The Nice Girl [3]

I leaned against the railing with Whitney and watched the sunset. She stared and smiled then looked down at the river below. I looked at her and stood closer. She closed her eyes and smiled.

"Thank you." She started.

"For?" I asked.

"You know what for. You helped me and Mom see common ground again." Whitney said.

"I didn't do anything but make suggestions. Your gratitude is misplaced." I said then closed my eyes.

"No need to be all cool and shit." Whitney laughed softly and gently pushed me.

I chuckled and opened my eyes. "I'm glad you could see common ground again. Hopefully things stay like this."

There was some silence. The only sounds that was heard was the ambience of the river and the wind.

"Tell me something." Whitney started again.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Do you believe in true love? Be honest." Whitney said.

"True Love huh..? For me that doesn't exist." I chuckled. "But...I do believe true love exists for someone else out there. I'm just not gonna lie and say yes I personally believe in it."

Whitney smiled and lowered her head then raised her head and inhaled. "I'm always hoping to find my true love, but that's all just a dream in hopes of thinking everyone in this world is different...well you're different although you remind me a lot of Shiro. He's found his true love, and I'm happy for him and all."

"But." I said.

"But." She said in a mockingly way and giggled softly then looked out into the distance. "I'm just jealous. He meant a lot to me and now seeing that I barely see him anymore. It's just hard to not think he's forgotten about us."

"I can say for certain he hasn't forgotten about you all in the slightest. He's a God now, and a father. It's the principal of finding him at the right place at the right time." I looked at Whitney and noticed her looking at the river.

I noticed she had a few tears rolling down her cheek. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder to comfort her. She smiled and leaned against me.

"Thank you...for comforting me." Whitney smiled and wiped her eyes.

"Ah...don't mention it. Just being a good friend as all." I smiled then took my arm off her.

The sun finished setting and the moon rise up. We got off the rail and made our way back to the neighborhood. We stopped at a stop sign and she waved goodbye then we parted ways for the night.

I entered my house and closed the door. I went to my room and laid on my bed. I looked at the ceiling then my phone buzzed. I looked at it and smiled.

Whitney: I hope we can hang out again soon. I really enjoyed our time together ( ´∀｀)

I laid on my side and decided to text her back.

Me: We can hang out tomorrow if you'd like.

Whitney: Yes! I'd love to! (｡>﹏<｡)

Me: it's a date then, I'll meet you at the park.

Whitney: It's a date~ Goodnight~ (*´∀｀*)

Me: Sweet dreams.

I smiled then put my phone on the charger and set it on my nightstand. I turned around then noticed Kyu-Pit appearing in front of me on my bed. She smiled at me and closed her eyes.

"I feel so powerful when I'm around you. You've made a lot of women happy as of the last month we've been together...I really am happy you continued to play, but I want you to not think of this as a game anymore." Kyu-Pit said.

"What do I do then? This is the Game of Lust.." I said.

Kyu-Pit opened her eyes and shuffled a bit, getting under the covers and getting comfortable. "Think of this as...I don't know...a chance to have...many girlfriends and make them as happy as they were seven years ago. After all they seek to you for happiness now and love...and affection...and more."

I smiled at her and closed her eyes. "Okay Kyu-Pit...good night."

"'Night.." She said then I turned off the lamp.

.....

"You were able to skip the Acquaintance Status with Whitney. I'm surprised that you did! I actually like your chemistry with her. Prince Charming and the Princess." Kyu-Pit smiled.

"Stop it." I smiled and blushed a little then got a text from Whitney.

Whitney: I'm on my way! Are you at the park?

Me: Yeah, I'm here.

Whitney looked at her phone and blushed like crazy. She seemed so happy to be on another date. She looked up from her phone and smiled when she saw me. She hurried to me and I stood up. She hugged me and I hugged her back. She made a happy noise and we let each other go.

"Ready?" I asked.

"Yeah." Whitney nodded. "What are we doing today?"

