Because of Him (Read on Kindlé)

TWENTY-FOUR | Killing Me

POV | Belle

I clutched my books tightly to my chest as Zoe and I made our way to her car, the end of the day had finally come and my mind was reeling over Ethan... I was used to brushing him off but today was different. His usual coy smiles and comments turned into deep whispers and sly smirks... I clenched my books tighter at the memory "Belle.. are you even listening. It looks like you're strangling your books" Shooting my head in Zo's direction I rolled my eyes and laughed "Shut-up you’re one to talk, strangling Beck all day like a love sick puppy" Squinted her eyes she poked her tongue out at me in defeat.

“So mine or yours?” Zoe spoke as she connected her phone to the Bluetooth “which house has the food?” I asked rhetorically to which Zoe nodded “That’s a fair point, this is why I trust you with my life” I shook my head at her and began scrolling through Songs on her playlist, only to realise that every single one had to do with... s*x? I furrowed my brows in amusement before turning the phone screen her way “Someone’s horny..” I watched the blush creep on her cheeks as she groaned “Ugh... tell me about it, it’s like... I’ve tasted the sweet nectar that is s****l intercourse and it’s ALL my mind can think about..”

I laughed at the theatrics going on beside me as we pulled up to Zoe’s house, resting her head on the steering wheel she looked over at me “Think there’s something wrong with me?” I shook my head rolling my eyes “Zo... it’s completely normal, I’m pretty sure if anyone on this earth enjoys something they are going to think about it. Especially when it’s something as personal and intimate as sex...” I felt my mind drift as I spoke, I 100% knew how it felt to want something so intimate again...

“You okay Belle? You went all mushy and... YOU DO HAVE A CRUSH!” I jumped as Zoe screamed into my ear, grabbing my face she turned me to her “It’s Ethan isn’t it?!” She began clapping her hands together like she had just solved a mystery “...this is why he took you to the tree to be all alone...” I heard her mumbling to herself... wait... did she just say Tree?.. “You were spying on us?” I questioned bringing her attention back to me, pursing her lips she slowly shook her head before letting out a very unsure “....maybe?”
