Her World

Chapter Six

Chapter 6

Well this is awkward to say the least. After Jake said he wanted to talk to me, I waited for him to talk but he didn’t, instead he wanted to go to another room where it was more private. Well at least if he was going to embarrass me it wouldn't be in front of the whole school, for that I was thankful. I just nodded and preceded to sc8, it’s the old science room so I knew nobody would be in there. Once the door was shut things started to get awkward, and that leads to where we are now.

I was nervously perched a desk at the front while Jake is stalking back and forth, he had been doing this for at least 5 minutes now. I was starting to think that he was going to indent the floor, haha imagine that. I couldn’t help but let out a little laugh at the thought, but this seemed to catch Jakes attention as his head shot up from the floor straight at me. I could feel a blush making its way to my cheeks. I heart started to beat quite loudly, I don’t think I can take much more of this waiting.

“What’s so funny” Jake mumbled but I could see the amusement on his face.

“It’s er nothing- I was just thinking erm so.. you wanted to talk to me?” I lifted my eyes to meet his through my long eye lashes.

“Yeah I did, I saw the comments last night-

“Oh them, their nothing you know, I er better be going. It’s okay if you don’t want to be seen with me anything, I’ll keep out of your way” I rushed out; I didn’t wait for a response I just swiftly removed myself from the desk heading for the door. Before I could make it I felt a hand on my arm spinning me round to meet his intense gaze. His eyes still hard as stone, I couldn't help the whimper which tore through my throat as his fingers were digging into my already sensitive skin.

His eyes started to soften and relax which lead me to let out a shaky breath I didn’t know I’d been holding. His fingers loosened but he still had hold of me, I think he was scared that if he let go i would head straight for the door, which he wouldn’t be wrong about. My nerves were on edge, my palms were sweating, he started to lean down so he was directly in front my face.

“I don’t like the things they were staying about you, what they said was out of line and wrong” his voice was quiet and low yet still soft. I really didn’t know how to reply, to say the least I think that was the last thing I thought would come out of his mouth.

“I’m used to it, what they say about me in correct, no point in lying about that.” My voice just above a whisper, I could feel my eyes stinging but I refuse to cry in front of him. I didn’t want him to think I was weak as well.

“That is not true! I will not let you say such things about yourself!” he growled out. “How long has this been going on?!” Jake once calm voice more getting more angry and vicious, I was started to get a little scared now so I began backing away only to be pulled back into a muscular chest. I took a deep breath inhaling his delightful cologne also letting out a little moan only audible to me I hope.

“Sorry for yelling, I didn’t mean to scare you but I promise you I would never hurt you” he sounds so sincere, I couldn’t help a little smile creep onto my face. 

“So you still want to be seen with me? I’m not sure if that’s a good idea, your reputation and your friend may disappear and also Karla will be really pissed” I didn’t want him to risk his social life as I knew if he started hanging round with me, It would be hell for both of us.

“Seen with you?” Jake said with a little chuckle. I felt my heart breaking, I knew he didn’t want to be seen with me, so what was this all about.  I shouldn’t have come with him; it’s even worse how he made me feel comfortable around him, for him to laugh in my face. My eyes started to water and run down my cheeks. I think I heard Jake mumble a curse but I’m not sure. I felt his cool fingers come into contact with my warm face tipping my chin to meet his gaze.
