Desires

•CHAPTER XL•

"We should get ready for school, I don't want to be late." I say after we laid there for another half an hour. Mainly for me to catch up on more sleep due to my nightmare.
He reluctantly pull my arms away from him and walk toward my bathroom.
"I'll be waiting for you outside." He says and swiftly stands in front of me like the speed of light.
His hands find my waist and I smile up at him.

He's quite possibly the most gorgeous being I've ever set eyes on.

"See you later okay?" He says and plants a kiss on my head. I look back up at him, feeling like an innocent that has been lifted by angel wings.
I blink and before I know it, the window is left wide open with the cool sensation of the breeze and no Romeo in front of me.

After my shower I get changed and put a jacket around my shoulders. I grab my bag and slide on my vans before stepping out of the house. My mother is no where to be found, but her car isn't there in the garage or driveway meaning that she must have taken off early. Probably eager to see Jack.

Just as I step out of the house and turn back around after locking the door, I'm faced with the familiar black jaguar and a fresh faced Romeo dressed in a form fitting shirt with his sleeves rolled up, showing his toned arms noted with veins, and his hands tucked into his pocket.
I can't help but smile and walk over to him, standing on the tips of my toes to kiss him on his lips due to our height difference. He smirks and whizzes around to the passenger seat to open the door for me.
Chivalry isn't dead after all.

I text the twins letting them know that I've got a ride to school so I don't feel so bad if they're waiting around for me.
I feel sort of proud. I've got a ride to school with my boyfriend-
Well he's not really my boyfriend. I can't call him that, though I would love to.

As I look at him now, with his strong fingers wrapped around the steering wheel and his perfect profile, with his God-like nose and an angled lips, I really wish he was my boyfriend.

"What are you looking at?" He asks and chuckles. I blink and look ahead, then back at him with a smile across my cheeks.
"Nothing." I lie and look out the window, trying to hide my grin though my reflection betrays me.
"What is it? Am I missing something?" He laughs.
I pause before I speak. "I'm just wondering..."
I hesitate.
"...what we are?" I finish and look back at him, not wanting to miss his facial expression.
He shrugs and taps his hand on the wheel.
"What would you tell your friends if they asked?" He said.
It's my turn to shrug now.
"I guess I would deny all accusations."
"With that smile?"
I've been caught, I playfully hit him in his arm and we both laugh.

This rising of a bubbly feeling bursts inside me. I haven't felt like this ever in my life. It's like I feel complete and I wish this would last forever. That this road would go on as long as time and never end.

We arrive at school, I see all the faces of the students looking at me through the window. They're surprised. Not because there's another girl in his car, but because there's a girl that he's taken to school.

We step out of the car, he makes it to my door before I can get out and I thank him.
I see Charlie and the twins, standing at the front of the entrance looking at me with smirks on their faces.
"I'll see you later." He says and squeezes my hand before turning toward his classes.
"Bye." I whisper, knowing he can hear and I walk over to my friends.

"Hey guys." I say brightly and Charlie raises her brows.
"Well hello there." I can see the grin she's suppressing and we giggle whilst the twins roll their eyes.
"Have you guys heard from coach?" I ask.
Levi shakes his head. "The notices are coming out at lunch."
"It's all I've been thinking about." Cole says.
"Guys, don't be so nervous. You guys are going to be fine I bet you've made it." Charlie reassured them and I agree.
"So are we going to address the giant ass elephant in this room?" Levi says and folds his arms.
"What?" I ask as we sit at the back of class. I know what he's going to ask.
"Well, did you and Romeo...you know...do anything?" Charlie says and I frown.
"What? No! Oh my god no! Is that what everyone thinks?" I ask.
They shrug. "Well it's weird that he drove you to school. Everyone thinks you guys spent the night."
"Well we did."
Their eyes widen.
"Not in that way!" I blush with embarrassment.
"What do you mean? You guys didn't-" Cole starts.
"No!" I half shout, getting redder and redder.
Charlie places a hand on her chest and sighs dramatically. "Phew! You had me thinking all sorts there Azra."
"So he didn't do anything?" Cole asks.
I shake my head. "He's actually not like that at all."
They all frown with confusion.
"As long as you're fine and do what you want to do." Levi says.
"And with protection." Charlie adds and I blush even more giving her a wack on the arm earning laughs from the twins and a shush from the teacher.

These topics aren't exactly new to me. I've heard them with other people but it's never ever involved me. Now it's my turn and I'm as red as a beetroot, to my embarrassment. The butterflies that roam in my chest are shrilling and flapping their thin wings with my heartbeat. Knowing that this is their opportunity to have a purpose, to make me feel bashful and expose me to beings with the abilities that Romeo has. I'm hoping that he can't hear my heartbeat even if he's classes away.
