Mr. and Ms. I'll see you later

Echo

I ran until I couldn't run anymore. My legs carrying me far away from everyone until I come across a really beautiful looking waterfall.

I stopped there and drank from the fall, after that I laid down by the river bank, and thought back to what Chase said.

What made people think Winter is a stuck up bitch? What made people think they had the right to think, never mind say, those types of things.

My mate is nothing like that.

I couldn't help but to think about when I first saw her. Walking into class out of breath and remember why she said she was late to begin with.

Her jeep broke down.

That's hot. She drives a jeep.

What would be even hotter is if it's not pink.

Fuck! Her jeep broke down. She doesn't have a ride home.

...On the other hand it could be a chance to be alone with her.

Getting up from my spot on the ground I sprint back to school and go to my car where I just so happened to have a change of clothes.

Smart right?

I know, I try.

Changing into basketball shorts and a tank top I walk back into the school like nothing happened and AGAIN get stared at by students.

Seriously? I mean I know I'm hot and all but damn. I would like to go about my day without getting molested with eyes.

That too much to ask?

I was to busy talking to myself to pay attention to where I was going but quickly pulled myself back to the surface in time to catch the body that slammed into me and was on the verge of falling on the floor.

Feelings electric sparks I look down into the eyes of my adorable and sexy mate. Pulling her forward so she rests on her feet rather than leaning back I pull her closer to me, smelling her delectable scent as she comes closer.

I see something in her eyes before she pulls away, taking a step back from me.

" Uh.. thanks Echo."

"No problem."

She nods her head and goes to skirt around me but I grab her hand holding her in place as her head snaps to meet my gaze.

" Sorry. It's just I over heard you this morning. You know, how your jeep broke down, and I was wondering if you'll let me take you home."

Her face scrunches up, making her natural adorableness even more adorable and her head tilts to the side pondering my request, or possibly the actions behind it.

"Why? I just met you today. I literally know nothing about you besides your name."

"Because it's a nice thing to do and I want to. I know nothing about you too and that's not stopping me from wanting to help you. Plus, what better way to get to know me than to spend some time with me."

She bites her bottom lip, hopefully thinking about it before returning her gaze back to mine.

I really wanna bite that lip too.

" Alright. I guess you can take me home, but just home. No detours."

I grin down at her, barely containing my fist pump.

"No detours. Wait for me out front."

She nods her head, offers a small smile, and walks off.

Once she rounded the corner the fist pump I was containing came out and my steps had an extra pep in them.

~ Winter~

I was walking down the hallway either being ignored by all students or 'silently' talked about. I know they do it so what's the point in 'trying' to be silent?

I was lost in thought, mostly thinking about that fine piece of sex god in my math class, and can't help but to feel a wave of sadness at the thought of him becoming like the others when he finds out who I am.

Sighing softly I pick up my pace a bit when all of a sudden I hit a wall and start to fall.

On the way down I started to think; 'why God why? Do you hate me that much?'

Which is ironic because I don't believe in any form or religion.

If you ask me it's better that way. That way your mind remains open to different ideas and thoughts.

Any who, back to the point.

So I was falling.

Or was in the process of falling when a steely arm wraps around my waist, holding me up, and my eyes snap open to meet my saviors gaze.

Oh sparks. Yum, it feels delicious against my skin.

Wait? What am I doing?

Bad Winter bad!

So I looked into his eyes and saw the brown pools that are known as Echo's eyes.

Damn he's sexy.

And that tattoo.

If I was to ever kidnap him the only sight he would see would be the inside of my bed room... and the lack of clothes would be mandatory.

Oi! Girl stop it! He's looking!

"Uh.. thanks Echo."

I was to busy molesting him in my mind to hear his response but I decided to walk away before bad choices could be made.

But he grabs me and now he's taking me home.

Jesus. What happened to my life, is this some type of joke. Is a camera crew gonna pop outta nowhere and be like "gotcha bitch!"

I hope not.

I leave him and walk around the corner to my next class, the last class of the day.

When the bell rings for the end of the school day I pack up my stuff slowly, trying to ready myself for whatever sick thing will happen when I walk out.

Maybe it'll be a bet and I'll be a laughing stock.

What if he makes a scene about my stupidity in front of everyone and I become a laughing stock.

Or maybe a camera crew will be there  and I'll be a laughing stock.

My life's sad. I know.

I walk out of the building and see him leaning on the wall with his keys in his hand and I look around.

I walk up to him expecting the worst but all that flies out the window when he flashes that 'fuck me' grin.

Oh I will sexy, don't you worry about it.

*sigh* he's not healthy for me.

" Hey"

" Hey... Uh thank you again. For doing this, you didn't have to."

" Nonsense."

He grabs my hand and walks me to the sexy looking car that just so happened to be in my parking spot and opens the door for me.

" I guess it's a good thing my jeep broke."

He gives me a confused look.

"Why?"

" ... you're kinda in my parking spot..."

His eyes soften into an apologetic look before he gives my hand a squeeze while driving down the road.

"Sorry bout that. I'll park somewhere else tomorrow."

" It's fine Echo."

He doesn't say anything else but I know it's far from over.

The rest of the ride was in comfortable silence, except when I gave him directions, and when he pulled up in front of my house he looks at it with wide eyes.

Sitting in my driveway he cuts the engine and we sat in silence until I cleared my throat.

" So I guess this is bye and thank you..."

I got out of the car and lean down to look at him before remember that we agreed on getting to know one another.

"Hey, uh, Echo?  You wanna come in for a bit?"

He looks at my face in silence and I can feel a blush rising to my cheeks from his intense gaze.

" Yeah. I'll come in."

He gets out and I meet him at the top of his car and we walk up the walkway together as he locks his car.

He waits at the door while I take my key out and unlock it.

Opening the door we're greeted with my dogs. All thirty of them.

Shit! I forgot about them.

Oh, well, I hope he's not allergic.
