Chapter 26

Laila POV

I sat on my bed staring at the ceiling but my thought was somewhere far away. I can't keep what happens between me and Jason out of my head.

The kiss.

My first kiss.

The way his tongue moved on mine is like it was meant for each other. It is a feeling I can never forget.

Just the thought of his hand on my body makes all the hair on my body rise and make my stomach churn. His hand brought this warmth to my body. And I smile remembering the feeling.

I discover something about what happened today. First, I like Jason.

Yeah, he is a jerk and he had done a lot of stupid and bad things to me and other kids in the past. But it is his past and he can't change that. No-one can. He just had to learn to be better and try to make up for all the bad things he had done and for those he had wronged.

I once dislike him for all that he did but I also can't control the feeling I am having for him. I just couldn't hate him. Instead, my feelings for him grow stronger and I can't stop it.

How does someone get to have feelings that can't be controlled? But I do have them and I just have to learn to accept the feeling.

Because I can't tell my heart who to love.

And then is his emotion.

He always believes he can't feel anything than anger and coldness. But he is wrong and my doubt was proven right. I felt something during the kiss. He felt it too. I know that. It was undeniable. The spark between us. He might not feel what I feel for him or what I was feeling but I know he felt something.

I'm sixteen and I'm not supposed to be thinking of this but I can't help it. I just had my first kiss at sixteen. And I do not regret doing it. I do not regret any moment of it. I love it.

I just hope Jason felt the same. I don't know how I will face him tomorrow if he will mock me with it.

He is arrogant and you can't tell what is going on in his head of his. But I wish he won't mock me with it.

When he kissed me, I should have stopped him. But I couldn't stop it because I was too weak to and I also did...... not want to.

I was woken up from my thought when I heard footsteps. I look at the door and it opens revealing my aunty. Her stomach is protruded

"You are still awake." She said. I nodded and sit up. I don't want to look like I am disrespecting her. "Femi is coming tonight."

I shrug." Okay." I replied. I don't have any problem with her fiancé. The man is very nice. He is also educated and I learn a lot from him when he speaks.

And also their room is a distance away from mine, so I won't hear if they are doing anything or saying anything. Which is good for me.

She nods and left the room after saying Goodnight. She close the door gently behind her and I lay back on my bed before sleep took over.

~ Jason ~

The school is empty when I left. I took the public bus home. I want freedom right now that is why I didn't call my driver. He had taken Christian home earlier today. He had an errand to run for his mother after school.

I feel free since I did not receive any attention from people. Only a few people look at me because of my uniform.

Everyone knows that children that attend Luminary High School are wealthy kids so it's a little strange to see a student from the school on a public bus.
