Justice hid out all weekend. Not that she was feeling particularly social after what had happened. Her mum was still in the hospital resting. Stephan was being kept in holding until it was sure that charges were being pressed against him - however Justice was pretty sure that wouldn't happen. Her mother was an extremely forgiving person, always her downfall.  And on top of all that, as much as it perturbed her, her mind kept drifting back to a certain green eyed male.

The kiss.

Oh dear god. Every time she thought about it she fought the urge to plunge her face into something cushy and scream. Why had she let that happen? Why?
She wasn't even sure that she liked Angel like that. He was just a guy who had a knack for getting under her skin so why was she now in a constant state of daydream thinking about his lips?
How could someone so incessantly annoying have lips so soft?
Her face heated up so much at the thought  that she couldn't even face him. That's why when he showed up the next day to get her she practically begged Melody to tell him that she was super sick and couldn't come out.

Luckily, having Carlos around the house was a big distraction. It'd been a while since all 3 siblings had been under the same roof and it would be a lie if she said she wasn't enjoying it. Even with all the arguing between her siblings.

"So what makes you think you can move to my friends? I swear to god Melody, if you were a boy I would knock you out."

It was a Monday morning and they'd managed to get into an argument already.

"What is the big deal?"

"The big fuckin deal is that he's got a girl. And a baby." Carlos sat forward glaring at Melody who was rolling her eyes.

"Don't act like I'm the bad guy here. Your bredrin didn't exactly say no, did he?"

"Melody," he said pausing " I will box you you know."

"Guys?" Justice sighed and put down her glass of OJ. "Can you please just chill? It's way too early."

"Nah, but why couldn't you be like J? Why you gotta be a sket? Aren't you embarrassed of yourself?"

"Ah yes." Melody clasped her hands together bitterly. "I was waiting for this. Let's compare bad girl Melody to the angel on earth Justice."

"Melody." Justice said in a bored tone.

Melody was the queen of deflecting. Any time someone tried to address her ... indiscretions, she always tried to push the focus on to someone else or how unfairly she was treated.

"What?" She spat. "Just because I happen to be sexually liberated," Carlos made a noise to showcase his disgust but she chose to ignore him.
"And you happen to be little miss frigid, I should be ashamed and apologetic?"

Justice just rolled her eyes but couldn't help but think about how good melody would look drenched in her orange juice.

"Oh melody shut up man! You're a hoe and you need to fix up your life before you fuckin catch something." He said with a mouth full of bacon. "I'm making a stand now. I swear to god, if I hear about any more of your fuckin antics..."

"Sorry Dad."

He pointed at her and narrowed his eyes. "Carry on innit."

"I'm going to college." Justice said pushing her chair back.

"You want a lift?"

"No," She knew he'd only want to cuss Melody some more in the car and she couldn't have her head filled with all that so early in the morning. "I like walking. I'll see you later..."

She'd be lying if she said she hadn't expected Angel to be waiting outside for her. She'd also be lying if she said she wasn't slightly disappointed that he wasn't. He wasn't even at the gate when she reached the college, nor was he in the atrium when she stepped inside. Vanessa was though, and she was the first person who ran up to Justice and dragged her down an empty corridor.

"What the fuck happened to you on Saturday?! You just dipped."

"Yeah, I had some-"

"And what the fuck is this about you giving someone head in my room?!" Vanessa hissed.

"OMG..."

She'd only just remembered that that was even still a thing. Honestly, she still couldn't see how the boys had got to that conclusion. It was ridiculous.

Michelle rounded the corner and jogged up to them. eager to get in on the gossip.

"So?" She pestered. "Did you do it? And how big is his d*ck?"

"MICHELLE!" They both yelled in response. Justice groaned and slid down the wall wishing for the first time ever that she could skip college altogether and go back home.

"It's not that bad J," Michelle tapped her shoulder. "Bare girls give brain these days."

"I didn't do it!" She swatted away Michelle's hand and stood up abruptly. "Who told you this? Devonte?"

Vanessa shook her head. "No, Devonte's fuming about it. But it wasn't him."

"Then who said it?" She frowned.

"Cameron told everyone that you did." Michelle said biting her lip.

"What?!" Justice yelled "But he- He knows I didn't. I was helping him get his stupid earring. That's it."

Both girls looked at each other then back at Justice.

"I'm barely used to having someone else's tongue in mouth. Never mind a reproductive organ!!"

Vanessa snorted and put her arm around Justice's shoulder. "You're so different man. Relax, we didn't believe it anyway. But you should know that bare heads are talking about it. And Sephora seems to just be telling anyone who'll fucking listen." She said screwfacing.

"Great."

"You just have to bare it for a week. Come saturday there'll be another motive where a true hoe was moving dirty and you'll be old news."

