Beautiful Sin [ ON HOLD ]

Chapter 22

I was bewildered with anxiety as I searched far and beyond for Gemma. In a school occupied with jungle of concrete and an ocean of all kinds of people, this task seemed unfeasible . The atmosphere was coated with noise , everyone talked , feet shuffled , laughter roared from unseen corners , and still , I couldn't locate Gemma. I wise option would pertain me calling her , if only I had taken her number. We were had acted so awkward this morning, the burned eggs , the nakedness hidden behind her apron and she couldn't seem to relax as she sat beside me as we ate in a rather uncomfortable silence. Each stolen glance I made at her made me blush and horny. She hadn't worn her clothes even after , the teasing peek of her side boob wrecking havoc in my head.

I practically dashed out of her doors once breakfast was done and had exchanged some few uneasy words , and an awkward high five. And still after this , I practically lied to Violet about me seeing Gemma. Which is why I was rushing through crowded halls , trying to look for her , peeking inside almost empty classes for the familiar face.

" Levi," A new voice drew me to their direction and my stomach lurched at who it was.

Tanya .

With a pink binder clutched against her bosom, she stood almost a feet away  , her face neutral and void of any fathomable emotion. The world seemed to pause for a moment as we shared unreadable stares . The noise blurred into the background and all I could hear was the sound of my heart beating.

Tanya looked different, not like the same Tanya that I knew. Her hair was fixed into a neat pony tail and she wore less make up than she usually does. A hint of nude lipstick and a light shade of eye mascara was all I could detect.

" Um..." I didn't know what words to say as I focused on how different and awkward this was. I'd expected her to still put up a fight but she was oddly calm.

" You look good today," was my open remark as I gestured at her sundress. She didn't smile or anything, just faced down at her feet that were saddled in black flats.

" Can we talk?" That sentence made my stomach twist. That question never ends well for anyone. What could we possibly talk about? I recall promising her that I'd reach out after the steam had settled between us but that again was just my pathetic attempt of an empty promise. I thought she'd have come down to her senses and discarded her idea of us settling down . I thought she'd have reverted back to our no strings attached sex but it didn't seem that way. She looked judicial as she scanned my perturbed face in a long scrutiny.

" Right now?" I questioned, darting glances around in hopes of finding something to distract myself.

" Any time,when you're free," she shrugged.

" And what's the talk about?" I hesitantly fed her my gaze, wishing I'd never gotten myself tangled with her in the first place. Maybe Gemma would have a possible remedy for this. A nice, slow, intensely pleasurable fuck ,to say the least. My mission was to find her afterwards.

" Just some stuff," She was as vague as they come. She didn't give me an insight on what we two were to talk about.

" Does this have something to do with what happened the other night?" I narrowed my eyes at her, concern pooling my face.

Fiddling with her bracelet, Tanya bit her lip, and smiled at the floor much to my perplexity.

" I'm over that," She was? " I just wanted to talk to you about some of the clothes I left at your place and some of yours at mines. "

" Oh," an exclaim. " what about them?"

" I think, since we're no longer.... sleeping together, I might as well move on? Take some of my clothes back and I send yours to your place,"
