After summer

Chapter 9

Cole's POV

"Did I mean anything to you? " I asked her with so much hope. Hoping that I did mean something to her, hoping that she felt the same way about me.

"No. " she said and removed my hands from her wrists. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have class. " she walked away from me. I kept looking at her until she was out of sight.

Our conversation kept replaying in my mind. I meant nothing to her, I was nothing to her, just a stupid summer fling.

I didn't concentrate at all in class. I had her in mind all day and I wanted to talk to her. I wanted to tell her how I felt, hoping she'll say she feels the same way about me.

I was heading towards my car when I saw her but she wasn't alone. He had his hands around her and I got angry instantly. I couldn't think straight anymore, seeing both of them together made me really angry.

Without thinking I strode towards them and pulled him away from her.

"What the hell man? " he said obviously angry but instead of answering, my fist landed on his jaw and he fell to the floor. I was beyond furious. I picked him up from the floor and punched him again. This time he hit me back, landing a punch on my nose.

The adrenaline in me was pumping, I landed a blow to his stomach and he winced in pain, clutching his stomach. He got up and punched me again. I lost my balance but I was able to stand on my feet. I kicked him on his leg and he fell to the floor. I wasted no time to get on top of him and punched him continuously.

"Don't. " I punched "ever. " I punched again. "Touch her. " I said as I landed punches on his face.

"Cole! " I heard her say and I froze. He took that as his cue to push me off him and I landed on the floor.

Lily's POV

I couldn't believe my eyes. Cole and Seb were fighting and I couldn't bear it. I was full blown crying now. Why was Cole acting like this. Poor Seb is getting beat up cos of me.

"Don't ever touch her. " I heard Cole say. I got up and rushed over to them.

"Cole! " I yelled and he stopped punching Seb. Seb pushed him off of him and got on his feet. His face looked broken and I felt bad. Tears were rushing down my face. I wiped them away but they still fell.

I was looking at Cole with wide eyes. Why was he doing this?

I rushed over to Seb to make sure he was okay.

"Are you okay Seb? " I asked him, wrapping my hands around his waist.

"No. " he said and my heart ached.

"I'm so sorry. " I said to him, my voice shaky.

"It's not your fault. " if only he knew.

"I'm still sorry Seb. " I said hugging him close to me and he hugged me back. I pulled away from and touched his face and he winced in pain. My heart clenched painfully.

I was beyond furious now. Why would Cole do this? Why would he beat up Seb like that? What's his problem?

"I heard you call him Cole, is he the one. " Seb asked.

I sighed. "Yeah. " my eyes on the ground. All of a sudden I couldn't face him. I didn't have the courage to look him in the eyes because I once lied to him.

Not once Lily. You've lied to him a lot.

I know don't remind me.

"But when I asked you said you didn't know him. why'd you have to lie? "

"I didn't won't you worrying about my problems. Cole was a part of my past. So telling you about him wasn't really necessary. "

He ran a hand through his hair. "Any other thing you're lying about babe? " he asked. A lot.

"No. " I lied again. I lied a lot now. What's become of me?

Cole got up and dusted himself off, he walked towards us and I motioned with my hands for him to stop.

"Don't come closer Cole. You've caused enough damage. " I said, shooting daggers at him with my stare.

Thank God a crowd didn't gather because of this fight, I would have felt a hundred times worse.

"I just want to talk to you. " he said with pleading eyes.

"What do you want to possibly talk about huh? You just beat up my boyfriend and expect me to talk to you. To hell with that. " I yelled.

Seb tugged at my arm to calm me down, I looked at him and his eyes was pleading for me not to start something I would regret later.

I sighed. "Seb, can you wait for me here? " I asked him.

"Why? Can't you guys talk here? "

"Its private. "Cole said and I glared at him.

I looked back at Seb. "It'll be quick. " I kissed him softly on the lips and motioned for Cole to follow me.

We went to a place where they were not much people. I didn't want to talk to him because I know I'll give in to him. He very much has an effect on me and if he knows, I'm done for.

"What do you want Cole. " I asked immediately we stopped.

"I want you. " he said staring at me longingly. He can't possibly be saying what I think he's saying.

"Me? Cole can you hear yourself right now? I'm with Seb, can't you see that."

"But you don't love him. " That caught me off guard.

"I do love him okay? I love him and I want nothing to do with you. So don't come here acting all possessive. "

"I can see it in your eyes that you're lying. "

I took in a deep breath. "believe whatever you want Cole. "

I walked past him but I didn't go far he turned me around and pulled me to his chest. My face landed on his solid chest and for a minute I was lost. His scent filled my nose and I felt dizzy. I remembered how it felt to be in his arms. It felt good.

He lifted my head up and kissed me. He kissed me and I kissed him back. I kissed him like it was what I needed to survive. Our mouths moved in sync and it felt good. He bit my bottom lip and I gasped in his mouth. He evaded my mouth with his tongue and our tongues danced. My head was in a mess.

What are you doing Lily?

Remembering everything, I pushed him away from me and my palm landed on his face.

Tears fell from my eyes. I cheated on Seb. He kissed me and I kissed him back.

His face held shock, he touched his cheek where I slapped and his eyes turned dark. He was angry and so was I.

I was crying because I was feeling too many things at once. I won't lie, I enjoyed the kiss, I haven't felt anything like that. I touched my lips and it felt swollen from the kiss.

I glared at him before speaking. "What do you want from me Cole? Its been a year, whatever we had was just a fling. it shouldn't matter to you anymore. So why are you here?" I said raising my voice at him, trying to hold back my tears.
