Beautiful Faces {b.f - book 1} ➳ Christian Collins

Chris pulled me by the wrist slightly to keep me back. We looked at each other while we stood by the car. He rested his hands in my hips.

"So....." he said nonchanantly, "I was thinking... maybe if you wanted go hang out tomorrow..." he smirked, "no offence, but just me and you.."  i smiled and looked away from him, down the street... at the tree in front of Luke's house... anywhere but his eyes. I knew if I looked at him I would blush redder than roses... but i had to. I looked him in the eye, surprised as my cheeks felt only slightly warm.

I tuned my head so my lips were grazing his neck slightly.. only when he moved.

"Of course I like you like that.. " I whispered. He let out a sigh of relief. "Pick me up tomorrow after school... at my house." I said as I pulled away, getting into the car. His eyes stared into mine as i closed the door and rolled down my window, "See you tomorrow.." he leaned into the window kissing me gentley on my cheek.

"Good bye Gorgeous.." he said quietly. He stepped back as Luke pulled out of his drive way and down the street. We sat in silence for a few minuets.

"You really like him..." he said to me as i stared out he window. I looked at him and smiled.

"I always have...."
