A Seat in His Heart

Chapter 12 - Snow Angel

Gold's POV

I woke up to find Pete and Kyle talking and laughing. I glanced at the window and the sun is not even up yet the time is just a minute past 5:00 AM. Obviously their chattering woke me up. I felt a little light headed but other than that I was perfectly fine.

"Wow guys, you're really something, enemies yesterday and friends the next day?" I teased folding my free arm under my head.

They turned their attention to me. Pete was smiling at me and Kyle had his signature smirk. "What were you expecting? This d**k head is my brother" Pete said smacking Kyle's head.

"And you are a p***y that's why I can't resist f**king you up badly" Kyle retorted and I could not resist laughing. I am super happy that they have gotten back their friendship already without me stressing a muscle. They have been friends and just like brothers too, to the envy of other students and even the seniors

" A pleasant surprise, I must say." I smiled.

"Good morning Queen" Pete turned around walking to my bed. I greeted back and he kissed my knuckles. I was a wet kiss. I still felt his lips on my knuckles after some time.

" I think we should get you discharged early," Pete suggested.

"Yes, On it! " Kyle affirmed. this duo taking care of me made me feel like a baby. After a few minutes the doctor stepped in. I know I should have been grateful that I was given timely attention and happy that I had the famous doctor Clinton at my beck and Call but it was somewhat suspicious, not somewhat, it was super suspicious considering the fact that three of us were barely students. like a normal person, I felt there was absolutely something brewing behind the scenes, something I did not know about. I thought feeling uneasy , people call it intuition. The doctor did his usual, except this time he took my vitals and took off all the probes and IV needles on me. The paperwork was done in the ward?! How exclusive was my treatment? The black suit guy was there again to take the paperwork away. They told me I was free to go. I needs to find answers, otherwise I will know no peace.

We took a taxi to my uncle's house. He was not around that gave the guys the liberty of staying but Kyle declined and Left. He said he had something to do, leaving only Pete and I. The look of extreme delight was plastered on his face. I felt like he really had nothing to do but just wanted to give us some space. As soon as Kyle left, we got inside. I dropped my bag and bent down to charge my phone, when I got up I felt an arm round my waist. I jumped, it was Pete hugging me from behind and resting his head in the crook of my neck. I felt his warm minty breath fanning my neck and chin.

"I'm sorry gold, I guess was too narrow minded and stupid " he said and exhaled I turned to face him, but he still had his hand around my waist.

"I like you a lot that it hurts me to see you with some other guy." He said planting feathery kisses on my cheek." Even Kyle?" I asked. "Even Kyle." he said simply.

I broke free from him and turned to face him.

"That is pure obsession" I slurred.

"I know, right, but I can't stand anyone else having much of your time than myself." He said kissing my shoulder.

I was getting that warm fuzzy feeling and my tummy was about to explode with butterflies.

"Back at you, you have to be careful with the ladies too." I said and laughed.

"Anything for you queen Pete, you alone have that seat in my heart." he said. Pulling me to sit on his lap.

" Wait, What?! Queen Pete? That sounds ridiculous, how about just queen" I suggested, not because I don't like being endeared but because I do not want it this early, I had not been told my position in his life yet.

"Like I said anything for you," he said and kissed my forehead.

"Why don't you kiss me here?" I said pointing at my lips.

"Bad boys learn fast, dear, last time I earned myself a slap. Today I don't need a black eye." He said with a grin. "You can't be serious." I laughed.

"You know I just want to be a gentleman and wait for your consent else I'd eat you up so good by now. Plus I need you to say you like me too." Pete said.

" Do it the normal way and maybe I will," I said with a shrug.

"You mean, like dates?" he asked. "that could work." I shrugged, looking very indifferent.

"Someone is trying to play hard to get" Pete laughed. "Well that seems to be the case, you still need that consent don't you?" I said, running a finger from his lips down to his chest.

"Hell, you know I do" he said, kissing my cheeks, forehead and neck except my lips. I felt something hard poke my belly button from his pants, this is what people call a hard on right? I gasped.

" How long do I need to wait?" He said in a raspy voice, smiling deviously. "Five to ten years" I said, stroking his Adam's apple lightly in circles down to his chest. He let out a low groan "Oh queen, Mercy, show some Mercy" he said slumping his head on the backrest of the sofa. I laughed, for some reasons I love torturing him this way and the way he reacts to me. I really, really like Pete but I can't help but remember Trice. We both are resisting our feelings for some reasons.

"No mercy, you have to earn that consent." I stood up and he held my hand.

"Then no delays, let's have a date this evening." he stroked my knuckles with his thumb.

"Pick you up at 8 PM" he said kissing my forehead before leaving. I went up to me room and slumped on the bed, flapping my hands and legs like I want to create a snow angel. I finally got my heart throb.

'Yeah, yeah let's see how you're going to face Trice on resumption.' my mind slapped me.

I will worry about Trice on resumption but now, what do I wear for this date.
