The Lust Of Pride

Chapter 11

Zane sweats as his heartbeats, mind turning blank as he looks at Sam’s face straight in her eyes, looking deep into her soul, like staring down the devil herself.

He stood where he was, almost shaking but kept his composure as he faced Sam and flinched, and as she opened her mouth, speaking in a cute and calm voice,

“We still have unfinished business Zane hehe”.

Sam slowly stepped in front of Zane and leaned in closer to him. Zane looked at her pretty face, resisting her charm, like a kid wanting to lick ice cream, afraid that it might melt in front of his face, and finally, Zane uttered a reply to Sam in an uncaring tone,

“I thought I made my answer clear if you remember, that was the best no that I could’ve given, now what else do you want from me?”.

Sam gently smiled at him, touching her chin as she said, “Oh nothing else, just…one…little…favor”.

Zane looked at her with worry in his eyes, frightened of what she wants to ask of him, being her servant or being her guard, those thoughts echoed in his mind, making him fear the outcome of the two and which of the choices were worse,

But he cleared his mind, to speak in a direct tone, to signal her that he does not want any of it when she wants it, and so he asked her,

“And what the hell would that be? Whatever it is, I’m not interested”.

Sam gave him a wave of laughter, ridiculing his direct stature, and after it subsided, she grinned, leaning close to Zane, nearing his lips as he waited for her to say her favor, and then she said,

“I want you….

to go on a date with me”.

Zane’s face turned numb, confused, and shocked at what Sam said, thinking it was a joke to mess with him, to tease him into blindly accepting her offer, but as he stood there shocked by her words,

Zane was deep in his thoughts, developing a figure of himself in his head, sitting at a dark corner of his mine, thinking to himself,

“This…is f*****g worse than being a servant!!!”.

Zane backed away slightly from her space, angered by her sudden behavior,

“You gotta be kidding me, yesterday you were this wicked girl, and then a day later you turn into a lovesick schoolgirl, what are you playing at?”.

Sam giggled a laugh, giving a soft sound to the ear, and as she stepped closer to Zane, she grabs his hand, slowly placing it on her chest, while Zane became confused and mortified, tried to break away from her grip, shouting at her as he struggled to escape,

“What are you doing GIRL!?!”.

Sam smirked a smile filled with desire, slowly placing Zane’s hand on her chest, smiling as she does it, and slowly replied in a lady's voice with a tone full of lust,

“Just giving you a sample of what’s to come, if you choose to agree hehe”.

As Sam forced Zane’s hand to move, he struggled to escape, his hand being forced to open into as she grasped them hard like a rock, saying as she moved Zane’s hand closer to her chest,

“You know you can’t resist Zane, Just let it happ-“,

“Sam, what is going on here?”.

Sam was interrupted before Zane’s hand even touched a single pluck of silk from her blouse, letting it go and took one stepped back, and turned around, only to see Katy standing there, with a disturbed face, and her hazel eyes squinting in silent anger as she looks at Sam and Zane,

“Am I…Interrupting something?”, she said in low voice.

Sam quickly reassured her, saying that she was only greeting Zane as he walked by, but Katy raised her eyebrow, turned her eyes towards Zane, looking at his face,

“Zane Maython huh? I see you two have already know each other”.

Zane looked at Katy, recognizing her by her hair and eyes, and replied,

“I…I see you still know me Winters, Y…yes Sam is a recent acquaintance of mine, I just happen to passed by her on my way to the art club”.

Katy gazed at Zane in silence, still wearing a disturbed face at him, but broke her silence as she said,

“Speaking of clubs… the photography club wants you to model for them a bit Sam, they are in the room beside me if you want to do it”.

Sam joyfully jumped and ran inside the room to model, meanwhile Sam and Katy stood in the silence of the halls, but it broke as Katy stepped closer to Zane, and said,

“I know what kind of behavior you do Zane, just by watching your actions during junior high, I know that you are not someone I like being close to Sam or any one of my friends, and although…I don’t mind it since Sam decided to meet you, but hear this, if you even break a single piece of her heart, I swear I will do everything I can to make the school see who you truly are”.

Zane looked away from Katy, unfazed because he heard those type of words before a million times over, and so he replied in an uncaring tone, but direct,

“Oh, believe me, Winters, I’m not the one who is going to hurt someone”.

“hmmm, we’ll see about that”.

As they stared each other down in silence, Sam ran out of the room, feeling happy as the flash of the camera, rain down her figure, capturing her beautiful image, and as she turned her head to look at Katy and Zane, she asked,

“What were you two talking about?”.

Katy let out a small grunt and then turned away from Zane, saying to Sam,

“It was nothing, let's continue our tour, Sam”.

Katy grabbed Sam’s hand and immediately walked towards the other club room, while Sam waved goodbye to Zane, giving him a short grin,

“See you later…Zane”, winking at him as she says it.

Zane breathe a sigh of relief as he got out of the scene,

“Glad that was resolved, for now at least”.

Walking joyfully towards the art club room, passing by the other students in the halls with him, and as he saw the club room sign, he ran towards it, pulling out his things as he arrived at the door, ready to create beautiful arts,

But as the door creaked as it open, a sudden thud was heard from below, telling Zane that something was missing, and as he looked down to where the sound was,

he realizes that it was his stomach that made the noise, touching it, and said in a worried voice,

 “f**k…

I forgot about breakfast”.
