The Devastatingly Hot Unattainable New Guy

Chapter Fourteen

The next day as I walked to my locker I couldn't help but think about what to expect from Jayden. We hadn't talked much since we kissed and I wasn't sure if he was going to think we were exclusive now or not. I hoped we would be. I trusted him with my heart, as much as I hated him at first I surely did not feel that way about him now. 

My heart beat fast against my chest, threatening to burst forth onto the ground in front of me. Sweat was forming on my palms and I had to wipe them on my pants several times to clear away the moisture. Why did I have to be so damn nervous? It was just Jayden, I tried to tell myself. No matter what I thought my nerves still didn't settle. I was just about to turn down the hallway that my locker was located when the urge to bolt rushed through me. So I did. I turned and ran... right into Jayden. 

I thought my heart had been beating fast before, now I was having a borderline heart attack. His gorgeous face was starring down into mine and he was smirking because he knew I was nervous as hell. I tried to smile at him and act as if I didn't just turn around and try to run away from where I figured he would be waiting for me. Look how well that plan turned out for me. 

He lifted his hand and stroked my cheek while staring at me intensely. I had a feeling he was trying to make me more nervous, he was the type of guy to love making girls nervous or tense. As I stared back into his emerald green eyes I couldn't help but feel comforted by them, I wanted to be wrapped in his arms. There was only a mere three inches of space between us and that was just too much for me. 

I stepped forward, closing the gap between us and lifted my head slightly so I was still looking into his beautiful eyes. His smirk only widened as he bent his head down to kiss me. It was soft, not rough and desperate as it had been the night before. I enjoyed the gentleness of it because I had never expected Jayden to be the gentle type. It sounds bad but I always pegged him as the rip your clothes off and throw you on his bed type. 

"Hi." He said softly against my lips. I didn't want him to stop kissing me but I could sense people staring at us and assumed he could too.

"Hi." I said back smiling at him. Remind me why I had been nervous again? What was so nerve wracking about this? Nothing at all actually. 

"Did you dream of me last night?" He said cockily pulling his face away from mine and wrapping his arm around my shoulder. I blushed at all the people staring at us, was it really that much of a shock to them? I mean how often did they see us together these days? Wouldn't they have expected this to happen?

"Nope." I said confidently.

I had no idea if I had or not. I rarely remembered my dreams. He led me around the corner that led to my locker and kept his arm firmly around me, guiding me out of the way of people. 

"I think your lying." He whispered to me softly. It sent a chill down my spine which caused him to chuckle slightly. 

"I am not lying." I pouted as we reached my locker.

Amanda and Cali were standing there chatting with Jason and Alex. I wondered when Alex and Amanda would finally just get together and call it a day. They had been going on dates for weeks now but still weren't boyfriend and girlfriend. 

"Don't listen to her Jayden, if she says she isn't lying she probably is." Alex said flashing me a smile to alert me that he was totally kidding. I rolled my eyes and laughed at his stupid joke. I'm not a liar, and if I was lying about dreaming about him I wouldn't know because like I said I never remember my dreams.

Later that day after school we were all planning on going to a movie together. Considering the last time we went to a movie it was extremely awkward because I hated Jayden, I was really looking forward to having a good outing with my friends. This time we were going to see Thirty Minutes or Less which had one of my favorite actors in it, Jesse Eisenberg. I spent the majority of the ride to the Princess Theater bugging Jayden by talking with Cali about how much I loved Jesse Eisenberg.
