My Tough Love

I like you

"I don't know ."

"Where is this coming from?" He asked rubbing his forehead.

"From a person who wants to know if it's all lust or if there's more to it." I said crossing my arms.

"Mel, letting someone in is not easy, after what happened."

"So the whole kissing and games were just that, games."

"Isn't that what you wanted, to play games." He said in a serious tone.

"I was trying to cross a point that I like you. You are the one that has my attention ever since we were sixteen. But of course you were clueless to take the hints."

"Sorry for not wanting to risk my friendship with you." he said taking a step back.

"By the time I finally got the courage to tell you how I felt, you were locking lips with Lisa."

"If it makes you feel any better , i wished I never dated her." He sighed.

"Will you ever trust me with your feelings?" I said grabbing his hand.

"Mel, put yourself in my position." He sighed.

"You need to let someone in, what happened with your ex is in the past."

"Yeah, I know." He said rubbing his forehead.

"So." I said.

"Can we talk about this another time, feels like things moved too fast with the whole teasing game." With that being said he left.

So many emotions. He needs to let someone in, And I won't stop till I get what i want.

And that's him.

I made my way to class and he was sitting there already.

"Why are you late, Miss Bellisario." The professor asked.

"Because i bumped into hot trouble." I said with a grin.

"I won't ask, go take a seat."

"Hey you, what did I missed." I asked nonchalant.

"Hot trouble." He said raising an eyebrow.

"Yup, have you seen yourself." I said smirking.

What, you thought i was gonna cry in the lockers. Nah i don't roll that way, well at least not anymore, i like a challenge and Damon just happens to be that.

"Thought you would be mad for walking away." He said.

I leaned in and said, "I like you, don't think for a second you are getting rid of me." I pecked his lips and turned my attention to the the professor.

Damon was smiling, have i mentioned his dimples. Ugh freaking adorable.

It's true Damon affected me a lot when he was with Carla, I cried and couldn't tell him how I felt cause I was scared.

But after the first time he made a move and kissed my neck, Made me think why not play his same teasing game.

And also talking to my dad, he advised me to never give up, take risk no matter how bold they are. And ever since the teasing game, i gained confidence so i wasn't afraid to show Damon that i want him.

At least the jerk part vanished.

"Thanks." He said.

"You're welcome." I smiled at him.
