My ghost boyfriend

It’s not that I was afraid exactly, I just knew one of the guys were going to try and scare me, that’s why I was so hesitant to go in the old abandoned house with my friends. I didn’t believe in ghosts so what was there to afraid of.. rats? Bats? A dead body? Nah! “Hey winter, you ready?” Ryan asked putting his arm around my shoulders, I didn’t know him all too well as a person yet although we are getting to know each other better, he was definitely one of the nicer friends of my friends. Kylie and josh were laughing together, they are my best friends in the whole world, Ryan and Tim are friends of his and Lacey is Tim’s girlfriend. Honestly I wasn’t a big fan of Tim and Lacey, they can be mean and not for any reason in particular just because they can. “Yeah” I said I little unsure and of course Lacey heard. After walking over to me a bit too dramatically she laughs with her voice going straight through me, “I think she’s scared!” She smirks at me before twirling her light blonde hair around her long finger, that match her long slim legs, I mean what she’s doing wearing a skirt in October weather I don’t know but I guess that’s her business not mine. Still there’s no denying however her personality can be she is one stunningly beautiful person to look at. Tim joint her putting an arm around her waist, his dark skin a complete contrast to her pale appearance, but I always did like his hair, I don’t think I have ever seen a neater Afro, and you can tell he’s a guy who takes pride in how he looks, something I have never been good at, with my unruly red curls that never do what I want and I am not tall or leggy, just short and sort of plain other that the face I was blessed with boobs, maybe I get that from my mother. Hell I wouldn’t know. “Come on little red!” Tim chimes in. I see Kylie and josh paying attention and knew they wouldn’t start trying to bait me but this was there idea, they thought it would be fun, plus I’m pretty sure they are hoping to find a quiet place to get physical. I have known them both for years now, Kylie is probably the bravest person I know, she has shoulder length black hair, not tall but taller than me and very sporty just like josh, who for an 18 year old, only just, is quite well build with shoulders and arms and a chest but he’s sort of ditsy, like me, with untamable hair but his is brown to match his eyes. “ oh I’m ready.” I declare when I see everyone looking at me, I walked up to the steps leading to the front door, looking at the dark, gloomy and broken building, “but if we find a dead body one of you is paying for my therapy later on in life.” I turn and smile before walking up the stone steps. Everyone follows, heading for the door, it’s a white door or at least it used to be, now it’s sort of chipped and yellowish, I can see where the door knocker used to be, and there is an engraving in the stone above the door. Ryan notices too, his blues eyes focusing for a second as he runs a hand through his sandy colored hair, “welcome to Logan manor, home to George and Tara Logan and their son Thomas.” He reads the sign. I reach for the knob, twisting it, it gets stuck half way so I jiggle it and suddenly it clicks open. To say I was getting a little nervous about actually going inside was an understatement, I so hope I don’t die here, no one would fine us for weeks. Breathing carefully I push open the door, we all stare at the big entry way into the house, it was dark and dusty, with cobwebs everywhere but I would say once, this place would have been beautiful. We all took a few steps in, looking around, there were doors going off into different rooms, and a big stair case right in the middle, the banisters were carved with little horses, and the chandelier was only half still attached to the ceiling. What the hell happened here. “Ok we are going to go look around over here.” Kylie says, grabbing Josh’s hand leading him away. Well looks like they will be having fun. I turn round to see Lacey and Tim already gone into one of the other rooms, Ryan is standing there looking at me, a cute little smile on his face, for a minute I forget where I am. I walk over the him trying to not let it show how terrified I am right now. “Where do you want to look?” He ask, shuffling his feet. I look around before answering, “upstairs” I could see the balcony from outside before we came in and it was huge, like a whole patio, I wanted to get a better look. “Come on” I say grabbing his hand. It may be possible I am trying to prove I’m not scared and I can have fun but so what? Everywhere we go the wall paper is coming off the walls, there are burns in the walls, broken things everywhere, why didn’t anyone take the stuff here. The owners, the family, even just a thief stealing. We walk into a bedroom, there is an old fire place, a four poster bed, suitcases, like old ones everywhere, some packed some not. And a dressing table, I walk over while Ryan is looking through