BEING HALSEY

CHAPTER 28

Tray guides my body in the right way, his two arms around me. Butterflies attack my stomach in full force and i look up behind to see his eyes deeply concentrated in what he's doing.

I gulp, my heart beating like a sledge hammer.

His muscles press against my back and i wish i could stay like this forever. My eyes find the target and i shoot the arrow right in the middle of the yellow circle.

Bull's eye!

"Congratulations," the girl behind the booth says. " Here is your teddy bear." She says and shoves it in my arms. I look at her dumbfounded as i move away from Tray's arms and turn around to face him.

"Can we talk?" He asks and i shake my head No.

As much as i want to give in and hear him out, i just don't want to. I'm here to have a great time with my friends and i won't let anything ruin that. He can't just show up and expect me to nod at everything he says.

"Please"

"No." I say with a raised voice but he doesn't let go.

"Umm, I'll leave you guys to talk." Polly says and winks.

Nooooo... don't go...

I walk over to the other side.

"Where are you going?" Tray asks as he quickly catches up with me.

"None of your business."

"If i buy you ice cream will you here me out then?"

Yasssss!

I want to say no but this is ice cream we're talking about. You can't say no.

"Ok." I nod as he laughs and slightly shakes his head.

We come to a halt infront of a mini ice cream palour and i resist the urge to run over and grab two.

"Can i have a chocolate one." I say as Tray pays for it. He orders a vanilla one.

"Thank you."

I lick the ice cream and its heaven.

"Why are you here with her?" I ask and regret why I've asked such a stupid childish question. I look the other way.

"With who? Latifa?" I cock an eyebrow at him.

"Wait, why are you giving me that look?"

" What look?"

"This look." He says and cocks his eyebrow.

I can't help but laugh.

"If i ask you to do something, will you do it?" I ask him and he nods.

"Could you please just stop hanging out with her."

"What do you mean?"

I want you to stop hanging out with her because I'm jealous!

"You know what, just forget it." I tell him but he grabs my hand and pulls me close to his chest.

"If that's what you want me to do then I'll do it. I'm so sorry for what i said and did okay?"

I nod.

"So am I forgiven?" He asks and i bite my cheek from laughing.

"Yes. And fuck you for making me cry."

"I'm sorry but...." he leans and whispers, " you do want me to fuck you right?"

My jaw literally falls on the ground.

"Tray!!!!" I yell out and he smirks.

"So what am i now? Your girlfriend?" I ask.

"Pfft," he licks his ice cream, "Is that even a question?"

The butterflies in my stomach multiply.

It's official, We are a couple!

🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹

My window is open the minute i finish brushing my teeth. That's strange because i left it close. I quickly walk over to shut it when someone pushes me out and then catches me at the same time.

I try to scream but a hand covers my mouth.

"Stop screaming, you'll wake up your dad." Tray says and i push him with my elbows.

"You scared me." I shout right back at him and sit on the bed. "Don't ever do that."

"Relax, it was a prank."

I mimick his words in my head and roll my eyes.

"And what are you doing here?" I ask.

"Nothing." He shrugs and sits beside me.

"Nothing? Could you please go and let me sleep." I yawn at him.

"No, I'm sleeping with you today." He says and starts taking off his shoes.

He places them neatly under my bed and pulls the covers.

"You coming?" He asks and pats the empty space.

I can't believe I'm doing this.

"What about my dad? what if he finds you here?"

" Quit worrying. I won't stay the whole night. I just want to smell your hair and hold you."

I blush. This is too much for me.

"And it's not like it's the first time I'm sharing a bed with you."

" Fine." I walk over and lay on his chest, inhailing his beautiful scent.

A scent I can't describe with words.
