Burned Out Flames

Chapter 11

I don't know what happened the past few chapters but everything has been taking a turn. Just when I thought I was going through enough complications , something else pops up. I don't get much sleep anymore, I rarely pay attention in class , I gained a few pounds but that's completely fine. I don't recall the night Lela was found. Everything was vague, I remember seeing her with bruises all over and half naked. My heart broke at the sight of her but I didn't leave her , I stood right by her side as she was being transported to the hospital. She was in critical condition and when I was told , not only did I break but the walls I put up did. She's still in the hospital and she's making progress but it just isn't enough, I don't know how long she has to live. I just hope she pulls through ,I don't know what I'd do without her. I visit her everyday and I talk to her and our friendship seems to be rolling on the right track. I'm just glad I could speak to her and try my best to take care of her. Every now and then I tutor Archer and this time I'm actually helping him with a subject. I don't make much conversation unless I'm explaining the work to him and he listens,he knows I don't feel like talking so he doesn't try to make conversation and I appreciate that.

" We're finally done ",He said. " Well you are not me "." Same difference ". " Not really ".
He squinted his eyes at me and I grinned. " don't look at me like that ". He tilted his head ," or what ? ". " Or I'll slap you ". " Do it ".

I raised my hand to slap him but before it could reach his face he grabbed it , " No try again love ". " Let me go so I can try again ". " Use your other hand ". I raised my other hand and before I could even attempt to slap him he grabbed that one also. Then he laid me down and pinned both of my arms above my head and got on top. Shook. He stared at me deeply with a smirk on his face as I was still in shock. " Archer what are you doing ? ".

He didn't respond but instead he got closer to my face. His facial features were gorgeous , Is he even human? His eyebrows were arched beautifully and he had full eyelashes covering those mesmerizing eyes. I couldn't help but stare and admire him. " I want to kiss you so bad right now " , He let go of my arms and moved close enough to have his lips brush against mine. I was not afraid to admit I wanted him to kiss me and I wanted it badly. But all he's doing is teasing and it was frustrating me so I put my hands on his chest and tried to push him away. Unfortunately but fortunately it didn't work and he pressed his lips against mine. I didn't hesitate to kiss him back , I've been craving his lips whether I want to admit it or not. Our lips moved smoothly in sync as he slid his tongue into my mouth playing with mines. I wrapped my arms around his neck and moaned as he slid his hand underneath my dress , " Arch ". He smirked against my lips and I broke the kiss realizing what I called him. I haven't called him that in a while. I stared at him and was deciding if I should kiss him or not but I didn't.

" I should leave ", I said. I didn't want to leave but I wasn't planning on going any further with him. " You don't have to ", he whispered. I smiled but I only a little and got up to leave. I grabbed my things and walked towards the door then looked at him over my shoulder , " goodnight ". I didn't wait for him to reply and walked out the door to my room. Lela would freak out when I tell her what just happened between me and Archer. I bit lip as I replayed the whole scene in my head , were my wounds finally healing ?