Justice could only chuckle dryly in response and made her excuses before running to business studies. Most of the class were already sat at their desks, Angel included. He was sat at the back with Katie like he used to be and Justice couldn't help but feel a little hurt by it. So what, he was just gonna kiss her and then switch seats like he didn't know her? Cool. Devonte didn't sit by her either, in fact he didn't even acknowledge her. The only time he did was to give her a disgusted look. That hurt too.

Seriously? Why weren't people smart enough to know what's fact and what's rumour?

She wasn't too put out as the lesson went on. Luckily, there was no group work in the lecture, so she managed to just get her work done. With Angel annoying her on one side and Devonte distracting her on the other, she hadn't been able to concentrate this well in forever. When the bell rang for next period, she shot up out of there to avoid any awkward encounter.

Angel watched her scurry out of the room and inwardly cursed. He'd wanted to talk to her but his pride wouldn't let him. After her little avoidance tactics this past weekend, he felt rejected. He'd never been rejected by a girl in all his 18 years of life, so he was at a loss. He was 100% sure it wasn't because of how he'd kissed her. He was more than skilled with his lips. So what was her issue? On top of that, he'd had to come up with a lame excuse as to why he'd shown up at home that day without her in tow. How was he supposed to explain to his father that he'd shown up without her because he'd given into lust and kissed her?

It didn't help that the little situation between her and Cameron had gotten spread around. No matter who he was stood with he heard it and it was starting to irk him.

"Look at her running out. Tbh I would too if I was her." Katie said as she packed her things.

"Why?" A boy called Michael asked. "What happened?"

"Yo, didn't you hear? She gave head at some house party the other day."

Michael dropped his books. "What?! Justice????"

Katie nodded with raise eyebrows and Michael shook his head. "Nah, you're lying."

"Swear down! The guy is saying it himself. "

Angel kept quiet but could feel the anger in him rising. Every time someone spoke about it, the image flashed in his head. He felt like breaking something. Or someone.

"Madting! I didn't think she was like that you know."

Devonte kissed his teeth in the distance and stormed out while Katie and Michael sniggered.

"Boy, that's what happens when you catch feelings for a hoe."

"I beg you shut up Katie." Angel snapped.

Katie shrunk back a little as her face darkened in embarassment. "S-Sorry, I was only-"

"Just stop running your mouth about things you don't even know about! Were you there at the party?"

"No." She said meekly.

"Well then." He said cutting his eye and walking off.

His next lesson was art but he wasn't sure if it would be the best idea to go. Justice would be in there for one, and he didn't think he was stable enough to be around her.  He also wasn't in the mood to deal with Sephora and her little minion Rachel. Instead of going to art, he headed out to the field. He'd expected it to empty but it seemed like a lot of people felt like skipping 2nd period. That, or they had a free.

He didn't know why but he found himself walking to that little spot that Justice was so fond of. The spot under the trees.

He hadn't expected her to be sitting there.

He slowed down and watched her as she scribbled in her little scrap book. Her face held a slight frown and her tongue peeked out the corner of her mouth as she concentrated, something Angel always found so cute. She obviously didn't hear him approaching because when he spoke to her she jumped.

"JEEZ! Don't do that!"

"Do what?" He asked inclining his head.

"Creep up on people like that. I could've had a heart attack." She picked up her pencil and attempted to draw again. Well attempted to look like she was drawing. She was a little preoccupied on account of the way her heart was slamming against her chest.

"What are you doing out here? Aren't you cold?" He said shoving his hands in the pocket of his dark jeans.

"I'd rather be cold than have everyone staring at me and whispering." She murmured.

"That's the price you have to pay for drunken party antics." He said settling down next to her.

Justice glared at him. "If you're trying to get me mad, you're going the right way about it." She spat.

"I'm sorry. I know- I mean, I believe you anyway."

Justice was glad he did, but she couldn't help but notice that he wouldn't look at her. Not properly anyway. He used to do nothing but stare and bore into her with his pretty eyes, but now it seemed that everything else around them was so much more interesting.

"Well at least someone does. Apparently Cameron has been running around telling people that I did .. you know."

"Yeah I heard."

"Max wants to beat him up for me." She giggled quietly.

"So do I." He said responsively. Justice looked at him and for a second he looked at her before looking away to fiddle with the grass. "I hate man like that. Proper wet to lie about doing things with a girl."

"Yeah well..."

"So are you better now?" He said finally turning to look at her.

"Huh? Wha-"

"You were sick. This weekend. That's why you couldn't come to see me."

She felt the heat under the surface of her cheeks and cleared her throat a little. "Oh. Um, yeah. All better now."

