My Possessive Neighbor

Chapter 22~Ghosts~

Weeks flew by and I barely spoke to an of my friends or even Blake.. But I was feeling much better and more hopeful.

I put on a black hoodie, sneakers and jeans and decided to do some grocery shopping. It was 10 am and I wanted to make strawberry pancakes, but I had to go out and get some strawberries, whip cream and pancake mix.

I walked to the car and saw Blake just arriving home. I hurried into my car and drove off.

After I went into the store I hurried and grabbed what I needed, I turned to check out and there he stood..

"Blake!"  I gasped.

"Oh hey, I needed a few things"..he explained in a nervous tone.

I was sure he followed me, but maybe not.

"How are you?"  He asked while looking at pancake mix on the shelves.

"I'm good." I smiled.

This felt so awkward I really wanted to leave.

"Can we talk later?".. He blurted out.

"Uh I guess so".. I muttered..

"How about tonight around six?" He asked.

"Okay Blake, I have to go I'm pretty much starving."

I miss you.. Blake started to say something than he kissed me.

I nearly stumbled into the lady behind me.

"What-" I started to say before he cut me off.

"I'm sorry Skyler, I'll see ya tonight" and then he bolted out the door.

I stood there stunned, having him kiss me like that ruined my plans on trying to let go of him, but now...

I felt like crying. 

I took my items to check out and headed home.
______________

Blake was standing in my driveway when I got back to the house.

Does he ever give up?  I asked myself..

"Hey."I told him as I got out of the car.

"Skyler I was thinking maybe we could just hang out now."

I was getting annoyed, he disappears and then shows up after an entire month.

"OK, I guess so."

"I guess we have catching up to do since you decided to ignore me for a month. " I said in a condescending tone.
I made my way to the kitchen and sat everything down and stared st him angrily.

"You have nothing to say to that?" I challenged stepping right up to him.

Blake looked away for a moment and I knew what was was coming soon, it was the calm before the storm.

"After Evan died you disappeared, I heard nothing from you and I went to see you and your mom said you were staying with relatives."

"I had to take a break from everything." He spoke softly looking down and then he stepped closer his face inches from mine..

"I missed you." He came even closer..He started kissing my neck.

"Blake stop."I told him trying to get out of his grip.

"No."He breathed.

I shoved him away from me. The look in his eyes scared me after he realized what I just did.

"You don't leave and come back and act like nothing happened!" I yelled and I shoved him again towards the door.

"Just go. " I told him.

"I'm not going anywhere."he said quietly.

Blake walked towards me grabbed my hand and took me into my bedroom all the way upstairs..

"Stop it!" I demanded.

He threw me on the bed. "We need to make up for lost time."

"You can't fix this with trying to charm me into bed with you."I got up to go and he stepped in front of me..

"I love you Skyler."

"No you're wrong.. You love yourself.. You don't care about me or anyone else. You don't know what love is Blake. "

"You're wrong Skyler and I won't lose you."

"You can't lose what you've never had Blake. "

"You're mine."He smirked as if he won a prize.

"You never wanted to commit Blake, you put me on a back burner. Guess what I'm done now. "

"What are you talking about?"

You didn't want to be with just me, you were afraid you would have to give up sleeping around.

"I don't want that Blake, I want to be first.I don't want to be just some random girl that means nothing to you."

I need you Skyler, I'm done.. I just want us.

"Blake how many girls numbers are on your phone?

"What?  Why?.."

I was doing my best to hold back tears...

Blake sighed..

"I'll delete them."

"How many?"

Blake looked at his phone, he hesitated...

"127" he stared at his phone..

Ok.. I felt a tear slide down my cheek.

"Skyler."

"Go Blake."

"I'm serious, I want us to be together."

"Delete every number then."

"Huh?"  He looked as if he was just hit in the chest.

"How about deleting just one."

"Who?"he looked a little confused now.

"Mine. " I said calmly and walked out of the room.
