High School Scandal (A BoyxBoy Romantic Comedy)

~Scandal~11

      I covered my eyes with a hand and chuckled. Something bubbled up within me and my chuckles turned to laughter. Derek..you idiot.

      "What?" He barked, "what's so damn funny?"

      I stopped laughing and looked at him. "Derek, what exactly do you think happened between us back there?"

     He stared at me, eyes landing on my lips. "I...I don't know."

     He doesn't know...

     I closed my eyes and sighed. How naive can a person be? How could he not realize it? No...this is Derek we're talking about. I really know how to pick them, don't I? I chuckled to myself.

      "Hey," Derek drew my attention back to him, clearing his throat. "Uh...did you...did you feel anything?"

      I blinked at him. "Feel anything?"

      He cleared his throat again, shoving his hands in his jean pockets. "Yeah...like...I don't know. Nevermind. Forget it."

      "No," I said, taking a step towards him, "tell me what you were going to say."

      He scratched his neck, looking sheepish again. "Not to sound all gay, cause I'm not but...I don't know. I think I may have..." he shrugged, "felt something."

     I swallowed, heart drumming excitedly against my chest at his simple words. "What did you feel?"

     Derek scowled. "I don't know, man. That's just it. I felt something. To be honest I thought I would probably puke my guts after kissing you but..." he shrugged again, "it wasn't so bad I guess."

     I held my breath but kept my face calm and controlled. "You...you didn't feel disgusted?"

     He looked thoughtful for a second then he shook his head. "No, guess I didn't. Still felt weird but...I wasn't exactly disgusted."

      I took a step closer. "Was it..." I hesitated, "did it feel...nice?"

      He looked at me and fired my own question at me. "Did it feel nice to you?"

      I looked away. "You weren't bad."

      "What!?"

      The hard tone of his voice made me look at him again. He was glaring at me now. "What the hell do you mean by 'you weren't bad'?"

     I suddenly wanted to laugh at how comical his face looked but I kept myself in check, lazily shrugging. "Like I said. You weren't bad."

     He stomped towards me until he was only inches away. "Hey, for your information girls think I'm one hell of a kisser."

      "That's nice."

      His eyes narrowed. I could practically see his nostrils flaring from my unspoken challenge. I knew I was goading him on, intentionally teasing him to provoke him. I couldn't help it. Derek just seemed to bring out this side of me. A teasing side I wasn't even aware that I had.

      "Hey," he growled, "I could do better than that."

      I smiled slyly. "Could you?"

      "Hell yeah I could."

      "Prove it," I found myself saying in a daring whisper.

      He opened his mouth then closed it, lips setting in a grim line. His brows furrowed as he stared at me. I waited for his response, never letting my face show just how much I eagerly waited for his words.
