Faraway

Chapter 2

Jessica's POV.
      I kept opening and closing my mouth looking like a stupid fish out of the water. A melodic laugh came out of him as he looked down at me "U-Uh ,you can call me Jess," I finally responded averting my eyes to the ground.
      Ugh! I never fail to embarrass my self-but who cares he was damn fine. I mean look at his soft brown locks, his sharp jawline, that cheekbone and don't get me started on those ey-....no no Jessica focus.
      He shook my hand with a firm grip-I'd love that as a new choker-stahp! The thing is that I lived here ever since I was two so I was definitely familiar with all the faces, except him. "Do you know where I can buy a drink?I just moved here yesterday" he explained. Did he just read my mind?
      "I was um actually heading there, I'll walk you " I replied smiling.
      The sun rays were blanketing the place warming the whole day. We were walking in silence until he said "So, Jess,did you come here alone?"
      "No, I'm with her" said a voice coming from behind me. I looked behind me to see Grayson sending daggers to Malik. Surprisingly, he put his arm around my waist in a protective manner. What the hell?
       I guess I caught a disappointed look on Malik's perfect face for a mere second but he then said "Thanks, Jess I can spot a bar over there...hope I can see you around."
      I turned to Grayson with a scowl on my face"You didn't have to do that," I spoke." What?" he asked removing his hand from around me and putting them up in surrender acting all innocent.
      Walking back a chilly breeze ruffled my waves, which were past my waist (in a serious need for a trim). My dry mouth reminded me of going to by a drink"I'll get a drink real quick,Gray." I told him.
      He nodded and I went to the bar sitting on a red comfortable stool. "Can I get a fresh orange juice?" I asked the guy behind the bar. He noticed me and went to get me my drink.
      I sighed a long sigh and started thinking about the Malik guy with his built and cute dimpl-"Who's causing that beautiful smile of yours must be very lucky," said a husky voice from my right sending shivers down my spine.
      Eventually, I peered to see Malik sitting beside me. A wider uncontrollable smile crawled on my face. "So, are you here by yourself?" I repeated his last question.
      "Yeah,...but you seem to have your boyfriend's company" he murmured looking away. My smile dropped and I held his biceps-nice guns- eww stop. "No no he's my best friend."
      "Really?" he glanced at my hand and his posture relaxed almost in relief. I nodded violently getting a chuckle out of him. Wow, that sounded like smooth melted buttery white chocolate.
      "Miss, Your drink" called out the guy grinning and handing me my juice. With a quick thanks I stood up "good bye Malik..see you." I squealed out.
        Making my way to where the guys were I came in contact with a hard surface yet again. Same insanely blue eyes looking down at me he said"You're really clumsy ,you know that?"
       The proximity between us kept shrinking and shrinking. We were so close my breath hitched and the only thing I can see was him. So gently, he pecked my lips; his own were surprisingly so soft and feathery. In the need for more I leaned in responding to his kiss ,missing his lips already.
       We moved as if it was practiced before:
My hands at the back of his head, tugging at his hair.

His hands snuck around my waist.

      Minty breath and his mouth welcoming, I moaned which seemed to make him pull me impossibly closer. Our tongues battling against each other. I wanted more from him.

I needed more.

      "JESSICA!" Growled an angry voice behind me. We pulled away panting my face blushing like a tomato when I saw the glint of mischievous in his eyes and swollen lips.
      I was jerked back by a furious Grayson and before I stop him, he punched Malik. What the hell?!
      They were almost the same height except Malik was two inches towering over him. It made him more intimidating.
      I screamed holding back Grayson. Malik didn't look fazed by the merciless punch he just got. "What is your problem Grayson?" I yelled in his face. Who does he think he is to go punching people around like that?!
      "You were making out with a total stranger! What do you think I should have done? Stayed back and watched?" he shouted tightening his fists grabbing some passerby's attention.
      "It is clearly none of your business, dude. Stop bossing her around like that!" defended Malik with a bruise forming on his once perfect cheekbone .
      He sent Malik a deadly glare "Come with me,Jess" he reached out for my hand ,but I pulled back.
      "I'm going with Malik," I blurted out stunning Grayson, Malik and even myself. As a consequence Malik wrapped his arm around me and smirked at Grayson.
      We stormed past him and a sleeping Mason, typical. I took my bag and stormed away.
      Honestly I don't know why Grayson acted that way. He wasn't always that protective, I guess because it's the first time a guy shows interest in me. A hot one may I add hehe.
      "Where do you want to go now?" asked Malik with a raspy voice raising a suggestive eyebrow.
