Chapter 11

     I retreated up into my bedroom after sending Jayden and Alex away and promising that I would listen open-minded to what they had to say about my...situation. I turned a corner, visioning snuggling under my thick white duvet and- I cut my thoughts off when I saw an unfamiliar folded piece of paper lying on my pillow, through the crack of my bedroom door. I walked into my room and slowly unfolded the note.

    BOO

     My eyebrows instantly furrowed at the letters. B-O-O....what could that mean? I felt three consecutive taps on my right shoulder. My body instantly tensed and I felt a tingle run down my spine. I turned around and screamed when I came face to face with a...clown? My screams died when I heard a loud laugh from beneath the mask.

     "That-was-so funny!" Alex said between chuckles, whilst taking off the mask.

     I glared at him through narrowed eyes.

     He smirked and made himself comfortable on my bed. "I don't know what's funnier. Your reaction or the fact that you wore this once upon a time. I found it in your wardrobe."

     "What are you still doing here?" I said calmly, ignoring his comments.

     His smirk widened and he propped on a pillow to look at me. "You didn't think I would actually listen to you when you just rudely told us to leave. Now did you?"

     "Leave!" I demanded, pointing at the door.

     He slowly scanned my body, stopping back at my lips. My heart raced and my body heated. I crossed my arms; suddenly feeling self conscious. "Are you going to make me?"

     "Get out!"

     "I know you want answers to why you're so damn attracted to me," he winked.

     "I-I don't know what you're talking about," I said fluttered, trying not to meet his eyes. He hopped off my bed and walked towards me.

    "Keep telling yourself that, love" he whispered, stopping a few inches away.

     I smelt the cool mint from his breath invade me once again. I took a step back, but he swiftly took a step forward. Like two strings aligned, he mimicked my every move. I took another step until my back hit the wall. He smirked and I felt the familiar electric tingles flow through me as he leaned his head closer towards me. I involuntarily closed my eyes.

     His soft lips grazed the side of my neck; planting a sweet kiss on the hollow. I momentarily open my eyes and gasped at the contact, before closing them again. My body heated further at the contact and I felt an ache to have him closer. My hands shot out and grabbed his cropped hair; dragging his head closer to mine. I felt him smile against my skin at my actions. His built body moved closer until it molded up against mine. The electric-buzz became stronger and stronger as he planted hot kisses up and down my neck. He trailed kisses along the length of my collarbone, before taking his lips completely off my skin. I frowned and he smirked back at me; his blue eyes holding a sparkle. His soft hand cupped my cheek and he leaned towards my lips. I felt the sparks become heavy...heavier. I felt them consume me. Begging my lips to join with his. 

     My phone suddenly vibrated from within my pocket and I jumped. Alex sighed and turned around, collapsing back on my bed. His lust filled eyes followed me as I walked around the room with the phone to my ear; trying to controll my breathing.

     "Hello?" I answered, expecting my brother.

     "Hi," a female voice answered.

     "Sorry, who's this?"
