Me 'n' you

part6: Drawn to him

    I got to school on Monday pushing every thought of Jacob behind me, i was moving to my next class when the principal called for my attention. I got to his office minutes later.
"Elisabeth",
"Good day sir, you requested to see me", i greeted, there was a guy in the office.
"I need you to give our newest students a look around the school, if you please", Mr Miller gestured at the guy beside me, i looked to take a clearer view, it was the guy at the restaurant the other day.
"Hey, I'm Liam Foster", he introduced himself smirking, i gave a light smile in return.
"He is on a transfer from Falcon high in Texas, so please do well to treat him nice", the principal gave a warming smile.
"Of course", i manage said as we left the office.
"So princess, where is our first stop?", he gave a cocky tone.
"First of all, you'll call me by my name", i cleared.
"Which is?", he asked as we walked down the hall.
"Elisabeth... princess, whats the difference?", he smirked, i blinked twice. This guy was beginning to get on my nerves, i only ignored him. As soon as the tour started it ended.
"So that is most of it, your locker is down the hall to your right", i just wanted to get rid of him and go to my chemistry class.
"Is that all? That was quick", he gave a dull face.
"I know right...", i gave a fake smile. "...well if there is nothing else, I'll be on my way to my class", i was about to take my leave.
"Okay one more thing, i have a chemistry class right now, when can i find it, you seem to have skipped that from our tour",
"Oh shit", i muttered.
   Liam was literally everywhere i was, we had almost all our classes together. And now we were at the cafeteria together, his presence was frustrating.
"Why are we so far from the rest?", he asked, did i forget to mention that he talks too much?
"Peace of mind", i replied. Taking a bite of my apple.
"So what of your boyfriend?", he asked, i glared at him.
"He is not my boyfriend...and he is absent from school", i replied.
"So that means i can actually get a shot with you", he came out.
"Excuse me?", i almost choked.
"Yeah, i mean you're beautiful and single, so am i, we could really work out", i want to believe he was joking so i laughed.
"Okay, you are unbelievable", i manage to say in between my throat.
"I'm flattered", he joked.
"Are you always like this?", i asked.
"Actually...Texas was not all that fun", he answered.
"Really? Why were you transferred?", i was curious.
"It's a long story but the short is, i got bored and decided to leave my dad and come stay with my mum", he said with a different tone, so his parents were divorced. The atmosphere was awkward.
"So how is new york? The big city! I have always wanted to come here you know", he smiled genuinely.
"Here is nice nothing really much...good food tho", i smiled. We continued to have a reasonable conversation. He had a ginger brown eyes and a dark brown hair, i took in his look. He wasn't all that bad, he had a broad shoulders stood firm under his leather jacket, i noticed he had a tattoo on his neck but i couldn't make out the drawing. As hard as it was, i had to admit he was handsome.
"Hey, new guy", Bella and her park of minions walked up to us, taking Liam's attention.
"Yeah",
"I'm Bella", she brought forth her hand for a shake.
"Liam, nice to meet you", they shook
"Nice Jacket", Bella commented.
"Mason brusier leather, got it from Texas", he said. With i cocky tone.
"You are from Texas?", the slut was now seating on the table revealing her attractive legs. I couldn't stand it, and it looked like Liam was really getting into the conversation so i just snuck away, atleast i won't be seeing him for the rest of the day.

