KILLER EYES

CHAPTER 12

After our meeting in the main lobby, I rushed back to my room angrily and slammed the door behind me. Why does everything  have to be ruined! Why couldn't I just enjoy a nice trip, instead my partner is a bloody psychopath! In anger, I threw a pillow across the room.

I sat down on the bed and looked at the ground, my anger suddenly turned in to sadness, and it seemed to me as if I was going to cry my eyes out at any moment. I felt really bad, and i can only imagine what Jasper feels like. Just from his facial expression, I saw how sorry he was.

There was a faint knock from behind my door, and I didn't even have the strength to answer. After a moment of silence, the door opened quietly and Jasper entered my room. He had exactly the same look on his face as I did, he was angry and sad at the same time.

My heart hurts seeing him in such a state, to see him sad and hurt is what I really don't want. Even though he was sad, he still tried to smile at me and walked over to my bed.

„I'm sorry princess...I tried to talk to Mrs. Bolton, but she told me she's not going to talk about it anymore and that I should not question her decisions" he knelt in front of the floor while I sat on the bed.

„That's okay" I said quietly.

„Look... the last day on the trip we are free to do whatever so then we could go snowboarding together I can teach you or we can go somewhere for lunch and have your favorite spaghetti ''

„Yes...that would be nice" my words were completely lifeless and did not sound very convincing.

„Ria..." he said quietly and cupped my face gently in his hands.

His touch was warm ... full of compassion and sadness, as if he feared he would hurt me even more. He started stroking my cheeks with his thumb while looking at me with his beautiful smile. I didn't even realize how pretty and cute Jasper's face is up close. His eyes were also beautiful, they were the color of the ocean.

I smiled even though this wasn't our plan but I'm happy he's here with me now.

„Thank you for coming to check up on me, but I'm fine" I laughed slightly and grabbed Jasper's hands, trying to push them away.

His head leaned in closer to mine and my heart began to race. His gaze was no longer on me but on my lips and I didn't know what to do. I felt the world around me stop and everything was suddenly in slow motion. All I heard was the strong pounding of my heart.

„Jasper?" I said nervously, well he completely ignored me.

Jasper's hands shifted from my cheeks to the back of my neck and he tilted his head to the right until our faces were only inches apart. I felt his breath on my lips, my body completely froze. I couldn't move, and there were a million thoughts in my head, but I couldn't concentrate on any of them, the only thing I could focus on was Jasper's breath on my lips.

I closed my eyes tightly and waited for Jasper's lips to press against mine. Although I'm not entirely sure this was what I wanted to experience with Jasper.

His soft lips gently grazed against mine when suddenly his phone rang and he quickly pulled away. His face was red and I can imagine how embarrassed he felt, not to mention how embarrassed I feel.

My heart was pounding and my fingers were touching my lips. No Jasper .... this isn't how it is between us...... at least I think it's not.Why do I feel like this trip is just getting worse by the minute, nothing is going according to my plan!
