As soon as we left the car people immediately started to stare.
River placed his hand on my lower back and guided me to the front of the school.
"It's okay Taliah. Just breathe I'm right here." River whispers in my ear.
Even with heels on he still had to bend down to reach my ear.
I nodded and we continued to walk to our class.
The whole day I didn't see any of my brothers.
I didn't get any texts or calls. How weird.
River said he wanted to take me somewhere so after school we were back to his house to change into more comfortable clothes.
Unfortunately, my feet were killing me. I'm not wearing heels for a long time.
Once we were in the car I kicked my shoes off and started to rub my achy feet.
"The heels?" River questioned.
"Yep, they make my feet hurt so bad." I groaned.
"Let me see," River said
"What?" I asked while chuckling.
"Let me rub your feet Taliah." He responded.
I hesitantly turned my back to the door and put my feet on his lap.
He immediately started to rub my feet and the pain slowly subsided.
Sooner or later I fell asleep.

"Taliah, wake up we're here." A voice woke me from my nap.
"Hmm?" I furred my eyebrows.
I opened my eyes and was met with Rivers beaming smile.
"Afternoon sleepy head." He teased
"What time is it?" I asked still sleepy.
"5 pm," River answered.
"Five- five o'clock?! We get out of school at three. You let me sleep for two hours?." I questioned.
"Yes, you were tired. Plus you are cute when you sleep." He smiled.
I blushed and failed to hide it since my back was still against the door and my feet were still in River's lap.
"Well, can we change? I want to see what you had planned." I said while starting to get excited.
