Chapter Forty-Six: Resisting You

“You’re gonna miss me by my hair, you’re gonna miss me everywhere, you’re gonna miss me when I am gone… When-"

I scratched my head as I listened carefully to the words that had just played before Gavin shut of the radio. It was kind of a coincidence this certain song played.

I quickly glanced at Gavin from the corner of my eye as he just stared at the endless road ahead of him. No talking or nothing, just focusing on the road.

“So where are we heading?” I asked, turning to face him.

“The beach. It is five minutes away from here and it’s a place that is really close to my heart.”

I nodded my head. I was glad that Gavin was now beginning to open up to me, maybe this relationship or whatever we were was going somewhere and maybe it was time for me to start opening up to him and tell him who I really am… You know before it is too late.

“Gavin…?” I whispered, softly.

He turned his head to look at me as the car approached a red light. “Yeah?”

“Why did you decide to open up to me?”

He looked at me with a hard expression, “Because I trust you.”

I swallowed the spit that was indulged in my throat. It wasn’t the answer I was expecting nor was it something I wanted to hear. “Oh.”

“Do you trust me?”

I nodded my head, “Of course.” But, I think we both knew I was lying judging by the skeptical look he was giving me.

“Then if you really trust me you would tell me what is going on in that head of yours. Because if you haven’t realized I am no mind reader.” He said, drawing his attention back onto the road and pressing on the gas.

“But, it’s something big and I honestly do not know how you are going to take it.”

“My secret was pretty big too. My mother committed suicide, I am sorry but that isn’t something you normally bring up in a conversation.”

I breathed in deeply. “But, it’s going to change things.”

He shrugged his shoulders, “It might. But it can also make us stronger.” He said, glancing at me briefly. “So Ali, will you please tell me what is bugging you?”

I looked down at my lap. It was now or never and I slightly starting to lean towards the never side of things.

The car approached a stop when I looked up to see the beach in front of us.

“I know I am kind of pressuring you to tell me. But, tell me when you are ready. You didn’t pressure me and I would sure like to do the same to you.” He spoke, completely changing his mind.

I smiled, as I leaned over and gave him a peck on the cheek. I knew it was hard for him to tell me something he really wanted to know. But, when I was ready to tell him I have been lying to him the whole time about who I was. I will… and hopefully the outcome wouldn’t be so bad.

“Ready to hit the beach?” He asked, changing the topic.

I nodded my head, opening the side door and stepping out.

My eyes scanned the beach as I watched a few people here and there. I knew it wouldn’t be so busy because it was a school day and the only people who would be here is the older generation.

Gavin came around to join me with a picnic basket in hand. “Let’s go, nerd.” He said, beginning to walk towards the open sand as I followed in close pursuit behind him.

Instead of going where the majority of people are Gavin walked towards the other side of the beach.

“Where are you going?” I called out to Gavin, who kept walking towards the other deserted side of the beach.

“That way,” He replied, not bothering to look back.

I narrowed my eyes as I quickly ran after him. “I know that. I mean where are you going? There is nothing over there.” I said, as we walked further down the west coast of the beach.

“Well if you would shut up and follow me. I am pretty sure you would be pretty excited to where we are going.” He said, leaving no room for an argument as I followed his instructions and continued going to wherever he seemed to be taking me.

As we began to get to the more secluded part of the beach alarm bells were beginning to ring in my head.

“Watch your step, there’s some rocks and such.” Gavin called out, as he led the way to this path that led up to a cliff.

“Are you sure we are allowed to be here?” I questioned, looking up at the cliff we were about to climb.

“Of course, my mother always brought me here when I was younger. Come on Ali, have a little faith in me. Won’t you?” He said, looking back at me holding out his hand for me to grasp.

“Fine. But, it kind of seems like this isn’t part of the beach but someone’s property.”

I didn’t see his face but I could imagine him rolling his eyes. “Yes Ali. It is someone’s property. The beaches.”

I shrugged as together we continued hand in hand up the path that led us to the top of the cliff. “So, do you know how your mom found this place?”

“My grandparents always brought her to this beach. She always use to tell me stories of how she went exploring and one day she stumbled across here.”

“Where are your grandparents?” I questioned, before I could realize what I had asked.

“I don’t know. After my mother’s funeral they kind of disappeared from Garrett’s and I’s life.”

I tilted my head as I looked up at him. “I am sorry.”

He shrugged, together we continued silently up the path.

When we finally reached the top I was a little out of breath and by a little… I mean a lot.

Gavin just turned to me with raised eyebrows. “For someone who looks fit,” He said, scanning me up and down. “You sure aren’t.” He said, letting go of my hand and walking over to the near edge of the cliff.

I walked towards him taking a few deep breaths in order to control my heavy breathing. I looked down at the beautiful view below us as I was now breathless for words.

My eyes scanned the water below us as I smiled to myself. This was so worth the journey up that hill.

