My enemy since childhood

Chapter 45

There were only 3 hours and 42 minutes left of this 4 hour journey, i thought. I tried to think of something other than Thomas leg touching mine or his arm resting against mine.

As soon as he moved a little, a rush went through my whole body. I would just like to lean into his arms and lay my head on his shoulder or maybe his neck, right there....

"What are you looking at?"

I swallowed and flinched. I lowered my gaze as my cheeks heated up.

"What are you staring at?" he continued amused, bending down closer to me.

"Nothing" i mumbled. Only a few minutes had passed and i had already embarrassed myself.

"Come on now, i saw you staring" he said teasingly and hugged one of my thighs. As if that made it any better.

"Y/n? What were you staring at?" he continued in a whisper as he leaned even closer to me, so close i could feel his breath against my lips.

"But nothing!" i whispered and leaned against the window, if he would lean a little closer i would probably kiss him. So pathetic but he was so handsome with the hood still up that i would like to....

"Now, you the bloody hell tell me what it is! Do i have dirt somewhere?" he asked with a laugh, rubbing my face.

Oh my god, just the thought of Thomas awake, his hair tousled with a morning voice made my stomach turn.

I shook my head, was i going crazy? when had i started fantasizing about him like this?

"It's nothing, i'm just tired" i said and tried for a smile as he raised his eyebrows questioningly.

He didn't let go of me with his gaze and i felt my cheeks burn more. I glanced down at his hand that was still firmly on my thigh. When i slowly turned my gaze up, i caught his slightly parted lips.

"Have you ever been skiing Y/n?"

I flinched again and felt Thomas quickly remove his hand from my thigh. It was close, i thought as i met Jake's gaze, i had completely forgot that he had turned around in the seat in front of us.

"Yes, but it was a long time ago" i said and cleared my throat.

"Then i can help you, i'm the king of the hill" continued Jake with a smirk.

"She doesn't need your help" Thomas said shortly and straightened but Jake just laughed.

"Why do you care?" Jake asked teasingly.

"I don't, just fuck off or do you want to start a fight? Dylan wouldn't mind slapping you in the face for flirting on his sister."

"Come on, he's got other things on his mind" Jake said nodding over Dylan and Brooke so i couldn't help but look over, and he had right, they were completely engrossed in each other.

"Get the bloody hell out of here! Make out with Kylie instead, she seems really keen."

"That's too easy. I like a little challenge" Jake continued, giving Thomas a look i couldn't decipher.

Uh, hello? had they forgotten i was sitting here?

I was just about to say something when i saw Thomas lean forward. I also saw him whisper something to Jake but couldn't hear what he said. It must have been something nasty because Jake's eyes went black before he snorted and turned around again and Thomas sank back into his seat contentedly. I raised my eyebrows as a small smile crept onto his lips. What the hell?
