The Boyfriend List

The Boyfriend List - Chapter 11

A week passed and the 'ignoring Jesse' plan worked. In his class, I tried my best not to make eye contact with him, even though I could feel his green eyes piercing my back. I turned around to look at him and our eyes met. 'Oh crap' I smiled and looked away. WOW, so much for trying NOT to make eye contact with him. I felt like an idiot, why the hell did I smile, I was suppose to be giving him the impression that I was avoiding him. Jesse began teaching, then a student asked him something that hasn't ever crossed my mind. 

"I thought you were a student teacher?" Silvia Sutterman asked.

"I guess I didn't tell this class, but I got the job!" he smiled. Everyone cheered, well except for me. I just sat there and looked at him and all the horny girls in the class get excited. Suddenly my phone virbrated. I said a quick prayer to God, telling him that I didn't want the text to be from Jesse. It was from Drew.

Drew: Hey babe, meet me by the second floor stairs :)

Avery: Ok : ) !

I walked over to Jesse's desk and asked him for a pass to the Nurse. He handed me the pass and I left to meet Drew.

"Hey!" I greeted him. He greeted me by planting a big kiss on my lips. I kissed him back. I wondered why he seems so happy then I remembered today is our 3 month Anniversary. HOW COULD I FORGET!?!? Argh, I have to make up some kind of excuse so he doesn't think I forgot.

"You're extremely happy!" I smiled. He looked at me and smiled.

"Happy Anniversary Baby!" he laughed, he gave me a box from 'Kay Jewelers!' My eyes widened as I opened the box, it was beautiful. A Sea Magic Cultured Akoya Pearl Necklace. He put it around my neck and then kissed me again.

"I Love You Ave!" he said looking into my eyes. Oh my freaking gosh, did he just tell me he 'Loves Me.' When he said it, it reminded me of the time Jesse said it in the Supermarket.

"Love You Too Je-Drew!" I blushed. Did I almost say Jesse's name? What the hell is wrong with me? I cannot let that happen again. I cursed at myself. I guess he didn't hear me almost say Jesse's name because he kissed me again.

"Come over tonight and I'll show you your gift!" I teased, then I walked away. Before I could get very far, he grabbed me around the waist and kissed my neck.

"Mmmmn, I...Ca...n't...W...ait!" He said still kissing on my neck. I pulled away and kissed him on the cheek.

"Sorry babe, but I have to get back to class!" I smiled. When I got back to English class, I walked over to Jesse to give him the pass. I saw him look at me funny, then I remebered that when I left the class I wasn't wearing a necklace. I rolled my eyes and went to my seat.

"Miss Johnson, can I see you outside for a minute?" Jesse stood up and walked out the class. I followed behind as we went to the stairs. 'What do you want now?' I asked the question in my head.

"Did I do something wrong?" I asked, trying to sound innocent. He looked at me and laughed.

"I know you didn't go to the nurse!" he smirked.

"Yeah, I did!" I lied.

"Avery, when you left the class you weren't wearing a Kay Jeweler necklace and if I go up to the nurses office right now and ask her, what'd you think her answer will be?" He had a sly grin on his face. Why does he have to be such an asshole? I wanted to tell him to piss off but I kept my mouth shut.

"Ok, so I went to meet Drew, that dude who you hate!" I smiled. His smile disappeared when I mentioned Drew's name.

"Well you have detention again with me!" his face hardened.

"You just love giving me detention, don't you Mister James?" I whispered. I felt myself blush. He came closer to me.

"Yeah, I actually do enjoy giving you detention Miss Johnson, you're my favorite student didn't you know that?" he laughed. When he said 'student' it made me think. Is that what he thinks of me? As just his student? I backed up and flashed him a fake smile.

"Why are you backing up Pumpkin?" he asked, pulling me closer.

"Mister James, let me go now!" I snapped.

"Make me!" I looked at him and I just wanted to slap him. We were extremely close that whenever he exhales, I can feel it on my head. I looked down at his lips, I was tempted to kiss him. His lips are inviting, I could smell his cologne and minty breath has he began to say something else. I couldn't help it anymore and I knew this is wrong, but I just had to kiss Jesse one last time. I reached up and planted my lips on his and we started kissing. It felt right, but then what I was doing is wrong.

"This feels right!" I whispered.

I let my tongue explore the inside of his mouth and then he took control. The way he kissed made me want him even more.

"Then be with ME Avery!" he stopped kissing me and held me by the waist. I looked into his sad green eyes. I didn't want to make him angry, sad or upset.

"Jesse-" he cut me off before I got to finish.

"Why the hell do you keep messing with me?" he said in an angry tone. He didn't even hear what I had to say, but he chooses to jump to conclusions. I gave him a confused look.

"Don't play dumb with me, you kiss me knowing damn well you have a boyfriend!" he looked at me in disgust.

"Jesse, you didn't even hear what I had to say, you-" he cut me off again and that got me really upset. Before he could speak I spoke.

"Stop cutting me off, it's my turn to talk!" I whisper-shouted. I guess that turned him on because he smiled and pulled me closer to him. "Let me go!" I said wiggling my way out of his tight grip.

"No!" he whispered. 'Stubborn Bastard' I thought to myself.

"Ok, well you probably should get back to class!" I smiled.

"You're right!" When he left I ran up the stairs to Bianca's class. I stood outside the door trying to get her attention for 2 minutes, she finally notices me and asked her teacher to use the bathroom.

"Ave, what's up?" she whispered closing the door behind her.

"I was doing so well, then I screwed up," I started off,"It's like he has this power over me, that makes me want him so badly!" I finished. We were in the bathroom and I was sitting on the sink.

"Are we talking about you know who?" Bianca said checking the stalls to see if anyone was in them.

"Yeah, Jesse!" I sighed.

"What happened?" she asked. I told her the whole story.

"I can't help it, it's like when I'm with him I feel safe like everything is ok!"

"Avery, it's obvious!" Bianca smiled. I gave her that, 'what are you talking about' look.

"You are in love with Jesse, but you're using Drew to cover that up," she said,"You say you like Drew when you really don't, you keep running back to Jesse so that must mean something!" she finished. She's right, I'm in love with Jesse.

And Drews in love with me.

And Drew THINKS I'm in love with him too.

Oh crap.