“What do you think?” Gavin whispered into my ear, as I felt his head rest on top of mine.

“I think… next time I am going to wear sneakers. And ask you where we are going because my feet are killing me.” I said, lifting up my foot for dramatization.

“I am talking about the view, nimrod.” He said, nudging me slightly.

I let out a chuckle, “It’s beautiful. But, kind of cheesy. You know a bad boy taking a good girl to a cliff to make her swoon then you make your move on her. Kind of predictable don’t you think?”

“It would only be predictable if that were to happen.”

I looked up at him a smirk playing on the corners of my lips. “Well, judging by how predictable you are at times. You are either going to kiss me or throw me off the cliff and judging by how close to the edge we are... I am just going to move back in case you know… you kind of nudge me to my death.” I said, taking a huge step back.

Gavin rolled his eyes turning around to face me. “Oh darn it. My plan is ruined! Oh, what ever will I do?” He said, in a sarcastic tone slapping his hands to the sides of his cheeks giving me a shocked expression.

I let out a few giggles throwing my head back. “You’re an idiot.”

“But, I am a cute idiot. Don’t you think?” He said, wiggling his eyebrows.

I rolled my eyes, “Thanks for taking me here. I really do appreciate it. It is a beautiful view and thank you so much, for sharing this part of your mother with me.” I said, to Gavin looking at him sincerely.

“You’re welcome, because honestly I would do anything to win you over.”

“You don’t have to.” I whispered, staring at my feet. “Because you already did.” I said, softly looking up to meet his big dark brown eyes.

He opened his arms out to me, his dark blue polo shirt hugging his arms nicely as I ran into them. I stayed in his arms for a couple of minutes as we stared at the blue lake ahead of us.

“It really is something beautiful.”

“Just like somebody else I know.” Gavin replied.

“Stop being cheesy.”

“But, you love it.” He replied, as I could feel the sarcasm dripping of his voice.

“I really do,” The words tumbling out of my mouth.

I felt Gavin tense in my arms. As he slowly began to pull away, I looked up at his face a shocked expression written clear on it.

I looked up at him my cheeks going red. I didn’t mean to imply that I loved him. I didn’t even know if I did in the first place! It just came out and now I had no clue what was going on in that head of his.

He removed his arms from my waist as his hands made their way towards my face. Resting on my cheeks as he mushed them together to make my lips look like a fish.

“You don’t mind if I make the move I was dying to make ever since you sassed me in the hall on the first day I met you? Do you?”

I didn’t have time to respond because Gavin’s lips were already on mine.

I held my breath as I tried to keep up with how fast his lips were moving with mine. My eyes fluttered closed as he lips moved rapidly against my own, it was as if he was pouring all of his anger and feelings into this kiss.

I attempted to kiss back with the same passion, my hands finding their way to his hair as my fingers tangled themselves in his hair.

I felt him release a groan as he kept kissing me with just as much passion, driving electricity throughout my whole body. I breathed in deeply, the smell of Gavin and his cologne was captivating and alluring me towards him making me fall harder than I have ever fallen for someone before.

I tried to keep up with him, my hands moving down to his neck as I held on to him tightly, never wanting to ever let him go. His tongue licked the bottom of my lip and right then I knew due to the amount of romance books I read, he was asking for entrance.

Before I could grant him permission someone’s voice called out to us, making us pull away from each other faster than the speed of lightening.

“Freeze and put your hands where I could see them.”

I raised my hands so quickly I heard a crack in my shoulder. My eyes widened as I watched two officers stand before Gavin and I looking at us with unamused faces.

“W-what’s going on here?” Gavin stuttered, licking his red swollen lips, looking at the officers with wide eyes.

“What is going on here Sir, is that you two are in violation of a law. You are both on private property” The blonde officer said, to us in a strict tone.

“We saw you two walk up the hill, however, you two were too busy making googly eyes to notice that you are trespassing.” The brown headed officer, said.

“Trespassing?” I echoed.

The blonde headed officer looked at me as if I were stupid not hearing what he said in the first place. “Yes, trespassing as in you both are coming with me because you are under arrest.”

“Fucking piece of shit.” Was the last thing I heard before darkness surrounded me.

Hello Lovelies,

Long time no talk, huh? WELL I REALLY HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS CHAPTER… I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS FOR SUCH A LONG TIME! I am even more excited for the next chapter… *cue evil laughter… I know there is not an excuse to why I did not update, so I will spare you the details.

Also I am pretty sure all of you have heard of what has happened the last week, with everything so let us do a short prayer and keep in mind all the lives lost especially in this very tragic week. With the Pershwar Massacre in Pakistan, Sydney Hostage in the café, the kidnapping of the women and children in Nigeria, as well as the hacking with Sony and North Korea that cancelled the movie The Interview. And also the two year anniversary of the Newtown Shooting in Connecticut which killed innocent children… like in Pakistan. It seems to be so much tragic and bad in the world you rarely see good. But where there is hope, there is life.
