1998 Words
Alyssa's PoV:
The room seemed to get smaller and the air hotter, while the space between us was getting shorter with each second. I saw his eyes looking mesmerized by my lips as if he was enchanted by them while his mouth tended to open slightly ready to kiss me at any moment.
As I thought if I should or shouldn't join in on his quest to kiss me I heard a a repeated knock on the door that sounded desperate for me to open up. Who couldn've ruin this moment?
"I am sorry" I whispered while Chase looked now into my eyes
"Do you really have to?" he asked not really stopping his lips were almost touching mine when—
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
The repeated knocks made us stop again "I really have to otherwise it wont stop" I claimed and Chase nodded understanding. I got up while taking a deep breath, Friday is supposed to be a good day and for some reason, it's going desperately wrong.
"What?" I asked not that amused while ing a door just to meet—
"Luke?"
"Hi Aly! I really need something"
"Yeah I can tell by the nervous knocks"
"Sorry! But this is very important"
"I hope so you interrupted me big time"
"Oh sorry what were you doing?" he asked trying to look into my room but I copied his moves so he wouldn't see Chase, Luke is known for his naiveness and his lack of capacity to keep a secret.
"Nothing. What do you want, Luke?"
"So... we were playing CoD then we were talking and Mason said that the coolest one was Black Ops and I said it was Modern Warfare II. So I wanted to play Black Ops again to see if it was that good but your brother didn't had it in his room he said it was your favorite game so you probably had it. So Mason said to come and get so do you have it? Can you give it to me?" he asked enthusiastic and without breaks. He looked like he was high or in ecstasy but I have known Luke for a long time he looks like a kid on sugar when he gets excited, it used to be cute now it's just irritating.
"Yeah I have it" I said "wait a minute" I closed the door opening he would get the memo for not barge in my room. I grabbed the Black Ops 6 game and then handed it to him
"Thank you so much Alylili"
"Sure Luke"
"By the way what are you doing? Why is everything do quiet?" he asked, normally there was a lot of sound emerging from my room hence the question, being my friends around, loud songs or movies but today I had none of that since Chade was here.
"I am trying to study"
"You usually study with rain don't you?" right how does he know all of this? What a bummer! I usually study with a rain playlist on Spotify.
"Well I am changing my methods... why are you so talkative today?" I asked trying to push him away from my room and into my brothers room through the hallway
"Well Mason talked about it and I thought it was weird too so I was curious" he told me as I opened my brothers room door revealing Aiden and Mason sat on the puff's near the TV.
Mason isREALLY crossing the lines!
"Hi guys! Found it !" Luke said once he saw them, he waved the game in his hand while Aiden was getting hyped about it
"Put it! I love that game dude!" Aiden exclaimed excited, I took my eyes out of my brothers excitement due to the feeling of someone watching me, my eyes went straight to the one looking at me with a sly smirk making my furrowed eyebrows appear.
"You can go now sister!" Aiden mentioned while turning the game on with Luke while I kept looking at Mason and trying to decipher what the hell was he playing with me.
"Yeah sure "
"Good study" Luke said not really caring just looking at the TV
"Oh she is studying?" Mason asked as if he didn't know "what may I ask?"
"Sciences" I said unamused
"Do you need help?"
"No"
"You should ask Mason he is good at everything" Aiden mentioned
"I can handle myself thanks" I said grabbing the knuckle of the door
"Good studying" Madon smiled as I my rage grow, I closed the door walking straight to my room. The nerve of that boy I swear!
I got into my room and I was repaired with Mason placing his books on his backpack, I frowned ay his actions... did I do something wrong? s**t, did he find out about my 4Town photocards?
"Hey what's happening?" I asked he stopped looking at me, his face had no longer a smile
"God I'm sorry Alyssa I'll have to go my dad's calling he needs help in the store" he explained standing there looking at me
"Is everything alright? "
"Yeah the part-timer couldn't come so my dad needs someone" he said with a sad smile "I am really sorry"
"Its okay! Really we can just schedule it another time"
"Really I'd love that" He said with a happy smile now making me smile too
Although I was liking his presence I understood his place, and who was I to stop him? We got downstairs and I watched my mom on the kitchen isle preparing what I presume another pie.
"Hello darling do you want anything?" she questioned me
"No I'm fine, Chase is leaving though"
"Oh already? He vould stay for dinner"
"Thats really kind of you Mrs. Anderson but I need to help my dad at the store"
"Oh of course dear! Well I would've get ready some pie for you to take but my second dose is not ready yet" she said while showing us the mixer on her hand
"Oh thanks Mrs. Anderson"
"Oh no welcome dear! How was the pie? Did you like it ?"
