I fell in love with a jock

chapter 12

We both stand up again and Brandon grabs my hand and leads me out into the lobby. We go past the big set of doors and walk outside. He's still holding onto my hand but he grabs his keys with his other and unlocks his car.

we walk to his truck, and he tries to be polite and opens my door for me. I get into the car and look at his interior of what's inside.

His seats are made of black soft material and he has a kids craft hanging from his review mirror. There's an empty water bottle in the cup holder and coins in the other.

He gets into the car, but doesn't turn it on.

"Emily please believe me when I tell yo-" I rudely interrupt him, not caring what about what he was about to say.

"Who was that girl?" My voice doesn't shake, but it comes out as a squeak. I clear my throat and listen for his response.

"She was an EX of mine who was trying to get me back. I didn't want to get back together, but I was just leading her on. Holding her, playing with her hair." He looks at the steering wheel.

"I don't need the details of what you did to her." I say. My voice coming out much stronger than before.

"She felt all special, but you should have seen her reaction when I told her I didn't really want to be with her." He faintly smiles and looks back at me.

"You were just leading her on... for the fun of it?" I can't help it but my voice shakes.

"No.. she.. she.. liked the attention I just wanted to take that away from her. The only person who has my attention right now is you." He grabs both my hands and gives them a reassuring squeeze.

"You never wanted to get back with her?" I let him hold my hands and I look up into his eyes.

"No, of course not. I don't want to be with her. I- I just want want to be with you." I roll my eyes at the cliche of what he told me but he does something that surprises me.

He leans over the console and kisses me. He gives me a soft kiss, then pulls away to see my reaction. When he sees that I didn't reject the kiss he leans in and kisses me again but makes it longer. He grabs my head, his fingers tangling themselves in my hair. 

I don't know how to react, but I'm kissing him back. We stay together like that, our lips locked. Until a cars alarm in the distance go's off.

I'm the one who breaks this kiss first. I put my hand on his chest and push away gently. He takes his hand off of my head and sits back into his seat.

" I have to go back... Abby is probably..." I point to the building a turn around to open the car door.

"Wait Emily, what about us?" He questions me while I'm standing outside his truck.

"I have to think about it." I simply say and shut the door and walk back to the building to finish seeing Abby's performance.
