"Hi." I say to Celeste as she walks past my car. She ignores me and I say it again. "Hi," I say again and she passes by without a word. I stare at her in shock. I've been nothing but nice to this girl but she's always been mean.
I follow her into to the store wondering what it would take for her to just say hello to me. I have been waiting for her to give me the light of day for a year now.
I reach out and touch her arm softly. She just and then screams making me stop in my tracks.
"What the hell?" She says swatting my hand away, she looks up at me with a snarl on her face and it makes me smile. "And what the fuck are you smiling at?" She says taking her headphones off.
"I didn't know you had such a potty mouth," I say amused and she scawls at me.
"Wha do you want?" She says annoyed.
"I wanted to say hi to you," I say and she rolls her eyes at me. I smile surprised by her reaction. "And introduce myself," I say and she looks me up and down like she wants to size me up.
"I know who you are." She says walking away. I grab her arm gently stopping her.
"But I don't know you," I say lying to her. I know her full name and yes including her middle name. I know where she lives. I even know what classes she takes in school.
I have known about her for a very long time. She tries to hide herself from the world but I see her. I see the body she hides under all of the baggy layers she carries with her. She's smoking hot but she doesn't know it. And I love that about her.
I'm not embarrassed to say that I'm a little obsessed with her.
I've been keeping my distance from her because I was waiting.
I needed to give her time to mature, I first noticed two years ago. Normally I would have gone for her then but she was too young and she's special to me. I wasn't going to expose her to my madness at sixteen.
Now that she's older I have nothing holding me back.
I want her and I want and I'm going to do everything in my power to get her.
"So, I'm Ray and you are?" I ask her holding out my hand to shake her hand. She looks back at it and then she turns and walks away. "Nice to meet you too," I say and she flat-out ignores me.
She might ignore me today but she's not going to going to be able to ignore me anymore.
This is the beginning of a great thing.
I watch her walk away with a smile on my face. She thinks she hates me now but she's going to beg me to be her boyfriend when I'm done with her.
I flip onto my back taking her with me. I look up at her and move her legs to my side making her straddle me. I don't think she realizes it but she grinds her pussy into me and I smile. Her mind might be fighting with her but her body wants me.I quickly sit up and go in foe the kill with a wet kiss. I plunge my tongue into her mou, making her moan as I fuck her mouth with mine.I tighten my arm around her waist, drawing her in until I can feel her heartbeat through the thin fabric between us. Her skin is warm, her hair brushes my jaw, and everything in me aches - not with hunger, but with something gentler, deeper.She calls out my name softly when I break the kiss and I kiss her neck, I mean to be careful, light. Just enough to let her know I’m there. But she breathes in sharply, and I feel her hand sl
It’s been an hour since Celeste fell asleep.The room is quiet now the kind of quiet that hums. The wind outside brushes gently against the curtains, making them dance every few minutes. Somewhere in the distance, a dog barks once, and then it’s gone.She’s lying next to me, her breathing slow and even. Peaceful. I haven’t seen her like this in a long time not since before everything went wrong.I shift a little, careful not to wake her, and she stirs in her sleep. Her hand moves instinctively toward me, finding my arm, and then her legs brush against mine. The contact is so small, so human, that it makes my chest ache.She leans into me, still lost in sleep, her head resting just under my chin. I can feel the warmth of her breath against my neck, the fai
We walk into my room, and it feels smaller than usual. Too quiet. Too close. The air between us hums with something I can’t name, anger, want, confusion. Maybe all of it at once.She’s standing in the middle of the room, her hands twisting in front of her, her eyes flicking around like she’s trying to convince herself this was a bad idea. And I… I’m fighting every single instinct in my body.Every muscle in me wants to reach for her. To pull her in. To taste the skin I’ve been dreaming about for a month. It would be so easy, too easy to close the space between us. But I don’t.Instead, I walk over to the bed and sit down, my elbows resting on my knees. My brain is screaming at me to move, to say something, to do something. But I stay still. Watching her. Letting her decide what happens next.Her eyes widen slightly, like she can’t believe I’m not reacting the way I used to. Like she’s wait
It’s 3 a.m. and I’m sitting on my bed, my palms pressed hard into the mattress as if it can keep me from falling apart. The world is silent except for the faint hum of the fridge downstairs and the occasional car passing far away. My phone screen is blank. No messages. No calls.I should feel relieved. This is what I wanted, no Liam. No drama. No chaos. Just space to breathe. And yet… here I am. Wide awake, heart clawing at my ribs like it’s trying to escape.I tilt my head toward the window. The sky outside is black, endless. It feels like it’s pressing down on me. I wonder if he’s awake somewhere, thinking of me too. Wondering if I miss him.The thought makes me groan. I squeeze my eyes shut, press my palms to my face, try to force myself back to sleep. I try counting backwards. I try focusing on the sound of my breathing. Nothing works.This ache in my chest, low and heavy, won’t go away. It’s like
