Chapter 48
I was leaning against Alanna’s car waiting on her coming out. Jake had sent me a few more messages but I had yet to read them. I didn’t know what to do about him. I wanted to get to know him more but I didn’t want to put myself right out there.
“Hey girl”. She smiled. “Good to go p>
“Yeah p>
Alanna didn’t quite seem herself, the ride home was quiet but it wasn’t awkward. “Are you okay?”. I asked.
“I’m okay”. She smiled. “Just feel a little sick but I’ll be fine. Are you good p>
“I’m glad there’s no school for two days. I plan on spending them in my pjs”. I had already decided I wasn’t going to the beach tonight. I just wanted to chill out with takeout and a movie.
“Are you not coming tonight?”. She asked as we pulled up outside Jakes house. I didn’t mind, my house was only round the corner.
“I don’t think so I’m not really in the mood and I really need to study. Ryan’s supposed to be coming over to help me but I don’t know how long his practice will be p>
“He seems a little busy to help you out. Wasn’t he meant to come by last night p>
“What you getting at Alanna?”. We were all busy at times. I was just glad he was helping me out.
“You should ask Jake to tutor you”. How did I not see that coming?
“Maybe”. Unclipping my seatbelt I opened the door and got out. Why would he want to waste his time tutoring me? Surely he was too busy for that.
“He wouldn’t mind”. She shrugged. “If you change your mind tonight give me a call”. I wasn’t changing my mind. I had a big bag of hot Cheetos waiting to be eaten.
“I will”. Walking the short distance to my house I noticed George was over, could see his car in the drive. I wasn’t sure of what I made of George yet but he did make my gran happy.
I could see Jake, he was walking on the opposite side of the street with Jack and a few other guys I met the other night. I had been avoiding his calls and messages all day. Lowering my head I stared at the ground as I walled the rest of the way home. I really needed to start bringing my earphones to school.
“Your phone broke princess?”. I didn’t even see him cross the street.
“It’s not”. I didn’t stop walking.
“You’re killing me here Leah p>
“I’m not allowed my phone in school Jake surely you know that?”. I sighed.
“Let me take you out p>
“Tell me you’re not seeing anyone else”. I stopped walking so I could look at him. “Tell me I’m not making a mistake and tell me you won’t He grabbed me a round the waist pulling me flush against him. I couldn’t breath, time had stopped. My skin tingled all over, my heart pounding in my chest.
Brushing his nose against mine I couldn’t break the stare, I was hypnotised by the color of his eyes. My mouth became dry, my breathing heavy. My body felt like it was on fire, I wanted him to kiss me and do other things that I shouldn’t even be thinking. “You’re mine princess. Do you understand that p>
I didn’t know what he was saying, right now I didn’t care. All I cared about was the way my body felt against his.
“You’re so fucking beautiful”. He growled his lips brushing against mine. “Your smell”. He groaned.
“Leah?”. It was like a bucket of cold water had been thrown over me. With my good hand I pushed on his chest but he didn’t like that. A snarl fell from his lips as he pushed me behind him.
“Are you okay?”. George asked as he took a step towards me but stopped when a growl ripped from Jakes mouth.
What was he doing?
“I’m okay George I’ll be in just now”. As he walked back inside I shoved Jakes arm. “What was that all about?”. He snarled I mean who does that?
“Nothing”. He scowled. “I’ll see you later”. As he walked away I made my way inside and headed straight upstairs. I didn’t need the third degree from my gran because I’m sure George would have told her.
Hanging my bag over my chair I hung up my jacket and took off my shoes. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on. Visit to read the complete chapters for free. Phone in hand I fell onto my bed. I couldn’t stop the butterflies in my stomach. I had kissed Jake before but that one was different. It felt right, it felt good, like I was meant to be kissing him.
Turning my tv on I started to strip out of my clothes. I had a bath bomb that I’d been wanting to use since I got here but never got round to doing it. Placing my clothes in my washing basket I pulled out a pair of fresh pjs for after my bath.
