Against All Odds (spin-off of The Three Queen Bees and Me)

Chapter 43- Kiss Me like You Want to be Loved

   "If you don't like me why do you keep cutting in with Sebastian and me?" I ask baffled as Fiona opens her mouth to add something then decides against it.

    "I'm waiting." I demand Fiona takes a deep breath and opens her mouth.

   "You're not hearing me. I don't like you— I'm in love with you." Fiona confesses as the world seems to get a whole lot slower. The word love keeps repeating over and over in my head like a record on replay.

   "Love?" I ask stupidly like I didn't know the meaning of the word.

   Instead of repeating her self Fiona lifts me up on one of the student desk and kisses the hell out of me.

    "If words won't convey my love for you maybe this will." Fiona seriously says her hand traveling up my leg where my pants button is.

    I have no words instead I lean back into her letting her smother me with her affection.

    Her lips are locked on mine as my hands start exploring the curves of her body.

   That is until a little voice called my conscious starts tell me this isn't the right time or place.

   "F..Fiona." I say her name while gasping for air breaking our kiss.

   "What is it?" Fiona worryingly asks placing her hand on the side of my face lovingly,

   "What about your engagement?" I ask ruining the mood. Fiona rolls her emerald eyes at me.

  "Really, I confess my feelings to you and you're still fixated on my possible engagement to someone I never meet?" Fiona asks baffled by me.

   I just cross my arms together leaning against the desk we were making out against just a minute ago.

   "I'm just saying if we are going to become something more we need to sort out some problems." I explain trying to rationalize with her.

    "You want me to talk to my father?" Fiona asks horrified at the aspect of talking to him again after he's abused her.

    "Absolutely not. You're seventeen basically your own woman just meet up with this so called fiancé and reject them." I say to her like it's pretty simple.

    "If that's what it takes to officially make you mine I am willing to do it." Fiona confesses grabs hold of my hands in reassurance.

   "I can't wait." I tell my future girlfriend we both lean into each other sealing the deal with a kiss.

     I lead Fiona back to the dance floor where we danced to a couple more songs until Principle Watson gets on stage to make an announcement.

   "Ladies and gentlemen are you having fun tonight?" He asks trying to sound like one of those rock guys at a concert. He's meet with awkward silence until Mr. Locke shoots daggers at us to cheer him on.

   "It's a honor to announce our very first live band, please welcome The Rejections" He exits the stage clapping like a fan girl would do.

     "Thank you all for having us. This is a very important night for us considering we will be introducing you guys to our new vocalist." A guy with scruffy facial hair says. He's wearing wore out jeans with a plain black shirt. He looks to be about in his early twenties.

     A light bulb goes off in my head. There is no way it couldn't be.

   My worse fear is confirmed when scruffy guy says my name to get on the stage.

   I am doomed.

   How am I possibly their vocalist when I never auditioned for it?

    My hand clams up in Fiona's as she looks at me just as bewildered as I am.
