 Chapter Twenty-Two : I Asked You To Make Soup Not Babies

 I should have done this sooner. Really, I should have because now that I've started it I just can't stop. Call me a floozy if you will but if you're going out with someone as hot as Cole Stone you wouldn't be able to keep your hands to yourself either.

"We have to go to class soon." I say breathlessly, trying to put some distance between us.

"Don't worry, we won't be late." Cole's lips continue their merciless assault on my neck and I arch my back wanting nothing more than to meld my body to his. This feels incredible; really what on earth have I been doing with my life before. I've had him so close to me for months and I could've been riding this high forever but my thick headedness made me blind to the obvious mind numbing attraction there is between us.

Oh well, better late than never.

It's not the ideal situation, to have barricaded the supply closet but we didn't have another option. The last time we kissed was when Cole picked me up for school and since then we haven't had a moment alone. All day long he's been teasing me, giving me looks that made me want to maul him with my lips. At lunch, he kept a hand on my thigh the entire time and I hadn't been able to swallow a single bite. That's when we'd both made a lame excuse of having to borrow some books from the library and had made a mad dash to find some solitude.

No one bought the excuse, obviously. Alex had even oh so charmingly added his words of wisdom, "Don't forget to wrap it up Stone!" That's what he had yelled for everyone to hear but by that time Cole had almost been deaf to the outside world. Typical boy only had one thing on his mind.

"Cole..."I whine but it comes out as an embarrassing moan. His eyes light up like a Christmas tree as he takes in the obvious effect he has on me. He kisses me again, deep and long until we hear the first bell ring. I untwine my arms from around his neck but he doesn't let go of me. We just stare at each other goofily before another shrill ringing sound destroys the moment. Dang it, we really need to become one of those missionary style schools with no bells, we'd just change classes by the hour.

Cole groans and tugs me by the hand, "Come on Tessie, after school I'm finding a better spot to make out."

I giggle at his obvious frustration but it's thrilling that he's as obsessed with the idea of kissing and well touching in general as I am. The last thing I want is to become some clingy girlfriend who wants to spend all her time holed up in the bedroom.

As appealing as that sounds...

The rest of the day passes similarly. We steal glances and give each other smiles, well I smile at Cole but he winks at me, insinuating something and as usual I blush. I get it now, the hype about being in a relationship. According to Megan who is now our resident relationship expert, I'm in the honeymoon phase and its going to last a while so that's awesome. I never want that kind of high to wear off, it's like smoking pot 24/7 but better. The only damper on the day was seeing Jay and Nicole. Funny how I'd always thought that I'd be so happy when they weren't together anymore. I guess I was suffering for all my ill wishes. Yes, when they'd been a couple I was miserable but now I just wanted to disappear. The looks they'd shoot me, the guilt they wanted me to feel sometimes hinted at the fact that the two really did belong together. Their common goal to make each living moment miserable for me kind of made that apparent. But I'm not letting them get to me, not much that is. I have Cole; I have my friends so it's not particularly bad. Though the thing is, I get why Nicole hates me. Unintentional as it was, my burst of honesty has somehow landed her at the bottom of the food chain. She doesn't have any friends, her minions having abandoned her in search of a new Queen Bee. She sits with her cousin who can't get away from her fast enough, as if unpopularity is contagious. She's still on the dance team but from what I've heard, they've basically made her a pariah. I guess you really can't afford to be dumped by Jay Stone. Jay is just a puzzle and I have no idea how to get all the pieces to fit together. I mean, yes I snubbed his advances but was he really expecting me to come running to him? Please, give me some credit here. He's being an utter tool, giving me the cold shoulder and Cole the stink eye. If I were him, I wouldn't be testing my built step brother's patience-just a little caution would be preferable since he still has the bruises to show for his last confrontation.
