Bitten By Love

Chapter 14

***Simone's POV***

All the ride to my house Ramon chatted about how he enjoyed himself but I couldn't focus on what he was saying. All I could think about was how Trey saw me with another guy.

What if he saw when Ramon kissed me? I don't know what he would do? Will he break up with me?...... My heart couldn't take it. I was too in love with him.

The car stopped.

"Why are we stopping?" I asked angrily.

"You're home....did i do something wrong?" Ramon looked scared.

"No. Its not you....thanks for the ride. I'll see you at school." I got out of the car before he could say anything else.
He didn't drive away until I was safe inside. What a gentleman.

My parents were already asleep when I went in so I sighed and went up to my room. It has been a very long, eventful night. I took off my dress and sprawled out on my bed in my underwear only.
I was about to fall asleep when a text came in on my phone.

Trey: Come outside now.

I looked at the time. 11:45 pm. What in God's heaven could Trey be doing at my house this time of the night. I didn't text back since I thought he must have made a mistake.

Trey: Get outside now please before your parents catch me. Wear a t-shirt and shorts. Underwear is optional :-)

My curiosity got the better of me so I decided to go with him.

Me: I'll be down soon.

A few minutes later we were on his bike going to God knows where. The wind played on my bare thighs and I gripped Trey tighter. Why did he tell me to wear shorts? Is he trying to let me freeze to death?

We rode for almost an hour. If he saw Ramon kiss me, could he be jealous enough to kidnap me and killed me? I flinched at the thought. Trey is too sweet to be a kidnapper or a killer.

We bounced up and down on the motorcycle. We were riding on a rocky, small road. Under the moonlight I could see trees and flowers on both sides of the road and I had no idea where I was.

"We'll have to walk from here." Trey said and we dismounted. He had a black leather bag and I dared not ask him what was inside.
He heaved the bag on his shoulder and it made a clanging sound. "Lets go." He ordered and I followed him.

What if he's bringing me out here to hurt me. I took out my phone from my shorts pocket. Maybe I should text someone and call for help. I quickly sent a message to Josh.

Me: Hey I'm with Trey and I'm really scared I don't know where he's taking me.

Josh is a genius. He will track my phone and find me. I waited for him to reply.

No signal.

Great! Now I'm screwed.

Trey glanced behind him. "We're almost there." He smiled at me.
My heart was beating at a million beats per second.
I gave him a weak smile. "OK."

We were walking by a small stream now. My feet were really tired and they gave way. I slipped and fell.
Trey spun around quickly.
"Oh my God. Simone are you hurt? Do not try to get up. No sudden movements." Trey took off his bag and started going through it very slowly.

He stopped, finally finding what he was looking for.
Is that knife?!

I blinked, trying to figure out if I was seeing correctly or not. The blade of the knife glistened in the moonlight.
Oh my God he's going to stab me!!!

"I came to your ball last night. Valentine's queen. Congrats." He smiled at me.

"I -I am so sorry Trey." I stammered as he came closer to me, holding the knife steadily in the air.
"I didn't know Ramon was going to kiss me." I blurted out. "And its n-not like it was a real k-kiss. Just a peck on the cheek."

"Shhh....be quiet. Stay still and this will be over soon." He ordered.

"Are you going to kill....?" I shuddered.

"Yes! Now will you please stay still?"

I closed my eyes tight. I couldn't watch. How could I not know that Trey is a killer. Maybe he was the one who ran Samantha and I off the road. I was in the accident and I survived so now he's  here to finish the job. Tomorrow the news will read: High school teenager, Simone Channer was brutally murdered by Trey.... Wait. What's Trey's last name? I cant believe I don't my boyfriend's surname.....not that it matters now anyway.

I screamed as I felt something cold running down my cheek. I half opened my eyes as the red liquid dripped down on my blouse. Blood!

"Trey please don't kill me!!!" I screamed.

"What? Why would I want to kill you?" he said.

I looked up on him. He was holding a small rattlesnake on his knife.

Wait.

He was trying to protect me from the snake. How stupid of me to think otherwise. I inhaled and exhaled deeply as he pulled me to my feet. Embarrassment was written all over my face and Trey looked a little hurt.
He gave me a napkin to wipe my face and we continued walking.

"Close your eyes. We are here." Trey ordered and I obeyed.

I heard him fidgeting for a while.
"Where did I put the damn match!" I heard him mumble to himself.

Why does he need a match?  Is he making a fire? I wanted to open my eyes but was afraid to.

"No peeking." Trey said as he continued whatever he was doing.

"Trey......did I do something wrong?" My voice shook.

"Yes you did...." Trey answered.

Oh no!

"You stole my heart." He finished his sentence and I gave a sigh of relief.

Why was being so paranoid.

I felt his hands wrapping around my waist pulling me close to him until it felt like our bodies were one.

"You can open your eyes now babe." He whispered softly into my ear.
I opened my eyes slowly and was shocked at what I saw.
