Winter

"We should talk."

"Talk about what?" I asked him, I was still confused about what the two of us would have to discuss.

In a demanding tone was his reply, "Firstly why the hell you were ignoring my calls and texts over the weekend, don't even try to deny it! Secondly I want to know why you were crying suddenly in class."

I was taken aback I didn't think he would notice nor care that I ignored him.

"You noticed? Well didn't expect that. And why I was crying is really none of your concern, Hayes."

He did not need to know about my inner conflicts, he was already too close for my liking. The disappointment was visible but as quickly as I saw it they vanished, Hayes' eyes now void of any emotion.

"You think you can ignore me?" He ripped my right leg that was still underwater up to his waist making a quick splash of water and his hand wander to the top half of my thigh. "No, baby I don't think so." Hayes's lips were just above mine I could feel his breath hit my lips, his head was tilted down.

My mind was still trying to process this position and before I knew it both of my legs were wrapped around Hayes's waist underneath the water. We were at a point in the lake where Hayes could stand on his feet normally but I could, only with a struggle. He just kept on staring at me then switching his gaze to my lips, licking and biting down on his own lower lip while doing so.

The shake of my head made me realize that I should get away from here, from him. Trying to put as much distance between us was harder than ever mainly because his hands wouldn't let go of my top thighs, almost at my butt. This wasn't right, I was not a cheap girl who let boys grope and do what they want with her like other girls, though his han- No, Winter. No! Wrong! "Take your hands off of me this instant Hayes Coleman and let me go!"

It was a moment of weakness when I had let him brush our lips together for a second, before pulling away, unwrapping my legs from his waist and ducking underwater.

What the heck was I thinking? Apparently nothing! This is so awkward, what if someone saw?

A few moments later Hayes pulled me out of the water again holding me once more by my waist against him. "If you wanted to kiss me you could've just asked," he smirked, eyes gleaming with joy. His arrogant little ass needed a beating, I believed and I was more than willing to give it to him.

"You need to get your head out of your butt and check reality, because never would I ever want to kiss you." I defended while trying to get his tight grip on my waist off and not to drown at the same time but they weren't budging even in the slightest!

After finally getting his hands off, rushing out of the lake, and hurriedly putting my clothes on, I was out of the woods after being lost for a very long time.

School was already over about half an hour ago, we were in that forest for a whole lot of time I realized later on. Right now I was sitting on my bed freshly showered and clothed, thinking about what happened today.

Since Hayes decided to take an interest in me, everything just became, weird? In a way it cannot be described, everything just feels different than before. Though I was sure that this wasn't affecting my feelings, romantically. Sure I was attracted to Hayes but who wasn't? That was exactly a reason why I didn't want to get him close, I wasn't up for the drama that came with it.

The time on my nightstand clock read 5:27 pm meaning my family should have been home soon since my parents went shopping after work. I tried to forget all about today, wanting to sleep and not have questions hammering at the back of my head anymore.

I laid under my covers enjoying the warmth and comfort it was spending and soon I was no longer in the real world.

The ringtone of my phone woke me up, still very sleepy I tried to reach for it so I could turn it off and go back to sleep. Again luck was not playing along, as the freaking device wasn't to be found and I was now grumpily awake.

2:53 am said the red letters on the clock when I threw a glance at it.

My phone wasn't ringing anymore but there was this little knock on my window making me feel panicked and slightly frightened as I didn't know if that was still a daze-induced hallucination or not.

I sat straight on my bed with my back against the headboard and my knees pulled up to my chest.

There was this tiny knock again and I knew that I would have to look at what it was, possibly also just because I had to satisfy the curiosity within myself. So taking a deep breath, I made my way over to the window.

Outside the window through which the moonlight beautifully shone, was standing a shadow, a shadow of a guy to be precise. I took a few steps back, now feeling really afraid of who the hell was standing outside my window at almost three in the morning.

When I stepped forward again, the shadow popped out of nowhere in front of my face. Letting out a startled scream I made a run for the door only to trip and fall. Damn this untidy room! Quickly pulling myself up the door was only about two feet away, when suddenly a muscular arm wrapped around my stomach, and a hand was pressed tightly against my mouth.

"Shh, shh! Winter it's me!"

My heartbeat accelerated while my thrashing stopped a little bit.

"If I take my hand away you won't scream alright?" He whispered in my ear causing a shiver to roll down my spine as I frantically nodded.

He slowly let his hands fall from my body taking his time to make sure I wouldn't scream.
