04] Lab buddies

"Your loss, try not to eat each other," She bit out, sounding mad.

With that, she stomped out of class with her crew in tow, leaving only the both of us in the classroom. When they were gone, he let out a breath and shook his head. All I could do was stare. What just happened? 

"Khalil?" I said, confused. "Are you sure you don't want to change? We hate each other, don't we?" 

He ignored me, writing something on a sticky note. When he was done, he gave me the paper and I saw his address. Still confused, I looked up at him and he squinted.

"Do we?" 

With that rhetorical question, he walked out of the classroom, leaving me behind. Flustered and confused with my heart beating fast.

What was that?

Do we?

KEZIE'S POV

"You guys are what!?" 

I flinched at her tone even though it was over the phone. Sighing and groaning, I kept stuffing my books in my bag as my best friend screamed over the phone.

"God, Naza, why did you miss school? Why are you sick?" She questioned herself as she blamed her body for missing the drama. 

"I should be asking you that! If you were here, all these wouldn't have happened! You could've been my partner and you could've been at the court!" I scolded her but she wasn't hearing all that due to her fan girl screaming. 

"Oh my God! I had no idea that I was such a cockblocker! One day of me not being in school and enemies to lovers, romance begins!"

"Naza!"

"What? He wants you to be his partner! Fuck Gavin! Whooo!" 

I sat down on my bed, with my head in my hands. What will happen when I get there? Would he try to kiss me? Would he tell me more of what I said at the party when I was drunk? 

"Baby? You're not saying anything?" She asked after a while and I sighed within me.

"Because you're annoying, when are you resuming?" I asked and she rolled her eyes.

"Tomorrow! Chill! I'm here for you. Dude, we can't miss the Rowling Dunk!"

My eyes opened widely. The Rowling Dunk. That was a yearly worldwide championship. 

"Wait, when is it?" 

"This July! Next month. Dude, we are going to the biggest hotel! Around the hottest basketball players!" 

I laughed, already excited. "Look, I gotta go."

"Okay, go get some ass!"

"Naza!"

Soon, I was in front of the house that I ran away from earlier last week. I sighed with my heart already starting to slam and rang the bell. Soon, the gateman opened the small gate and his eyes widened as soon as he saw me.

"My drunk boy!" 

I frowned, remembering the nickname he called me earlier.

"Why do you keep calling me that?" I asked him curiously and he just smiled at me.

"You were making a lot of noise that day! You were all over the place, and mostly on my boss! He took care of you. And he took you in after a long minute of screaming and puking."

"Puking!?" I closed my mouth when I realized how much I had screamed. 

Wait, ew. I puked, screamed and we still had sex? How desperate was I? 

"Kezie!" 

My heart began to beat wildly for no reason and I followed the direction of the voice to see him on his room balcony, with a beautiful smile on his face.

"What are you doing there? Come up!" He said again and I nodded weirdly and slowly. Walking through the large compound to the front door.

After greeting the nice cook, who asked me what she should bring up, she directed me to the stairs and I followed them. The Deja Vu hit me when I flew down them before. 

Shamefully, I could even remember the room. As I got to the door, I sighed, breathing in and out while clutching the hand of my bag.

The door jacked open as I was about to knock and I looked at him with the most emotionless look I could pull off but he smiled back as he walked in.

I followed him in and with the way he was smiling, it seemed that he liked the way I was bothered. 

"Make yourself at home. Bring out your books, let's start."

I sat down on his bed and his scent clouded my nose, making me shiver. I was snuggled into these sheets last week. Ignoring the thought, I brought out my books and watched him as he bent down to look into his room fridge. 

He was a snack person and I knew that due to his various flavors of Fox's and Go Slo Icecream. However, I smiled when I saw the Maltesers chocolate. My favorite and I didn't think I could stop myself.

"You like Maltesers too?" I asked and he chuckled with a nod.

"Yeah, wine or water?" He asked, grabbing a Maltesers pack from the fridge.

"We are doing a project, we aren't at a club."

"Water it is then," He said, ignoring my sassy comment. After that, he stepped towards the bed with two bottles of water and one Malteser which he threw on my lap. 

I smiled as I caught it and it made him smirk. Opening it gladly, I popped one into my mouth and he opened the textbook, his eyes flickering between the pages and my lips.

The tension in the air was electrifying but I chose to ignore it and kept on eating the malt chocolate goodness. 

"Ah hah, the map of Antarctica is right here, mark it please," He said and I was a bit distracted by the chocolate. 

"Kezie," He dragged and I dropped the pack, licking my lips to get rid of the chocolate. 

By the time I marked it, I saw him looking at me with hazy eyes. The brown swirl in them had become more ignited which made me a bit flustered, "I'm sorry, I'll stop."

He nodded distractedly and stared at his work, looking for more cities. 

My stomach churned due to the way he looked, so good. He had a habit of wetting his curls which made them look thinner and softer. He also licked his lips, as he turned through the pages and it made me swallow, and look away. 

I tampered with the pack once more, bringing out another ball and he nodded at his book, dropped it aside, and picked up a pencil.

He was usually the nerd but I felt so unserious as I watched him. I chewed the chocolate as he marked another city with a red pen, the stubbing sound, filling the room. 

I popped another ball in my mouth.

"How does it taste?" 

I stopped licking and looked at him. He was still gazing at the large map on the bed, writing down the population of the next place after cold Antarctica. 

"I don't know," I answered, and grudgingly passed the last ball in the pack to him, "You should find out."

He chuckled and looked up from the pack to my face. He looked so pretty as he laughed and I couldn't lie about that.

"Are you that selfish with your chocolate?" He inquired, with his face in a playful mood. 

I rolled my eyes and he shook his head, folding the map. I looked at him confused as he dropped it aside and drew closer to me which made my heart pound.

"That's enough for today, we've done better than all of our classmates." 

I knew it was true. My class was helpless. 

"Keep the chocolate Kezie, I want to taste it from here."

Before I could ask where, he pulled me in by my shirt, jamming my lips to his.

Sparks went through me as he began, caressing my face. It was like his lips were made for mine, with the way they curved and explored my lips. He placed a hand under my jaw and the other on my waist.

I was pretty sure he could taste the chocolate as he kissed me. I moaned and he groaned in response, his hands moved to my legs, and just like a robot, I drew close to him, curving my legs around his waist.

My mind was blank as his tongue molded with mine and pressed my erection to his. I was swimming in pleasure as he decided to move slowly while kissing me. 

"Fuck Khalil," I whimpered as he finally left my lips to suck on my neck. At this point, he could give me a hickey.

"Yes baby," He answered in a husky deep tone, and, for some reason, that turned me on the more. 

My face turned and could explode at the cute endearment as he kept on attacking my neck. Why was I doing this? Why was I enjoying it so much? 

"I don't give girls flowers! I'll give you good wood tho-"

I flew away from his body like it was on fire as soon as the familiar ringtone filled the room.