"Skate around Wellspring with a longboard?" I smiled.

"Oh! I actually know how to skate, Gloria taught me how to skate seven years ago and ever since I've loved it. Sadly I never found the time to since I'm a babysitter." Whitney smiled.

"Well we have all day to do so." I chuckled and took her to the longboard shop.

I bought us both a longboard and she smiled at me. I put my hood on and placed my longboard on the ground then lightly pushed it forward. I hurried to it then placed my foot on the board and pushed myself forward. Whitney did the same and skated behind me. I looked back at Whitney and placed my hands in my pockets. I smiled and looked ahead. Whitney looked at me then curving from side to side.

Whitney took out her phone and recorded me. She smiled, and used her left foot to make herself skate faster so she wasn't left behind. I looked back and noticed she was recording then smiled and pointed at my longboard. She lowered the camera and I began longboard dancing and she looked in awe. I began to nose manual and spun the longboard around as well as myself then began longboarding backwards. I spun the board around again, moving forward once more.

"You're really good...how did you learn to do that and what is that called?" Whitney asked.

"It's longboard dancing. It's one of my favorite things to do." I said then stepped on the nose and made the board spin then ran forward and stepped on the nose again, causing it to raise off the ground then I grabbed the edge of the board then spun it around once more. It landed on the ground and I tried to jumped on it then fell to the ground.

"Oh! Leon are you okay?" Whitney asked then stopped.

I laughed a bit then sat up. "Yeah I'm alright."

She smiled and helped me up. We began to longboard beside each other. I noticed Whitney curving from side to side. She held her arms out then tried her hand at longboard dancing. She slightly twirled around on the board then used her foot to move a little faster. She began to nose manual then spun the board around and landed. She nearly fell but I helped her maintain balance.

We stopped to have lunch and sat on a curb and ate together. I looked at Whitney and wiped her mouth with a napkin. She giggled and looked at me. I smiled and playfully bumped my shoulder against her. She smiled and did the same.

"How long have you been longboarding?" Whitney asked.

"Well I've been longboarding for as long as I've been skateboarding, so ever since I was 16 maybe." I smiled.

"Wow and how old are you now?" Whitney asked.

"Turning 22 this month." I said.

"Wow nearly been going at it for as long as me." Whitney smiled.

I got our trash and went to go throw it away then walked back to Whitney and smiled. "Ready to continue?"

"Yeah." Whitney nodded then stood up.

We went back to the open road and skated more down the road. We were longboarding for another hour before we turned back and headed to the park.

"I had a wonderful time with you..." Whitney said and smiled.

I looked at her and smiled then gently pushed her. "I did too."

Whitney blushed a little then looked at me, a bit shyly. I brushed her hair behind her ear. She closed her eyes and scooted a bit closer to me. She blushed even more and held my other hand. She leaned closer and I instinctively did also. Our foreheads touched and our hearts were racing. I held her cheek and kissed her lips gently. Whitney closed her eyes and kissed back. I pulled back and she bit her bottom lip. She went back for another kiss and kissed deeper. I was a bit surprised then she pulled back.

"I haven't been this happy in years.." Whitney said. "I wish we could spend the night together, but...I have to watch Adriana and help her study and whatnot tomorrow...and the next day...and the next day...until I get free time again."

"It's fine Whitney." I smiled and wiped her tears. "We can always find time for each other. I promise."

Whitney nodded and hugged me. I hugged her back and ran my fingers through her hair. "You better keep your promise..."

"I will." I said then we let go of each other.

We stood up and I walked her home. When she walked in her house, I walked back home. On my way back home, I sensed someone was following me. I looked back and didn't see anyone. I turned around and noticed many black butterflies flying passed me. I got the chills when I felt evil aura then turned around. I fell back at the sight of Medusa.

"I f o u n d y o u...S e n p a i.." Medusa grinned and her unnaturally blue eyes shined.

"Medusa.." I said under my breath and was stuck looking at her eyes.
