Melissa’s POV
Oliver gave me a ride home after that. He kissed my cheek and watched me as I entered my apartment building. I went straight to my room and laid down on my bed. Then, as is fangirl custom, I started flailing and screaming. How could this gorgeous boy, no, man want me? I go to my mirror and look at myself. I see a chubby cheeked, short haired, fat, and depressed girl with a little hint of excitement in her eyes. Maybe that was it. My sadness. Guys always fall for a weeping girl. Right? Or maybe he was a chubby chaser. Regardless I was never that girl, so what do I do? How do I act? Sure I’m a pervert who reads yaoi, but that wasn’t the same as kissing a guy. Not the same as doing…that with a guy. Wait! Calm down! It is just one date right? I have known this guy for two days. I need to calm down these female hormones. I pull out my phone and look at the pictures I had secretly taken of him that day. He really is a man isn’t he? I kiss my phone and start to do my homework.
Next Day
This day was not as I expected. Sure I thought that Oliver and I might get some attention, but I had no idea he’d be the one causing a lot of it. I came to school to find purple flowers in front of my locker. I go to find Amanda or Oliver to say thank you, but the bell had wrung. Also it seemed that everyone was watching me and I mean everyone. Teachers, students, the walls, you name it and it was looking right at me. I go to first hour to find Oliver sitting in the desk next to mine. Not just to the left but right beside it with maybe an inch separating them. Confused and slightly embarrassed, I sit in the desk closets to the door. I was looking at my hands in my lap when I heard desk scraping around. My curiosity got the better of me. I look up just in time to see Oliver had put the other desk in its original spot and had transferred the desk right of me to the previous distance. Oliver sat down and put his arm around me. Class stated and I couldn’t even hear what the teacher was saying. My heart was so loud I’m sure china could hear it. Oliver took the silence as focus I guess because he said.
“If you want, I can tell him to give you good grades?” What?! Was his family really that rich and powerful? I was confused, flattered and offended.
“No thank you.” I said sternly. I then took his arm off my shoulders and started taking notes. The idea that I could forget his presence was preposterous. I could feel his warmth. Hear his breath. Smell his cologne. Everything about time was simply too perfect to ignore. After class, I avoided him. It was easy since we only had that one class. Will it was easy until lunch. There he was sitting next to his friends. I saw Amanda sitting with the other friends I had made. I figured that I could sneak past him. Big mistake. The second I walked into the lunchroom all eyes turned to me. What the heck is going on? Does everybody know something I don’t? I turn around, dump my lunch, and walk to the library. Libraries are like second homes to me. I see Amanda and Perry come in as well. Perry was a tall dark beauty. He had green eyes and black hair. His skin tone was a dark sort of tan. He was also the most flamboyant gay man out there.
“Hey, are you okay?” Amanda asked.
“Why is everyone stating at me?!” I threw my hands up in frustration.
“Well…um...” Perry stuttered seemingly trying to answer. “You should talk with Oliver. He can tell you why.”
“To be honest, if this is the attention I’m getting by agreeing to go out with him, I might not want to be his girlfriend.” Amanda and Perry froze. Perry looked at me with sad eyes and Amanda’s were full of worry.
“Do you mean that?” Amanda whispered.
“NO. No I just don’t really mean it. I’d get used to it, but it’s so frustrating and your brother is partly at fault. He keeps wanting to be cuddly in front of everybody and this is so…embarrassing.” I stopped after I realized something. I’d been selfish to ask. “Om my goodnessgracianious. Amanda I’m so sorry.” Amanda and Perry looked confused.
“What for?’
“For saying yes to your brother without asking you first.” Amanda blinked at me. Then she smiled.
“Melissa, I couldn’t pick anyone better than you for my brother. You two are amazing people and I’m glad my brother isn’t dating any of those snobby bitches anymore.” I got up and hugged her. I was about to pull away from her when I felt strong arms around us both. When my heart skipped a beat, I could tell it wasn’t Perry. After a moment more we all let go.
“Come on Amanda. Let’s give these two a little time…to talk.” I turn and watch the two walk away. I feel my band being lifted and pressed against this man’s chest. I look up at my hand, which was placed right on Oliver’s heart.
“If you want, I can stop all the staring. I can stop touching you. I can…” I pressed my palm to his mouth.
“I don’t care if everyone is staring at me. I don’t want you to stop touching me.” I put my hands on his face. “I just want to know why.. We haven’t even gone out yet and it feels like we’ve been together for years and not hours. I fell like…” Oliver kissed me. The kiss was quick but passionate.
“I need to tell you something.”
“Tell me. Now.” Oliver smiled at my demanding tone.
“Patience, my love. I’ll tell you on our date this weekend.” Then he kissed me again. My heart and head weren’t on the same page. My heart said it loved Oliver. My brain said ‘don’t be stupid you too young and it’s too soon to tell.’ But right now I didn’t care about either. I just kissed him back.
