The Dark Kiss

...........................

I can't believe I was thinking about Ashton again. Ashton was a rude careless boy with sexy lips and a 6 packs. Ms.Rodriguez waves her arms back and forth waking me from my daydream, "Ms.McCall may you please go down and get me my Kleenex tissue box since you are not paying attention at all to this lesson" she makes a disappointed face expression and goes back to the board.

I get up from my chair and head to the basement. yay me.

I walk over to the window and I reflect on my dark surroundings. I had always hated deserted basements with its grieving, gleaming gates. It was a place that encouraged my tendency to feel sad.

I saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It's the loving yet scary figure of Ashton Collins.

I gulp. I glance at my own reflection. I'm a strong special tea drinker with bluish eyes and blonde wavy hair. All my friends see me as a shy, innocent brave girl. Once, I had even jumped into a river and saved a poor puppy. Sadly, I didn't get to keep him.

But not even a brave person, who had once jumped into a river and saved a poor puppy, was prepared for what Ashton had in store today

"What do you want?" I ask him. I don't need an answer cause I know exactly what he wants.

The rain hammered the window making me irritable.

I took the Kleenex tissue box as I stepped outside, Ashton came closer.

I could see the high-pitched smile on his face.

Ashton gazed as I rolled my eyes in frustration. I'm annoyed.

"I'm sorry...Please forgive me" he says in a hushed tone. I look back, even more irritable and still holding the stupid box. "Ashton, you're fluent in lies." I reply.

We look at each other with hurt feelings. Ashton studies my lips and body.ugh.

"Can you not?!?" I yell! "Damn, stop staring at me like that!" I yell again.

He looks at me with puppy eyes, "I'm sorry" he continues, "I just can't resist your body and your beautiful red lips."

"I'm sorry" not really, I tell him in an apologetic tone, "But I don't feel the same way, and I never will. I just don't like you Ashton and you have to accept that."

I could hear his emotions shattered into 1129 pieces....Like he had emotions.

He gave me an evil dead stare before be walked away to his next class.

Not even a cup of tea would calm my nerves tonight. I forgot I spent nine and a half minutes in the basement so my teacher started yelling at me and I had to tell her up couldn't find it. Lying is bad but it saves you from trouble.

....While walking in the hallway I see my best crazy friend Jade. She's really beautiful and I envy her for that, she has long straight brunette hair and dimples when she smiles, she has big beautiful eyes and a great attitude. "Heyy gurl" she walks towards me and pats me in the back.

"Hey" I answer back. "Are you coming to lunch? or nah? she asks me with a curious tone, I take a long minute to answer but I know that I am. I know that I have lunch with Ashton and she knows that as well but I don't want to see him and hear his stupid lies and fake apologies but I'm also hungry and I can't wait to eat whatever they're serving.

"Fine, I'll go" I let out a big exhausted dramatic gasp and Jade jumps up and down with a happy smile on her face, "don't worry chipmunk! I'll hide your future husband" she laughs.

I look at her like she's crazy, "Don't call me chipmunk AND he's not my future husband!" I back up my answer, " I don't want to marry someone like him, hell no, or even date him" I laugh and she joins as we enter the cafeteria.

Lunch was okay. Surprisingly, Ashton was nowhere in sight and I spent the hours secretly taking Jade's fries and eating them. Lunch is my last class and now I'm going home to my lazy bed. "Are you gonna walk me to class?" Jade smiles.

"Sure."

"Thanks chipmunk!! hehe you're the best!!!." she claps.

When I drop her off to her algebra class, I directly head home hoping not to see Ashton but I guess God wasn't hearing my prayers.

He walks to me but we don't say anything at all, we just stare at each other and he looks perfect. He is wearing a simple gray T-Shirt with a black leather jacket on top, his white jeans and converse.

"What do you want now?" I ask him while slowly walking away from him. He catches up to me, " I don't want anything, I just want you!" he says with a desperate sad face. I laugh, "Haha! how many girls did you say that to?" I smirk.

His smile fades, "Not funny" he exclaims

"I'm not trying to be" I snap. I'm the one in control now.

"I don't want any other girls! Fuck them! I just want you! Juliet please, please hear me out and I'll tell you everything, I'll tell you what I felt from the first day I saw you till the day I couldn't breathe because I fell in love with you." This time he was begging. Yes, he was on his knees and it hurts and I admit it, I know I really dislike him but maybe if I just listen to him I can understand him and get this over with. It won't hurt...Will it?

"Stop. Get up." I try to make a straight serious face, "You have 9 minutes" I tell him.

"9 minutes?!?" "Wtf" he exclaims while standing up. I shake my head, "make that 8" I tell him. He slaps his head softly, "Ugh".

I giggle.

...Ashton's POV:

This is my chance to prove to her how I love her. I know I fuck things up. Hell yeah, I always do, I date girls just to have sex with them and use them but Juliet...She's different. "Remember, that day? The first day of freshman year when you were sitting alone in that bench?" I ask her. She looks away and nods.

"I came to you and started checking you out, You might think that I was checking your body and your ads but I was just looking at your beautiful hair dancing with the cold air breeze and the way you shyly smiled when random people smiled to you."

she rolls her eyes, "where did you get those pick up lines? tell me the website so that I can learn them too."

I continue, "and you looked at me and I looked at you...it only takes 8 seconds of eye contact for 'love at first sight' to happen."

She looks sad and upset. It's my entire fault, I treat her so bad every day.

I treat her like an animal, sometimes worse.
