Scandals (ZUTARA)

Chapter 48 : Suki ❤︎ | Carlust

APRIL

All the guys that had openly had a crush on Suki, were ignoring her, and that bothered Su a lot. She wanted to find out why, so she cornered Leroy in an alley just outside their school.

When she leaned in to kiss him, he turned away rudely. "I can't," he whispered and Suki backed away.

"Why? You seemed pretty into me at Nulak's party," she pointed out.

Leroy shook his head. "I want to, but I can't."

"Why?"

"Carlos-" he said, stuttering.

"Did he threaten to burn you?" Suki chuckled as a joke.

"How did you know?" 

Suki's eyes lightened up. "Wait, did he seriously threaten to burn you?"

Leroy nodded. "Yeah, he did."

"Oh my god," Suki replied. Carlos liked her back! All of sudden, her every attempt to hide her feelings for him vanished, and she thought to herself for the first time: I like Carlos. "I'm gonna go now," she said, quickly running to her car and getting inside. She had to go see Carlos, but there was one problem. She had no idea where he lived. 

"Hey Leroy," Suki yelled, popping her head out of the car window. "Do you know where Carlos lives?"

"On the edge of the Roku River, right by the cinema," Leroy yelled back. 

Suki had seen a 'for sale' sign on a house near the cinema last year, so she assumed that was Carlos's house. "Thank you," she said Leroy before speeding out of the school's car park.

When she knocked on Carlos's door, she was so glad it was him who'd answered and not his mum. "What do you want?" he asked rudely. Carlos had never talked to her so impolitely before,  so Suki was quite frightened to step inside.  

"I have to tell you something," she confessed. "But first, can you show me to your room?"

"Sure." Obediently, Suki followed Carlos up to his room, making sure she didn't get lost in the maze of corridors around them. "This is my room," Carlos said, pushing open the last door on the right.

It was just like what Suki had imagined:  boy band posters plastered on one side of the wall and Pro-bending posters on the other. Suki sat beside Carlos on his bed, nervous for what's she about to do.

"So, what did you want to tell me again?" he asked, turning to Suki.

Slowly, Suki shuffled towards him, and closed the distance between them, pressing her lips against his. When she went to pull away, Carlos captured her mouth with a tender kiss, pulling her onto his lap until her legs were locked around his hips, and her hands were in his hair. 

Kissing Carlos was nothing like Suki had imagined. He handled her gently, his lips sweet like honey. When Carlos's head had finally hit the bed frame behind him, Suki was grinding against him, basically f*cking him through his clothes.

"Hey," he looked her in the eye. "Let's take it easy okay?" he told her, but Suki still managed to be wake up naked in his arms the next day.
