ARTEMIS||

I sighed and thought about the couple I saw earlier, would I be happy like them if I got into a serious relationship with Mateo? At the same moment I realized that we never took the tutoring thing seriously. I mean, I'm glad we never really did it because we both know that we would've done more than just mathematics and history. Just thinking about what happened made my body feel instanly hot.

Gosh, I need to stop thinking about that. I took a sip of my coffee that was now melted ice mixed with watered milk. I looked down at my laptop to check the time, it was already five in the afternoon. My last class ended maybe 3 hours ago, which means I havenow three hours left to study and then I will need to go back to school.

I had an important meeting with the director to know who was the top student of the year. I needed to be on that list to have a chance in the best university of the state. I can't miss this opportunity. She already sent the emails to twenty of the best students in the school. I just needed to be better than the nineteen other people who was thinking the same as me.

I've been waiting for this moment for years.

I quickly finished my math homework before sending it to the teacher. I sighed and closed the laptop. I brushed the strands of hair that were falling out of my ponytail out of my face. I tried avoiding hair wash day by putting my hair in buns and ponytails with the gel my mother gave me before leaving, but i could feel my hair getting dryer and dryer each day. Okay time to go home, did enough for today and I  need to rest because my body was probably going to fail me soon.

I was about to get up when my phone buzzed on the table, I looked at my screen and couldn't help but feel anxious at the message the unknown number just sent me.

Leaving already Princesse? Aw, i wanted to talk to you.

-M.

I rolled my eyes before finishing packing my things in my bag. That message was clearly from Mateo, i tried to convince myself that I was annoyed by his text, but deep down, the butterflies that went flying in my stomach says otherwise. Him and his damn French nicknames. I could suddenly feel eyes staring at me and I couldn't help the blush staining my neck.

My phone buzzed again, and I already knew it was him. My mind was telling me to not open his message, to walk away from the cafe and block his number, but my body moved against itself as I grabbed my phone and opened the text.

I want to talk to you, please stay Artemis.

-Mateo

Was written big on my screen, I sighed ans sat down on the chair again, putting my bag on the table. What did he wanted to tell me that was so important that he couldn't wait until we were at the Academy? Yes I admit that I was maybe avoiding him, but he could've waited until we saw each other at school.

I looked around, trying to find his deep eyes somewhere. Where was he?? I suddenly felt a hand on my back as his scent filled my nose. I felt his warm breath just above my neck. Shivers travelled down my entire body as a small gasped got out of me.

''Did I scare you?'' He asked, sounding concerned. That damn voice. Ignored his question and couldn't help but biting the nails of my fingers nervously. His hand that was practically wrapped against my waist suddenly left my body as he sat down next to me. Thank God, I could finally breathe normally, I tried to not look at the man that was almost two times my size sitting next to me by keeping my eyes in front of me.

I knew that if I looked at him knowing how close he was next me would've made me moan at his beauty. Instead, I calmed myself down to try not look as pathetic as I already was.

''What did you want to talk about?'' I asked him before clearing my shaky voice.

''I wanted to apologize once again, because i feel like you're ignoring me, and i don't know why but I care about you and the fact that I'm making you uncomfortable makes me hate myself.'' He breathed out.

My heart skipped a beat as i turn my head to finally look at him. His hazel eyes were looking into mines as his face glowed under the light on top of him. His hair was  scattered all over his head. His dark shirt was incredibly tight, but i wasn't complaining at all because of how beautiful his muscles looked in it.

He looked desperate, as if he was begging me to talk to him. The sight of him made me take a sharp breath that he thankfully didn't noticed. ''Listen, i'm not mad at you or anything, you're just confusing me.'' I hesitantly spoke.

His eyebrows furrowed at my answer as he looked away from me.

''I know, I'm sorry but to be honest, I'm just as confused as you.'' He mumbles. Was he serious? The fuck did he meant by '' I'm just as confused as you'' Wasn't he the one who started all this, he's the one who made fun of me since we started school, he's the one sending mixed signals and now he's confused? Man, he better be joking right now.

I scoffed at his answer, as anger flooded my body.

''Aw, poor Mateo, he's confused because he's not getting what he wants for the first time.'' I faked pouted, His jaw clenched but he wasn't scaring me I wasn't done with him.

''You're the one sending mixed signals since the beginning, you're the one making fun of me and making me feel like nothing and the next day you act as if i was the love of your life and looking at me all day. What the fuck do you want?! You want to play with me?! Because i am not the right person you decided to play with. Do you understand?!'' I spat. Men nowadays.

MATEO||

I did understand what she was saying but i didn't know she would be affected by my actions like that. I never thought it was a big deal until now. I finally realized how stupid I was. Seeing her like that made me want to hold her and make her smile again. '' I'm sorry, okay?!" The words fell out of my mouth automatically.

''I really don't know what to do to make you forgive me, but I just know that my body does not want to leave you. I don't know why but I keep thinking of you, how beautiful you look everytime you get out of them damn classes, I keep losing my mind around you and I don't act like myself. This has never happened to me and I just don't know how to get this feeling out of me. I really didn't realize how much of a jerk i was t until now and fuck, I'm so sorry, Artemis.'' I trailed off the end of my sentence and sighed again.

Her big brown eyes looked at me looking confused and I just wanted to kiss her pain away until we were both out of breath.

''Okay.'' She simply said. '' I forgive you for good this time, but you better don't humble me again or trust, you'll never hear of me again.'' She pointed her small finger on my chest before slightly pushing against me. A smirk formed at the corner of my mouth at how cute she was trying to be intimidating.

''Aw, you're so cute when you're mad, princesse'' I teased. I knew she liked it when I talked to her in French, every time her cheeks  go red as her plump lips parts, ready to be devoured by my mouth.

God what is she doing to me.
