His Lifeline | [2] ✔️

7. Heartbeat

27th September, 2021

It's been another stressful three more days after the morning boy talk with Enzo. I haven't stopped repeating his words in my head. 'You don't need to have have fun without having a label on what you two are.' I don't even know what I am well obviously a human but that asides the point here.

I don't want to think about my best friend in any other way but it's hard when I see him sitting across the school car park smoking a cig at quarter to nine in the morning as he watches me with this look in his eyes that I can't decipher. As I lean against the wall with Lyn standing in front of me as she rambles on and on about some chick.

I zoned out the conversation a few moments ago when my eyes caught Aiden. When I look at him I feel this feeling of want, of need. I never felt this pull between us before, why now?

I wasn't going through all the motions, I was going through the temptations. Wanting him. Needing him.

But I can't because it's wrong. I have a girlfriend who is standing right in front of me as me and Aiden stare into each other's eyes. I watch as he puffs out a air of fumes into the air, his eyes are looking like they are staring deep into my soul.

It's like I am enchanted by his gaze that I didn't even notice that Lyn has stopped talking is slapping me slightly on the arm making me flinch a bit as I snap away from Aiden raised concerned eyebrows watching the scene. I look down at Lyn who is frowning a bit.

"What is up with you lately?" She says, as she rubs her hands up and down my arm. I don't get sparks the same way Aiden had done when he touched me.

"Just thinking about the game in three weeks, y'know if we win we could get into the semi finals" I thought quickly as she raises a brow before nodding her head smiling.

"Don't worry you will be fine. Your the best player on the team, everyone knows that" she gushes as she leans up to kiss me on the lips.

I kiss her back about to pull away when she brought her hand to the back of my neck to lean in deeper. I craved in to the touch because if she pulls away from me, she would automatically think something is up.

Which there is; Aiden.

I run my tongue along her lips asking for permission to enter, she gave in quickly. I grabbed her waist pulling her in to me but the worst thing about this is that I am not thinking about her or this kiss.

I'm imagining that this kiss was with someone else and it's completely immoral.

I feel disgusted with myself but at the same time I feel this weird feeling inside of me saying it's right to think about him.

I pull away glancing over at where Aiden would have been but he isn't there anymore. I felt something break from inside of me and I don't know why. Was I sad?

I've no clue but all I know is that these feelings for my mate is growing by the days and I can't control it. All I want to do is go up to him right here right now we'll wherever he is here and smash my lips against his.

But I'm scared.

I've never liked a boy before and I have never thought that I would ever think about one at that but Aiden makes me feel things that I never felt before.

Has he always liked me more than a friend?

I hear the second warning bell as Lyn takes my hand in to her small ones before pulling me inside. I make it to my first class of the day which is English, Lyn is in this class with me and guess who else?

Aiden.

I walk into class with my girlfriend by my side as she sits down in her assigned sit but not before kissing me on the cheek well I go to the back of the class room sitting in my assigned seat, seeing that my partner is there already.

Aiden.

Rossi and Romano who would have knew how cliche it is that your best friend is assigned be side you but not only my best friend the one I am thinking about twenty four seven.

I place my gear bag on the ground before getting my English books out of my bag and placing that down in the ground beside my gear bag. I look straight ahead as Ms Newton my English teacher walks in with a cup of tea and her bag. She sets them down right away before getting stuck in to our new novel: The great gatsby.

The class rolls on as Ms Newton finishes the last two of three chapters of the great gatsby when I felt a leg brush against mine as I turn side ways to see Aiden not looking at me but I know he knows I'm looking at him. I look down at my copy of The Great Gatsby with my cheeks going tainted red as I clutch the book a bit tighter.

His leg stays there throughout the rest of the remaining hour when there's only ten minutes left of class. Ms Newton smiles setting her book down before looking at the clock. She gets up quickly grabbing the worksheets on her desk before splitting it into the right amount of students there is in that certain row.

"Right for your unit 2 internal assignment, this piece of work is 60% of your final grade for your end of year mark. Read the information provided and I want you to summarise and analysis The Great Gatsby with in addition of 20% within the 60% is about going into the depth of explaining the heart rate of the reader throughout this book as they read it..." she pauses as she checks if everyone has a sheet.

A guy from my football team turns to me from the front as he hands me the last two worksheets. I grab them off him with a small nod before handing one to Aiden, his hand brush against mine when he takes it making me retract my hand quickly. I see him side glance at me from the corner of my eye with a small smirk.

"...I want you in full detail to tell the examiner when does the heart rate increase" Aiden slides his hand onto my leg making me jump slightly in my seat as I glance down to see him clutching my thigh in his hands as they stay there making me to blush. I glance at him as he watches me squirm under his touch and gaze.

"When does the heart rate slow down...?"

His hand slowly moves up to my crotch as he keeps his hand there as I clench my thighs together making his hand stay tightly at my thighs. He chuckles under his breath as my heart rate increases. I turn to him with a hated glare, "stop" I whispered-seethed to him but he starts to moves his hand palming me through my jeans making my shaft twitch.

"Why? What does this reveal about the story?" Ms Newton continues, "the person your sitting beside is your partner and this is due in two months time so enjoy" she smiles before waving her hand for us to get up.

Aiden removes his hand from me before gathering his stuff while I sit there for a few moments trying to get my breathing rate back. As he was leaving he leans down to whisper into my ear as his breath against my skin causes me to shiver, "I can feel your heart rate increasing really fast, Lucas, if you don't stop that I'll probably have to give you chest impressions and my personal favourite mouth to mouth" he says before leaving but not before turning around again, "see you at my house tonight at seven, don't be late" he demands, leaving the room.

God I never felt so turned on in my life.
