Color Me In {Interracial romance}

Chapter 3

When the bell rung signaling that school was over I quickly said goodbye to Ally and walked towards my car. Hopping in my car I turned my heat up and pulled out my phone to text Holden that I was on my way. I jumped and almost bumped my head on the roof of my car when I heard knocking on my window.

"Wow, you really do get scared easily." Holden said after I rolled the window down.

"No shit Sherlock." I said matching his playful smile.

"Oh, Sassy huh? I like it on you." 

"Just get in you loser." I giggled, unlocking the doors for him to get in.

Holdon got in and shut the door, rubbing his hands to warm them.

"Here. Let me see your hands." 

I grabbed his hands and cupped them toghether. I started blowing into them to warm them up and caught Holden looking at me.

My heart felt like it stopped for a minute. I couldn't read his expression, but I wish I knew what was going through his mind. He leaned in closer to me, so close that I could feel his breath brushing the top of my lips, making a shiver go down my spine. He cupped the side of my face with his hand, running his thumb across my cheek gently. 

"Beautiful." He whispered. 

He pressed his soft warm lips against mine in such a passionate way. It felt as if time stopped as our lips moved together perfectly. Holden gently bit at my lower lip, making my giggle. He took that oppurtunity to slip his tounge in. My whole body tingled as we kissed, making me feel like I was on cloud nine, but I knew we had to stop if I was ever going to help him study. 

"We should probably get going." I said pulling away and placing my forehead on his. 

Holden frowned and I gave him a quick peck on the lips before placing my hands on the steering wheel. What I saw confused my though, we were still in the school parking lot, but a blonde head and blue eyed girl was standing right in front of my car, staring. This girl, whoever she was, looked like she wanted to kill me. 

"Um, Holden, do you know her?" 

"Crap." He muttered under his breath. 

"That's Beth, my ex girlfriend, don't worry about her." 

I stared right back at the girl as I pulled the car out of the parking lot. I was feeling a mix of emotions as I drove towards Holdens house.

I always knew that they use to date, but their relationship ended a year ago. Why would Beth still have feelings for him? I a little jealous too, Beth was his girlfriend at one point in time, and Holden hasn't asked me yet. I didn't know if he even would ask me, it was messing with my head, and I guess Holden noticed because he intertwined his hand into mine.

"Sarah, don't worry about her. She's in the past."

I gave him a soft smile, nodding. I pulled the car into his driveway and parked. 

"Okay! You ready to get your study on buddy boy?" I hopped out the car and met Holden at the other side as he grabbed hold of my hand.

"You're so lame." he chuckled.

He fished his keys out of his pocket and opened the door. For some reason I felt nervous. What if his parents where home? What will they say?

We walked into the house and Holden lead me into the kitchen. I put my stuff down into a chair and grabbed my textbook before sitting down next to Holden.

"Well hello there, I didn't hear you coming in Holden, and who is this?" 

I turned to see who it was and saw that it was a very gorgoeus woman probably in her mid forties. I could tell where Holden got his looks from. 

"Hello, Im Sarah. Nice to meet you." I said placing a hand out for her to shake. What shocked me was when she looked at my hand in disgust and looked back at Holden. 

"May I have a word with you in your father's office please Holden?" She snapped and quickly left the room.  

I just sat there staring in shock at the place where she used to stand. Did that lady really just deny my handshake? What was that all about?

I looked over to Holden to see that he was just as in shock as I was. 

"Holden!" his mother yelled from what I'm guessing was his father's office. Holden walked out of the room and into the office as I sat there. A few minutes passed by and I got really curious to what they were saying so I snuck up behind a corner beside the office door. 

"What are you doing with a girl like that Holden?!" You could tell his mother was trying to whisper but she wasn't doing a very good job at it.

"What do you mean a gir like her?"

"Don't play that game with me Holden, you know very well of what Im talking about. We are very high up in this community, and what would people thing of you dating a black girl? You can not put shame upon our family like that!" 

It felt as though time stopped stopped in that moment, and not in the good way that holden makes feel. I could feel my chest tightening and tears rushing to my eyes. I put a hand over my mouth to stop myself from sobbing and started backing away from the door. I couldn't be here anymore, I couldn't take another heartbreak. 

I was snapped out of it when i bumped into a small table in the hallway, knocking it down. I couldn't contain it anymore as I fell to the floor and let the tears roll down my cheeks and sadness consume me. 

 Holden and his mother rushed into the hallway and saw me beside the fallen table, but I quickly got up before he could reach me.

"Sar-" He began but I stopped him.

"Don't. Dont you dare Holden," I said with tears rushing down even harder now.

"Please, Just dont ever talk to me again." I said before running out his front door.

I could hear Holden running after me, calling my name, but I was already to close to my car for him to catch me. I got in and locked the doors, breaking down and sobbing, not caring if he did see. I knew this would have happened some time. Why was I so stupid to think it would work out?! 

"Sarah, baby, please. Let me explain." He begged, tapping at my car window.

I looked into his eyes and gave him the most emotionless face I could come up with.

"I dont want to see you ever again." I said as I quickly drove out of his driveway. I knew this wasn't his flaut, but I didn't want to get heart broken over a boy who parents were to ashamed of me.

I am saving myself. Is that so wrong?
