I'm Into You

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Adrenaline takes over my body and I don’t even realize what I’m doing until I’m only two feet away.  I make my way closer to them, and I stand right behind Christina.  Her stupid blond hair is making me blind.  Luke is staring right at me.  Christina must see his expression and she turns around so fast that her stupid blond hair whacks me in the face. 

“What’s going on, guys?” I say and she gives me a dirty look.  She is in no position to be looking at me like that.  She is the one who goes around kissing guys the way she breathes air.

“What do you want?” She asks with a sarcastic tone.  What do I want?  I have no idea.  I don’t even know why I came over here.  I got angry and I acted on impulse.

“Well?” Blondie asks impatiently.  I look to Luke who has a different expression on his face than his nervous one from before.  My mouth goes dry.  What do I even say to her?  She is miss popularity, if I even look at her the wrong way she can ruin my life with a single rumor.  I don’t want that.  

“Um… I just um… I wanted to ask Luke a question.  I didn’t mean to disturb you, your highness.  I mean Christina.”  What the heck?

She chuckles and looks me up and down.  “Whatever, but don’t hog him.  He is supposed to be walking me to class after lunch.  Isn’t that right Luke?”  She says.  She obviously is trying to make me jealous.  There’s no reason to, it’s not like we are dating. 

“Uh yeah, right.”  Luke says but doesn’t take his eyes off me. 

“I’ll meet you by the vending machine.  See ya.”  She blows his a kiss on her stupid hand and walks away with her shoulders back and head held high like she is some stuck up queen. 

“So, you and Christina huh.” I say.

“It’s not what you think Jess.” He pleads.

“Really?  Because what I’m thinking is that since she just kissed you on the cheek, and you are walking her to class, and she blew you a kiss on her stupid hand, then you guys must have a thing.”  Anger bites me and I’m about to blow. 

He just told me yesterday that he liked me and he will wait for me, no matter how long it takes.  Now he is with some chick that hates everyone and acts like she is Queen B.  Did he just play me last night?  Like Jake did all this time?  He only said those things to get to me, and then when a better offer came along, he takes it?  I thought Luke was different.  I guess no guy is. 

“I didn’t want her to kiss me.  I only said yes because she basically forced me to.  I’m only being nice.  Last time I checked I don’t have a girlfriend, so I can do whatever I want.”

Ouch.  That hurt.

“So, what?  Just because I said no to date you right now, you have the right to go off and be with whoever you want?”

“That’s usually the definition of single.” He says and his body tenses.

“Well what happened to the whole, ‘I’ll wait for you for as long as it takes’ bit from yesterday?  Was that just a lie to keep me interested?” I say full of anger in my tone.  I will not be played again, especially not from someone who I thought cared about me.

“Jessica, listen to you.  I said that and I meant it.  I will wait for you as long as it takes, but just because I talk to another girl, it doesn’t mean I like her over you.  You are the only one I like Jess, not that snob who threw herself at me.”

“You don’t like her?” I ask, curiosity getting the best of me. 

“Not like I like you.” He answers.  He steps closer to me to the point where our noses are centimeters away. 

 “So you like her a little bit?”

“No!  I don’t like her at all!  Rude, cruel, and snobby are not my type.  You are my type.  Sweet, confident, outgoing, and beautiful.”

“She is prettier than me.”  She is blond and blue eyed and tall and skinny, much prettier than I am. 

“Yes, she is pretty, but you are beautiful.  The way that I see you.”  He always surprises me with his words.  My cheeks feel hot and he wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to his body.

“I don’t want anyone but you Jess.”  He says and a smile dances on that flawless face of his.  Before I can speak, he closes the space between us by pulling me into a kiss.  Sweet and precious, just like last time. 

Chills course through my skin and goose bumps make themselves noticeable.  My cheeks flare in heat and everything feels right. 

We pull away just long enough to look each other in the eyes.  His green ones are shining as the sun glares in them.

“You are all I want.” I admit and kiss him on the nose. 

“That’s good, because I don’t know what I’d do if I saw you with someone else.” He laughs.

“If you play your cards right, you never will.”  The bell rings and I am released from his grip.

“You better go find Christina before she hunts you down.” I say looking over his shoulder to where Christina is talking her friends.  Luke turns his head and then looks back at me.

“Guess I better.  She means nothing to me.  Remember that.” I nod and he begins to walk away.  Halfway towards the queen, he turn around and waves to me.  I return his gesture and head to class.  Sophia has probably already left the courtyard so I am not going worry about waiting for her.
