isabelleronin Presents: Bonus Scene from Chasing Red

Hi, guys! My name is Isabelle aka isabelleronin. I was thrilled when Kelly invited me to participate in the Wattpad Block Party Winter Edition II! I'd like to share with you a bonus scene I wrote for Chasing Red. This particular scene happened after Chapter 2.2. Happy reading! 

CHASING RED 

Written by isabelleronin

Wet dreams were a thing of the past for me.

Or so I thought.

Lifting the blanket, I took a peek. Then let out a frustrated groan as I plopped back down in bed.

What was she doing to me?

Resigned, I closed my eyes. An image of Red in that red lacy underwear as she jumped off the bridge with me flashed in my head.

And then without it...

I felt myself twitch.

"Damn."

This was pretty pathetic. I felt like a maniac.

The cold shower didn't help. I had three hours to go before my class started so I pounded an hour on the treadmill, another on weights. By the time I drove to school, I felt a little more relaxed.

Music blasted from my earphones as I headed to class. I was a little early, but that was nothing new. I'd normally hang with the guys. Have a few laughs, bullshit about sexual conquests or rag each other about anything, but I wasn't in the mood for that today.

Dumping my backpack on the floor, I sprawled on my seat, dragging my hoodie down to cover my eyes. And deter anyone who wanted to chat.

Why was she avoiding me like I had leprosy?

The last time I saw her was a few days ago after I told her I wouldn't be able to pull away next time. It was the simple truth. I liked her.

I wanted her.

She was different. She did something to me. What it was I hadn't figured out yet.

I'd like to think I knew all types of girls. Red appeared to be cool and collected, but I could feel her fire burning just below the surface. There were a few moments where I pushed the right button so that her cool and collected disappeared and that low burning fire turned into a red blaze.

She was a hellcat, her eyes glinting with anticipation every time I threw a challenge at her. But she wouldn't let herself respond, holding on to her control like a lifeline.

Life had thrown her a bad hand, made her homeless and broke. She'd put up layers to protect herself.

I wanted to be the one to peel those layers one by one and find the real woman beneath.

When I felt smooth hands pull my hoodie back, I opened my eyes.

"Hi, Caleb."

Lily's blue eyes blinked at me, her soft pink lips curving into a smile. She was gorgeous, no doubt. A lock of her silky blonde hair fell on the side of her face. Any hot blooded male would want to touch.

So what the hell did it say about me that I didn't?

What the hell was wrong with me?

"Hey, Lil."

She angled her head to the side, looking at me expectantly.

I waited a beat.

Another lock of her hair fell and bounced on the other one already on her face.
