Fake Bully, True Crush

Visible Feelings

Noah’s Pov:

I was glad that I established a strong connection with Emma with the project we had, it was getting along just as well as I thought it out to be. I was a lucky guy to have another chance with her, our bond was getting stronger by the minute, we had a good chemistry together even when she pretended that she wasn’t into me. She didn’t think that I would catch on at how she tried to avoid me in classes, or when I defended her in class from Ava.

That day when I was practicing on the field, I noticed that Emma was walking alone. God, she was so cute when she was in her own world, like a cat, quiet but adorable. I was too enraptured with Emma’s beauty that I didn’t notice how the ball was suddenly thrown to her, I didn’t have time to think as I ran to protect her, I leaped on her like a hero and got us both down to avoid the fast ball that flew just seconds before.

We hugged and rolled over like we were the only people in this world. It was the best feeling, I hoped that it would last forever. I looked into her eyes, and she looked back, we were in space together. I had asked her why she was flushing but she ran away without answering my question. It literally made me want to release a belly laugh at how cute she was, for the first time, it wasn’t bad being the bad boy.

Damn it! That didn’t get me anywhere, it brought me a few steps back.

My happiness didn’t last long due to the text I had received from her ‘sorry on behalf of your fiancé? Not accepted.’ From Emma affected me badly, I was hurt over what she had sent me after the moments we had together. I was aware of the key problems that stood between me and Emma’s relationship. For that, I decided to do something about it.

After helping Emma with the little favour, I took it as a chance to invite her for dinner. Just then and there, I realized the seriousness of the problem, after we had a great time in the restaurant, which was my favourite place, Emma didn’t want to be my friend, I needed to hurry to solve the problem. My negative thoughts told me that I didn’t have time, what if Emma fell in love with another guy? What if I couldn’t be the one that she wanted?

The flower that twirled in my hand, Emma’s gift to me at the end of our meeting, made me think of her soft skin against mine when I pulled out her chair for her to sit, and the way she looked at me made my skin heat up in a burning longing. I thought of my lovely Emma, and I couldn’t control my urges any longer. I decided to masturbate as a treat. Don’t get me wrong, I slept with other girls before, but when I chose to start a new page with Emma, I wasn’t interested in others anymore. All I needed was her touch and her love.

My arm was on the bathroom wall as I started the water, it dripped down my back as my other hand encircled around my shaft. I groaned as the mixture of water and my hand pumps were leaving my body hot with want. I thought of Emma wrapped against me, her smooth pale skin, her eyes looking up at me as she smiled.

I let out a feral growl as I gripped my flesh in a last stroke and released my liquid in the shower while the hot water relaxed my tensed muscles. I proceeded to wash off the excess and got out of the bathroom after changing into my outfit.

When I got out of the bathroom, Aiden was already in the house. “Masturbate for your little Emma again?” he teased with a smile. He was the joker around her, but I didn’t have it in me to laugh at his attempts. I was exhausted and wanted to lay down for a while.

“Yes, I did.” I daringly answered. I walked to his side and jokingly wiped my hand on Aiden’s sleeve. Aiden slipped away from me as I laughed. He had a scared face on that was hilarious as I watched him put distance.

I sat on the couch and asked, “why are you in my apartment again?” he was supposed to be out somewhere with our team. Yet he was here to pester me about my love life.

“I want to invite Mia to the party, is that okay with you?” Aiden asked. He looked elated at the thought of his crush joining the party. Aiden was my best friend after all.

“Mia? Emma’s best friend?” I questioned back, “Of course, she can join.” I thought about how Emma refused back in the library and added, “if she could bring Emma there, no birthday present is required for you.” I winked at Aiden, who had on a wide grin.

Fast forward to my birthday party, she was my eye candy as she came in with a stunning golden dress, her bare shoulders left me breathless and everything she did in front of me made me ache even more on the inside. She was exquisite to look at, her bright blue eyes scanned me as I did to her. I couldn’t take my eyes off her when she joined Aiden and Mia at the booth. Even when Ava was dancing in front of me, I was exhilarated at the sight of Emma’s slim legs and her huge bust that her dress showcased to me.

We drank a few shots with my team, Ava clinging on my side as she held my hands, I was going to make an important announcement tonight, and I hoped that Emma would have a nice reaction to it. I was prepared all the time; I was going to get what I want, and I knew I wanted her from the moment my eyes took over her pleasing figure in that dress.

“I will be right back.” Ava whispered in my ear as she gave me a kiss on the cheek since I turned my head away when she tried to kiss me, her extravagant perfume irked my senses, whereas Emma’s scent was what I craved during the party. I went against joining them since I had a surprise. I was reluctant to know Emma’s reaction, but I had to do this for both of us.

The amounts of people dancing to the upbeat music was insane, they were all grinding and jumping like we were in a concert, some exchanged numbers and drinks, the bar was luxurious from the mild drinks to the wildest drinks. It was all from the events company my parents set up for me. I was dressed casually, and I greeted the incoming guests as they started to talk through the neon lasers. I heard laughter all around me as they lifted strippers up in their arms. The noise was loud, but I had kept an eye on Emma the whole time when Callum, a team member kept talking about his one-night stands.

It was time for my announcement as my team hooted for me to get on stage, I gripped the microphone tight as I stood in confidence, meeting Emma’s eyes as they slightly widened at me when I made my speech. The band behind me joined as they strummed to Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran, I dedicated this to Emma right after the confession that Ava and I were false, they were all rumours because my heart belonged to Emma. It was the best birthday party ever because she was here. I was happy that my plan with Aiden had worked, and they were here.

I chose this song just for her because I knew it was her favourite song thanks to Mia who willingly told me when I told her about my plan.

“I love you and I want you to know that.” I whispered on her lips as I kissed her with deep hunger, her soft lips moved against mine slowly, taking it all in as I bit her lip and held her closer to me. It was the truth that escaped my lips, I wanted her all to me and only me.

My feelings were too strong as I felt the world get silenced. I was always an impulsive guy who got what he wanted in a second.

Everyone gasped and watched us, but I didn’t care because all I ever wanted was Emma’s lips on mine. Our kiss was heartfelt, it made my heart gallop and my nerves burst throughout my body. My arms tightened around her waist, I pulled away, inspecting her reaction to the passionate kiss.
