Chapter 8| Those Lips

"You should totally ask him out," Katie said taking a sip of her mocha. We were in a cafe and we're currently talking about me having a crush on a certain someone. We had a 30 minute break from the antique shop. Katie had Black coffee with giant double chocolate cookies, while had hot chocolate with donuts. I hate coffee it's way too strong and doesn't taste good.

"What no I'm not going to ask Henry out that would be weird." I said I have never approached and flirted with a guy before.

"Fine I'll do it, I'll tell him you want to f**k him."

"Don't say that."

"You're acting like you don't like him."

"I do... it's just-"

"Never had a boyfriend-- I know."

"I've had boyfriends." I said defensively knowing I hadn't even had my first kiss yet and I am 16 years old.

"Oh really? Who?"

"None of your business."

"That's what I thought."

I rolled my eyes.

"If you don't do it, there is literally no reason to like him. You know what I'm texting him right now and I'm going to tell him you like him." She said snatching my phone.

"No are you crazy!" I shouted standing up everyone turn there head towards us, I cowardly sat down, "Give me my phone you crazy bitch." I whispered snatching it back from her hands.

"Continue doing what your doing we're not a tv stop watching us!" Katie said the the people who were looking.

I pulled her down to sit, "What is wrong with you?"

"They wouldn't stop looking."

I rolled my eyes, this crazy b***h.

"You know you two will never date. You know why? Because he don't know you like him and you expect to sit around and wait for him to ask you out." She said crossing her arms.

"Okay fine I'll ask him out when we get back."

"Then we should get going like now."

"I'm not done with my donuts."

"Save it for later." She said taking the garbage off the table and throwing them in the trash.

I put my donuts in my bag. "Lets go!" She said.

Eager much?

We left the cafe shop, and walked back to the antique shop it was a five minute walk literally. I went to put my things away in the back, and went back to the cash register. It wasn't a really busy day so I just sat behind the cash register mostly on i********:. Of course I wasn't going to ask him out right away. I have to work.

"What are you doing? Go to him." Katie said.

"Not right now."

"Why are you being a p***y?"

"I'll do it." She is way more serious about this than I am. She finally left and I went back to my phone.

"Hey Scarlett." Henry said to me.

"Um hi, am I doing something wrong?"

"No your fine it's just Katie told me that you like me."

I'm going to kill that b***h!

"Oh... yeah that..." I didn't know what say I really wanted to run out of here.

"Do you want to go out sometime?" He said.

"Hmm I don't know, why are you asking me out all of a sudden?"

" I like you, your cute."

"I don't know if I should." I said. I wasn't even trying to play hard to get I like him a lot but I'm still hesitant. I have never been in a serious relationship with anyone and so this is my first time. I wasn't looking for him to serenade me or anything I just don't want to be a easy catch. Henry is a little older than me 19 to be exact I expect a little more from him.

"Why do you like me?" I said grinning, placing my phone on the table this was new for him . "I've never seen you like this."

"Like what."

"Vulnerable, you are always so mean and strict this is new."

"I am not being vulnerable, besides you are really putting me on the spot right now." He said.

"Okay I liked you from day one, I'm going to be honest with you. Are you sure you want to go out with me?"

"Look,"he said holding my hand. "I like you and I know you like me too. I know I can be a little in over my head-"

"A little."

"Maybe a lot but I want to get to know you better outside of work were I like to be professional."

"Alright." I said with a stupid smile on my face.

He leaned in and kissed me and man was he a good kisser. We kissed for a good minute I was crazy blushing he wasn't my first kiss but I really wanted to do this for a long time. We parted and I bit my lip.

"I have to go right now but I will text you tonight. Alright?"

"Okay," I smiled. He then walked away.

Next day

I sat in Biology class taking notes, my teacher for this class she is a bit of a push over. So she just wrote notes and class work on the board and we can ask questions. This class was loud and as always I kept to myself, I didn't really like the in-crowd, they were too loud and trouble makers. I guess that makes me a good girl. But I know how to have fun just not when it comes to my grades. I'm sort of the quite girl.

The bell soon rang and everyone left, I had p.e and I had it with Katie. I put my things in my locker and went to girls locker room

a couple of people started undressing. I didn't see Katie yet but started to change anyway.

