With Love, Ryan (Shattered#1)

.22

| Eleanor |

"I would call it the glow of love. What a lovely shade to wear!"

I rolled my eyes.

"You're taking this way too far."

"I have to. Since you never forgive Mark and now is my time to say hope you understand."

Willow gave me a knowing smile and I couldn't help but agree. .with a scowl.

I get now why women scurries after the man they claim to love.

Oh do I get it now!

"I don't like this one bit." I chomped on the mighty burger furiously.

She leaned over the table being all smug.

"You'll get used to it, my friend. You'll yearn to be with him every day and night—,"

My mouth stopped working.

Staring at her.

She was quick to dip the fry in the ketchup, rotating it in the bowl.

"Sometimes I feel like being with Mark ain't enough. I wanna live in his sperms and be a spermmaid."

I nearly choked on the burger stuck in my throat.

Reaching out for my pepsi, I guzzled it down to wipe off the awful acidic taste.

"Sperm-maid? Ew! That gotta be the most shitty thing I have heard since taliban taking over ." My face morphed into disgust.

She laughed at my face , shaking her head like she found me stupid.

"Oh you wait. Knowing you , you would want to make him your sex slave." Her eyes were brimming with mischief.

"It's too soon for that. We haven't even kissed and—," I halted right there!

Realization hitting me at once.

What in the actual hell. .

We. .

We haven't even kissed!

"Eleanor?" She waved her hand in front of my face.

Forcing me to blink.

"Y-yeah. .," Clearing my throat I tried to keep  my face clean of any emotions." As I said, it's too soon to go under the sheets and I have a class. " I said hurriedly, not even caring if she believed me or looked straight into my lie. Taking my bag, I dumped half the bill on the table while she watched me.

Again, with that knowing smug look.

As if she knew where I was heading to.

I turned around—

"Good luck! Tell him I say hi." She said out loud , the rest of the sentence dying in mid of giggles.

Grudgingly nodding, I walked towards the exit. My mind and heart hell bent on one thing.

We didn't kiss!

"How the hell did we skip that. ." I muttered darkly trying to speed up over the pavement.

All the I love yous are suppose to end up in a wild kiss.

After last night, I went over to my apartment and immediately dialed Willow. Telling her that indeed her assumptions were true.

There was something going on between me and Ryan.

She had squealed , alright.

And I had heard a distinct male voice say babe?
