Second chances

Chapter 4

The silence in the detention room made Adriana meditate .This was her second day at school and already she was in trouble.She blamed Adrian for her misfortunes. It seemed that anything he does even breaking the school rules he always went scot-free.Even now he was busy on his phone with earphones plugged in as if listening to music.Though it was prohibited he didn't care and neither did the teacher question him.'Who was this guy?' she couldn't stop thinking and she knew if she continued with his friendship it wouldn't do her any good. She couldn't let Father Thomas down and she had to succeed in this life for her own future. She hated being independent on someone and thought that she was a burden to the Father and ought to make it easier for him not to bring more problems.

The bell rang signifying the end of their detention.She quickly gathered her stuff so that she may escape him but it was too late.

"Why the hurry princess?"he asked in his British accent coming closer to her making her struggle to breath.

"Aaah... aah i have to use the ladies room,"she said not turning to look at him.She took her bag and ran off but not before she heard him say,"Don't be long am taking you home."As if she would agree ,she scoffed.

It was late and the bus had left without her and now she would have to run all the way home. Leaving the washroom she didn't expect to find her nemesis in the hallway conversing with the queen Bee of the school but what was more surprising is the frown of his face as if he couldn't wait for the conversation to end. Deciding this was the perfect opportunity to escape without him realising ,she walked at the end of the hallway with her face down.

"Are you running from me princess?"

"Oooh me? No way. I was in a hurry and didn't want to interrupt your lovey dovey moment ,"she said pasting a fake smile. He had caught up with her at the gate.

Holding her by the wrist he dragged her to his Jeep and deposited her in the passenger seat and again Adriana was left astounded on how rich these guys were.

"You know you don't have to manhandle me every time."

"I don't manhandle you , you're just stubborn. Now tie up your seatbelt."

Fuming she crossed her arms and frowned. She didn't like being bossed around. Suddenly she felt him draw closer and before she could react,he pulled the seatbelt slowly brushing her breasts in the process making her stiffen and let out a gasp.

"Don't look at me like that princess,"his said huskily.

"How?"

"Like you want me to kiss you and..."he released her lower lip from her teeth,"stop biting your lip. Let me do that for you." He took her lower lip and sucked on it and bit it softly. She tried pushing him but he only slammed his lips on hers in a hard kiss. He kissed her hungrily with his tongue playing with hers and only released her when they were both breathless.

Cupping her face and staring into her eyes,"You're so beautiful and this eyes are so hypnotizing. Let's not forget these sensual lips yearning to be kissed ," he let out a chuckle.

Too much for staying away from him but he was too much to resist.

"You stole my first kiss jerk!" She hit him softly on his broad chest.

He let out what seemed like a victorious laugh and kissed her again ,only this time it was a quick one." I would have never guessed so ,you kiss like a natural and..."brushing her lower lips with his thumb," i will expect you to only kiss me from now on." He knew he sounded possessive but he couldn't help it.

Pulling away from him she exclaimed, "What the hell! You're not my dad neither are you my boyfriend to go bossing me around on who to kiss and who not to!"

"We'll see princess ,"he replied arrogantly and smiled.

"Don't call me princess and take me home now."

"Sure princess." He wanted to irk her and it was working.

Giving him the address, they drove silently only listening to some hip hop but for once she wanted the silence to calm her raging hormones. The guy would only touch her and leave her craving for him.

"We're here princess. Do you live with Father Thomas?"

"Yeah."

"How come I've never seen you around till recently?"

"Long story and am not in the mood right now. Thanks for the ride anyway." She let herself out and ran towards the gate but he called her again.

"What?"

"You forgot your phone in my car."

"Ooh ..."she went back to get it wondering what he was typing quickly on her phone. Snatching it quickly,"don't go around snooping in my phone."

"Relax i was only putting my number on it so we can chat," he grinned.

"Why would i want to chat with an egoistical man like you?" She went to turn back but he caught her wrist and pulled her to him. He pulled her further to his body such that every inch of their bodies touched.

"Breathe princess."

She didn't realize she was holding her breath until he told her to breath. She let out a deep breath but it didn't help her raging hormones. She also now realised her hands were on his chest and they were staring at each other not missing the way his Adam's apple moved when he swallowed. She tried pulling herself but he restrained her.

"Not yet princess let me feel you a bit more. You're so soft." He now embraced her tightly.

"Well i can't say the same of you,"she let out a laugh." You're way too hard but in a good way."

"Just shut up let me reminisce this moment," he chuckled. Adrian couldn't explain why he always felt possessive of her. Maybe it's because their names were almost similar. No ,he ruled that one out. Maybe it's because she was beautiful with her curly hair and an infectious smile or maybe it's because she resembled his once upon a time girlfriend Alycia. Yeah that could be it but it only dampened his mood remembering how she left him without a word and like a love sick puppy he still hadn't gotten over her.

Releasing Adriana he faked a smile and kissed her forehead ," Go in now its cold."

"You'll never stop ordering me around?"

"Not in this lifetime princess."

Missing his warmth and cologne already she walked towards the gate, rang the bell and let herself in when it was opened but couldn't help herself looking back at him. He was still there waiting for her to go in.

"You can go home now kind gentleman," she told him sarcastically and smiling.

"Don't count on it next time. Goodnight and dream of me." He winked ,got into his car and left.

She was still smiling when she got into the house not seeing the father observing her. He had actually seen the whole conversation and now he was worried about her being heartbroken.
