When we pulled into the garage Jaleb locked the doors. I pulled the handle and childishly let out a very unattractive grunt. I didn't want to be in the car for another second. Jaleb was a drug dealer. A stupid, stupid, stupid drug dealer and I didn't want anything to do with him. The longer I stayed in the car the more I had to stare at his gorgeous face the more likely I was to give in.
I pulled on the handle harder and Jaleb chuckled.
"It's locked."
I snapped around and glared at him.
"No shit Sherlock."
His expression suddenly went deadly serious. I let go of the handle and sat back into the car seat. Jaleb was an ass- a huge sexy pain in my ass. A huge sexy drug dealer that was a pain in my ass... yup, that about sums it up.
"Listen about tonight," he ran his hand through his hair. "You can't tell anyone."
I scoffed and his eyes widened. Since when did I take orders from him? I crossed my arms over my chest stubbornly.
"Why should I help you?"
Jaleb leaned in close, so close that he was basically on top of me. His warm scent invaded my nose and I shuttered. His smell was intoxicatingly delicious. I could get high off of his smell. He leaned closer and our lips were literally an inch away.
My eyes traveled down him and suddenly everything else disappeared. It didn't even feel like we were in the garage anymore. My eyes were focused on him and only him. He's stunning icy pale blue eyes looked like crystals and his clean cut black hair was messy.
How could one person be so obnoxious yet so gorgeous?
I bit my lip and put my hands on his chest. I pushed harder, but he wouldn't budge. Why did this damn car have such minimal space?
"You're going to do me this favor," his voice was rough, "and you're not going to bitch about it."
He pulled away fast and I exhaled reluctantly. Hell am I going to bitch about this. I'm going to bitch a fit. I'm going to have a bitch fit.
"So what do you say," he smirked, "sweetheart?"
I say hell no.
"Fine."
What?! I didn't say that! This was not fine. This was anything but fine. Why the hell did I say that?!
Jaleb cockily leaned over and patted my head, "Good girl."
He unlocked the doors and I climbed out of the gorgeous sports car. I watched Jay open the house door and disappear inside.
This is crazy, I'm going crazy.
I leaned up against the car.
I felt so weak. Why the heck did I just give up without a fight? I never gave up without a fight. Leah Taylors didn't let people push her around.
I pulled my hair over my shoulder and the warm breeze enveloped me.
When I finally decided to come inside I was surprised to fine Brandon on the couch.
His eyes were in slivers, "its 9, where have you been?!"
I rolled my eyes and walked around him.
"Out with Jaleb."
Brandon's eyes glared even more, "Weren't you suppose to be out on a date with Cal?"
Whoop, there it is. My brother is suddenly turning into the dad I never had. Just kidding, he's always been like this. I was about seven when my dad started leaving; which made Brandon about nine. He thought it was his responsibility being the man of the house you know blah, blah, blah. Sometimes it annoyed the shit out of me. He didn't need to take tabs on me. After all, I'm only two years younger than him.
"Brandon, leave it alone. I'm tired; I'll talk to you in the morning."
He stood up from his chair and rubbed his eyes. It was obvious that he was just as tired as I was.
"Alright, night Le."
He vanished down the hallway, and I began jogging up the stairs. I shuffled past Jay and Jane's room and walked quietly into my own. I turned the knob silently trying not to make a sound and-
"Where did you go tonight?"
I jumped up so high and clamped my mouth shut to stop from screaming.
I'm going to have a heart attack.
My heart raced and I steadily spun around to see Callan sitting on my bed. Holy shit!
I pressed my hand against my heart and tried to breathe calmly.
"Leah," Callan said, worry evident in his eyes, "where did you go?"
I tiptoed quietly to my bed and sat down next to him. His feathery blond hair was cluttered and his eyes were fighting to stay open. Even in the worst state he still looked good-looking.
"Uh, I saw Jay," I blubbered, the corners of Callan's lips turned downward into a stretching frown.
Great job Leah, you've been there two days and already hurt someone; this had to be a record.
Callan pushed up from my bed and rubbed the back of his neck. I laid back into my bed and stared up at the ceilling.
Why did he care if I was with Jaleb or not? It's not like we were on a date or anything. He asked me if I wanted to go out to the fair and hang out with him and his friends. He didn't confess his undying love for me and romantically swoon me away for a night on the town.
I sat up and watched Callan pace around my bedroom.
Why the hell is he pacing?
My eyes watched him go back and forth, back and forth until he finally stopped and glanced down at me. His eyes were just as stunning as Jaleb's. It's like being an Olson automatically made you a model. He walked over to me and his eyes- never leaving mine he began to lean in.
Hold your horses; all he was doing was pecking my cheek.
It was a cute and heartwarming gesture and when he pulled away I felt cold. Callan was warm, everything about him was warm. His eyes, his personality, his aura, everything. My heart ached for him to stay closer.
"I'll see you in the morn Lil," he whispered, his soft lips pressed against my nose. I shuttered and bit my lip. Callan might as well have the softest lips in the universe. If just a simple kiss on my nose made the butterflies in my stomach have a frenzy I couldn't imagine what it'd be like if he kissed my lips-
No, no, no Leah. You and Callan are friends. You can't like him. Remember the last time you fell in love?
Yes that's correct, I, Leah Taylors has been in love before.
Callan offered me a lopsided grin and began silently walking out of my room. I felt a trickle of blood touch my tongue- which reminds me, don't ever start biting your lip, it's an impossible habit to break.
The door was soundlessly shut behind him.
My mind was going in hyper speed, do I like Callan?