The uniform they had us wearing were so f*****g bizarre. They were sports bra, and a black see through tank tops, and red shorts. I wasn't self conscious but my butt was not small making the shorts ride up my ass sometimes.

"Hey!" I felt hands slap my ass. I was startled until i figured it was Katie f*****g around.

"Don't do that."

"Why aren't you dressed?"

"I'm leaving early-- wanted to say bye."

"You are really going to leave me."

"It's a family emergency," she said hugging me, "I talk to you tomorrow." She left.

I shut my locker and left to the gym,

"Alright girls today we are going to play dodge ball." Coach Denier said.

I rolled my eyes I didn't want to do this s**t my breast were not made to be jumping with but I said nothing. They choose teams.

I was no athlete but I did need to pass this class.

I tried my best but I failed miserably falling on my ass a couple of times. The ball flew at my face and hit me. "What the f**k is your problem?" I said nursing my head. Stupid b***h hit me on purpose.

"You're my problem."

She is looking for a reason to fight, and the thing is I don't even know her name.

"Maybe you sit the rest of the game out." Coach Denier said.

"Are you seriously not going to do anything? She obviously did that on purpose."

"So what if I did?"

She definitely hit a nerve, I wasn't a person to look for confrontation but she is asking for it.

I stalked her walking up to her going under the net. I punched her on her nose and walked out.

"Coach are you going to let her do that?!"

"Do what? I didn't see anything."

I rolled my eyes, b***h.

I went back to my locker changed and grabbed my things I decided to skip the rest of the day.

I walked through the empty halls, "Hey where are going?" A guy named Garret asked me. We are acquaintances he was cute not sexy cute adorable cute.

"I'm leaving. What does it look like?"

"Before art c'mon..." we had art together.

"Garret get out of my way." I said stepping aside.

"Okay wait let me come with you."

"Why?"

"Well because-- to keep you company."

"Not a good reason Garret.."

"Well I have a car and you don't."

"You're are right." I said intertwining are fingers together, "Let's go." I said walking with him down the halls of school and outside up to his car.

He opened the car door for me and then went to the Drivers side. "What a gentleman." I said.

"I try." He laughed, "So were do you want to go."

"Lets go to your house."

"Um okay. Why my house?"

"Why not your house? Now start the car." I demanded and he did.

"Why are you skipping school?"

"The same reason you are." I replied.

"I don't think so."

"I punched a girl by accident, but don't think it would be seen that way. I'm lover not a fighter she would probably come up and try fight me with her group of friends. As you may notice confrontations are not my thing."

"Yeah that's Katlyn's thing."

"That's not her thing she is just misunderstood."

"How can you punch a girl by accident?"

"I walked up to her and punched her she was being a bitch."

"That sounded like you did that on purpose."

"I might've done it on purpose." I said playing with my nails. We soon reached his house, "Is anyone home."

"No I don't think so."

"Okay so, what do you want to?" I said with my hands in my pocket.

"I don't know you wanted to come here."

"Do you want have s*x?"

"Are you serious?"

"No I'm kidding-- do you actually believe me?"

"No I-I knew you were kidding. Do you want to go to my room?"

"Yeah okay." I said he took my hand and walked me to his room. I closed the door behind me. I looked around, "Your room is super clean."

"Yeah well I'm not here that often."

"Where do you be?"

"At my girl friends house."

"Your serious."

"Yeah I'm serious."

"You have a girl friend and you bring me to your room?"

"Yeah what's the issue it's not like we are going to have s*x or something. Right?"

"We are not having s*x Garret." I said putting my bag on the floor.

I walked around his room and look through his stuff.

He came up from behind me, "I'd appreciate it if you didn't touch my things." He said taking the picture frame from my hand and put it on the counter. I turned around and he was really close against me. Looking right at me, I blushed a little. "You're cute when you blush. You know that?"

"You are corny and way to close." I said pushing slightly away. He came back and put his hands on my hips and kissed me. I pushed him away, " Stop you have a girlfriend."

"I lied." He said pushing my hands from between us. He kissed me again, his lips were super soft he was a great kisser even better than Henry. I pushed him back away, he was a long kisser and I am out of breath. "I really like you Scarlett."

"I'm aware of that now Garret."
