Took My Breath Away

Chpt. 10 ~ Mixed Feelings

Kate's POV ~

I took a step out of the class, I was determined to figure out who sent me that note. All through class I felt Jake's eyes bore into the back of my head. I couldn't blame him after the way things left off over the weekend. You should talk to him. It wasn't time yet... Well it didn't feel right but anyways I need to find this person first. I quickly walked and walked until I found myself in front of the REC room as the note had so kindly asked me to be at. There was only one other person exactly in front of it, his back was turned to the side. I tapped his shoulder and he turned around his eyes glowed and widened. I stared at him....he looked so familiar. " Kate" he said with a husky voice. Oh my gosh. Memories rushed back to the night of the party. I stepped backwards" You bloody stay away from me" I said not very confidently. I kept backing up as he moved forward until I hit a wall. I looked down.

"Kate, please let me talk" he spoke with endearing eyes. As he spoke his voice became lower and he looked at me with sincerity.

"Alright... Talk." I muffled out. His lips were close to my face and so it began for him to explain why he wanted to talk to me.

A few minutes later , while he was talking I could feel a familiar pair of blue eyes stare at me. Granted a lot of people were doing that, do to the weird way I was on the wall but...these pair of eyes I knew. They were looking into my soul. I turned my head and locked eyes with Jake. He looked dumbfounded. I gave him a pleading look as he pushed his way over to me. " KATE WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH TYLER" he yelled over the noise. I gulped knowing, there'd be a lot of explaining. " You know he practically raped you at the party? You know I basically saved you? So please do tell me why you actually would be talking to him." He spoke with anger. " Dude chill" Tyler said.
"Don't bloody tell me anything, you're sick" He accusingly said.
"Seriously stop, let's talk this out okay?" I intervened.

" Tyler sent me a note saying he wanted to talk to me and turns out he wanted to apologize for his behavior" I tenderly said.

" I was drunk and wasn't thinking"
" Oh sure" Jake spat out.
" Jake" I spoke with a serious tone.
They both are wankers I thought.
I looked at them with pleading eyes, but decided it was better if I just head to my next classes. I walked off completely aware they were staring at me still. I glanced back and for a moment felt warmth in Jake's eyes.

My phone vibrated and I checked to see my messages. 2 from Jake...I'll check them later... Quite a number from other people and then 3 from Blake. Blake, yes he was who I needed to talk to.

Blake: Hey Kate, I heard what happened. Everything alright?

Blake: Do you need me to come over?

Blake: You hungry at all madame?

Me: alright I'm not sure what you heard but we can talk about that over dinner.

Blake: I know this great Italian restaurant!

Me: Ace! It's settled then, pick me up in 20?

Blake: Anything for you

I stared at his words...if only it was Jake saying that...

I found a gorgeous white frill dress. I added some black flats and pulled my hair into a bun. I mustn't think of that boy who preoccupies my mind and thoughts of our what seems to be... a dim relationship. Whilst waiting for Blake I just thought long and hard about everything.
I made a cock up...and I needed to fix it.
A ring of the doorbell, ended my thoughts abruptly.
"Don't you look dashing" I said with a smirk playing on my lips.
I followed him out, not forgetting to lock the door since my parents weren't home often.

I stepped into " Gino's ". A fit young man looked me up and down before turning a shade of crimson as I had caught him. "Can you please find us a seat and not check her out?" Blake said rather rudely. The boy looked our age and only gave a wry smile, " Right this way".

Right as I sat down, I heard an extremely faint flashing noise.
Oh my gosh no
I turned my head to the direction the sounds were coming from and sure enough I saw some paparazzi hiding out behind the windows. I ignored them, they'll be there my whole life and I'm sure Blake and I will be getting a lovely front page of a magazine dedicated to us. Gosh why'd they have to be so nosy...... They just get me so gutted sometimes.

The night went by smoothly and sweet. Spending time with my best friend always warmed my heart.
As I stepped out of the car I said cheers to Blake and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. I felt his skin heat up under me. I quickly turned around and didn't give it more thought, I headed straight to my bed. It was best I rest my mind.

A/N Loves! I am so sorry it took this long to get you the next bloody chapter. Things these past weeks have been hustled and crammed. I'm so very sorry, I hope you wonderful people have somebody to cuddle up with this Valentine's Day. My short story will be coming out soon. Make sure to have a look into the that. Otherwise, have a great rest of your day!!❤
