Lovers But Not Lovers

Chapter 18- His request.

***Desiree's POV**
I woke up the next morning feeling very psyched for today but then I remembered.

His request. It's today. Shit.

I didn't want to go to school now. I don't feel like it.

I still managed to drag myself out of bed and get dressed.
Today not having the energy, I decided to be a little laid back. At least no one will notice.

I got dressed in a black summer dress with spaghetti sleeves and some flats, and my dress stopped exactly mid-thigh. I don't wear a sweater as it's kinda hot outside.

I get my school bag and head down stairs. I don't style hair.
We, actually I got to school one hour later to find the devil himself with the rest of the guys.

I just move past. I didn't want to hear his request.

What if he asked for something impossible?

Just as I passed him and was just an inch away from the door, he called.

I was just an inch away. Just an inch.

I froze.

Should I turn and answer him?. No.

I didn't turn back. I just started walking. He called out again and I could hear the annoyance in his voice.

I went to my locker and got out my Spanish book. At least today I had subjects I actually liked.

I headed to class and before I could sit down , I felt a hand grab me and before I realized, the person's lips were on mine.

I was shocked at first and then people started entering the class and started taking pictures.

I then realized the very compromising position I was in. I quickly disengaged.

I looked up to see who had the nerve to kiss me in public. I thought it was Salvatore.

But I was wrong.

"Derek?". I said, practically screaming.

I then realized that he was still holding my waist. Then I looked at the door and saw Sal running in.

I guess he heard. Who knows?. News spread fast.

I looked at his face to see it filled with horror. I quickly pulled out from Derek's hold.

"Sal. I can explain". I said looking at him,as he had looked at me but was focusing on Derek.

Then his eyes shifted to me. It was red. Like full blown red.

"Sal?". I said, starting to get a little scared.

He didn't answer he just left. I looked at Derek with the hardest glare I could muster.

I went after Sal.

I checked everywhere. Classes started by 8 and it was 7:50. So I had ten minutes.

I looked for him everywhere.

Where could he be?. I thought to myself.

Basketball court.

I ran there and saw him seated on one of the bleachers.
I walked towards him. I know he wanted me to come, if he didn't, the doors won't be open.

"Hey". I said as I stood close to him.

He stood up and walked past me without saying anything.

I followed him and I pulled him to face me before he reached the door. We were in the center of the court.

"Look.." I said.

"No. I don't want to hear it". He said looking at me. Dead in the eye.

I felt defeated. I felt like I hurt him, so I was hurt as well.

"Sal. It's not what you think". I said l. Pretty dumb line.

What do I think he thinks?.

"Of course, it's not what I think. Des, what is your problem?. If you want to date him tell me than me hearing it from someone else". He said and ran a hand through his black perm hair.

It was all round his hair and the sides just came out a little longer. It sort of gave off the Taehyung vibe.

I looked at his eyes and bit my lower lip and his eyes followed.

"I don't want to date him. I told you that. He kissed me and I didn't kiss back. C'mon Sal, if I wanted to date him, I would tell you. Please don't mad?". I said, under one breath.

I saw his eyes soften a bit.

"I called you this morning, you heard and you ignored". He said smirking and kind of smiling at the same time.

I got my best friend back.

"I wasn't ready for your request". I told him honestly, pulling my lips together.

He came close to me, covering the space between. He held my waist and held my chin as well.

"Why?" He said, looking at me. Lips few inch from me.

"I was just trying to be on a safe side". I said , biting my lower lip.

"And how is that turning out?" He said smirking.

"Good?".

"Of course. Now I present my request". He said and by breath got stuck in my throat.

"No...now?". I said clearly stuttering.

"Yes. My birthday request is that I fuck you". He said with a serious expression.

"What?. You want...you want me for sex?. Seriously?. So I'm all sex?. No wonder, you want to be the first to taste it before Derek, right?. That's why you're so mad!". I said, angry.

He looked at me trying to force a smile away.

"Nice outburst, princess". He said, after failing miserably to hide his smile and letting it show.

"Excuse me?". I asked, my chest still heaving up and down due to anger.

"Listen, princess. I don't want to just fick you. I mean you're my best friend. I was only playing around". He said, trying to stifle a laugh.

"What?". I asked. Not angry though just surprised.

"C'mon. How would I want to just fuck like it some kind of quickie I'm trying to experience". He said, turning serious.

I felt butterflies in my tummy. Did he really want to not have a quick sex sesh with me?. Wait, does he really want to fuck me?

"Listen, my request for my birthday is that I want you to come some where with me". He said, bringing me out of though land.

"Where?". I asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"Italy".
