Unexpected Love

Chapter 11

"Are you serious?" I say as I collapse in a fit of giggles and Duncan laughs.

"I'm dead serious. Geoff thought the only way we could get out of it, was to throw the spray can at Chef." He was orating one of his many pranks with Geoff, that I'm surprised didn't land him expelled.

Catching my breath, I say, "Wow. How have you not been expelled from this school?"

"Well for a hot second, Geoff's mom was going with Principal McLean, so you could say that influenced him in his punishments." My eyes widen and he shakes his head.

"Yea I'm not sure what she was thinking either."

It's quiet as our laughter dies down and we're just laying on his bed, staring at each other. He gets this look on his face and I can tell he's either going to say or do something, so I sit up.

"Um. The lines?" He bites the inside of his cheek and nods his head.

"Right."

I open up my book and go to one of the beginning scenes, suddenly very interested with learning our lines.

{a/n: for fanfic purposes I'm using the dialogue from the movie, even tho school scripts are always watered down. Bear w/me}

Skimming over the lines briefly, I realize that early on, we already have to kiss.

get a fucking grip Courtney

Duncan looks at me and I start reciting my lines.

"I'm going back to Australia and I might never see you again..." I say and Duncan looks down at his book briefly, before blue eyes meet mine again.

"Don't talk like that Sandy..." He says.

I look down at my book, feeling my face heat up at how his intense his gaze his.

"But it's true. I've just had the best summer of my life and now I have to go away.....it's not fair."

My eyes widen at the parenthetical directly below my line

(Danny lifts Sandy's chin and kisses her, passionately.)

"Uh...Listen we don't have to practice the kissing part. Especially since you have a girlfriend and I'm sure you know how to kiss...and not that I don't want to but..." I'm rambling and I can feel my embarrassment take over.

My mouth needs to take the backseat sometimes.

Duncan shakes his head and smirks.

"We need to give 100% during practice so we give 100% during opening night..." He says and I bite my lip.

"Okay..." I lean forward and give him a peck.

"Princess. You didn't read the directions clearly. It says I kiss you....passionately."

I open my mouth to respond, with what I'm not quite sure when he grabs my jaw and kisses me.

And I'm not quite sure, but I'm pretty sure in the parenthetical it didn't say Sandy and Danny stuck their tongues in each other's mouths.

Not gonna lie, a large fraction of my body and mind was enjoying this. He was a great kisser too. But there was a tiny voice that was trying to knock some sense into me.

Hello Courtney! He is taken.

By someone who already wants to bite your head off.

After a moment of playing good angel/bad angel, the good angel won over and convinced me to pull away, albeit a little late.

Duncan's eyes were glazed over with lust and I pushed some hair behind my ear.

Both of us are silent for a moment. Then Duncan says huskily, "I think we need to practice that again....to be sure we really have it down.."

And I didn't hesitate to lean back in.

good angel  be damned.
