Lovers But Not Lovers

Chapter 25- I....

***Desiree's POV**
After what happened in Italy I had to remind myself that Sal is my best friend, that is why I didn't let him finger me senseless despite the fact that I was already dripping.

School was just starting but I feel like I have been here for at least six months straight.

I walk to school in a fitted mini jeans skirt and a crop sweater with a white sneakers.

I decided today to just ignore Sal but for some reason I knew I couldn't.

There's a way he looks at me that I love, possessive yet caring.

I walk to my first class of the day, History. I hate this subject but no more than I hate maths.

I sit in my chair and see someone I haven't since in three years. Harden Reis.

He was a Spanish. I swear that I love his accent but damn those eyes kill me everytime.

I make eyes contact with him and he stands to greet me. I smile at him till hee infront if me.

"Miss me much?". He jokes.
"Of course, not. How will I miss someone like you?" I joke also.

He sucks his teeth. " I thought I left a lasting impression". We starr at each and burst out laughing.

I went him and he hugged me and swung my around.

"Hey, buddy. I'm not 12 anymore". I say as he drops me but still hugs me.
"Yeah. I know. It's kinda obvious though". He said, his eyes clearly roaming my body.

"Hey, Willers will go crazy when she sees you. Did they transfer your dad back?". I asked.
"Yeah, for at least six years. That I'm sure of". He said.

Then our teacher entered the class and so did Sal. I'm could feel his eyes on me. About I dare not look at him though.

Anyways, Harden father is a manger of a huge food company. They usually transfer him out of town or the country once a while for onsite work.

Class went by agonizingly slow. But jokes on it. I slept more than halfway through.

After class we had a little break if ten minutes before the next class for grabbing books and all.

I met up with Harden in the hallway. I beam.

"Hey. What's ur next class?".
"Maths. Calculus". He said.

I scrunch my nose up

"Still hate the subject?".
"Nah, I think I hate both. The subject and the topic". I say.

He laugh and that's when I see Sal walking up to us, him and the remaining f4.

"Hey. We got a new student?". Vince ask, after giving me a side hug.
"New. I wouldn't say". I said still looking at Sal, before turning to Vince.

"Hmm". He hummed.
"Wait. I remember you. Harden, right?. Harden Reis". Eduardo said.

"No fuck- freaking way. Bro, you've changed. Damn, I'm sure the body counts must have increased, no?". Harden said, leaving all of us stunned.

They knew each other. No, let me rephrase that they know each other.

WTF??

"Excuse me for the brief break in understanding. But you know each other?". Jackson said.

"Yeah man. Remember the dude I told y'all about that taught me basketball when I was shit at it?. This's the motherfucker". He said doing some bro hug with Harden.

"Waddup man?. Long time".
"Yeah. I know right?". So what happened you just disappeared for three years".

"Ahh. My dad got transferred to the kingdom so yh had to move". He said, keeping things brief.
