THE NERDY GIRL

👀 Chapter 26 -You're Beautiful

"I'm gonna leave now" he announced, coming into the room.

"So early?! I thought you would sleep over! " Travis shouted with hints of excitement in his voice. The boy had fun.

"Yeah, why are you leaving? " Wren added. There was fear in her voice. But she tried to cover it all up. Staying alone with Travis this night and having to keep such secret from him was going to be hard for her. And he knew, he read it from her expression, the forced smile and all.

"I wish I could stay, really. But I have a few things to do at home" his frown deepens. His brows burrows and forehead creased. "I'm sorry " he added as he made a turn for the door.

Wren sensed something was wrong. So she follows him to the exit. He made his way down the lawn, heading to where his car was packed. She followed.

"Hey Tris, " she called. "Anything the matter? " she asked, concerned.

"No, nothing at all. Why would there be?" he feigned a smile that anyone could see was fake. Then he swallowed hard "Just my mom misses me. haha! I'm a bit of a momma's boy, you know. Haha" he sounded like he wanted to convince her that he was okay while really he wasn't.

She sensed that he wouldn't budge, that he was going to keep this up, she she let him off the hook.

"Okay " she said. "Goodnight" she muttered.

"Yeah, goodnight " he replied.

She turned around, going inside when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and it was Tristan. She had a look of surprise on her face.

"Did you forget anything? "

"Uhm, yeah... On your face. I don't think I'll get to do this again" he said as he jammed his lips on hers.

Woah, she didn't expect this...

His lips were soft, they felt so damn good on hers. First of all, they rested on hers peacefully. Like he was asking her permission to go on. She didn't know what to do with these gorgeous lips given she had never kissed a boy and all. She made the move, and her lips made all the wrong moves and she felt embarrassed. He smiled and bit her lower lip...

"What... " she wanted to say as he deepened the kiss. His tongue was fully inside her mouth, savouring, ravaging and causing fire all over her body. This feeling was new and she liked it. She buried her hands into his hair, bringing him close...

"Holy shit. Just get a room" a voice called and they jumped out of each other's body.

Wren felt so embarrassed. Her face was tomato red and she covered her face with her hair.

"You don't need to hide anything about you. You're beautiful " was all he said that that made her stay awake all night, rolling, hitting her pillows, smiling sheepishly to no one in particular.

"Oh my god, Wren. Your glasses. Where are they? " was the first thing Mona said the next morning at the hallway.

"Good morning to you to, Mona" she rolled her eyes. She took few of her books from her locker. They had History together for first period.

"Are you fucking kidding me, spill the beans already! " she sounded impatient.

"The contact lens" she confessed.

Wren had told her about the contact lens awhile ago and how hesitant she was to wear them since she had gotten so attached to her glasses.

"Your eyes are so.. Blue. I'm jealous. You look gorgeous, Wren. Not looking like a geek. " This was meant to amuse Wren but she frowned instead.

"Has that been what you thought of me all these while, Mona? not cool at all"
