I lied," I say still looking at his lips, he opens his eyes and gazes over at me.
"Uh oh," he whispers, not breaking eye contact. I am suddenly aware of his lingering stare. He looks at me everywhere, every inch, there was no hiding from it. His ga...
I HAD TWO PURPLING LOVE BITES ON MY NECK FROM NORA. They were small little nibbles, and I wore them like jewelry. I didn't bother to hide them, I didn't want to. I wanted to parade around saying, look what I got. Because they were from Nora and no one else had them, but me.
As I sit in study hall, I feel glances being thrown my way. I look up to see Chance peering at me too. He wanted to say something, but he didn't. He resumed typing on his MacBook. I sigh, putting my book down to give him my undivided. I'd known him for years, there was something bugging him.
"Well, let's hear it," I usher him, leaning back in the wooden chair.
He looks up from his expensive laptop, raising a brow. He opens and closes his mouth, trying to find words. "The girl you brought to the party, Nora..."
There's a tightness in my stomach, had they met at the party. How did he know about her, did he like her?
"Are you and her like a thing?" He looks up from his laptop as we share a glance together.
That was a question even I couldn't answer. A part of me wanted to say yes, yes we are a thing, so piss off, Chance. But was it true, if I said no would he pursue her? I didn't want that, the thought of that made my stomach flutter, in a nervous anxious way.
"Why?" I stall, I play this like a game of chess, I wanted to know what his business was with my Nora.
He closes his laptop with a sigh, stretching. "I met her at the party and she's cute."
