The moment I could get you under my fingertips again, I knew you
would remember me. I knew what you liked, disliked, and even died for.
I knew there were certain spots on your neck that would eat you alive if
it could. The way I would tug at the roots of your hair to stiffen myself.
How I would be the one to take all your pain away. I knew I was that for
you. Which still makes me wonder why? Why would you hurt the only
girl that made you happy? That's what I wanted out of you. The truth.
Once I got onto you, I knew everything would flash through your mind.
Just like it did for me everyday...
(End of school) Jaden waited by the water fountain outside. I spotted him
through the crowd of displeasing and very jugful students. He was
leaning against the brick wall, the sun shining directly onto him, making
his skin glow even more. He stared at his phon- and that reminded me of the girl.
"Hey," I said to him, making him look up from the device.
"Hey." I didn't know what to say. Part of me wanted to scream at him.
Let the tears shuffle then stream down. Have him feel sorry for me that
I've been through so much pain. But I can't. I don't need his petty
anyway.
"So where did you come from?" He asks as we walked to his car. His
voice was very mellow, shy even. He made such a different character
than when he was with his friends. He stiffened around them, but now,
he's relaxed, laid back.
"Um, small town. It was terrible," I say, getting into his red car that smelt
just as I remembered it too. It smelt of flowers, mint, and just. him.
"Tell me more," he put the car into drive, pulling out of the parking lot
and onto the road.
"Nothing much, it was boring. Especially when all I could think about
was-.." I pause. Fuck-
"Think about what?" He gripped the stirring wheel a little tighter. His knuckles got more white, hands started moving back n forth in a nervous motion. Fuck-
"Just my mom...I don't like to talk about it," I lie. I hear him let out a
small breath.
"Sorry-"
"No, it's fine," l laugh slightly by force.
The car ride was mostly silent, the air conditioning filled up the car more
than our breathing combined. But then we arrived at his house.
I followed him to his bedroom. It was still- as I remembered it to be. I
mean..it's only been a year.
"Nice place," I say as if I was clueless about the beautiful home.
"Yeah- my mom will be here soon if you were wondering," he swallows.
"I wasn't," I couldn't help but smile. I sat on his bed, observing the small
room.
"Right, well, I think we should get to cuddling- I MEAN STUDYING," he stutters. My heart sinks. In a good way.
"Sorry-" He says and awkwardly smiles.
"I wouldn't mind," I smirk, his face flushed, completely pale to his
cheeks which naturally have a patch of red.
"What?" He asks. I stand up, making him backpedal until he fell back
into his leather chair.
"Your cute, It would be even cuter if you-" I pause dramatically, making
him lick his lips as I stood atop of him. "Never mind," I whispered.
"No- say it," His Palms started to sweat, his knees started to buckle and he
clenched his jaw. I could tell he was starting-
"Well, wouldn't it be- relieving to have all that stress just.. go away?" I
ask, he sucks his saliva, watching my every move.
'"'I- can't, I'm sorry," he tries to say.
"'Awe, how come?" lask.
"I- I'm in love with this..girl- I can't," He states but doesn't move. Even
tho those words hit me as hard as a truck, I still won't back down. Not
now. My plan to make him want me was already working. So please just jump into my hands before I drop them to my side.
"And what's her name?" I ask, looking deep into his intense eyes.
"I-" I stop his moth from moving, sitting down on his lap as he straddles
me on top of him. If he loved her- he wouldn't be doing this.
"Do you know who I am?" I ask.
"The new girl?" He asks. I shake my head.
"Then tell me your name." His breath brushes on my face, only making me crave him more.
"Don't you think that's enough talking? Let's do our work yeah?" lask
seductively.
He grips my ass tighter, pulling me closer to him to the point where I
can't move any further.
"I haven't done this in a long time," he admits. I couldn't help but have
my heart light up again. The feeling of hope joins me on another ride.
Taking me in on this festival of what's so calls it- "affection." I will make
him want me more than I want him. And by the looks of this- I'm already
onto my next step...tbc
