Chapter Two - My first crush!

Kyson

I had just sat down with a scotch on the porch, enjoying the cool, fresh air. It is so peaceful here. My cell vibrates on the table next to me. I glance over and see a text with a number that isn’t stored in my contact, but the second I open it, I realise who it is. Arya! I read the text and smile because I am glad she has finally worked out who I am. I quickly save her number before texting back.

I thought my hint would have jogged your memory ;) x

I am not surprised she doesn’t remember me, though. I am a completely different person now. I was a skinny idiot back then with glasses and spots. I had no confidence and was awkward as hell. I never did understand why Arya wanted to kiss me. I had a crush on her from the first summer we met. We were friends, and I thought that was all we would ever have been until she kissed me. Arya was cute back then. Now though, she is incredibly sexy. She has grown into those hips and ass perfectly. Arya was blonde when we were kids, now she has purple hair, and it is shorter. She always had her hair long and in a braid.

I am sure if she knew the way I am now, she would want nothing to do with me. I am nothing like the sweet, shy boy from fourteen years ago. Cruel words, lies, and heartbreak would do that to a guy. I didn’t expect to run into Arya here. It has been some time since I was last here, but I needed time away from my hectic life and here seemed like the perfect place to do. I needed the break.

I feel terrible for not remembering you, but you look nothing like I remember. How did you recognise me so easily after all these years? x

Yes, I have changed a lot. Of course, I remember you because you haven’t changed much, plus you were my first ever crush, and no one forgets their first crush. I like your purple hair x

It wasn’t a lie, she was my first ever crush. It is a shame we lost touch and didn’t see each other after the summer we kissed. Unfortunately, my family never came back to the cabin, well, not as a family because that same year, my family fell apart since my father couldn’t keep it in his pants. I got distracted by my thoughts when Arya replied.

Was I? And thank you, I fancied a change, bored of my blonde lol x

Yes. I had a crush on you since the first summer we met. I liked your blonde hair, but the purple is sexier if you don’t mind me saying x

Aww, cute! I don’t mind. What are you doing? x

Not much, sitting on the porch with a drink. How is the writing going? X

I am not surprised she became an author. She has always had a great imagination. I wonder if I have heard any of her books.

Not too well. I think the pain is too much to concentrate which is not what I need. I am on a deadline x

Do you want some company? We can watch a movie and then after a night of relaxing and a good sleep you will feel better tomorrow and start writing x

I have no plans for tonight, anyway. I would like to spend some time with her. I anxiously wait for her to text back, and she does, only seconds later.

Yeah, sure, some company would be nice. Do you have any chocolate? I forgot chocolate and really crave some right now x

I do have some. I will be over soon x

I finished my drink, headed inside to grab the chocolate and also some wine in case she wanted some and made my way over. I knock and call out, so she knows it is me.

“I come with chocolate and wine,” I announce, holding both up, “Yay.” She says with bright eyes. She had the bed cleared of her things. I set the wine down and handed the chocolate to her.

I excuse myself to go get some glasses, taking a moment to find glasses and re-join her in the bedroom. Arya pats the spot next to her. I pour us both a glass of wine, handing one to her and sit next to her, “How is the knee?” I ask, “Agony, and my ribs too, I must have hit them when I fell, also.” She pouts. No wonder she hit the ground with some force. I am surprised she didn’t break something.

“Oh no, that isn’t so good. We will need to keep an eye on you over the next couple of days. I am here at your beck and call until you feel better enough to do things on your own.” I smile. I wouldn’t leave her to struggle. That would be cruel.

“You don’t have to. I am sure you have better things to do,” she says, shaking her head, “I know I don’t have to. I want to. There is a difference, gorgeous.” I reply with a wide grin and squeeze her unhurt knee.

“Thank you, that is sweet of you, and I appreciate it.” she kisses my cheek before taking a sip of her wine, “So what brings you here for the summer?” she asks.

I turn to look at her, and she is watching me, “I needed to get away from my hectic life.” I shrug. I didn’t want to go into detail.

“Maybe we can keep each other company this summer?” she suggests, “Yes, sounds perfect. And once you feel better, we can swim in the lake.” She used to love swimming in the lake.

“Yes! I can’t wait to be able to swim in the lake again! I love the water,” she gushes, “You were always in the water.” I smile. We spent a lot of time messing around in the lake.

We turned our attention to the TV, finding something to watch, and it didn’t take too long. Arya tucked into the chocolate straight away, offering me some, but I refused it. Arya rests her head on my shoulder, “Is it okay for me to do this?” she asks, “Yes, it is fine. I don’t mind.” I slip my arm around her shoulder.

I didn’t think we would ever be doing something like this when we were adults. I believed after our last summer together, we would never see each other again. Arya has crossed my mind a few times over the years. I was looking forward to time alone when I came here, but having Arya for company is even better.

I am still attracted to her, obviously, now we are adults, it is a different type of an attraction, more sexual, and I think a part of me hopes something will happen between us. I am not looking for anything serious or anything close to it, but I am up for having a little fun with her if it is something she is willing to do. I will keep the information to myself for the moment, at least until she feels better.
