Elite S1 - Ander

~Chapter 14~

  The next day at school I was avoiding Ander all day. He didn't try to talk to me either. I didn't know if that made me happy or not. If he'd reached the same conclusion as me after what happened...
  The school day had just ended and I was chatting with Lu.
  "Is Guzman ok? He doesn't talk much to me lately. I suspect it's about that girl. Nadia. Nothing stops her."
  I wasn't really paying attention to what she was saying. I was just walking beside her.
  "Hey" she snapped her fingers in front of my face.
"Oh sorry. What were you saying?" I asked as soon as I snapped back to reality.
  "What's wrong with you today? We haven't talked since the event, did something happen?"
I knew she was concerned, but I just didn't have the strength to tell her anything.
  "Yes I'm fine... I'm just a little tired" I saw Ander passing by "I have to go"
  I ran after him. I reached him outside the school and grabbed his hand.
  He seemed startled to see me.
  "We must talk"
  He smiled. Not smirked, but smiled. As if he was really happy that I wanted to talk to him. As if he didn't expect it, but he was glad about it. "Ok.. tell me what is it?" He asked. His smile was welcoming.
  Did he think that what a I wanted to talk about was something good? Maybe he wanted us to end things.
  "I can't tell you here. It's important, can we meet today?"
  "I'm busy all day. I have my first practice after a week, and a doctor appointment. My dad won't let me rest" he seemed sorry that he could not meet me today "but, tomorrow afternoon my parents won't be home until late. Do you want to come over?"
  "Ok. So we'll talk tomorrow."
  I didn't give him time to say anything else, I just left.
 
  When I got home I tried to talk to Marina. I didn't make it. She was distant and disrespectful. I didn't know what was bothering her. But since she wouldn't deign to talk to me, I wouldn't care. Or act like it.
  We hadn't talked about her with Samuel. Maybe I had to ask him.
 
  The only think I could think about was Ander and how I'd tell him tomorrow. And what I'd do afterwards. Without him...
  It wasn't the way it should've happened. He wasn't supposed to become essential to me. I knew it would wreck me to stop seeing him. To stop feeling him...
  I didn't know why. I didn't want to admit it to myself.
 
  I called Lu. I wanted to stop thinking about Ander. And also I had left her today without even saying goodbye.
  Fortunately she wasn't mad. She again tried to get me to tell her what was wrong with me, but I didn't tell her.  She knew it was about Ander, for sure.
  Instead, I let her fill me in on what I'd missed these days. What was going on between Carla and Polo- and Christian- what Nadia had done and how Guzman acted towards her. We talked for about an hour.
  When we hang up, I fell asleep. Only that way my feelings would really stop bothering me.

The next day at school I noticed Carla, Polo and Christian having an intense conversation. At first I thought it would be about their weird relationship, but when I went closer I heard something about a watch.
  They were accusing Christian that he'd stolen Carla's dad's watch?
  I paid a little attention to their conversation, because I'd heard my dad last night on the phone, talking about something similar. Probably with Carla's dad.
  I saw Marina listening to them too. I went near her. "Do you know what this is about?"
  "No." She said without looking at me. She was texting someone. She saw me looking at her phone and closed it immediately. But I'd managed to see who she was talking to.
  "Are you texting Nano?" I asked surprised. And confused.
  She looked at me with irritation on her face. "Shh! Lower your voice! It's none of your business. So don't tell anyone about it." She glanced one last time towards the trio and left. What the hell...
 
  In class, I sat next to Samuel. I ignored the look Guzman gave us. Marina didn't even notice.
  "Hey" I said, while we were both looking at Martin. "What's going on with Marina?"
  "I don't know. She acts weirdly after... after we had our first time" Oh.. "I didn't think I'd be that bad" he said with a sad smile.
  "I don't think it's about that though" I added with a sigh, "if you learn anything, please tell me"
  "I will. Same goes to you"
  "Iréne, Samuel. Be quiet back there." Martin said without looking at us.
  Ander gave me a weird look, which I also ignored.
  I continued talking to Samuel. "So about the problem with your brother..."
  "It's fine." He quickly said.
  So he didn't want to talk about it. I respected that.
  "What's going on with Ander?" He said more quietly.
  "I'm going to tell him today" it hurt once more to even think about it.
  "I hope-"
  "Kids! I said quiet. Don't make me send you to the principal" Martin said now looking at us.
  We shut up.

  When I got home after school, I texted Ander.
  When can I come?
  My parents are leaving in about fifteen minutes. Come whenever you want.
  Ok I'll be there in thirty minutes
 
  When some time passed, I started walking to his house.
  The first thing I saw when I reached it, was a shirtless Ander, watering the plants with the hose. And watering himself.
God he looked so damn hot. Why was he doing that to me?   It took a lot of effort not to leap on him and fuck him in the middle of his garden.
  When he saw me, he smiled and dropped the hose. "Hey" not surprisingly, he was smirking.
  "You need a towel" I told him smiling, while he was nearing me.
  He just smiled at me and shook his head like a dog, spraying the water from his hair everywhere.
  "Ander!" I yelled while laughing and backing away from the droplets of water that hit me.
  He was laughing too "sorry, the temptation was too big"
  He put his arms around my waist and kissed me softly. I let him. I let him because I couldn't resist. And I let him because I knew we couldn't do that ever again.
  When we withdrew, my smile had faded at the thought.
  He lifted my chin with his finger and looked me in the eyes. "What's wrong?"
  "We need to talk"
  "Let's go inside" his smile hadn't faded completely. Did he not even suspect what I wanted to tell him?
  Finally, he grabbed a towel and dried himself. So damn hot..
  If he kept doing that I wouldn't be able to tell him anything.
  We went to his room. He once again put his arms around my waist.
  "Ander stop... we need to talk.." my command was weak even to me, since his presence and his hands on my body had that effect on me.
  His hands started roaming lower and cupped my butt, while he planted soft kisses on my neck.
  I moaned his name.
  My hand were at his back and his hair. How i'd miss to play with his beautiful curls.
  That thought reminded me the reason I was there, the same moment he pushed me against the wall.
  It took all the effort in the world to push him away softly. He looked at me, trying to understand what was wrong.
  "Ander... you know why I'm here. You know what I want to talk about."
  He looked at the floor. "Yes...". He sat on his bed.
  I sat next to him. "Ander.." he looked at me, knowing what was coming next. "we can't keep seeing each other...." And like that, my heart was shredded in a million tiny pieces...
