Her World

Chapter Twenty

Chapter 20

My eyes slowly flicker open to meet a very dark room which is defiantly not mine. Someone groans next to me, I now realise the position that I’m in. Our legs are tangled together with my head resting on a firm chest. Panic flows though me, who is this? All of yesterday’s events slowly come back to me.

The sweet shop, graveyard and waking up in Jake’s car and then going to Jake’s quite creepy house in the middle of no-where. Something did tick in my mind. Where are his parents? Surely he couldn’t be out here all on his own. Also why the hell does he go to school at Willow Creek when he lives way out of town, surely there much be a school closer by? I will have to ask him about that when he wakes. 

My eyes start getting used to the dark room. How is it still dark? It must be the morning by now. I begin to search round the room for a clock, but I see none. This is most probably he’s always late for school.

Shit school! I make a terrible job of carefully climbing over Jake. I hurriedly lift my leg over his body so that I’m saddling him, my breathing hitches and my hearts starts beating as he stirs under me.   

“No, don’t wake up now” I say under my breath. His breathing evens out and I take that as my good to go sign. I move my left arm to the headboard; my face is now directly in front of Jake’s, I can feel his warm breath on my lips. Just as I’m about to pull my other leg over, Jake grabs my hips firmly.

“Well this is a different way to wake up in the morning, and I can safely say that I like it” he smirks. “Though I wish you would of just asked me instead of trying to rape me in my sleep, well actually I wouldn’t mind” he finishes with a wink.

“What? No I wasn’t I swear!” I blurt out trying to scramble get off his lap, but his grip on my hips tightens.

“Wow babe chill, I was only joking”

“Sorry” I mumble

“I really wish you would stop apologising for doing nothing wrong”

“Sor- Oh yeah right sorry... Oh for crying out loud!” I sigh frustrated with myself; I really need to stop making a fool out of myself. Jake just lets out a little chuckle.

“Ugh come here” He pulls me forward and our lips meet. His lips soft lips brush against mine, I feel a little spark between us before the contact disappears. No I want more! I go back for more; I just want to feel his smooth lips against mine again. Before I can make contact with those lips, I’m slowly pushed back.

I feel rejected, hurt courses though me. I really thought he wanted me, wanted to kiss me. I know it’s stupid to get upset about this but it’s the first boy I like, I mean really like and feel comfortable around. I know I have only known him a week and things are going pretty fast between us, but I can’t help it. He makes me feel different, loved. Something I haven’t felt in a while.

“Oh princess, please don’t cry” he soothes, using the pad of his thumb to wipe away my fallen tears. I hadn’t even realised I’ve been crying. Ugh I’m seriously such a dork.

“Sorry” I mumble, I can’t help but say sorry even though things aren’t my fault. I always just found it easier to apologise than to fight. It was always that way at home, even if I didn’t do anything I knew I would be blamed. Then again I am the person who walks in to chairs and says sorry.

“I thought we just talked about this ‘sorry’ malarkey” he sighs.

“Sorr-“but before I could finish my sentence his lips brush over mine again. Before he can pull away again I take advantage. I’m not too sure where this confidence came from but I didn’t question it as I pushed further into the kiss. I was a bit disheartened that Jake didn’t respond. I pull away looking down.
