Chapter 48
I was leaning against Alanna's car waiting on her coming out. Jake had sent me a few more messages but I had yet to read them. I didn't know what to do about him. I wanted to get to know him more but I didn't want to put myself right out there."Hey girl". She smiled. "Good to go?"."Yeah".Alanna didn't quite seem herself, the ride home was quiet but it wasn't awkward. "Are you okay?". I asked."I'm okay". She smiled. "Just feel a little sick but I'll be fine. Are you good?"."I'm glad there's no school for two days. I plan on spending them in my pjs". I had already decided I wasn't going to the beach tonight. I just wanted to chill out with takeout and a movie."Are you not coming tonight?". She asked as we pulled up outside Jakes house. I didn't mind, my house was only round the corner."I don't think so I'm not really in the mood and I really need to study. Ryan's supposed to be coming over to help me but I don't know how long his practice will be"."He seems a little busy to help you out. Wasn't he meant to come by last night?"."What you getting at Alanna?". We were all busy at times. I was just glad he was helping me out."You should ask Jake to tutor you". How did I not see that coming?"Maybe". Unclipping my seatbelt I opened the door and got out. Why would he want to waste his time tutoring me? Surely he was too busy for that.?⒲ⓦ.ℕ?vé?????é.???"He wouldn't mind". She shrugged. "If you change your mind tonight give me a call". I wasn't changing my mind. I had a big bag of hot Cheetos waiting to be eaten."I will". Walking the short distance to my house I noticed George was over, could see his car in the drive. I wasn't sure of what I made of George yet but he did make my gran happy.wŴ?.?ⓞvε??ℍ???.???I could see Jake, he was walking on the opposite side of the street with Jack and a few other guys I met the other night. I had been avoiding his calls and messages all day. Lowering my head I stared at the ground as I walled the rest of the way home. I really needed to start bringing my earphones to school.??⒲.n????sℍo??.???"Your phone broke princess?". I didn't even see him cross the street."It's not". I didn't stop walking.??w.?ôvé?????é.ℂ??
"You're killing me here Leah"."I'm not allowed my phone in school Jake surely you know that?". I sighed."Let me take you out"."Tell me you're not seeing anyone else". I stopped walking so I could look at him. "Tell me I'm not making a mistake and tell me you won't-..."He grabbed me a round the waist pulling me flush against him. I couldn't breath, time had stopped. My skin tingled all over, my heart pounding in my chest.Brushing his nose against mine I couldn't break the stare, I was hypnotised by the color of his eyes. My mouth became dry, my breathing heavy. My body felt like it was on fire, I wanted him to kiss me and do other things that I shouldn't even be thinking."You're mine princess. Do you understand that?".I didn't know what he was saying, right now I didn't care. All I cared about was the way my body felt against his."You're so f*****g beautiful". He growled his lips brushing against mine. "Your smell". He groaned."Leah?". It was like a bucket of cold water had been thrown over me. With my good hand I pushed on his chest but he didn't like that. A snarl fell from his lips as he pushed me behind him."Are you okay?". George asked as he took a step towards me but stopped when a growl ripped from Jakes mouth.What was he doing?"I'm okay George I'll be in just now". As he walked back inside I shoved Jakes arm. "What was that all about?". He snarled I mean who does that?"Nothing". He scowled. "I'll see you later". As he walked away I made my way inside and headed straight upstairs. I didn't need the third degree from my gran because I'm sure George would have told her.Hanging my bag over my chair I hung up my jacket and took off my shoes. Phone in hand I fell onto my bed. I couldn't stop the butterflies in my stomach. I had kissed Jake before but that one was different. It felt right, it felt good, like I was meant to be kissing him.Turning my tv on I started to strip out of my clothes. I had a bath bomb that I'd been wanting to use since I got here but never got round to doing it. Placing my clothes in my washing basket I pulled out a pair of fresh pjs for after my bath.