Shit! We didn't even tasted it because of my pride
"Ah- we were so focused on studying that we didn't eat" I told her
"Oh well next time tell me your favorite dessert and I will make sure to do it"
"Ok mom..." I
"Thank you" Chase said as I guided him to the main door, once he was outside he took a look at me and smiled
"Although it was a small time... I replay like it"
I smiled back at his words I couldn't deny it but he was cute or he was excellent at flirting "thank you" I murmured
"Thank YOU" he said emphasizing the word you "being with you it's always the best part of my day"
His words seemed sincere and for a lapse of a second I felt it, I felt my heart beat at his words, I gave a shy smile while my cheeks turned red
"You are so cute" he chuckled "I have to go! Have a good weekend!" he waved at me getting farther apart and walking to his red Suzuki jeep.
I watched him leave my drive away and went back inside to my room however I got stopped by mom in my way to my safe place.
"So... he is cute" my mom said with wiggly eyebrows making me roll my eyes
"Please no mom"
"What? Is true? Are you guys dating?" she asked with a smile
"No"
"Will you?"
"Mom I don't know—"
"Did you guys you know..."her words were to explanatory for me once I understood what she meant I knew she was going to take a while so I decided to climb upstairs "did you... you know did you do it? "
"Mooom"
"If you did just use protection"
"Mom we studied! Study!" I claimed
"Yeah I know I had your age once too"
"Ewwww I did not need to know that" I mentioned with a disgusted face walking into my room, is everyone crazy?
Finally my room. I closed the door a g**k a deep breath while leaning on it. What a crazy afternoon!
"Are you tired of studying sciences?" an annoying voice asked coming from my bedroom. I didn't even want to look at him since I knee it would just get me madder, but I couldn't control myself but to watch what the hell he was doing in my room.
"Or of not studying?" he was sat down in my bed is arms extended back supporting his upper body and of course his smirk was difficult to notice, also the amount of pillows that were exactly were he was seated were now on the floor
"Why are you in my room?" I asked as I picked up my pillows
"Just checking if you needed help studying"
"Are you that obsessed with Science?"
"No but you must be, I mean an A+ grade student asking for tutoring from a B- student is quite an interesting choice"
"Why are you so interested in my life?" I asked while he shrugged his shoulders
"It's quite interesting... and don't talk to me like that I bet your brother doesn't want to know about Chase tutoring lessons" this words took me back to a few months ago, and that makes sense me to think about the secret I held dearly.
"You can't tell my brother, he would freak out and you know it"
"I do. Your brother is very impulsive" he then smiled as the words kept leaving his mouth "by the way are telling me to keep a secret"
I threw a pillow at his face with an angry face "Just do it!"
"Another secret to keep..." he chuckled to himself "you keep owning me"
"May I remind you, you also have a secret? That can literally punch you in the face" I warned him
"You're right... should I be scared?" he questioned placing the pillow behind him "are you going to tell on me?"
"I am serious" I said while throwing another pillow to his face "stop playing around"
"Why should I? Annoying you is quite fun" he said while placing another pillow behind him
"Being annoyed is not" I said throwing another pillow at him but this time he caught it and placed it on his lap, his arms rested above my pillow and I saw the way his tattoos covered all his right arm;
"Fine...I will stop annoying you for today." he said looking at me, his head lifted a bit as his eyes interlocked with mine "But don't forget that you owe me two secrets now" he said with a small smirk
"You are never going to let it go, are you?" I asked looking at his eyes his dark eyes. My question was simple but it somehow changed the expression on his face and also his posture, he got up and took some steps closer to me, a couple of inches away from me, but where I could sense his breath since he looked down and back into my eyes.
Due to the height difference, I had to look up at his dark eyes that held something that I could not describe and he said 6 simple words "Do you really want me to?"
"Wouldn't it be better?" I kind of whispered, due to the closeness, in the tone of a question.
"That was not my question" he murmured back "Tell me when you have the answer" he said as his eyes roamed mine and after some seconds that seemed an eternity our eyes unlocked and he left my room.
He left leaving me with an uneasy feeling, thinking back and traveling back to those memories that I do badly wish to forget.
If he keeps on threathing me like this I am afraid of what he might do, and if he can really keep my secret shut.
