Our little secret

chapter three (paxton)

(a/n) the * is suppose to be Leslie's thoughts in case your confused. Paxton will explain why he can hear her thoughts later.

*************************

Paxton's POV

I heard Leslie screaming for Zeke and she sounded hysterical. "Les? Les, what's wrong? are you okay?" I asked her. I knew Zeke was fine he just needed some time to calm down. He just needed to take a breather and cool off. I wanted to give her a hug but I didn't want her to think I was a weirdo or anything. she barely knew me and I think that might come off as creepy.

"I have to find Zeke. I need to make sure he's okay. I promised Des I would find him."

She's so worried about him. I don't understand why though. They don't even know each other that well so why does she care so much? if i'm being honest i'm pretty mad that she's that worried about him. "i'm sure he's fi-" I was cut off by the one and only Zeke.

"Les? I heard you yelling what's wrong?" We both looked over at him. All he had was a busted lip. I saw him walk past me to Leslie and hug her. He then whispered something in her ear and she just stood there with her arms around his neck.

"Zeke can I talk to you for a minute", I snapped at him.

He nodded and we walked inside to the game room. "everyone out!" I snapped and everyone scurried out of the room. "damn dude, what's your problem today?" Zeke asked me.

"You know the rules Zeke! You cant like her...and she isn't allowed to like you either. You broke a huge rule Zeke." i said frustrated.

"I know pax but you seem to forget I'm new at this and its not easy. Shes cute and I'm a flirtatious person," he said with a smirk. Is it bad that i wanted to beat that smirk off his face? What the heck is this feeling? I've never felt this before. I really just hate the idea of Leslie liking Zeke.

"Zeke you need to tell her you cant be together," he rolled his eyes and nodded. Then he turned around and walked away.

"PAXTON KYLE!" I heard a very familiar feminine voice yell.

"Les-", was all I could say before she stormed over. uh oh someone is angry.

"I have been yelling your name. I know you heard me." oh crap I must of spaced out. I didn't hear her at all.

"I swear I didn't hear you Les." I tried to reassure her.

She smiled at me and caught me off guard by hugging me. "Thanks for trying to calm me down Pax", I hugged her back still kind of shocked.

I pulled back but she still had her arms around my neck. *he's really cute.* I smiled at her. we stood there looking at each other with our arms still wrapped around each other.

When she pulled away realizing we were having a moment she turned a bright red. I coughed awkwardly and rubbed the back of my neck. Well this is a new feeling.

*oh my gosh am I seriously blushing?*

I love that I can hear her thoughts. she's so cute when she's embarrassed. "Are you okay now?" I asked her trying to help her not feel so embarrassed.

She nodded and cleared her throat, "Paxton can I tell you something?"

"Of course les. what's up?"

"Promise you wont say anything to anyone, not even Zeke. Pinky promise."

I knew what she was going to tell me. I could already read her. She is going to tell me she likes him. This is really bad.

she took a deep breath then looked at me "I th-think I might like Zeke."