some clothes, although different now, I can tell it’s makeup on the table, with white powders, charcoal, red paint, whoever this belonged too, I bet she could even do her make up better than me. Suddenly I feel hands go round my waist, pulling closer to his chest, I was right up against Ryan, “this must be the parents room.” He says not making a big thing out of the fact that his hand his touching my bare skin where my top has come up. This is why I like Ryan, he’s simple, just is, he’s interested in all this but he’s chilled, he’s one of the few people I’m comfortable around. “I’m surprised no one has taken anything.” I say as I lift a necklace out of the jewelry box. Ryan’s hand starts stroking just a over the waistband of my jeans, my heart is fluttering, and my skin is on fire, but it feels so good, I can’t help but rest my head on Ryan’s shoulder, I want more. I drop the necklace, when we hear a scream, we both rush for the door only to see Tim and Lacey messing around in the hall. “Don’t let us disturb you!” Tim chuckles wort a wink. “Hey have you seen josh and Kylie?” I ask. Tim stops for a second and then shakes his head following after Lacey once more. I turn to Ryan who is looking all shy again, “come let’s go check another room” we walk down the hallway and go into another room, this one has a balcony, yay, but the second I get through the door I go cold and a shiver makes it way all the way up my spine painfully slowly. “Hey you ok?” Ryan asks look at me. I nod “yeah just cold” I whisper as tough there is someone in the room listening. Ryan just stands in front of me, looking at me, from head to toe, when a smile appears on his face, and I can’t help it I start smiling also, as I walk up to him it doesn’t take a second for his hand to grab my hair as I grab his shirt kissing him. We have sort of been seeing each other for a couple months now but haven’t told anyone yet, his other hand grabs my hip pulling me even closer to him. Walking back wards I feel my legs hit something I am assuming is the bed. Before I can do anything we both get on the bed, our lips not even breaking apart. Once again Ryan’s hand is at the button on my jeans, after a few seconds of struggling with it, it pops open but Ryan freezes. “Hey what’s up?” I ask, running my hand down his chest under his shirt. “Nothing, I just felt a shiver run through me.” Smiling he moves between my legs to start unbuttoning my shirt once he's done with the buttons he takes a second to look at me before coming back down and kissing my neck while grabbing one of my breasts over my bra. I close my eyes enjoying it, feeling the pulsing between my legs get more and more intense. I was not prepared for the sight before me when I opened my eyes, right by the window doors that lead to the balcony is a man, without thinking of anything else I scream, Ryan jumps right of me and looks in the direction I’m still focused on. The man is still there looking sad, wearing old clothes, old like not from this time, he’s pale and covered in ash and dust, Ryan jumps back instantly landing next to me on the bed and now looking just as pale as the man before us. “Who are you?” Ryan asks, standing and straightening himself out, the man doesn’t answer at first looking just as shocked as we are. I start doing my buttons up, noticing the man looking at me, I say man he looks about our age maybe a little older. “You can see me?” He asks in a croaky voice like he hasn’t spoken in a while. Ryan laughs “yeah man, we see you, just like you saw us when you should have been minding your own business.” “Ryan” I say quietly trying to stop him, I don’t know why but I feel like we are intruding in this mans room. I mean it can’t be but it feels like his room. “Sorry we were just going” “No” the man steps forward as if to stop us from leaving and then he just stops, looking sad again. Before we have a chance to say anything the house feels like it is shaking and then there is a scream, a long heartbreaking, fearful scream. Forgetting about the man me and Ryan both run towards the scream, going out the bedroom down the corridor, we come to another bed room. Ryan swings open the door and stood looking out over the balcony is Lacey, she’s white as a ghost with her hand covering her mouth, we don’t even have a chance to say anything when Kylie and josh run in looking just as concerned as we are. “What’s going on?” Kylie asks. I shake my head, not sure if I am currently capable of speaking. It’s Ryan who speaks up. “Lace, where’s Tim?” We all stop and just stare at Lacey who has now sunk down to the floor, with silent sobs coming out. Then she points, out over the balcony, but no one moves. I close my eyes breathing gently trying to be calm, then I walk towards the edge, stopping when I get to Lacey I look back at Ryan and he comes over and helps Lacey stand. Starting to walk again, I am terrified but even that wasn’t enough to prepare me for what I’m staring at. Tim.
