Stuck In Reverse (#wattys2018)

(11) "....five minutes."

Media: he is hot and can dance... Too much for me, I swear.

KILLIAN

I gritted my teeth angrily, my hands tightly and unbelievably fisted at my side.

How dare she refer to me as her driver?
Did I, in anyway look like a driver?

She smirked, gently tracing the collar of my suit and waiting for the prick's reply.

I honestly had no idea why I had gotten mad at the mention of her boyfriend in the first place, bacause I knew we had settled the fact that we didn't love each other (even though that was not in any way true on my side), and had decided that we would still date whoever we wanted.

I just couldn't stop myself and I knew I had to follow her, praying silently that this lifetime's boyfriend wasn't 'him'.

I was doing her a favour and she thanked me by referring to me as her fucking driver!

"Ugh.... We don't need any stupid and dumb third party for this date Leah." I heard the fool's voice and I growled angrily, making Leah unconsciously bite her lips anxiously.

I was so going to punch the fool to the point of being hospitalized!

"Yea... I know," she turned to look at me and I looked away angrily.

"I have no choice in this Drake, I'm sorry." she pleaded.

I closed my eyes and tuned out of their conversation, not wanting to hear anymore, afraid of what I may do if I heard her speak with so much love to him.

30 minutes later.

I remained expressionless as I maneuvered my way through the traffic-less highway, the silence in the car matching my mood perfectly.

I could feel her glance at me almost every minute but, I remained indifferent to her.

My mind was too occupied, trying to figure out if it would be 'him' and what I would do if it was.

Through out our lives, there had always been that annoying prick who didn't want us to be together, that prick who wanted her for himself even though he knew she felt nothing for him.

I promised myself long ago that I would make sure our life ended just right this time, though now I had second thoughts.

How was our life supposed to end well if she didn't even know me? If she didn't remember at all?

At least she always had a clue in our former lives, but now, it was like a lost hope.

But, I would never give up on her, never.

I knew I sounded like a fool; letting her go out with her boyfriend even though she had a fiancé but I had to check out if we were safe this life.

I had to ensure her safety in everything.

"Are you alright?" I heard her guilt ridden voice and I turned to her sharply, surprised at her words.

She bit her lips anxiously, fiddling with her fingers, her eyes filled with worry.

I sighed and gave a sharp nod before turning back to face the road ahead of us.

I gripped the steering wheel in a vice-like grip, my lips pulling into my mouth and my mind wandering far into anything, absolutely anything but her.

It was what I had to do, not to turn back to her and kiss her, willingly or not.

After a few more minutes, I finally parked outside the city garden and before I could blink, Leah was out of the car and rushing towards the gate in excitement.

I felt my anger boil and boil to the point that I could literally feel the heat.

"stop!"

I growled angrily and immediately she froze, I bit back a smirk as I walked round her and gripped her shoulder, trying to look for other excuses to get angry at her, except for the fact that she practically forgot about me just to meet her boyfriend.

Then I made the worst mistake ever.

I looked at her.

Her honey wild eyes stared up at me in surprise, her hair blowing with the wind and making her look so ancient and beautiful that unknowingly, my grip on her shoulders tightened and she whimpered in lust.

I closed my eyes for a second, begging my sanity to return to me.

What was this girl doing to me? Just what?!

I gritted my teeth slowly, trying to remember why I held her in the first place.

"Five minutes... I give you five minutes to finish whatever it is you are going to do.." I growled lowly in her ears and she shivered, pilling into me the more.

I expected her to pull away and argue with me but after a minute and nothing happened, I knew she loved this side of me.

I opened my eyes to see her staring intently at me, unmistaken lust filling her eyes, her lower lip pulled into her mouth aggressively.

I felt waves of victory wash over me on the fact that I could affect her just the way she did, me.

On instinct, I pulled her closer, raising my left thumb to release her lips from its captivity before tracing it down the length of her lips, earning a gasp and a lustful shiver from her.

My brain had gone astray far, far ago and I made no move to get them back.

I would give anything, ANYTHING to be in this long awaited moment with Leah.

All I could see was her, she was my world and my light.

Her face glowed as I pulled in gently, almost unnoticeably brushing my lips against hers.

"Killian..." She whimpered and I pulled away from her abruptly.

It was the only warning call and chance to stop what I'd started, what I'd love to end but couldn't.

Her eyes got more and more bigger as she took in what we had just done.

I took a step away from her and turned around, moving towards my car.

"Remember, I give you five minutes..." I muttered, my brain blank.
