We Make History (Adrianna)

[Venn Hensley]

Adrianna practically dragged him out, but he was quite turned on by the whole thing. It was nice for them not to be inside at the moment. He wanted to sit by the fountain in the courtyard, he loved the fountain; but he also did hate when some of the water would splash on his back. He took direction and dragged her by the benches where the fountain was. He took a seat, and he looked away, trying avoid eye contact. He didn't know if she understood what he was going to ask, but she was smart enough. He was going to be scared of her answer, hopefully she just forgot about it.

His thoughts reminisced of the kiss they just shared, and he blushed towards himself. Did I just kiss her ..? No, this is just a nightmare. She's out of my league. He was being insecure towards himself, he couldn't imagine them together. He always did daydream about it, but he didn't think it would actually happen.

Besides, Adrianna and Lani have only been broken up for about two weeks now. What if they still had feelings for each other?

Adrian was glad to be out of the auditorium. The relief from her migraine was almost instant and she took a deep breath, feeling the cool air brush against her cheeks. The pain in the back of her neck subsided and now all she had to do was figure out exactly what she wanted now. She'd understood just fine what he'd been about to ask, but with Lani so close, she hadn't been able to form an answer. The fear of him leaving her behind was still there, and she didn't want to push him to do that.

Now that they were alone, she was calmer, better collected and it made things easier to put together. First thing was that her and Lani were over, yes it had only been a few weeks, but they'd both decided it was best. Sure, there was bound to be unresolved feelings, jealousy, envy, but they were done. Second thing was that she did like Venn. She had for years now, but had been too afraid, and too distracted to act on it. Finally she had the chance to be with him and she had been so close to saying no. But that wasn't what she wanted.

Adrianna didn't sit down by him, not yet. She paced the ground in front of him, practically skipping as she went over the words in her mind. It was all just a matter of saying them now. Saying the words that could either leave her the happiest girl in the world, or come back and bite her in the ass. With that thought in mind, she folded her hands behind her back and took a deep breath before speaking. "Alright, about what you were going to ask..."

Taking a few steps, still continuing her pace back and forth, she continued, "I told you before that I needed time. Time to figure everything out because at that point I was still with Lani. Well I'm not anymore and I guess my time's up." Adri chewed on her lower lip and her eyebrows pulled together, "So here it goes. Lani and I are over, there's no chance of us getting back together, but at the same time you have to know that two weeks isn't long enough to be completely over the relationship. I mean we were together for months. That being said, unresolved feelings will fade, but until then you'll have to bear with me." She stopped pacing and knelt down in front of him, "I really want to give this whole thing a try. You and me because frankly, I've had a crush on you for years, I've just been too afraid to say anything. I still am afraid because I don't want this to hurt our friendship. But I think we can do it, don't you?" She asked hopefully, looking up at him.

"Of course I do, Adrian. More than anything, we can do it. Why didn't you tell me ..? It's funny how we've both liked each other for years." He chuckled, not knowing why she wasn't able to tell him. She's been dating other boys, he wasn't sure why she wouldn't be able to tell him? Was it because they were too close of friends? Well that'll make sense. He chuckled and blushed as she knelt down towards him, he sat down straight, and looked her in the eyes, he loved when the moonlight was glistening against he skin tone. He stared into her eyes as her skin glowed. He wasn't able to say anymore. He fell in love with his best friend, and he was okay with it. Love was uncontrollable, and he just had to deal with it.

He leaned in closer, and pulled her closer towards him, he smiled a little bit before connecting their lips. He held the kiss for more than ten seconds before pulling back. When he pulled back, a grin was swept across his face, and he bit his lip. He loved the taste of hers, and he couldn't stop blushing.

"..You're thinking too much, Adri, stop. We just have to let it be, okay?" He smiled, speaking as soft as he could; hopefully Odion and Lani were well occupied, hopefully they weren't spying.

Adrianna twirled her hair around her finger as she listened to him and a smile tilted up the corner of her mouth. She sighed, "I didn't tell you because, well, I've had this happen before. I fell for one of my best friends and now we don't talk anymore." Adri bit down on her lip and rubbed her arms out of nervous habit, "I didn't want that to happen with us, so I mean I distracted myself with other guys. Mostly jerks, but I dunno I just couldn't let myself feel that way about you."

She looked into his eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck before pressing her lips to his. It was much more of a kiss than what they'd had back at the dance. It made goosebumps rise on her arms and butterflies flit around her stomach. Her heart was beating frantically and heat rose to her cheeks. To think she had been missing out on this for years and years. It's about time they had their first kiss!

