When Love Hurts

When Love Hurts-Chapter Ten- Bliss

The next day I was caught in a whirlwind of events. I woke up earlier in the morning without Bruce by my side, i screwed Dan upside down when he fetched me to school. Pam and Dan knew about it all along, it was a plan to get me and Bruce together. I was surprised when Bruce showed his affection openly in school. He caught me when i wasn't looking and kissed me during lunch. By now, i bet the whole school knows.

"Bruce. We need to stop." We were walking over to his car and Bruce stopped in his tracks.

"What happened?" I walked past Bruce and he called me again.

"Why should i stop? It makes no sense!" I turned around and laughed when Bruce was still rooted at his spot.

"What the.. I meant something else, not you stopping in your tracks." Bruce smirked when he walked up to me. I tilted my head up and he leaned closer. Oh no. I back away a little and he frowned.

"What's wrong?" Bruce took my hand and rubbed it with his. I looked around myself saw some students watching us. I pulled him to his car and he opened it. I told him to drive us somewhere else and he took off.

"So can you tell me what happened now?" Bruce glanced at me before concentrating on the road once more.

"I.. I think that it's better if we go undercover. I-" I was almost thrown forward when Bruce braked suddenly.

"Are you fucking kidding with me?" I turned to look at Bruce who was gripping the wheel until his knuckles turned white. He looked pretty angry. No, really pissed off actually when he turned to looked at me.

"What do you mean undercover? Do you feel ashamed to be with me?" Bruce asked in a flat tone when i remained silent. Of course that wasn't what i had in mind but my voice stuck. I just wanted to make sure of our relationship before announcing it to others but i was still shocked when i saw Bruce's face. He was narrowing his eyes at me and it scared me.

"So you are, aren't you?" I shook my head when he accused me. How can i be ashamed when he was the hottest catch in our school? Every girl wanted to snatch him and pull him to bed. Ugh. I slapped myself mentally before licking my lips.

"Bruce.. I.. Please don't look at me like that." Bruce turned his head away when i said that.

"Please.. I didn't meant it that way-"

"Than what? I don't see any need for us be secretive unless you didn't want to be with me." Bruce cut in and glared at me once more. He lowered his eyes when he saw my shocked expression.

"I'm sorry! I just wanted us to make clear of where this relationship is going before the whole school is gossiping about us and all." I was nervous. He had never been mad at me. Not like this.

"They are already talking about us for days." Bruce gritted his teeth when he said those words. I groaned. Me and my stupid brain, why did the wrong words always comes out of my mouth. I was beating my head my hand before Bruce grabbed it.

"I can tell them that we have nothing going on if it bothers you that much." Bruce eyes lost it's shine and was looking at me sadly.

"No.. Oh no, what i really mean is don't show ourselves in public, Ugh, i mean don't show our affection in public!" I closed my eyes and breathed deeply. I only wanted Bruce to keep our kissing or other more affectionate moves out of view. Bruce eyebrows are furrowed together when i opened my eyes.

"So what do you mean actually? One moment you say we go undercover and the next don't show affection in front of others." Bruce started his car again when the line behind us started honking. I shifted uneasily in my seat.

"What i mean is.. Erm, don't kiss me in front of so many people.. it's embarrassing..Oh god, don't take it the wrong way Bruce!" Bruce raised his eyebrow and his features in a scowl again after i finished.
