Lovers But Not Lovers

Chapter 3- The night before the game

****Desiree's POV****
Salvatore's nickname among his friends were Sal. Hmm nice.

I sat in class remembering what happened in the canteen. Was he leaning in to kiss me?. Nevermind, we are best friend and in the best friend world, there is no such thing as kissing your bestie, right?.

I sat in class of oral English and if I tell you I'm interested, I'm lying. This is one ofy worst classes, history and economics topping the list.

I watched the wall clock on the classroom and was elated that today the earth knew that I yearned to go home so it made the time fly.

Wait. He said he would drop me. Nooo. Now I don't want school to close yet.
I watched the time, it hurriedly entered 3:30. Then the bell rang.

After the bell rang, all my classmates exited the class and I sat there hoping to stall till Salvatore leaves.

After thirty minutes I walked out of the class and out of the school building. I used the back to exist, so I would easily sneak away.

"Trying to run from me". I heard Salvatore say. I had just come out of the school building.

I turned and I saw him in his fitted ripped jeans and black shirt, leaning against his black Audi A4.

I threw my head up and as I brought it down I saw him smiling, exposing his longer-than-usual canines.

"Fine. You caught me". I said as threw my hands up in surrender and headed for the passenger's door.
I got in without even waiting for him to open the door.

"So, do you have a boyfriend?". He asked trying to initiate a conversation after driving for about 30 minutes in silence.
I looked over to him" No".

He raised his left brow up and asked "Really?".
"Yeah". I said.
I think he was in bafflement.

After that we went back to silence, surprising fact is that it wasn't an uncomfortable silence.

It took him an hour to get to my house. Once we reached, I saw my sister coming out from a friend's car.

Salvatore packed just beside the car. As my sister's eyes met his, she instantly looked at me and gave me that 'he is hot' eyes. I just rolled my eyes and told her 'not my boyfriend', using our sign language.

She got out of the car bid her friend who I remembered who was Sara. As Sara drove away, Salvatore turned his attention to me as he had been looking between my sister and I.

"Sign language, huh?". He said amused.
"What?. No". I said trying to cover up, I didn't want him to ask any details because it would be awkward.

"Your sister is hot". He said, checking my sister out from the porch she was standing.
"Excuse me?". I asked.
"Yeah. She's hot. How old is she?". He asked, giving me that flirty smile.
"How old are you?". I asked instead.
"19. She?". He asked, having hope and affirmation that they would be the same age.
"She's 19. But no number".
"Awwn. Someone's jealous the sis will get her bestie's heart and attention". He said smirking.
I just groaned openly and said "Goodnight Salvatore". I said as I got out of the car.
As I got out I heard him laughing. I rolled my eyes and walked over to my sister.

As I walked over and stood besidey sister I saw him waving his goodbye, thinking it was for me I waved back but then I realized that my sister was waving then it dawned on me that he wasn't waving at me.

FLIRT.

I walked into the house, Willers followed me. I headed to my room and showered, I got dressed in a baggy old polo shirt.

I walked down stairs I saw Willers there already changed into a baggy short and singlet without bra.

As I walked to the fridge to get a chocolate shake and then the conversation started.
"Who is he?". Willers asked, wiggling her brows.
I rolled my eyes, "He is my best friend. Nothing else".

She just hummed. "Huh. Today I got a new boyfriend".
"Oh really?". I asked glad she was changing the topic.

"He's hot".
"I'm sorry, who?". I asked as I sat on the kitchen island.
"You know. Thee guy who dropped you".
"Oh my god. Are you serious?".

She laughed. She held my shoulders and asked me" Do you love him so much?".
"Excuse me. He is my bestie. Nothing else". I said in defense.

As soon as I said so, my phone ding. I took it and opened it. It was a message from none other than the devil.
Salvatore Venoz.

Salvatore: Remember the game tomorrow .
Desiree: Sure. I remember. Thanks for the information.

Salvatore: Anytime love 😘😘😘.

I closed my phone and saw my sister looking at me with those 'im suspecting you' eyes.

I rolled my eyes and told her that he just reminded me of the game that's all.
She nodded and went upstairs. As soon as she went upstairs my dad's car was heard.

"Willers". I shouted her name.
Isaw her running downstairs "I heard".

We opened the door, got the things my mother brought and at that time it was 6pm.

My parents and siblings got freshened up while my sister and I did dinner. At 9pm all of us retired to bed.

As I got upstairs, my phone dinged again. I opened it and saw a message from Salvatore.

Salvatore: Hey, you asleep yet?.

Desiree: Not yet.

Salvatore: I want you to really come to the game tomorrow.

Desiree: I remember.😐😐.

Salvatore:😀😀😀. Just playing with you love 😘😘. Goodnight 💞💞.

After that I turned off my phone thinking on how tomorrow's game will be like, and I then entered the deep land of sleep.

Hopefully, tomorrow won't be so bad. I hope so anyways.

He would definitely be busy with his friends he will not have time for me. Just go to the game and have a good time, I said to myself before really dosing off to the land of sleep and dreams.
