.Rise and Fall. (30)

"Duck."

"Shaun."

"The sheep."

"Love."

"You."

He started laughing. And then I realised what I said.

"What? You love me?" How much I wanted to wipe that smirk off his face. He lifted his body now laying on his one side on the bed, tilting his head. He looked so innocent.

I shifted on chair uncomfortably. "I heard hate", I said to which he rolled his eyes.

"Liar liar, your bare ass on fire."

"It doesn't matter, it just a game", I said as I rolled my eyes getting up.

"A game that you just lost", he laughed.

I opened my closet amd started searching for the dress I'd be wearing tonight for the party. I never went to one and had no idea of the theme they follow, or they don't at all. Will they sue me if I wear something casual then?

Maybe something sexy. Urgh!! I don't even know how to act like one.

Finally, I choosed to wear a white crop top with a pair of white jeans and grey long cardigan. I took it out, although I was not sure about my old boring clothes.

Nick was silent the whole time, surprisingly. I turned around only to find him passed out on my bed. How adorable. Another thing about the delinquent I've recently discovered, he loves to take naps, like he sleeps a lot every time he was here. And I don't mind because he looks a lot more peacful and happy.

I dropped the clothes on the floor before kneeling near the bed and I ran my hand through his soft hair. He mumbled some incoherent words inside his mouth with his eyes still closed. I smiled and without thinking I kissed his forehead.

I stood up quickly before I'd start showering with kisses all over his face beacuse lately I'm doing things without even filtering my thoughts. I don't trust myself around him anymore.

I took the chance and got ready while he slept through the whole time.

Checking myself in the mirror, I was doing my hair in a loose braid when I heard the shuffling sound which meant he was awake.

"You didn't tell me we are going out for a date?", he asked with his voice hoarse.

I turned around slowly and I heard him intake a breathe when he saw me, making me blush stupidly. I regained my straight posture even when he was checking me out openly from top to bottom.

"We are not", I said tieing the end of the braid with a rubber band. "But I am." It wasn't a date exactly but I wanted to rub it on his face because I was still mad at him. And somehow I wanted to break his egoistic ass, but did I?

He jumped out of the bed like the flash. Faster than I can even blink before he towered over me.

"With who?", he was deadly serious. The way his eyes darken were enough to cower me away but no, I cannot be always scared of him.

"The guy who didn't abandoned me for some cheerleader and gave me a ride back home."

Why did I even say all that? It sounded so sassy and good inside my head but in words, I sound like a desperate jealous girlfriend.

"What are you... Wait you saw me with Stella?", he asked with confusion drawn all over his face.

"No. Stella? Who is she?", I instantly played dumb. Great going Serena.

"She is my... that's not important. So you're trying to tell me you left me because this guy you're going out with right now gave you a ride?", he asked with anger lacing through his each word. Then, suddenly there was only amusement in his eyes. I blinked and he completely changed his mood, that's how fast he can cover up.
