The Gorgeous Nerd

Chapter 31. Surrender

We are on a busy road, while I am anxiously sitting behind him, with my eyes shut in fear. My lose strands of hair under the helmet are blowing across my face and I am too scared to even brush them off.

As and when he speeds up even a little, I squeeze his jacket from the back.

"Will you just put your arms around me? It will be a lot easier for the both of us." He teases while still cutting through the traffic like a pro biker.

Oh well, he is one.

"No, I am okay." I shout.

He chuckles. "But I am not. You have been tickling me all this time. Not that I mind it but I need to focus right now. You are kinda turning me on."

I gape.

This tease never gives up!

I growl and roll my eyes. "Fine! No need to be that straightforward."

He giggles. "I always prefer being straightforward with you!"

A car too fast over takes us. And I go short of breath immediately. "Focus!"

"So glad we didn't get hit by that." He pokes fun while pacing down the road smoothly.

"Don't talk. Just ride." I order.

"Yes, Mama." He teases again.

I get offended but just shake it away. "Whatever!"

I am still over alert and scared of the speeding cars.

"For the last time, kindly drop your arms around me, and not rip off my jacket from behind!" He is firm this time.

"Okay, okay." I say in a rush.

I am self conscious as I slowly snake my arms under his elbow and hold him across the waist, praying that this ends soon.

"Better." I can sense him smiling at my state.

I just sit behind awkwardly and very uptight because I have never sat with a guy on a bike before.

But to kill the tension I try to focus on something else. His scent catches my senses. Just now I realize how mind blowing he smells. I can't help but breathe on his neck more and more. I just decide to check him out for once and for the first time ever. We have been closer than this before but right now, I can see him without him seeing me. Every bit of him is droolworthy. No wonder why he gets girls easily. Urgghh! I hate that thought but I have to admit that it won't be easy to see him with another girl. But why should I be concerned about that? I can never go that path. We are not even a couple. Yes I made him say that too. So why bother about such things? I am getting jealous for nothing! Argh!

I don't know why but I have this sudden urge to rest my head on his shoulders and just bask in that scent of his. But I stop myself because I am scared what he might think.

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

The ride was pretty smooth except for a couple of times when he swayed the bike to tease the life out of me and thankfully we make it to his place in the end. It took us close to 15 minutes. Well, I don't know why he brings a car if he stays so nearby.

Rich bastard!

"Where's your home?'' I am confused as I look around everywhere after getting off the bike and putting aside the helmets.

"Are you kidding or you really don't see that?" He frowns.

I see nothing but a huge stretch of wall outlined by evergreens and some mapple trees. And then there's a slanting rooftop peeping above its height.
