My Darkest Love

Chapter 3

Kiss me.

The two words that I would've normally regretted saying to a boy but for Malachi it was different. He made me feel some way since we made contact. He had me in a puddle of my own drool. He smashed his lips against mine like a hungry lion tasting his food. He wasted no time on touching me all over. His hands exploring my body like he owned every piece of it. His left hand under my shirt grazing gently over my hard nipples and his right hand leading it's way down south. I was in a trance due to the overpowering urge to keep going like nothing around us mattered. "Luca." It was a breathy moan that sent those butterflies soaring in my stomach. "Luca the bell rang." This time he pulled away, leaving a spit trail from our mouths. My entire face was flushed and my clothes were dishevel. "Wh..What?" I stuttered quietly as I was still trying to come back to reality. 

Malachi smirked and helped me up off the floor. He brushed off my clothes and fixed them so nobody suspected a thing. "Time for class. See you at lunch." He kissed my cheek before setting off; leaving me behind. I gasped, covering my mouth as I finally realized we made out for the whole time. What the hell is going on with me?

I quickly picked up my backpack and left about four minutes after him and rushed to class. Soon enough lunch came around the corner and I was feeling extremely anxious. Not because of your typical where do I even sit in a lunch room full of judgmental teens. But because what if I see Malachi again and he pulled the same stunts from earlier. I took my time and scanned the room and thankfully I didn't see him. I made my way to line and sighed in relief. I was able to get my food which by the way is absolutely gross. It's the same store bough meat that was cold and disgusting. The same tater tots you got as a elementary kid and a cartoon of milk. I managed to snag a pudding cup and chips before the jocks and cheerleaders stole them. Last year, I barely got anything due to them taking all the good food and leaving nothing behind. This year was going to be different. I was going to be head strong and take no shit from anyone. I laughed to myself thinking that. If only I had the courage to do it, but I wasn't like that. I stayed in the shadows and kept to myself most of the time. I decided to watch my every move this year cause I didn't want to mess up and be the laughing stock of tenth grade. 

"Luca! Come sit!" I heard from Miles as he shouted across the room gathering everyone's attention. I groaned and covered my face with my tray as I sat down. "Could you not shout please."

"Sorry bro. Oh you going to the party tonight?" 

"What party?" 

"Michelle's first day of school party. She throws it every year dude."

I took a bite of my food and shook my head. I almost forgot about the pink invitation that was left on my doorstep this morning. "Oh, that party, I don't know. Last year we almost got in trouble with our parents."

Miles was persistent. He always had his way of convincing anyone to do stupid things. "My parents will say no and you know that."

"Not if you stay at my house tonight and we go?"

"I'm not sure."

"Oh come on please. Have I ever let you down?" Why yes he has but I was never going to admit it. "Fine."

Miles cheered and accidently threw his chips all over the table. I groaned again and buried myself into my food to prevent anymore embarrassment. That was until the man of the hour decided to sit beside me and startled my peace. "Hi Luca." I peeked up and sighed. "Hi. Can I help you?"

"Yo you're that new kid right?"

Miles just saved me from having to speak more. 

"Yeah, name is Malachi. Mind if I sit with you guys?"

"Go for it. Plus you got to come to this party tonight. It's off the chains."

Malachi bumped my shoulder and got me to perk up in my seat. "You going?"

"Yup." God I wanted to say no and just go home. 

"Then I'll go."

"Why you acting so weird Luca?" Miles threw his empty milk cartoon at me and I shot him a glare. "It's nothing."

"Also what's with the hickey on your neck?"

"What?!" He pointed at my neck and  panicked. I rushed to the bathroom and stopped in front of the mirror. A big red bite mark was on my left side of my neck. It was so noticeable. Fuck me. 

"You alright?" Malachi had followed me and leaned against the door frame. 

"You left a hickey on me?!"

"You didn't seem to mind it when we messed around. "That's because I was aware of things. You can't just leave hickies on people!"

I turned the faucet on and tried to rinse the redness away but nothing worked. Luckily I had a band aid in my bag. "Just leave me alone."

Malachi walked up to me and brushed my face with his hand. "Don't be mad at me please. I won't do it again."

"We ain't doing anything ever again!"

Malachi ignored my comment and took the band aid from my hand. "Let me."

He opened it up and placed it on the hickey. "You can't be mad at me."

"Fuck off. You don't understand that I can't just go home with this on my neck. MY parents will be suspicious and think I fucked someone."

He smirked and leaned in. "We almost did."

"Screw you."

"You wish you could." My face turned a fine shade of red as he said that. 

He wasted no time in surrounding my body with his. "Malachi you can't keep playing with me. I'm not gay, and I'm sure as hell not into you."

"You keep telling yourself that kid, but when you're ready to admit it; you'll know where to find me."

With that said he left me in the bathroom fighting the battle of hiding my boner once again. 

Fuck! There was no way in hell I was going to admit to him let alone anyone I was gay.