Adri sat beside him as they broke apart and she curled up in his side. It was funny how small he made her feel, but she liked it. She'd always fit so perfectly with him, but always ignored it because it just didn't seem right. His words had her blushing and the previous thoughts slipped away. "I can't help it Venny, I've pictured this so many times and every time I've woken up from the dream. I'm scared that you're going to vanish just like everyone else if something goes wrong," She whispered, burying her face against his shoulder.

He loved the kiss. Her kiss was something along the lines of magical, this night was magical. He didn't want it to end, this would be the night he'd be telling his kids about. How he and their mother got together - finally after all those years of them being friends, he couldn't bear to call her his friend anymore. He knew that this kiss has made them boyfriend and girlfriend, but he didn't want to push into the labels as much. That would bring pressure, and it would somehow ruin their night.

"I'm not gonna' vanish, babe .. I'm always gonna be here. I'm never gonna' leave. I never left then .. Why would I leave now?"

His concerned mood caused him to hold her tighter. He hated when she thought like this.

Adrianna always thought of the worst outcome. It kept her from getting her hopes up and letting them get crushed. She couldn't deal with that anymore. She didn't want to be negative about things, but her naivety was slipping away and she was starting to realize that the world wasn't as good as she'd once hoped. Being with Lani had shown her that there were people out there that didn't care about others. That innocence that she'd once possessed was gone and it wouldn't be coming back.

She looked up at him as he spoke. It was true, he hadn't left her behind yet, after everything that she'd dragged him through. But there was always a possibility of something going wrong. What if now that they were together, he found that she wasn't as perfect as he thought? What if he couldn't love her like he wanted to? That always seemed to be the problem. She couldn't find a guy to love her the way he was supposed to.

Adri's arms tightened around him and she sighed quietly, "I just don't want to lose you like I've lost everyone else. I wouldn't survive it again..." Her words were barely a whisper, a soft murmur of what she'd always felt. At first, she'd been worried that once her and Lani broke up that she wouldn't be able to live like she had before, but he was still there. He didn't hate her...at least not yet. She wasn't quite sure how he'd feel after he found out about her and Venn. The thought had her frowning deeper.

Life just couldn't give her a break.

[Venn Hensley]

Venn scoffed a bit, and started to play with her hands. His skin was almost naturally cold because of his metallic-like side effects. The night was cold, too, and holding Adrianna close was the best way to warmth. It was safe to say that life for them was pretty tough at the moment, they didn't have third world problems - no. But they did hve some pretty intense problems, Venn's love for Adrianna was abnormal. He was so protective over her, and whenever things involved her, he got real insecure. He was unsure why, but he felt as if she were a higher being. Why? He didn't know. He finally got his prize, and it felt unreal. The brute had to pinch himself to remind himself that this was a real thing.

Adrianna was now his main muse, her and his family were his reason for doing good - his reason for living, actually. Venn's temper wall was considered knocked down once he was near Adrianna. "I feel the same way .. I could never lose you. You've had my heart ever since we met."

He looked down, kind of disappointed. Did anyone else ever feel this way over someone? If so, they needed to contact Venn over it. Maybe he needed to talk to Dr. Neville over this thing. Of course it would be considered young love, but they weren't exactly young. Adrianna and Venn were near to a year apart, and she was eighteen, and he was seventeen. They were about old enough to know what love was.

[Adrianna Carstyn]

Adrianna rested against him, her fingers playing with his as she watched their entwined hands. She leaned into him and just let herself feel him. The way his hands locked with hers, the way their bodies molded together, they might as well have been one person because they fit so perfectly together. It had taken her years to see it. Years to figure out that this was different than her situation with Craven. Crave had been destined to be with Gia, they were just perfect for each other. Lani was meant to be with someone more like him, his purpose had been helping Adrian and showing her that despite what happened between them, they were still in each other’s lives. After all that time, she was beginning to see that maybe Venn was her match.

She didn’t know for a fact the extent of which she felt for him. She didn’t know if it was the true love that soul mates held for each other, but she was going to witness it for herself. All that needed to happen for this to work out was for the two of them to be honest with each other and for them to stay close no matter how much they fought. Adri had never had a real fight with Venn and she wasn’t looking forward to their first fight that was inevitable. Fighting with Venn would be like fighting with her mother. Unbearable and pointless.

Looking up at him, she looped her arm around his neck and ran her fingers gently through his hair. “I just don’t know how I didn’t see it before. I guess I pushed back all of my feelings for you without really realizing it and it made me even more oblivious to your feelings,” She pressed her cheek against the side of his neck and nuzzled against him. “Venny, will you tell me what it is that you liked so much about me?” She asked quietly against his skin.
