Mr Bad Boy Who Lives Next Door ✔

He held my hand surely
But he let it go so slowly.

"Will?" I asked turning away from Hunter.

I heard him sigh and out of the corner of my eye, he turned away. "Hey, I was just wondering what you were up to today" William said.

"Oh, I'm with Hunter" I replied.

"Oh? Are you guys friends again?" He asked, his tone neutral.

I closed my eyes. "Working on it" I replied.

I reached up and touched my lips. Just moments ago, I felt Hunter lips brush mine , my heart was beating fast and I took a shuddering breath.

"Jamie?" Will's voice said, breaking me from my thoughts.

"Can I call you later" I said, shaking my head.
I didn't want to talk to him. Right now, his voice just annoyed me. I wanted to talk to Hunter, I wanted to cherish this moment with him.

"Uh okay" he said.

"Okay, talk later J" he said.

"Bye" I replied, hanging up and not regretting it. 

I turned my head to face Hunter but he was picking the bark off a tree, I tucked my phone into my back pocket of my jeans.

"Hunter" I said.

He turned slowly. "If you have to go, just leave me here" he said, his voice low.

"No, stuff William" I said, walking towards him.

Hunter raised an eyebrow but held his hands up when I neared him. "Jamie, we shouldn't" he said, his voice breaking.

I couldn't keep my heart from thundering in my ears. "Why not?" I rasped out, half confused.

"I don't want to ruin this, this friendship we've only just managed to build" he said, his fingers cupping my cheek.

"And what about what I want?" I whispered.
Hunter swallowed. "Jamie-" he cut off.

He didn't know what to say. His eyes flickered to my mouth. "Promise that whatever happens, you won't hold this against me" he whispered, his eyes flickering back up to meet mine.

"I promise" I replied.

His hand caressed my jaw before he leant in. Our mouths met and he pressed closer to me. My eyes fluttered close as I gripped his jacket.

Kissing Hunter was like kissing a wild thunderstorm. It took my breath away. It was soft but hard, slow but steady. I didn't even feel myself run my fingers through his hair.

This was it. Every confused moment I had about Hunter led up to this. I could see everything laid out in front of me, I just wanted to hold on tight and let the world spin around me.

"Jamie" Hunter whispered.

He had pulled away and rested his forehead on mine. "You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that" he said, tracing circles on my wrist.
