Don't Let Me Go (Book 1)

Chapter 21

MARIA'S POV

          I was heading for the restroom after Music class. After the class which ended a few seconds ago, I concluded that I hate pianos and decided that I would try something else next Saturday. I took a left turn and bumped into someone, and that familiar scent hit me. Logan, Fuck. I lifted my head to look at him and He looked like he would explode any second. The smile I was carrying instantly dropped, his presence ruined my mood '' Sorry, Excuse me '' I said, about to go around him but he caught my arm and pulled me back.

    '' What is funny?'' he asked.

    '' Pardon?'' not getting where the question was generated from.

    '' What was so funny that got you smiling a few seconds ago '' I smelt the anger in his tone, but something told me that I was not the reason for his anger.

    '' I don't see how that concerns you?'' my words came out like a question. I forced my arm off his grip.

    '' Since when are you close with Gorge ''

    '' Excuse me''

    '' Are you two friends?'' Curiosity in his gaze

    '' Logan.... I don't think we have any relationship, for you to ask me anything'' Our gaze met  '' Excuse me '' he caught my arm before I could make any move

    '' Where the fuck are you going? I am still talking ''

    '' Logan, For heaven's sake, let me go... I have another class in a few seconds, whatever this is can wait ''

    '' You didn't answer my question ''

    '' That wasn't a question'' trying to free my arm from his grip but it was a pointless effort. '' that is sticking your nose in my business. That which you have no right ''

    '' Maria... You are still not getting... You are in my territory, which means, whatever you do is my business. So when I ask a question, I get answers ''

    '' Then ask reasonable questions worth my time '' I finally free my arm. I looked away from him, to my arm. Thank goodness the spot he held wasn't buried'' Look Logan '' Our gaze meets once again '' This is the one time I am going to say this. This is your territory and I have no interest in whatever you do with it.... I have no interest in you or your friends.... There is a very big gap between us, a line that I have no interest in crossing but you, You Logan keep crossing that line and invading my space which I do not appreciate. You already went too far Yesterday when you Kissed me and Got me fired. Please let this end here. '' I said  '' You are the King of this school, it is not something to debate on.... So how about you remain in your Space and rule while I remain in my mind and survive until graduation '' I fashed a smile '' Thank you '' I saw the confusion or was it shock? in his eyes. He probably wasn't expecting that much from me but I hope he gets the message

    '' I admire your guts, Maria ''

    '' Thank you '' with that I walk past him, wanting to get to the restroom quickly before the bell rings

    '' Maria!! '' He called, causing me to stop at my track. ''it's a good thing you remembered our Kiss last night '' Hearing those words, I felt an annoying pain in my chest, like fire burning within, with just a little trigger for it to explode but as always, I kept my cool. I can't let my emotions get the best of me. It is not worth it anyway. I heard his footsteps approaching '' it only means that you enjoyed it '' what the fuck did he just say? Is that what he thinks? The old me would have reacted and tried to defend myself. That was before I found that it was only a childish act that would only cause me more trouble. His footsteps grew closer. Suddenly, warmth covered me, his scent grew stronger and his warm breath hit my neck

    '' haa '' I let out in shock as the sudden heat, hit my skin. Why the fuck was he this close?

    '' You know?... about your job '' he began. For a high school kid, his voice was quite Bass. '' I did you a favour by getting you out of there ''

    '' What? ''  Speechless and about to step away from him and turn around so I could face him. But he caught my shoulder, keeping me in that position.

    '' You see Maria... that is not a place for an innocent young girl like you '' he whispered in my ear. I hate this dude '' but.. if you still need a job, considering how poor you are.... you can stop being a little bitch, and beg me ''

    '' …. Beg you ?'' I repeated

    '' Yes '' in a much lower tone. I took a deep breath, trying to compose myself, though it was becoming impossible. He crossed the line twice now and if I don't do something about it. He would do it the third time.

    '' Logan '' I called calmly as I freed myself to turn around. He gave me that smile, that devilish smile and I smiled as well '' Why should I beg you?''

    '' Is that even a question? '' with an eyebrow raised

    '' Logan... '' I took another step closer, covering the little space between us. I place my hands on his shoulder and his smile turned into confusion '' Fuck you '' with that, I swiftly kneed him to the balls
