Promise Not to Break My Little Heart or Leave Me All Alone
Chapter 5
I was awakened by my vibrating phone. I groaned as I reached for it in the pocket of my jeans. I finally got a hold of it and pressed the answer button
“Hello?” my voice was cracking a bit
“Hey, sorry, did I wake you up?”
I was instantly awakened by the voice from the other line.
“Ryan?” I ask, really awake now
“Yeah. Uh, I just figured that you got enough sleep already so I called you but then you sound like you may need to sleep more” he chuckled
I glance at my night stand and saw that it was four in the afternoon already
“Oh shit, I slept too much” I mutter to him
“That’s ok; you can get more sleep if you want. Sorry for dist—“
“Oh no, that’s ok. Why’d you call? I need to stop oversleeping anyway.” I sat back on my bed
“Well, at first, I wanted to just talk to you on the phone but then just a few seconds ago, a new idea popped into my head” I could feel him smiling now
“Hmm, what can that be?” I ask while standing up from the bed
“I thought, why not meet up again and talk in person?”
I thought about it first. I didn’t have anyone to be with anyway, so why not agree?
“Sure. What time would you want to meet up? And where?” I inquired
“Would you be pissed if I said now?”
I laugh “Sure, now can do”
“Okay then. We can meet on the same spot from last night?” he asked again
“Okay, I’ll see you there in a few minutes!”
“Bye, see you!” he muttered and with that, we both hung up
Now, what to wear. Wait, why am I thinking of what to wear? Usually I just grab whatever I have and put it on. It’s just Ryan anyway. I grab a yellow top and shorts. As soon as I was ready, I went straight to the beach area. I was wearing sunglasses because the sun might hurt my eyes again. See, my eyes are a little weird. Sometimes the sun doesn’t affect me but then at times it does.
I look around, scanning the beach which was now filled with people.
“Hey” I hear a voice behind me which made me jump
I turn around and saw a smirking Ryan
“You startled me!” I exclaimed to him
“Sorry” he smiled.
His smile now was different. It was brighter and he looked like he had more life in him. I smiled back to him and sat on the sand
“So, what do you wanna do now?” I ask as I played with the sand
“Hmm, what about a sand castle?” he suggested while sitting beside me
“Okay, but do you even know how to make one?” I mocked
“Oh, are you questioning my sand castle building skills?” he said sarcastically
“I think I just did” I smiled
“Oh, it’s on Tasha” he said while standing up and scooping a handful of sand
“What did you just call me?” I asked
“Tasha. I’ll call you that from now on” he said plainly
“Wow, I didn’t know that I had that nickname” I said mockingly
“Well, I gave it to you so only I can call you by that name” he said proudly
“Whatever” I said and stood up as well
“Let’s do this” he smirked as he started building what looked like a sand castle
