Milkshake Thief

C h a p t e r 28

The school day had ended, I couldn't wait to see Nixon, especially since he couldn't come with the rest of us to Berries yesterday.

My eyes scan the area, then my eyes landed on Nixon. As per usual girls were trying to hit on him but he seemed to be ignoring them, which made a smile grace my features.

I walked over to him, his eyes meet mine and the look of relief sparkles in them as he meets me half way.

"hey darling" he says his tone a bit raspy

"hey Nixon" I smile

"I've missed you" he mutters pulling me into a hug

Warmth surrounded me, the scent of his cologne went up my noose comforting me. After a few moments we pull apart.

"alright should we leave, I want you all to myself" he says with a wink

I was going to respond but something on his face caught my eyes. There was a bruise, how had I not noticed it before.

"Nixon what happened to your face, why is it bruised like that" I asked suddenly feeling worried

"it's nothing we should just go to Berries" he sighed taking my hand

He wasn't looking at me and I felt anger and irritation. Anger because he's hurt; I want to hurt the person who did this to him and irritation, because he's trying to avoid the subject.
Was this why he didn't come to Berries yesterday, or did this happen today.

"Nixon who did this to you?" I pressed

His eyes furrowed, I didn't like the look he was giving me.

"I won't move until you tell me who did this to you" I continue taking my hand from his and crossing my arms

"can we just go"

"no"

"why are you being like this"

"why are you being like this" I repeated my voice raising a slight octave

"don't create a scene Lana"

"I don't care if I create a scene"

"Lana" he stressed slightly tugging my arm so it could unfold

"let's just go, I don't want to talk about it, it's not important"

"Your hurt, so this is important to me, I want to know who did this to you SO I can beat the living sh-"

"look it was just a petty fight alright nothing serious" he cut me off taking my hand once again

"I still wanna know who bruised your face though"

"there's this guy called Kale, he and I don't really get along, he started annoying me, I started talking back and it kind of escalated into a fight the end" he says his tone slightly icy

"I'm beating the shit out of this Kale dude"

"no your not Lana"

"yes I am"

"you don't even know who he is"

"I will find him somehow and fight him"

"Lana listen to me" he said cupping my face in his hands

"what" I whisper totally captivated by his honey brown eyes

"calm down ok"

"ok"

He placed a soft kiss on my lips before moving away. At that moment I realised that there was still people here and that Nixon had just kissed me in public. My face flushed.

"N-Nixon you can't just do that in public"

"do what" he said innocently amusment danced in his eyes

"you know what I'm talking about" I say my face warming up more

"oh you mean this" he replies before placing another kiss to my lips

Although it was just a peck, the colour red prickled across my skin and it got my heart beating faster.

"stop teasing me" I mumble giving his chest sloppy slaps

"ok fine, I'm sorry, I just love it when you blush" he said taking both of my hands

"hmph"

"Lana"

"hmph"

"I'll buy you your milkshake"

"what really" I responded, feeling surprised

"what about our deal" I added raising an eyebrow

"what about it" he replied with a smirk

"I'm your boyfriend aren't I, I should be paying for things, I'll just say that you've already paid your debt to me, so our deal is over" he continues gently squeezing my hand

"well then what are we waiting for babe, let's move" I exclaimed happily

"did you just call me babe"

"I sure did babe" I say giving him a classy wink before strutting off

I could hear his footsteps coming after me, a huge smile took over my face as he managed to catch up and take my hand in his.

We soon found ourselves submerged in a conversation as we walked along the busy streets.
