Crazy Young Love by Kennedy Armstrong (motivational books for women txt) 📕

"What is it", I say hoping nothing is wrong. 

"Well, we've been friends since freshman year and uhm uhm, I wanted to ask if you would go out with me". I see him shaking a little bit and he's playing with the bottom of his shirt. I never knew he liked me that way. I don't like Easton that way, he's like a brother to me. Then I begin thinking about the kiss between me and Ryder.

"Easton, I would be flattered, but heres kinda someone else. Plus your kin-", I say but get interrupted.

"Yeah Star, I get it already", he says with a look of rejection on his face. He walks away and I follow him. Instead of him walking in the living room he walks out the front door. I just walk back in the living room and sit next to Jaime and Liz. 

"What. just. happened", Jaime says looking at me. Liz is looking at me too. 

""Easton just asked me out and I totally just rejected him. I mean, theres someone else". I'm hoping they won't ask me who that someone else is, because if I tell them it's Ryder then they will be confused. 

                                                      ***************

Liz and Jaime leave after a while. They did ask me who the other person was, but I told them that I couldn't tell them just yet. They begged and begged until they gave up.  When they left my mom came home a little after telling me to get ready for the dinner because everyone was on their way over. 

"So I bought you a dress", my mom says holding a bag in her hand. "I want you to wear it at the dinner". I grabbed the bag and went to my room and closed the door. When I took the dress out the bag, it was red with tiny white dots and a big black bow going through the middle. I liked it. After I put on the dress, I put my hair in a side bun and some hanging down for a bang. I then put a white flower clip a little above my bun. I put on eyeliner and mascara with some red lipstick. The last thing I did was put on some black flats. I've never dressed up this much before, I don't even know why I'm dressing up so much. When I walked out I saw that everyone was here reuniting and meeting each other. 

"Cuzz", I heard my cousin Frankie say behind me. Ugh, I hate him, he's a bully and I haven't seen him in like 3 years. I turn around and look at him.

"Whoa, what happened to you. If you weren't my cousin you'd be my girl". I gave him a disgusted face.

"Frankie, you do know thats sick right. Well sorry, you look different, you used to be fat and not so good looking", he says smiling at me. I just roll my eyes and walk away, I see my grandmother hugging Thomas.

"Grandma!", I say happily. 

"Hey buttercup", she says squeezing me into a hug. "It's been so long since I last saw my only grandchild, your crazy uncle still hasn't had children", she said making a face at me. I just laugh at her. I turn around and see Ryder standing in a corner looking at me. I walk towards where he is.

"Hey", I say nicely as I wave at the same time. He smirks at me and looks me up and down.

"You look good Kitten", he says still leaning against the wall looking sexy. I have definately gained a crush on him. 

I smile at him. "Thank you". I begin to say more until I'm hugged from behind on my legs. I look down to see my younger cousin Jake hugging my legs. He's only 4 years old and he's the most adorable thing in the world.

"Hey Jake", I say picking him up. "I've missed you", I say kissing his cheek.

" I wiss you twoo". He says it just like that, he hasn't leanred to say all his words correctly. 

"yeah, well why haven't you come to see me bud", I say tickling him a little. He laughs.

"I was wiff my gwirlfwiend", he says laughing. I look up at Ryder and raise my eyesbrows, Ryder begins laughing.

"Ooo a girlfriend huh?", I ask smiling at the adorable boy. 

"Yeah, but I'm hungwy and weady to eat", He says trying to get out of my arms. I let him down and he runs to the kitchen probably to where his mother will fix his plate. I look at Ryder and me and him bothe go and fix our plates as well.

                                              *************

After dinner me, Ryder, and Frankie go outside and sit on the beches in my back yard.

"So dude, are you my cousins boyfriend or something?", Frankie asks Ryder.

"Uh, no, were just friends", he says looking at me. I see Frankie nod his head.

"Well I have to admit, my cousin has gotten hot". Frankie puts his arm around me.

"Frankie, that is so sick", I say laughing at him. "Theres something wrong with your brain". Frankie is so weird I don't know what to say. I see Ryder making a weird face.

After a while everyone leaves, except for Ryder. He stays and helps me clean up while my mom and Thomas rest after the long drive and the dinner.

"You know, you don't have to help me clean up this mess. I can do it by myself", I say to Ryder as I put some dishes in the dishwasher.

"Nah, I can help. It's no biggie", he says smirking at me. Dang, that smirk is just way to sexy. We just clean without really talking. I'm standing in fron of the sink and next to the diskwasher, I turn around and put my elbows on the counter space behind me and at the same time Ryder reaches in front of me to put something in the dishwasher. His face is right in fron of mine, he looks at me then out of nowhere he pulls me into a kiss. I snake my arms around his neck as I grant him access into my mouth. He explores my mouth with his tongue, he pushes me over and puts me on top of the counter. As he kisses me roughly but passionately at the same time. I pull back and look at him, and he looks back at me.......
