I could feel his warm, sweet breath dance across my face. I looked down at his lips for a second, just for a second. "And I'll walk away." He whispered. He held me under his fiery gaze for what felt like an eternity. Of course I still had feelings for him, far more than I should have. I was confused by his actions and my feelings. The idea of him actually walking away from me -- from this, it had me panicked. How could I still be so entranced by this boy after what he had done? I broke the unbearable silence, "Then why, Beck? Why did you think you needed to play games with me?" His eyes fell to the floor. "With her?" "Sophia... I can't tell you why I did it, but I can tell you..." I felt his arms tighten around my waist as he closed the distance that didn't seem to exist between us. I couldn't think straight. I swallowed hard. My hands fell a few inches, resting on his arms. Even in the lack of light in this empty classroom, Beck was undeniably sexy. "I will spend my days figuring out how to make up for it. As long as you'll let me." That line shouldn't have worked on me, but for whatever reason - it did. What could I say? He made me weak. - Self-proclaimed wallflower Sophia Bennett doesn't know how to feel about the popular Beck Jackson suddenly paying her so much attention.
