Turn Up The Heat

Chapter 7 -Riley

It's been a couple of weeks since Blake stayed at my place and I have been trying to void him like the plague. I am not trying to be a bitch or anything but if I want to get over my crush I have to distance myself. To make matters worse my parents have been acting strange.

They think I don't hear their hushed little conversations. My mom would plead with my dad. We need to tell Riley this is not right holding it back from her. I mean what the hell are they keeping from me? I am so lost in my thoughts as I get my books for my next class that I do not see him sneak up on me as he slams my locker shut. I whirl around with fire in my eyes.

"What the hell?" I feel like my eyes are going to pop out of their sockets.

"What the hell indeed wildfire. Why are you avoiding me?"

If I could I would cower away from the intense stare in his eyes. Instead I lift my chin up and try to speak my mind. The problem is when he has me caged like this against my locker, my thoughts run wild.

Now is not the time for your stupid fantasies Riley.

"I have not been avoiding you it's just a lot is going on."

The look on his face tells me he doesn't believe me. Just as he is about to speak another voice yells out. "Yo Makenzie!" Both our heads snap that way and it's none other than Eric Hansen. Now don't get me wrong he is drool worthy with sandy color hair, blue eyes and a damn fine muscular body. The problem is he is a player and everyone knows it.

"What do want Hansen?" Blake doesn't even move away from me, he just turns his head to look at him.

He gives Blake a smug smile that I want to knock off his face. "I would appreciate it if you let my girl go."

What the actual fuck? Is he delusional?

My head whips so fast that I know I will regret it later and Blake looks between us. "His girl" he looks at me as he backs away slightly. In that moment I wish he didn't because that gave Eric the opportunity to grab my hand and pull me towards him. I would have fell too, if I didn't run into his hard muscular chest.

'Damn right she is." Before I knew what was happening his lips crash onto mine. As soon as my brain registered what happened I slam my hands hard on his chest to push him away.

"Are you out of your mind? Don't ever do that again" I turn to walk away and see the look on Blake's face and I internally cringe. We are not together, it's not like I cheated on him.

"So you're not with him?" Blake finally looks at me with something that almost looks like a pleading look. I shake my head to answer his question and shake the thoughts that my brain are conjuring up. "No I'm not." The look that morphed into Blake's face looks deadly and I take a step back. I have never seen him look so pissed off.

"So let me get this straight wildfire. You are not with Hansen." I shake my head no. "And Hansen just kissed you."

"Unfortunately" I say softly but they both heard me. "Oh come on wildfire you know you liked it." I whip my head towards him but Blake was already landing a blow to his face.

"Blake!"

He knocked Eric on his ass and was still hitting him. By now a crowd was forming until I heard a familiar voice and people moved out of her way.

"What the hell is going on?

"Sam! Make him stop please."

Sam whistled loud enough to pierce your eardrum. "All right boys that's enough!"

I was hoping that would work. Blake looked toward us and that gave Eric the momentum to finally hit Blake back, and the boys were at it again. Sam winks at me and I am confused why she did that.

"Oh will you look at that Riley is making out with Mark."

What the fuck?

Both boys stopped and if looks could kill I would be dead.  Blake was glaring hard in our direction and a chill ran up my spine and not in a good way. Eric started laughing,"See she will kiss anyone man but you. She's nothing but a slut." Blake shoved him so hard he fell on his ass again. "Do not talk about Riley that way!" Blake hits him again and again. If I don't stop this he is going to get in trouble.

"ENOUGH!!!" As soon as I yelled they both stopped as I strode over to them. I grabbed Blake by his shirt and moved him away from Eric.

"See Makenzie she wants another taste of me." Blake moves forward and I put my hand on his chest to stop him. I can feel his whole body shaking and if I wasn't so damn agitated I would be feeling giddy that he was defending my honor.

I walk over to Eric and hold out my hand to help Eric up.

"What the fuck Ry?" I turn around to see Blake confused, I send him a little wink. I turn my focus back on Eric as he stands up with a satisfied smirk on his face it makes me not feel guilty at all for what I'm about to do.

"You want seconds now do you wildfire?"

I can hear Blake literally growl behind me, but I ignore it. I run my hands up his chest and he leans forward but I back away at the last second. "I wouldn't say that Eric."

"Why not?"

I run my hands down his chest towards his pants. His eyes darken and he thinks he won but he has another thing coming. I see the bulge in his pants.

"Riley what the hell are you doing.?

I ignore Blake again even though I want to turn my head. I grab his shoulders and smile at him.

"I knew you were eager baby."

My blood boils as I begin to lift up my knee and get him right where it hurts him most.

"Ahhhhhhh!" Eric screams and I step away as he falls to his knees. I bend down so I am eye level with him.

"Don't you EVER touch a girl without her permission again or it will be worse next time."

I turn around and walk towards Sam and Blake. Both their mouths are hanging open which is quite comical.

"Damn wildfire." Blake smiles at me but the smile disappears quick as I glare at him.

"What?"

I don't waste anytime as I shove him in the chest. "You're a fucking idiot Blake."

With that I run off and right out of school. I faintly hear Sam yell for me. I just take off running. I can't believe I just did that. The tears fall down my face as I begin to shake. I guess that's the affect of the adrenaline wearing off. I'm so lost in my thoughts that I do not hear someone pulling up and stopping their car until I feel hands on my shoulders.

"Ry" I don't answer him I just keep walking. "Damn it Ry stop!" I spin around so fast I feel like my head is going to spin. "Why should I huh! You didn't when I begged you to." He lowers his head in shame.

"I'm sorry Ry." I shake my head and the tears start falling again. I feel his thumbs trying to wipe my tears. "It will be alright."

I shake my head vigorously as he brings me into a hug. "No it won't, he took something from me." Blake steps back to look at me in confusion. "Took what Ry?" I step back from Blake again shaking.

"My first kiss." I didn't wait to see his reaction I just took off running again. Wanting to get away from it all, but most of all wishing that it was Blake that my first kiss went to.
