Beautiful Sin [ ON HOLD ]

Chapter 12.

I suddenly felt confident knowing that my plan was coming together. She allowed me to go to church , she gave me her blessings and with just enough effort, I was sure that our newly found relationship will bloom for as long as I kept this façade of mine.

Snuggled deeply inside the covers, my mind shifted from images of her smiling to her laughing , flashing perfectly white teeth in the process. Does she know her beautiful she is? I mean, she wasn't my type at all, our differences stood out reclusively , much to my disappointment , but damn! I have never seen anyone who portrays innocence in a rather raunchy way like she did. Or maybe am just exaggerating ?

I had to see where our 'friendship' would take us. I had to explore the possibilities all while keeping it all innocent. The way she acted when I complimented on her chastity, holding herself back... I wish she'd just surrender herself , just one time , take some time to try and give love to her body. Feed it , just a little taste...But she wouldn't. All these walls she'd built around her in the name of religion and consecration. If only .

Next day, I took all the courage in me and approached her while talking with a red head girl after Psychology lecture ended. Just her, standing in the hallway, books clutched against her chest , completely engrossed in whatever it was that they were talking about. Her mouth stopped mid sentence the moment I made my presence known and she tried to hide her disapproval behind a fake smile.

" This is a bad time," She tried to shoo me but I wouldn't make it easy on her. I said I would hang out with her at school ,I intended to do just that ,no matter how many daggers she chooses to shoot my way.

" You're not getting rid of me this easy , Teresa,"

" Right, " She gave me a stern look before facing the subdued red head she was previously engaged in conversation with. " Should we meet after lunch, behind the library?"

" Er, yes, perfect. I'll see you there, I guess," She said before facing me, look of terror in her eyes as if i was the grim reaper before dashing away, leaving me with just the ever agitated Teresa.

" This wasn't part of the deal," She gave a sharp stare.

" I didn't know there was a deal,"

"Levi," She called , anger dripping in her tone. " This. Wasn't. Part .Of. The. Deal!"

" You can keep pushing away but as I said, I want to hang with you,"

" We have nothing in common, what could we possibly benefit from all this? Even if I said yes, I won't be that much fun anyway,"

" I'm not looking for fun," I smiled wryly at her judgment.

" I spend most of my time in the convent-"

"I don't care,"

I was determined to make this work, as uncanny as it looks, me being a rebellious guy with a not so colorless reputation rubbing elbows with this , girl with a spotless record . The desperation, I wondered if she would ever warm up to me. She was probably right about the whole her not being much fun, her routine seemed bland but her strong opinions on certain matters proved intriguing. Sure it would probably take ages before she gets comfortable around me, I have to at least put my best foot forward and make it a little less impossible for us. I had to show that I got what it takes to be in her company.

" This is ridiculous,"

" Maybe , but I really don't care ,"

" You know you can try to draw me out indefinitely but I won't barge. I won't let you get in my head ,"

" Am not trying to get into your head, you are just overthinking this ,"

"What if...." She hesitated, biting her lip as she darted edgy glances around the hall that streamed with various students , all going about in their business.
