Chapter 38

One year later

The feeling when you know you have less than six month to get out of high school; that feeling is like you own the world.

You want to make memories, try things you haven't done before, leave down records just so you let your stay be known.

I resumed school after a week. Ric and I made our relationship official the day we kissed.

Ric and I grew stronger than ever. Our relationship grew, we talked to each other about any and everything.

Our parents got to know of our relationship, most times he slept over.

There was nothing more I needed more, he was my friend, my best friend and my boyfriend.

When I first resumed school for the first time after my almost attempted rape, it was awkward and uncomfortable. People whispered sympathetically towards me.

Crystal and Ric were with me to make sure I felt alright. I also visited and consoled many.

Lydia didn't back down, when she knew of Ric and I relationship, she threatened me again like she normally did.

I was about to come out from the female restroom when I was blocked by Lydia.

I shake my head, what does she want again?

"I don't know what he sees in you. You are ugly, short, stupid, and a pretender!" She hurled all kinds of words towards me with annoyance.

I looked at her shaking my head at her stupidity, she was referring to herself and she didn't know at all.

"Are you done?" I ask folding my arms across my chest. One thing I hated was hurling words at people like I was jobless.

She scoffed. " I promise I'd ruin you Liliana!" She tells me before backing off.

And till now, that's the word she's been saying. 'i'd ruin you Liliana'.

She was a dog without teeth.

After the new year's break, school has resumed. Ever since Ric and I got back together, I tried my best to be the best girl friend. I went shopping almost every month, I wore more makeup.

Standing in front of my mirror, I had dyed my hair red and it was a surprise to Ric, he didn't know yet. I was dressed in a black leather plaid shirt skirt, a white loose shirt. I wore a black boot heels to match. My make up was heavy, I wanted to make a grand entrance.

I heard a car horn and I knew it was Ric definitely alerting me he was downstairs.

When I got outside, I saw Ric; dressed in camo pants and a grey tank top, he looked ravishing. How can a boy be this beautiful? I always wondered how.

He wasn't dressed much but he always looked sexy and hot in all outfits.

My man! Yes he is mine and there is no sharing.

When he finally saw me, he raised his brows in confusion.

"You...you what did you do to your hair?" He asked.

"You don't like it?" I ask worried he might not and if he doesn't, I'm dying it back to black.

"Getting rebellious, are we?" He chuckles.

"Crystal said I should go for a change, and she literally forced me or did not because I wanted to try new things also." I will explain.

"Ohh..." He opens the car for me to get in and I look at him questioningly.

When he came closer, I pulled him closer and claimed his lips. Now that's better.

He chuckles.

*********************************

"My parents won't just let me decide on the college I want to go to. My dad wants the University of Florida, my mom wants California State University and I want to study in yale!" She exclaims as she tells me what went down at her home.

"Mine isn't much, my both parents are in support of my choice, therefore university of New York, here I come!" I squeal with excitement.

"And as for Ricardo, does he know?" She asks me.

I sigh. I recall Ricardo and I last conversation when we talked about college. He knew I wanted to go to new york and when I asked him about his choice, he changed the topic.

I don't think I can stay away from him.

"He knows but I don't know his choice yet." I tell her, sighing.

"Aww.... don't worry, you guys will come to a conclusion soon.

*********************************

Right now I was under Ric on top of my bed as he devoured my neck. I love the feeling I get whenever we are in a hot make out session. We've never gone more than this.

He respects my decision and said he was going to wait. The first time after my almost attempted rape that we were in an hot make out session, I flinched as memories of Daniel touching me came running through.

He was shocked at first and I explained to him. During that time, he never went more than pecking me on my lips.

I didn't like that as I wanted real kisses from him, so I decided to overcome that and get past that memory. That was how we were able to kiss like every other couple.

I lift my hands up so that Ric could take my shirt off. Yes we've kissed with shirts off and that was the highest. He peppered kisses from the top of my breast to my stomach sending shivers down my spine.

I pulled him back up when he reached my belly button back to my lips. I wanted his hands to touch me. I always went insane whenever we were in situations like this but we were both sure to stop when we knew it was going far.

Then conversation between Crystal and I popped in and I stopped the kiss.

"We need to talk." I tell him.

"Can it wait?" He asked me to go back to kiss my neck as he earned a moan as a reward from me.

"We..." I moaned again. "Se...riously...need..." and that was it, he bit my soft spot and I moaned.

"Do you wanna talk or want me to continue?" He asked, smirking.

Geez...he sure knows how to get me.
