Love for the Librarian

The rest of the evening we spent just being around each other, laughing at our jokes. Talking about what we are going to do for the rest of the week. It seems no one wants to talk about the party on Saturday, I don’t know if it is an oversight or if we don’t want Dylan to know about it. I don’t bring it up because it seems that the others don’t want to tell him. I don’t think it would make a difference to Dylan. He will probably just come with. Maybe they haven’t forgiven him yet. I will make a note to ask them about it later.

When we head out for the night. Dylan walks me to my car. When we reach the car, he pulls my phone out of my pocket. “Unlock it.” He hands it to me. I unlock it and pass it back. He types out something for a moment and then I hear his phone ding. “Now, I have your number. I will be calling you. Not like that other guy.” He gives me a cocky smile.

I roll my eyes at him. “Get over it. I was being polite. It’s not like I was really going to go out with him.”

“That is what you said about me too.” He growls.

“You are far more persuasive. Besides, I was a little heartbroken, I was not planning on dating anyone for the rest of my time here.”

He has me pinned to my car door again. “I was heartbroken too. I thought you were never going to talk to me again. I was never going to kiss you again.”

“What are you attracted to, I mean I am pretty plain? I am just not getting it.”

“You mean besides the fact that you are super smart. You can ask any guy who has seen you, that you have a body that rocks, although you hide it pretty well. Then you are funny, unique, and kind. What more do you want?” He pulls my eyes to him. “Then there are your kisses that send me reeling. I want so much more of you. I am begging for it. There is nothing plain about you, Riley, not a damn thing.” He starts giving me light kisses along my face. “I want you so bad it is killing me. I think the fact that no one has ever had you before is intoxicating. I want to be the first.”

My breath catches. Can he really be saying this to me right now? When my knees are weak and all I can think about is his body on mine. I am so tempted to take him in the back seat of my car right now, but then there is the thought: do I really want to lose my virginity in the back of my car? No, I do not. “That will have to be something for another night.”

“Oh, I have no problem waiting for the right night. I am just letting you know, I think it is hot and I will be the first. I am not letting you go. I don’t care if it is after you get back from California. I am here with you.” He presses his body to mine and I seriously doubt that he is thinking of waiting four years. Of course there are breaks and stuff, but I doubt that he is planning on waiting for too long.

“I better get home before my mom starts to worry.” My hands are resting on his hips, a part I do not want to let go.

He leaned in closer. “I need to kiss you. I won’t be able to sleep if I don’t. I need to be filled with the feel of your lips.” His lips are fluttering along my skin. A soft moan escaped my mouth. Then his lips find mine. The yearning is killing me. He wants just as much as I do. I can feel his length grinding into my middle, he wants more now.

He pulls back, “You better leave, I won’t be able to hold back much longer.” He reaches down and pulls the door open from behind me. I got in the seat. He gives me a quick kiss and then he is walking off. I can tell he is not pleased that the night ended like this.

When I get home my mom is waiting for me. “Hey, mom I’m home.” I greet her when I enter. She is in the living room watching a movie. I can tell she is in a better mood than the last time I saw her.

“Hey hun, how was your time with Katelyn? Did you guys have a good weekend?” She puts down some chips that she was snacking on.

“Yeah it was a lot of fun. She wants to do it again this weekend. I figured it is kind of the last weekend that we are in school. You don’t mind, do you?” I sat down next to her. I like her being home when I come home.

“Yeah, go ahead. I have been getting used to being home. Polly comes and spends time with me. It kind of feels good just to be me for a minute. I was always so worried about your father that I wasn’t being myself. Hell, do you know the last time that I watched a movie that I wanted to watch? Well it has been a while let me tell you. I am going to start working at the library with Polly too. It is after all part of my family too. Polly and I have some plans for the library. I think you will like it.”

“That sounds great mom. When I leave I will still come home for holidays and stuff. I don’t want to be out of your life or nothing like that. I will visit and check out the new things you guys are doing with the library.” I nudged her. “Besides, you need to get out there. Dad is missing out, you are still a catch mom.”

“Yeah, sometimes I don’t feel like it. But thanks for saying it dear. Anyway you better head to bed, you still have finals to complete.” She gives me a nudge back. “Oh, before you go, you need to tell me about that boy. The one from last week, did you talk to him?”

“Yeah, it was like you said. He has been telling the girl off all day, she is not getting the hint. She keeps poking around. He told her straight out today that he wanted me not her, she told him that he would come crawling back. It was a bit of a drama. I think it will work out though. My friends told him that if he made a mistake like that again that he would regret it.”

“Good, sounds like you got it all under control. He seems like he really likes you. What are you guys planning to do when you leave?” I knew this question was coming. Hell it should. Four years is a long time.

“He says he wants to do a long distance thing. I am not sure it will work, but he has convinced me to give it a try. Oh, I found out our other friend Kevin is going to the same school as us, so that will be fun.”

“How does this boy feel about Kevin being so close?”

“Not so happy. I think he thinks that Kevin wants to go out with me. I think Kevin wants to go out with Katelyn. They went out before and it didn’t end well, but I still think he wants her back.”

“That will make things strained, won’t it?”

“Those are things that we are going to need to work on. I mean I know that there are plenty of girls and the local university that he is going to. It is part of being long distance. That is why I am not so sure it is going to work out, but he insists it will.” At this point I have leaned my head back and I’m just staring at the ceiling.

“Well, if it doesn’t then you can still have a life, and at least you gave it a shot. If

you don’t try you will never know if it will.”

“Thanks mom. You’re right, it is worth a try.” I get up from the couch, “I better head to bed now. I have finals tomorrow. Only two but still.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Alright hun. I will have breakfast in the morning.” She picked up the chips and went back to her movie.
