THE HEART WANTS WHAT IT WANTS ♡

chapter 16: sadness

I walked into school and went to my home class which was surprisingly empty. I sat down in my desk and took out my phone. I was just scrolling through Instagram when I got a message from an unknown number.

Unknown

Hey Gray

You in home class?

sorry , who's this ?

It's Jesse. I got your number
from Levona :)

* changes contact name to Jesse ♡ *

Jesse ♡

yeah why

I'm on my way :)

Moments later he entered the classroom. I stood up and walked towards him. He then engulfed me in a hug and I obviously hugged back. I didn't wanna let go, I felt comfort in his arms.

We then separated and he took that as the perfect chance to plant a quick kiss on my cheek.

My eyes widened at the sudden contact and my face turned a dark shade of red.

"W-what was t-that for?" I asked, feeling very flustered.

"I couldn't resist." he responded. We both just giggled afterwards.

But I couldn't help but ponder at the thought that he kisses me but we aren't dating yet. I know he wasn't completely comfortable with a relationship but I hope he overcomes that insecurity.

"So what are you doing?" he asked as he sat down next to me.

"Nothing really, I was just scrolling through ig. I have no idea where my friends are so I thought I'd wait here for them." I responded as I pocketed my phone.

"Wanna go look for them?" he asked.

"Nah, I'd rather stay here, with you." I said, slightly mumbling the last part.

"Aww sweet." he said. "And yes I heard that." he said with a wink.

I didn't verbally respond but my cheeks were a response enough.

We continued talking for a while but I couldn't help but get distracted at the subtle actions he did mid conversation, such as pushing his hair back and biting his lip. I felt like I was gonna combust right there and then. This boy had such a big effect on me.

Jesse's POV:

During my long conversation with Gray I noticed how he was watching every little action I was doing from pushing my hair back to biting my lip. I saw how entranced he looked but at the same time a little flustered. It made me feel good that I had such an effect on him.

Every now and then my eyes would move from his beautiful purple eyes to his slightly plump lips without me even knowing. I wanted to capture those lips in mine.

* bell rings indicating the start of the day *

At that moment our home class teacher walked in. There's never one day he's late.
