iLOVE YOU (You Series #2)

Chapter 42

The drive to school was quite intense and insane. Kent wouldn't stop throwing me some lustful glances while smiling like a baby raccoon.

There was a moment he was holding on to my thigh and wasn't let go.

All I did was froze.

He would grab my hand and kiss the back of my hand and the smile at me. Every time he did that, I just wanted more. I wanted more of him.

Kent pulled over at the school parking lot and we both got out of the car, grabbing our backpacks.

I could already feel eyes on us but I tried not to look bothered because Kent didn't look bothered.

I really didn't know why they had to stare for heaven's sake.

Kent turned around the front of the car to join me where I was standing and grabbed my hand. I tried to make him let go but he wouldn't. I really couldn't stand all the staring but Kent didn't seem to find anything wrong with it.

He brought my hand up and then checked my other hand. I wondered what he was looking for. I could see that look of disappointment on his face and then I realized what he was looking for.

"You're not wearing it today too?" He questioned.

I huffed. I actually forgot to use it and I was already getting used to not wearing the bracelet. "I don't have to put it on all the time. I just don't want to loose it"

He narrowed his eyes at me, almost looking like he was searching for sincerity in my eyes.

"Okay" he finally said and pulled me along with him as I reluctantly followed. "Stop resisting babe, it's inevitable"

Why me?

We stepped into the school hallway and I froze when I saw everyone. I suddenly felt my little confidence disappeared.

I wanted to run away but I couldn't, Kent was holding me so tight that I couldn't break free from his hold.

He pulled me closer and snaked his arm around my waist and I just wanted the hallway floor to swallow me. I didn't dare to look up.

I could hear whispers and slight giggles as we walked by. I just couldn't help but look over my shoulder every damn second while chewing on my bottom lip.

Kent was used to all the attention especially when he was with Tia. They didn't care. They were the popular guys, so the staring wasn't new to them. But for me, it was something. Something scary and intimidating. I should have been used to it by now but I just wasn't. I wasn't the 'attention seeker' kind of person.

It was what I had always wanted. Just him. And now that I had him, it felt like I had too much on my plate.

"Alex" I heard a familiar voice called. I looked up to see Emma walking towards I and Kent. I suddenly felt a little bit at ease since I finally got an excuse to run away from Kent.

"I have to go now, I'll see you later" I said as I tried to run away but he pulled me back and spun me around. My chest immediately came in contact with his that I could feel his heartbeat. I stared at him wide-eyed and then blinked.

What is he doing? I gave him a questioning look.

Before I could figure out what was going on in his head, he pressed his lips against mine. It took me a moment before I forgot everything around us and kissed him back. I wanted to pull away, I wanted to kick him so hard and question why he always had to do that; but I couldn't because I wasn't scared. I wasn't shy. I wasn't bothered about what everyone there would say. You know why? Because I was freaking kissing Kenton Harris - the boy that I was in love with. So...I just enjoyed the moment.
