Dream River

*Kagome*

Saturday evenings bore me. Mom works around this time. I have nothing to do. I looked at my phone. Still don’t know anyone besides Ryo-kun here. Don’t feel like doing much tonight. I lied on my bed and sighed. Maybe I could call…

I shook my head. No! That makes me look desperate! I sighed again. It seems so easy. Ryo’s just down the street too? I shut my eyes. My thumb is aching to press call.

Before I knew it, the other line began to ring. My attention turned to the sound. I felt the color drain from my face. What did I just do?, I thought. My eyes moved in panic.

“Hello?” I heard Ryo-kun ask on the other line. I quickly sat up.

“Ryo-kun!” I said. “H-Hi!”

“Kagome-chan?” he asked. “Are you okay? Is something wrong?”

“No!” I yelped. “No, I mean…” I bit my lower lip. What did I mean? Why did I even call? There seemed to be such an urge, but now that kind of burned out.

“Uh…” I said. I dug around in my head for something to say.

“Are you lonely right now?” Ryo-kun asked. I froze at his question.

“Uh, well…” I said.

“Do you want me to come over?” Ryo-kun asked. My cheeks fired red.

“Really?” I asked. “S-S-Sure!”

“I’ll be right over,” he said. I lowered my phone when he hung up. I couldn’t move an inch. Oh crap! Ryo-kun is coming over? What do I do? What do I do? Then, the door bell rang. My heart jumped up to my throat.

He’s here!, I thought. I shut my eyes and breathed.

I can do this, I thought. It’s just Ryo-kun after all. Just Ryo-kun! I drew open my eyes. Right! I rose to my feet and walked to the front door.

Ryo-kun gave me a little smile as he waved. “Hey there,” he said.

I looked away as I blushed. “Hi…” We stayed silent for what felt like the longest time. Ryo-kun eyed me.

“Well,” he said. “Aren’t you going to invite me in?” My cheeks burned red as my eyes grew big.

“Uh… yes, yes!” I yelped. “Right, come in.” He didn’t do it right away. Instead, Ryo-kun took me by the waist and kissed me on the lips. I felt my heart beat faster than a horse. Whoa! What do I do now? Ryo-kun gently pulled away. He leaned in close to my ear.

“Show me your bedroom,” he whispered. I whipped my head towards him.

“What?” I asked. “But… but…” His hand rested against my breast while he put a finger to my lips.

“It’s okay,” he whispered. “We’ll good as far as you want tonight. But, that’s if you want to.” I looked at him with wide eyes.

“If I want…” I murmured. I nodded as him without a thought. “Yes! Yes, I want to!” He gave me a naughty smile and licked my cheek.

“Thanks, baby,” he whispered. Without a single word, I took him by hand and took him back to my room.
