Bad Girl's Nerd

Chapter 40: "Stay You Virtuous Little Fox"

Luke's POV:-

I take a deep breath and knock on the door. Immediately I regret it. After the party we had said goodnight and went into our respective rooms. But I couldn't stay away. I wanted to be around her more.

The door opens with a very confused Lia. Seeing me probably startled her cause she paused brushing her teeth, toothbrush parked on one side of her mouth. She quickly recovers and grabs my hand, pulling me inside and shutting the door. Without a word she disappears into the bathroom. I notice she was wearing a loose top that barely reached her thigh, giving me a full view of her firm legs.

Holy Moses..

She comes back into the room wiping her mouth against a towel. "Are you okay? You look like you saw a ghost."

I gulp and nod keeping my eyes focused on her face. "I was j-just.." I stop myself and run a hand through my hair. "Look I shouldn't have disturbed you. I'll go" I turn around to open the door.

"No!" Lia turns me back, looking at me like I am crazy. "Stay you virtuous little fox" she teases lightly kissing me.

I break away, "I don't think I should stay. I'll be betrayin-"

She silenced me with a more punishing kiss. My eyes widen as she pulls me down to her height and plunges her tongue in my mouth. I grab her waist in support but she doesn't let go.

She tastes like mint, so tasty..

"Now" she asks panting slightly.

"You won't mind if I sleep here right?" I say going over to her bed and sitting down. She gives a victorious smile. Apparently her kiss tells my morals, and all shreds of subconsciousness to go fuck themselves.

"So, how come you were able to sneak out?" Lia happily climbs into the bed.

"Dylan and all the boys are still tired from previous night. So everybody is out like a log" I answer untying my shoes and placing them against the bed.

"I know, you don't like people asking if you are okay, but seriously are you okay? Do your ribs still hurt?"

"No" I smile at her concern. "I am fine... Between you and me, I still feel a tiny jab of pain when I walk, but that'll be gone soon." Lia gives a sad smile. Now this is exactly why I didn't like talking about my wound. They feel bad for me when in reality, I am not even in that much pain.

"What were you watching?" I change the topic quickly, pointing at the laptop on her bed.

"Peaky Blinders" she replies making space for me beside her. I bite my cheek looking at her.

"Relax Lukey. I won't jump on you, no matter how much I want to."

"No that's not it. I feel like I am forgetting something I had to do."

"You'll remember it while watching Peaky Blinders. Now come on... And yes, remove your shirt, because I want you to be comfortable" she says innocently.

"Of course" I reply wryly.

"Purple socks?"

"Huh?"

"Your socks. They look ghastly" Lia mutters. I look down and she's right. I was wearing purple socks and they sure looked ghastly.

"I never noticed. They must be Dylan's" I shrug settling down beside her.

"Should I play from the start?"

I shake my head, "I've watched it once. Just continue from where you left."
