner sunshine. I was just scared"

"Scared of what?"

"Scared of getting too close"

I looked at him in shock. We've been friends for about three months now and I think we're getting closer and closer everyday.

I've never had a friend like Silas before. I could go to him with any of my problems and he'll give me good advice.

He's even great with Myra. As you can tell she isn't the nicest kid in the world but Silas still put up with her. If I were him I would've stayed far away from Myra. That girl is evil.

Even my parents like him. Well, maybe just my mom.

"Why would I leave you inky? You're the closet thing I have to a best friend"

"That's the problem, if I get too close to you I'm giving you the opportunity to walk out of my life. The less people I talk to is less people that can leave me"

His head hung low as he talked. I lifted his chin forcing him to look at me. He looks so broken. Like there's no hope for him.

Anger, pain, sadness. That's all I saw in his eyes. He looks like he's been through a lot. I don't want to pressure him to tell me though.

I just turned around and straddled his lap. I hugged him tightly as his hands went straight to my waist.

We stayed in that position for mintues. His hands where placed under my butt so he can hold me up. I ran my fingers through his hair as I softly laid kisses on his neck.

"I was nine years old when my parents left"

He started off. I pulled away from him and looked him in the eyes. He wasn't wearing his hoodie so I had a perfect view of that masterpiece he calls his face.

"Jordan had just been born that day. My egg donor told me to go get my grandma that was all the way in the waiting room. Being the nine year old that I was I listened to her, I went to call my grandma. Come to find out my grandma wasn't anywhere near hospital, they just wanted time to escape"

He paused and looked at me. Tears were threatening to spill out of his eyes. If I ever see his mom I'm pulling out her tracks for leaving Silas.

I nodded my head and motioned for him to continue.

"When I got back to the room my egg donor and my sperm donor were gone. The bags they bought were no longer sitting on the table and the cake the hospital gave her for giving birth was gone. They could've at least left the cake for me if they were going to abandon me"

I let out a small giggle causing Silas to smile. He has a beautiful white smile. He should think about becoming a model.

"Out of all the things they took they left Jordan. She was still sleeping in her little bed next to the hospital bed. It was that day that I decided I never wanted to get close to anyone. If my own parents just up and left me with my newborn baby sister what makes you think anyone I get close to won't leave? So, we lived with our grandparents until I was old enough to adopt Jordan and buy us a house"

Tears were running down my face as I looked at Silas. He made it seem like it's no big deal but his eyes told me he was hurting. He wants to cry but I can tell he's holding back the tears.

Before I could register what I was doing my lips smashed against his. He immediately responded back and stared to suck and pull on my lips. We are kissing like our lives depend on it.

He slid his tongue in my mouth and asked for entrance. I opened up my mouth causing his tongue to go on a journey in my mouth. It's nothing I've experienced before. My body just melts into his effortlessly.

My fingers grip his hair, pulling him closer to me. His hands squeezed my butt as I grind on him. I've never wanted anyone like this before. He makes me feel different.

He lifts me up and gently places me on the couch. His body is pressed up in me to the point where I can feel everything he as to offer. Everything.

I pulled away and looked into his eyes. Lust was all I saw in them. I'm pretty sure mine were the same way.

"I was supposed to kiss you sunshine"

He said as he pulled me on top of him. I laid on his chest while his hands rubbed my bare butt. The blanket must've came off during our kissing session.

"Well I couldn't wait any longer. Your lips were begging to be attacked"

He let out a small laugh. His eyes meet mine and everything seem to freeze. It feels like it's only the two of us in the world. And I love it.

"You are abousltly beautiful sunshine"

"Thank you inky. You don't look bad yourself"

I'm not going to lie being called beautiful is always surprising to me. Being called ugly your whole life and then have someone call you beautiful is a weird feeling that's going take a while for me to get used to.

"Would you like to go on a date with me Friday night at eight?"

"Of course inky. I just have to ask my parents"

He nodded his head and pulled me impossibly closer to him. He laid his head on my chest as I ran my fingers through his hair.

I looked at the Tv and noticed that I forgot to pause the movie. It's now on the hot tub scene.

Silas lifted his head and smiled at the Tv. He started to rub my sides and pepper kisses on my neck

"You want to reenact this scene?"

"Maybe after our date"

He smirked and went back to the movie. I hope he knows I'm just  kidding. I don't even have a hot tub.

As we continued watching the movie my eyes began to drop. I tried to stay awake but I couldn't. The fact that Silas was massaging my scalp didn't help me either.

"I think I like you"

Was the last thing I heard before my eyes closed.

Hours later

"What's happening here?"

I heard someone say. I squirmed in Silas arms until I felt my head rest on his chest. I took in his smell and snuggled closer to him.

I heard Silas shush the person that was talking.

"Did he just shush me in my own house? Myra go get the baseball bat with the nails sticking out of it"

"But dad that's the bat for when Nevaeh gets a boyfriend"

"I know. Go get it"

My eyes slowly opened my eyes when I realised it was my dad talking. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. All this screaming woke me up before dinner.

"Nevaeh would you mind explaining to me why you're sleeping on Silas with nothing but a blanket on"

"Dad we didn't do anything. My stomach is just hurting from the cramps"

My mom left the topic alone and went to the kitchen with Myra. My dad on the other hand pulled me off of Silas and carried me to the chair furthest away from him.

"What did you do to with my daughter Stacey"

"Dad his name is Silas"

"What do you want with my daughter Samantha"

"This might be the wrong time to ask  but can I take Nevaeh on a date Friday night"

My dad looked at him like he was crazy. He was about to answer but my mom already answered for him.

"Yes you can. Have her home by twelve"

Of course my mom said yes. She's been pressuring me to get a boyfriend for years now. She just wants to give me boy advice.

"You're just causally answering like he didn't just talk. I thought you were mute"

"I'm mute by choice. I choose not to talk. But the real question is why aren't you surprised Mrs. Johnson"

"I gave Myra an ice cream cone so she could tell me this secret she kept on talking about. And I guess she's right about you having a lot of tattoos too"

My mom said as she studied the side of his neck. Silas smiled and looked at me from across the room.

"Wait a minute, how did Myra know before me?"

"She gave Jordan a fruit snack so she can tell her things about me"

"Man I should've thought of that"

After my dad was done interrogating Silas he left to bring Jordan home. Apparently her grandma picked her up from school today.

"Bye Silas see you tomorrow"

Both Myra and I said. Tomorrow she has ballet practice so Silas will be picking her up from school.

After dinner I went to sleep with a smile on my face. My date with Silas is in a few days and I can't wait.

Hopefully everything goes right.
