Just Stop It

chapter 4 frienemy

Julia and her friends are in the hallway. Leni chose to sit at the ledge that separates the hallway from the outer gardens of the campus. It isn't allowed but there are no teachers around so often they would do that. 

Julia tired of seating down on the floor stood up and clutching at the ledge she lifts herself so she too can sit on the ledge. 

Liam looked at the group laughing on the other side of the building. Seeing that it is Julia and her friends he chose to walk their way. 

"Oh..Oh... here comes your boyfriend," Leni commented when he sees Liam walking their way. 

"He's not my boyfriend, he's my mortal frienemy". Julia countered. Her friends laughed at that.

"That is not what I've heard from everyone. It seems that Liam have made it known to everybody that you two are together." Leni explained. 

"Hi, there sweetheart," Liam said. But Julia just shot him a killer look. Liam just smiled at her showing his dimples on both cheeks. It always irritates her when he does that. It seems that he thought he can easily get away from anyone by just using his dimples. 

But before she can say anything, Liam came closer to where she is seated, and with a gleam in his eyes, he put himself between her legs hold her waist and lean towards her. She leans back to get herself away from him but it only puts her at a disadvantage position, her butt is not on the ledge anymore. She is now clutching at Liam's arms as she tried not to outbalance herself and falls to the ground head first. 

Liam smiling at her predicament asked. "Say yes, you will go with me to a movie". 

"No and I'm not your sweetheart." She said at him as she put her arms around his neck so she wouldn't fall and also that if she does, he would go with her. Her friends are laughing while looking at them. And at the same time wished that it were them at Liam's arms. Liam is a handsome guy, popular, rich, and has a lot of sense of humor that they wondered why their friend couldn't see that in him. 

"Then there's nothing I can do but release you," Liam answered and slackened his hold on her waist. Julia shouted, but it only added to the amusement her friends has found her situation in. 

"Common, babe please say yes," Liam asked again with a smirk on his face. 

Julia chose not to answer him, but tried to regain control of the situation by pulling herself on the ledge again but it brought her only closer to Liam as he leans at her and holding her tight so she would not dislodge from his hold and fall to the ground. It may just be four feet high but still it will hurt.  

Struggling that she wouldn't fall she clung to Liam's neck as she tried to put her butt back to the ledge unaware that she is also pulling Liam much closer to her. She noticed too late that Liam's face is on her neck and she can feel his lips on her skin. And that her chest is touching him too. His other hand is on her butt. Maybe, so she wouldn't fall. 

It was at that moment that she's aware of him as a person and not as a pest. She can smell his cologne which she found nice, and clutching at his biceps she can feel the hard muscles he has there too. And his eyes were the same color as the sky on a bright cloudless sky. And his lips were beautifully shaped too. 

This information was too much for her that she tried her best to wiggle herself out from his grasp. Everything was getting ridiculous that she decided to push him away from her and slide herself to the ground. 

"My goodness, do you have to do that, so you can ask me to a movie?" she shouted when she's finally on the ground. And before he can answer she punched him on his biceps which hurt her fingers but give her enough satisfaction as she gathered her bag and left.