   The day was over, i was waiting outside for Ethan to pick me up, he was running late and my phone was dead, my legs were beginning to ache when Liam walked up to me.
"Hey, princess", he said
"Stop calling me that", i protested.
"Anything you want, princess", he smirked, I eyed him but didn't push it.
"What do you want? Liam", i asked
"Just wanted to know why you were here alone", he actually looked concerned.
"It's nothing, I'm just waiting for my brother, he was supposed to pick me up thirty minutes ago", i expained, looking at the time on my wrist watch.
"Okay then why don't i wait with you", he suggested.
I'll rather hang myself, "no thanks, i was just about to get a cab anyways", i said.
"Why don't i give you ride instead?", he asked politely. I looked behind behind him there was a black yamaha MT-09.
   It was really nice of him and all, but these days, i have learn to limit the people i trust."Uhh thanks, but i'll just take a taxi", i gave a quick smile and was about to leave.
"Oh c'mon princess, there is no harm getting a ride from a friend", he said. A friend? I was going to choke. "...what aren't we friends?", he asked.
I honestly didn't think of him as a friend but we did have lunch together.
"Uhm...i guess", i manage to say.
"Then c'mon...", he brought forth his hand expecting me to take it, i looked the other direction, it was late and the school was deserted.
I signed "fine" i said walking towards the bike. He handed me his helmet. As we got on the bike.
"Hold tight", he ordered. I did as i was told wrapping my hands around his waist. Then leaned closer, i inhaled his masculine scent then smiled for no reason.
   It was a short ride, i got home to find  Jacob at my porch. We shared an eye contact, my heart skipped a beat. I hate it when he does that to me, i deflected my look.
"Thanks Liam, i really appreciate", i returned his helmet back.
"Anytime princess", then he rode off right after i noticed the glare he gave Jacob. I signed then walked to my porch.
"Who was that?", Jacob said with a harsh tone that was definitely mixed with jealousy.
"A friend", i stood in front of him folding my arms.
"A friend?", he asked a bit surprised.
"What? You think I'm not capable of having a friend?", i shot out
"No, i didn't mean it that way," he said, i rose an eye brow. "...i have never seen him around you and i don't like him", i gulped. Was he really jealousy or was he just being considerate?
"He is a friend nothing more", i assured him. Why was i assuring him? I stepped into my house. "...what are you doing here", i asked not forgetting the last time we spoke.
"I came to talk to you", he said about to walk in but i stopped him.
"You can do that outside", i was really pissed at him.
"Liz... please", i looked at his eyes it was difficult.
"Five minutes", i let him in.
"Look, i know you are mad out me...",
"You think?", i interrupted him, what a terrible way to start an apology.
"I'm sorry, i shouldn't have blatant out at you like that, it was wrong of me to say those words to you and i promise you, i didn't mean them", he apologised but it wasn't just about the apology.
"Jacob it's not just about being sorry, you have secrets i get it and it's your choice if you want to let me know or not. But if you can't trust me with this one thing then how are you going to trust me with anything at all?", i asked,
   He was silent, i wanted to just know more of him and i hate it when he pushes me away. Why can't he just open up to me for God's sake.
"Elisabeth, you won't understand", he said still barely maintaining an eye contact.
"Then make me, make me understand you", i took a step forward, i placed my palm on his face. His body tensed up. "...Talk to me, Jay",
He signed. "My mom is dead", he said, i didn't know how to react cause i wasn't expecting it. "She died of aortic disease when i was seventeen" he said with bitterness in his heart.
"Oh my God, Jay... i so sorry, i should have known", if i had known i wouldn't have asked him to talk about it.
"It's cool, you are right i should let you know",
"What of your dad?", i had to know.
"He left when i was sixteen, he knew my mom was dying but he left anyways, and i have hated him ever since", Jacob said. I felt sad for him but the last thing he needed was my pity.
"I'm sorry, no one deserves to have an asshole as a dad", i said. He let a little smile then i pulled him in for a hug, it was passionate, he held me so tight like he was never going to let go. It was the first time we were this close.I took in his signature scent.
"I'm so sorry that i pushed you away", i barely heard him say.
"Shhhh...I'm here now and im not going anywhere", i said.
"Promise?", he asked as we shared a look.
"Promise", i stared into his eyes, his gaze moved to my lip, the gap between us was closing in, his eyes were fixed on me. I was drawn to him, i felt my heart rate increased, my grip on him tighten. Our faces were few inches apart, it felt like time stopped.
