Not ABOUT NOW

We moved through the crowd and through the back door we went. We landed outside were no body was, were the party sounded muffled. I thought we were staying there but he held my hand and took me through a flight of stairs to the roof.

 The breeze pressed against my skin in gentle strokes, my hair going all over the place in flabs. The street appeared more wider, head lights lighting everywhere in busy area style. Here on the roof, I felt peaceful. I stretched my hands on the concrete and shut my eyes to relish in the euphoria of the feeling.

 "I knew you'd like this, "Tony breathed beside me. I opened my eye my, eyes still landing on the beauty of the evening street 

 "All your mates, are they always like that? "I asked, feeling relaxed. He sighed, resting his elbows on the concrete as well

"when they are high. I keep them because they make my boring life more interesting". He said. I felt sorry for him. He was the only child and that wasn't a life a child would want.

 "So you're a senior class 3 student? "I asked yet again. He nodded to my question. 

"Are you? "He asked in return.

 "No, I'm a senior class 2 student.. I do sciences" "Smart aren't you?, I'm a commercial student but we're still writing our final exams.my last paper happens to be this week.

 I'm nervous to start college", He laughed. "Guess you want to be a doctor" He added, but I laughed softly to this statement.

"I can't stand the sight of blood, my dream is to be an electric / electrical engineer. Dad and mum told me that it's not an easy dream to fulfil in a day but perseverance is the key" I said.

 "Woah, what good parents you have there," He replied. "What's your full name?"

" Taliana Chris O'Neil" I replied with a slight shrug.

 "You're an O'Neil?" He asked, seeming shocked. I nodded, staring back onto the street. "Wow, we even live in the same estate" I smiled, the truth about that downing on me. We were silent like that for some times. Alert of the time, I made to tell him that I must head home but Tony slipped his right arm around my waist to my greatest astonishment. My heart exploded into unidentifiable pieces, my insides feeling strange mixed with nervousness .

"Ummm, umm. I - I, what are you doing Tony?" I asked, my fear evident in my shaking voice.

He closed the gap in-between us but trust me to draw myself away from him. He took my hand, drawing me back to him. It didn't feel right, not one bit. Placing my left hand on his waist, he wrapped my waist with his left as well. 

 "I believe this to be just a friendly dance, right?" I asked, nervously. Instead of an answer, he lifted my chin up with his index and thumb. Knowing what he was about to do, l tried pushing him off but the held on tightly, hushing me gently.

 "shhh"

 "Please I need to go Tony, I can't do this. I can'-"

 "I'm not hurting you, I never will." He spoke softly, kissing my forehead in the process. I still struggled but he didn't let me go, he hugged me to himself, his left hand still resting on my waist. Both of my hands. had grabbed the sides of his shirt, drawing him away but he refused to go. Tears pricked my eyes and I feared for my life 

 "I promise I won't hurt you. I can't even think of it Talia." As he Said that, I stopped struggling. He released both of us only from the hug but he didn't let go still. Again, he raised the tip of my chin where my eyes met his.

 "Right there Talia, look at me,?" He said. I peered into his orbs as it twinkled with the lights. Slowly, he inched down to my level. I was alert about what I was about to let to happen but it was like my body was not responding to me anymore. I felt this lips contact mine, sending sparks in my head. When I saw mum and dad really kiss, I felt nausea's instantly but never knew the incredible feeling behind it. His lips were soft against mine and he tasted of mild alcohol and grape. As his lips slid against mine, It my stomach tighten within me in knots. The moment ended when my phone rang in my purse. I released myself from the kiss but our bodies never leaving each other. My brother displayed on the screen and I knew I was in trouble. 

"He's gonna be so mad, " I said as I hung up. Tony tock out his own phone, giving it one or two clicks before, handing me the phone. 

"I don't want to stop seeing you, " He said. I smiled, taking his phone despite my own buzzing in my hand and typed in my digits Handing him back the phone, he typed something in before slipping it back to this pocket. 

"I need to be going, thanks for tonight. "I appreciated, leaving the kissing part out but blushing greatly.

 "You're welcome, " He said, placing his lips on me again. Kiss didn't take up to 30 seconds before I was released. I bade him bye and started racing back to the dance hall and out of the venue ground onto the street. 

As i walked back home, half way to my home, a car drove to the side of the road and my brother came out of it.
