Chapter 17 ║ Had A Flight Again

"Also, don't change the topic," Draco said.

"Ugh, fine," I said thinking for an answer that wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings.

"Both of you are really good. Just in different fields. Draco is a Seeker because he is good at it and Jacob is a Keeper because he's good at it," I said with a smirk.

"Wow, real smart answer Maeve," Jacob said while patting my head, like always.

"Guess you're right. But anyways, I have to go," Draco said while leaving.

"I think I should go too. I'll probably go to the library or something," I said trying to leave but Jacob stopped me.

"No, stay a bit longer," he said.

"Wh-" I was cut off by Jacob dragging me over to the broom.

"Oh no no no no no. Hell no! Not again." I said as I realised what he was trying to do.

"Come on. It's gonna be fun. Besides, I had promised to make your fear go away," he said smirking.

"And I told you. It. Will. Never.," I said.

I didn't even realize and I was sat on the broom until it took off.

"Jacob NOOOOOO," I practically screamed.

Hell, I didn't even realize I was sitting on the broom facing him. I was flying backwards.

"Relax darling, just don't look down and feel the cool breeze," he said widely smiling down at me.

All I could do was see how high we were from the ground. I couldn't help but shake and look down at the pitch.

"Jacob Nawaro. Get me down right now," I ordered as sternly as I could through the fear in my voice.

He stopped the broom in mid-air.

I swear I'm gonna kill him as soon as I get down.

"Alright, we'll get down in a few minutes. But you gotta look up. See, we're at the same height as the birds," he said.

I tried but just couldn't take my eyes off of the ground.

He gently grabbed my chin and made me face him.

"Nothing's gonna happen to you. Okay. Just don't look down. If you're too scared to look around, just look at me and ignore everything else." he said as I did so.

He was right. I actually didn't feel fear in that moment. All I did was zone out in my thoughts while looking at his eyes.

We were both just staring at each other's eyes. Looking at each other deeply.

Merlin, how did I not realize he had such beautiful eyes. That perfect smile. And when he smirks...

Stop Nyx, stop. What are you doing? He is your friend. He probably doesn't even think of you that way.

I tried stopping myself from thinking that nonsense, but God, I just couldn't.

We still didn't break the eye contact and there came a moment.

He leaned in a bit. I tried so hard not to do the same, but my body neglected my brain. I also leaned in. He came a bit more closer until we were practically feeling each other's warm breaths on us.

And just when I thought it couldn't get any better, he took a quick glance at my lips and back to my eyes.

I felt like there was a knot tying in my stomach and there were a million butterflies running around in my stomach.

God, what is happening.

I've never felt this before.

What should I do?
