Scars To Your Beautiful

Chapter 16

   Eva's Pov..

What the?!... I swore loudly at the pain in my head,causing me to let out a painful grunt.

  Immediately,i felt arms wrap around me,rubbing soothing circles on my back.

I pried my eyes open,only to meet face to face with Keith.

Adjusting myself so i was no longer in his arms,i shot him a questioning gaze.

  "You passed out in the hallway after Alex pushed you to the lockers", he said clenching his jaw in what i suppose to be anger.

  "I recommend that you go home as soon as possible,so you can get the adequate amount of rest",the nurse said handing me a permission slip.

   "I'll take you home", Keith said,helping me stand to my feet,his arm clutching my waist, while i held on to his shoulder for support.

   The halls were cleared of all people,I'm guessing they were all in class, so that means Keith didn't go to class because of me.

   "Keith, you're not in class?", i asked,stating the obvious.
 
   Groaning, i snuck a peek at him,to see him smiling,probably amused because of me.

'captain obvious,i didn't notice", he said chuckling a bit.

   I rolled my eyes at his obvious attempt to make fun of me.

  "Just wanted to make sure you're okay and all", he said,nervously running a hand through his hair.

  "Well... Thanks", i said blushing,as he stared at me intently.

  The ride to my house was quiet,but not the awkward kind of quiet, it was the comfortable type which i loved.

   Sooner than i thought,we had pulled up in front of my driveway,before i could even open the door, Keith had already gotten down from his side of the car,coming over to my side to open the door for me,and help me down.

   Once inside the house,i turned to him with a questioning gaze in my eyes.

   "Aren't you supposed to be on your way back to school?",i asked as i sat down on the couch staring up at him.

   "Yes,but....",he started,waving a yellow paper which looked exactly like the permission slip the nurse had given me.

  "She said i could have the day off too",he said,grinning sheepishly before crashing down next to me on the couch,making it bounce slightly.

   "So what do you wanna do?", i asked, after a minute a silence between us.

   "Well i can't go home yet,neither can i leave you here, so lets just watch movie",he said getting comfy on the couch.

   I was picking out the movie, when Keith showed up with his arms full of junk food.

  My mouth was hanging open as i stared at all the yummy goodness in front of me.

   Packets of Lays chips,Pringles, skittles, Mars, kitkats,popcorn,a carton of coke,and a bucket of ice cream... Stared back at me... When did we get all these yummy goodness??.. I thought..

   ''Sorry about this",he said gesturing to the food as he placed them on the table.

   "Actually I'm just in shock... When did my mum get all this and i wasn't informed'', i said my face scrunching up in confusion.

   "Actually, i got the lays and chocolates from my car, you had the rest in your cupboard",he said plopping down on the couch.

  Chuckling, i finally decided on the movie for us to watch.... 'Mulan'...
What??, I love disney..

  I sat next to Keith,a chuckle escaping my lips, as i heard him groan as the movie started.

  But surprisingly,he didn't argue for me to change it.

  Throwing a blanket over us, i snuggled into the couch more,my body occasionally leaning on Keith's.

   To my surprise,he just wrapped an arm around me, pulling me closer to him...

  I couldn't focus on the movie,i was too aware of the strong arm wrapped tightly around me. At some point, i felt him sniff my hair, his hot minty breath fanning my neck,sending shivers down my body.

   I looked up to see Keith really concentrated on the movie,as if he was sucked in by it.

   Huh!.. Looks as if someone's a Disney fan too.. I chuckled inwardly.

   I was still staring at him when he suddenly looked down at me,our eyes locking instantly, making my breath hitch.

   I could swear that he could see the redness on my face.. We held each others gaze for a while, until he spoke, breaking the silence.

  "Eva?!..", he said, his voice sounding nervous, distant and pained.

   "Y-yes?", i stuttered.. What's wrong with me?, why I'm i so jittery whenever I'm next to Keith.

   "I want to kiss you...",he said still staring at me intently.

  "W-what?!", i said, a shocked expression visible on my face.

  "Can i?", he asked leaning closer to me.

  "Y-yes",i whispered just as our lips touched,sparks flying everywhere. Our lips moved in sync, i felt as if i had gone to paradise and back.

  I had never felt like this whenever i kissed Alex. Right now i felt the butterflies flying around in my stomach, creating a tingling sensation all the way.

   "I'm sorry",he said as soon as we pulled away,our breaths rapid as we gasped for air.

   "Don't be, I loved it",i said smashing my lips on his again,this time i felt a smirk on his lips as our tongues fought for dominance. His eventually won. His arm tightened around my waist as he laid me down on the couch,never for once breaking the kiss.

   Right now,the movie was forgotten, all we cared about was each other,as we got lost in the passion of each others lips.

   We both broke apart smiling at each other.

    "Eva,i really like you, i have liked you for a very long time, but i couldn't tell you because you were already with Alex by the time i had gathered courage to tell you. I know you just got out of a bad relationship, but I'm willing to wait for you,no matter how long it would take", he said gently stroking my cheeks.

   "K-keith..", i managed to breath out,as i was still breathless from the kiss.

   "Like you said,i just got out of a relationship and it didn't end well, I'm not ready to get into any relationship right now", i said.

  "And like i said before, i would wait for you no matter how long it would take", he said again smiling.

  I returned his smile with one of my own.

  'If only i had been with Keith from the starting'..... I thought as we refocused on the movie,with me resting my head on his shoulder, and his arm around me..
