We met in September

CHAPTER 18

November

Elise

We have been kissing alot. At the abandoned place, at a corner of the school, while walking home.
On my lips, on my neck while I sit on his lap and his hands are on my thighs.

He gave me a hickey yesterday, near my collar bone so it doesn't shows.
I pull up my shirt looking at my reflection on the mirror, hiding the hickey and wear a white cardigan.

I walk down the stairs and hear my mother coughing, she's been sick these past week and dad's been out alot.

I slowly step out the house and close the door behind me.

I rest my back on the door and sigh. I am so tired, my head feels so heavy, it's like this house is slowly killing me or maybe I am dead already.
Nothing ever feels like home here.

This house suffocates me.

Just one more year, one more year and I am out of here.

*˚＊＊*

"We shouldn't be skipping so much" I say and he looks at me smiling then slowly leans in pressing his lips on mine, making me smile.

"If I get to eat tasty food made with beautiful hands like this" He says, taking another bite of the chocolate cupcake in my hand.

"I don't mind getting called by the principal even a thousand times" He leans in taking another bite, eating the whole cupcake while I laugh.

"This should be the last time" I say licking the chocolate on my thumb, "tell me you won't skip again from tomorrow" I look at the chocolate all over my fingers then at him again.
"Exams are near and you need proper attendance"

"Okay don't scold me" He says, still looking at me, chewing the cake in his mouth.

"I am not scolding you" I chuckle.

"Go straight to school instead of texting me to come here in this abandoned place" I say, smiling a bit while he keeps looking at me, focused.
His eyes slowly go down then he gently holds my wrist, the hand that's covered in chocolate "Let me finish eating" his voice sounds so deep and husky like he just woke up from his sleep.

He lifts my hand up and takes it near his lips.

My eyes almost go wide, my mouth open but then closes again. I am completely froze sitting here while he puts my fingers inside his mouth one by one and licks the chocolate.

His tongue touching my fingers, sucking the chocolate off.

He puts my another finger in and looks at me, directly into my eyes making me look away.

"Mmm I think your hands added extra sweetness" I hear him say while my eyes are still not looking at him.

"You look so cute when you're shy" I look up when he says this and I find him smiling at me with his head tilted to the side.

His hand still around my wrist.

"You always look cute" he says and gently lets go of my wrist.

He keeps smiling then straightens up, sitting straight looking at the pool. He looks at me again, still smiling then taps on his lap twice with both his hands.
I look away from his hands and instantly look at him knowing exactly what he means.

"Come here pretty" he says stretching his hand towards me, still with that smile.

I keep looking at him then slowly get up, walking towards him.
His eyes keep following me, not looking away from me even for a second.
