Chapter Twenty One
Marebela

Gunn took the bracelet out of my hand.

"I made it for you," I told him.

He played with it in his fingers before walking towards me. He wasn't going to say thank you.

Instead I felt his eyes linger on my body. Why was he looking at me like that? Why did I like it? It felt different than the first time we met. My stomach bursted with butterflies as he continued to move his gaze to my eyes. We held eye contact for a few seconds before I had to look away.

When I looked back up at him, he was still looking at me. A smirk playing on his lips that sent a fireball into my stomach.

I needed him.

He leaned down to my height and placed a kiss on my lips. My first kiss. It was magical and everything I ever dreamed of.

I felt something cold against my skin and it snapped me back to reality. Did I just imagine Gunn kissing me?

How did it feel so real?

I felt blush creep up my cheeks. Did he know I was thinking about that? I hope it wasn't written on my face.

I saw Gunn hold the bracelet in his hand.

"Why did you make this for me?" he asked. His eyes didn't linger on me anymore and they were expressionless. I couldn't tell if he liked it or not.

"Because I like you!" I blurted out. "Not like that, not like in a romantic way because I know you don't feel the same way."

Stop talking, Marebela. You need to stop, but of course I do the opposite.

"Not that I feel that way towards you because I definitely don't. But, the point is that I made it to pay you back for everything you've done for me," I finally end my rambling and all I felt was embarrassment.

He already put the bracelet on in the middle of my ranting. He didn't say anything back. The air was stiff and I knew he felt uncomfortable. That was not what I was trying to do.

"No, don't think I'm weird or acting like a child because I made a kid thing. It's because the girls wanted to make them so I just made one to show them how and that's how you ended up with yours," I lied. He knew damn well that I purposely made for him. If he knew I was lying he did a good job at hiding it.

Then again, he was good at hiding his emotions behind a blank stare.

I continued talking to fill the empty silence. "Anyways, do you like it? I hope you like it. It didn't take too long, but I tried moving as fast as I could—"

"I like it," he said to shut me up.

"Really?"

"Yes."

Did I hear that right? I think that was the first time I heard him say something nice.

I smiled. "You're welcome, Sunshine."

"What?" he narrowed his eyes at me. He already wanted to take back what he said.

"You're nickname is Sunshine because you're just so happy and bright," I explained, sarcastically.

When he didn't react, I quickly asked, "Do you want me to put it on for you?"

But it seemed he already wrapped the bracelet around his wrist and tied it in a perfect knot. I didn't know how he could do it so easily by himself.

He replied shortly, "I'm good."

I was still in shock.

Nathaniel

I never noticed it before but she looked more different than when I first met her. I was into women not innocent looking girls with pigtails. Except right now, her body looked like heaven. I've noticed the shape of her perky breasts through her baggy shirt. I've started to worship the curve of her waist and the movement of her hips.

She was sexy. I wanted her to be mine.

She had a sparkling gleam in her eyes every time she got excited about something.

I know I should treat her better. I should treat everyone better, but I have noticed how I always go out of my way to do small things for her.

She deserved someone who did those and more.

Fuck, man, I couldn't have these thoughts about a women. It will fuck me up. I needed to get my head out of the gutter.

I could tell she was feeling the same way because her cheeks were red and she tried to read my face to see if I noticed what she was thinking.

She wasn't so innocent as I thought.

She smiled at me and I wanted to take her right then and there.

I know I shouldn't but I couldn't seem to stop myself.

"I'm happy you like it," she said. "Also, I forgot to tell you, but I got a job."

What! Why the fuck would she do that?

"It's at a bookstore and the old man who owns it is so friendly," she explained. "He said I could start tomorrow and I didn't even have to answer lots of questions. He just gave me the job just like that since there were not a lot of people who wanted to work there. I feel bad about that, but at least I'm there now. Now I'll be able to pay you back everything I owe you."

She rambled for what felt like ages. I wanted to shut her up.

"Sorry," she apologized. "I think I may have overshared a bit. I know you didn't need to know all that."

I needed her to shut up.

She looked up at me and I felt my dick twitch. God, I needed a kiss at least. I didn't care if I was being greedy and she needed someone better.

I could be better for her.

I needed to be better for her if I wanted to do this because I knew she was the relationship, hopeless romantic type.

And that wasn't my type, until now. Until I realized how tempting she was and how tempted I was to have her.

I leaned down to her and placed my lips against hers.
