If We Ever Meet Again
(part 33, other parts are on my
profile.)
Ocean City, MD.
June 20
I love car rides. They're so peaceful and calming, when I'm
sitting in the passenger seat You get to look out the window
and just day dream and that's exactly what I was doing.
Sometimes when I'm going somewhere in the car I don't want
to get up, I just want to sit there, forever, and be comfortable. I
guess it's a good thing Tye didn't drive his car here, if
he did I'd be driving right now. I hate driving in when
it's pitch-black outside, but driving around at night has
it's up. The lights, for one, are so beautiful to look at, even
if we are just in Ocean City.
"You tired?" Tye's voice rung
through my ears, I was so into my thoughts that I practically
jumped out of my seat. I shoved my hand away from my check, there
was probably a big red mark from where my hand once sat, and
shifted to look at Tye.
"Just caught up in my thoughts."
Expecting Tye to ask what they were about I turned myself towards
the window again. We just passed an old looking ice cream place
that probably doesn't get much business but it was lite up so
pretty that it had to have dragged some tourist in. I might have
to go there before we leave in a few days.
Tye cleared his throat. "You know what
I've been thinking about lately?"
Me?
I
shook my head, not knowing if he saw me or not.
"This whole baby ordeal and you
going..." He slowly stopped, not finishing his sentence. His
third word caught me offgaurd, baby? What
baby?
"Not yet, don't. But baby?" I
asked rotating myself to looking at him again. Damn, he's so
cute. There’s not any boys at home like him, with looks or
personality. It's crazy to actually find someone in OC. I
mean, we all hope and think about meeting someone wonderful here,
but like 99% of the people never do. I must be getting lucky.
Luck. Or fate. Whichever it may be, I'm so happy it happened.
No, I'm not in love, yet, but he stills makes my tummy feel
funny, even though I'm completely comfortable with him, he
makes my heart beat faster, and when I see him he gives me the
urge to just run up and hug him and never let go. It's
different, yet so similar.
He chuckled. "Kole. Koles baby."
Then a smile eased onto this perfectly shaped face. Oh, that
smile. I can't help but smile too when I see
it.
Kole’s baby, I almost forgot about
that.
"Well what exactly have you been
thinking about when it comes to his soon-to-be baby?" I say
perking up.
"Just how Kelley feels about it, I
mean she can't be too please about it." He sighed.
"But then again, it's not like they've known each
other long.
"Neither have we." My mouth was
thinking much faster than my brain. I could hit myself right now.
I close my eyes, tight. The cars silent for a few seconds so I
feel safe to open my eyes again. As soon as I open them, I have a
pair of eyes looking into mine. Tye's eyes, the best kind.
His smiles gone, and his face looks a bit serious.
"It's different, with us.
Isn't it?" He asked. I shake my head yes.
"I didn't mean for it to sound the
way it sounded. Actually, I didn't mean to say that at
all." I mutter silently. He sighs, hopefully a sigh of
relief. “But yeah, I haven’t talked to Kelley about
that lately. I might have to talk to her whenever she gets home
tonight.”
“Allie.” I look at Tye.
“Is it possible to care this much?”
Hmmm. “Babies are a big deal, and he
is your friend, so yes, probably.”
He speeds up the car, I can feel it going
at least 15 mph faster than before. Wherever we are, no ones too
close in front of us so it must not matter much.
“No. Not about the baby. You
leaving.”
I
fiddle in my seat before saying anything. “Please, not
right now. We’ll talk about this when the time comes, not
right now. We still have time.”
That answer doesn’t seem to satisfy
him because he pulls my car over and turns it off. I can hear
cars passing by much more quickly than they should be. I
can’t even tell where we are, nowhere near the condo
I’m assuming.
“Are we on a highway?” I ask
not looking directly at him. I know he’s not going to
answer me, but it’s worth a shot.
He takes off his seatbelt, and turns
towards me completely. I unbuckle myself as well. “You
can’t avoid this subject forever, you won’t be here
soon, you’ll be home, in York, and I’ll be here, in
OC, without you.”
“I’m not avoiding
anything.” I say a little louder than I should
have.
“Then why do you keep telling me to
shhh whenever I bring it up?” He says calmly.
