"I can just wait for him there." He stares at me.
"You don't look good Kimberly, come on I'll drop you." He grabs my hand,I stare at it then back at him
"Okay." I whisper
The silent breezy ride has done me some good. I turn my head slightly and look at him. Really look at him, he's so handsome,his hair,his lips,the way he drives. I don't realize the car has stopped until he turns and meets my gaze. His green eyes hold mine hostage,we stare at each other for long seconds.
I lift my hand wanting,no needing to touch him, he doesn't stop me or break eye contact. I come back to my senses and withdraw my hand quickly.
"I should go, thanks for everything."
I open the door and step out, rush to the doorstep not daring to look back, I open the door,shut it and slide down against it, then I start crying again.
I spend the rest of the night locked up in my room. Mom came to check on me but I refused to open the door,my excuse being "I need to study for a test." She kept quiet for a few minutes and left with only "okay."
I wake up earlier than usual, that's the only way I can escape mum's questions and worried face,the last thing I want is to top on her worries, she's mentally frustrated enough.
I shut my bedroom door and walk on my tip-toes. I don't dare go to the kitchen because I'm afraid even a low clink of something can wake her.
It's still a bit dark outside but 5am is a safe time in this neighborhood. By the time six clocks it'll be bright and safe to walk to the bus.
I don't know how long I keep walking but the sun is out,a car honks behind me, I turn and find it's Sam.
She stops the car and steps out.
"Kim! Are you crazy? Your mom called me,how could you just leave like that,it's dangerous." She stands in front of me and gasps
"Were you planning on walking to school?" She looks shocked
"No. I was planning on getting on a bus." She shakes her head
"You don't look good,get in." She pulls me towards the car and I get in.
I start to doze off in the middle of classes, I didn't sleep at all last night. I kept replaying what that sick bastard did to me yesterday,I remember everything and literally throw up, like now. I rush out of the classroom and head straight for the bathroom and throw up. Tears stream down my face.
"Kim?" Followed by a knock
"Kim? Please answer me you're worrying me."
I get up and open the stall.
"I'm okay, I just..." I sigh "I don't feel too well."
I rinse my mouth with water and then wash my face. Sam looks at me with worry
"Sam..I'm okay really." I turn around "don't worry." I smile
"Okay..if you say so. Do you wanna go home?"
"No. It's okay am good."
I try my hardest to concentrate. I avoid looking up,I just keep my head down in fear of seeing the monster that's tormenting me both mentally and physically.
After school, Ronan drops me off at home. I don't dare spend ten seconds looking at him because I'm afraid he'll see right through me.
"Bye." I kiss his cheek and leave the car in a rush
"I'll call you." He shouts
I turn and smile, the last thing I see on his face is worry. Shit!
BRANDON
When Kimberly tried to touch me yesterday, my whole body froze,I wanted it,I wanted her to touch me,I wanted her soft hand on my cheek, but she didn't,she didn't and I hated it.
The fact that I caught her staring and she didn't entertain the idea to pretend she wasn't really caught me by surprise.
The thing with me is that I'm very good at keeping my poker face, I developed the habit when I was just eleven years old. Some people called me unfeeling,some detached, some heartless because well,when I set my mind on something or someone, I do get them one way or the other, whether I use manipulation or force.
When I want something,I don't stop until it's mine and as of now that something or rather someone is Kimberly. Ever since I laid my eyes on her in that cafeteria, I wanted her for myself, and then that fucker introduced her as his girlfriend then I needed her for myself and lastly I fucking touched her,smelled her natural scent,tasted her skin and now I'm beginning to have an obsession.
I've been following her ever since that incident in the school parking lot. I'm not stupid, I know fear, absolute terror when I see it. Hell I wanted more of it when it seeped from her pores into my nose when she thought I wanted her golden boyfriend to find us in a very compromising position.
The parting and quivering of her pink little lips,the widening of her big violet eyes,the tiny gasp and plea she let out in a small shaky voice which instantly rushed blood to my dick. Fuck!
I breath it,live it,thrive in it,it's a part of me, but seeing another fucker putting it on Kim's face is another story,a fucking bloodthirst turn on for me.
I trace my upper lip with my index finger while I stare at her back from the backseat of the class. I will find the motherfucker and I will definitely pound his head into the concrete so I can smash that block carrying a useless thing inside that thinks what's mine is free to touch. I will find him.
"Hey Bran."
Bree,the cheerleading captain slides in the seat next to me
"Hi."
The rest of the guys are seated around the "Elites" table.
One, I don't give a fuck about some title,I'm here for ball and that's it. Two, I fucking hate desperate girls. I don't fuck them, because if I do,they turn clingy and start to think we're a thing. Three, if I do fuck them,then I'll have to be mean when getting my message through their little brains.nothing more than a quick fuck.
"So I was thinking, do you wanna join us for lunch after school? I'd be great if you do."
She twirls her blonde hair around her finger,it's nothing compared to Kim's golden hair.
"No thanks,I'll be busy."
"With what?"
"Something personal."
Sam walks in and I stare behind her but there's no sign of Kim.
"So?"
"So..?" I lift a brow
"You coming right?"
The doors open and Ronan walks in,he's holding hands with someone behind him, Kimberly comes in view smiling at whatever he just said to her. I look at their joined hands and my jaw clenches. They take a seat next to Jonathan who can't seem to shut his mouth.
"Hey man." Ronan bumps fists with the team,he nods at me and I do the same. Kim on the other hand doesn't even look at me. I try everything to make her but she's dead stubborn on not sparing me a single glance.
"You know..it's just me,Nao and Jonathan, I'll be bored to death when they third wheel me." She pouts
"Please...." Just to get her off my back I say
"Fine,we go out one hour,one and that's it."
Shockingly, Kim's head turns towards us
"I won't let you get bored, I promise."
She moves her hand up to my chest and leans her head on my shoulder.
Kim looks at me,at Bree,then her hand on my chest. She takes almost thirty five seconds staring at Bree's hand.
Hmmm, interesting. I decided to taste the waters so I lift my hand and wrap my fingers around her chin, Kim's attention snaps to my face, our eyes collide,
She swallows then looks away, did i imagining or was that jealousy I just saw? Because if it jealousy ,then she does feel something for me and I definitely have to explore and make her accept it herself