"Good. " He said standing up before brushing himself off. "Then you can come with me after college today then."

"Umm ... No, I have to-"

"Justice. Forget about the kiss okay? It was ... it shouldn't have happened." He looked down at her while she could only blankly stare back. "It doesn't have to be awkward between us. I'm still here to help you and there's still things you need to know. So ... after college yeah?"

She didn't answer straight away. She was trying to process what he'd said to her. Something about help and knowing stuff, and oh yeah! That what had happened between them was a big fat mistake.

She only nodded in response to his question and again when he said he was going back inside. She was far from a mute but what does one say to a boy who gave you a really great first kiss and then says it shouldn't have happened? She sat there for a minute trying to gather up how she felt and in the end she realised that she was angry. Angry that she wasted her first kiss on a prick who seemed to enjoy pissing her off.

She gathered up her stuff and shoved it in her bag before storming off towards the building. She was headed for the library to do some work and wait for Max to finish his lesson. She'd decided that after that they were both taking the day off and going to his to watch crappy TV and eat crappy food to go with it.

As she was walking up to building, she noticed that Devonte was walking down. She suddenly remembered that the last time she'd spoken to him he'd called her a hoe and that made her more angry than she was before. That's why she decided to step in front of him and block his way.

"What d'you want?" He said in a bored sigh.

"Don't worry. I'm not here to beg you to believe me, because you've obviously already made your mind up. But I want you to do something for me."

"Yeah? What's that?"

"Tell your stupid friend to shut his mouth and stop spreading around bullshit."

Devonte laughed a little and shook his head. "So what? You telling me it's not true yeah?"

She narrowed her eyes, suddenly aware that Devonte wasn't nearly as attractive as she'd once thought he was. "Tell me, what exactly did your friend say we did?"

"I'm not-"

"Tell me. I'm curious."

Devonte sighed again. "What you don't remember telling him you wanted to fuck him? Then giving him head? Did you drink that much?"

For a split second she was lost for words. After that she spent a good 2 seconds thinking about whether she should waste her time explaining to Devonte how much it wasn't true.

"I'm gonna tell you something. Whether you choose to believe it or not is fine by me. I'm a virgin Devonte. And when I say that, I reeeeally mean it. A virgin in all senses. No male hands have ever touched my body and believe it or not, I've never even seen male genitals in a real life setting. So when I tell you that I didn't put your friends dick in my mouth, I mean it. I wouldn't even know what to do with it."

She watched as he stood in front of her with his mouth slightly open and a face full of shock and somehow it only annoyed her more.

"You're a virgin?!"

"Is that the only thing you took from what I said?" She said waving in front of his face. "I DIDNT DO ANYTHING WITH YOUR FRIEND." She sighed loudly and barged past his walking up the steps before halting and turning back around.

"Tell you're friend to stop chatting shit before I have my brother smash his face in." And then she walked off.

As it turned out, Max wasn't all that fond of her 'skipping class' idea. Infact, he told her off for running away and said that it only made her look like she was actually guilty. That's how she came to be sitting at a lunch table with him in the canteen, hoping the floor would open up and swallow her whole.

"It's alright for you to accuse me of hiding but you're not the one who has to be subject to a thousand eyes glaring at you."

"At least people know who you are now." He said shrugging and shoving another forkful of pasta in his gob.

"When have I ever stated that I wanted people to know who I am?!" She hissed across the table.

"I'm just saying that there's no such thing as bad publicity."

Justice sat back in her chair and folded her arms. "You are going to do so well in PR."

"Hence why I'm going to uni for it." He said with a 'duh' face.

She was just about to throw one of her fries at him when Vanessa came sprinting over to their table out of breath.

"Vanessa?" Justice said wide eyed. "What is it?"

"Outside ... Angel ... Cameron ...Fight!"

"What!" She shot up and Max shot up with her.

"Just come!!!"

Justice rushed to grab her stuff and followed behind her, urging Max to come with her. The 3 of them ran through the college building with people gradually following behind them. Everyone knew that Vanessa pretty much only ran for two things: food & drama.

"Vanessa explain! What happened?" She asked while she was trailing behind her.

"I dunno. They were just talking about something and the next thing I know Angel threw a punch!"

"OMG."

"YES. When I say it was the sweetest punch I've ever seen, like the way it just connected with his jaw was beautiful man!"

They ran down the steps at the front entrance and saw the crowd that had basically formed a kind of semi circle around the brawling boys. Vanessa dragged Justice through the crowd until she was at the front with Max not too far behind her. Everyone else seemed to find the fight highly amusing with their screaming and howling and recording it on their phones, but it panicked her. She didn't want Angel to get hurt because of her. She tapped Max begging him to do something and as disappointed as Max was he nodded to a couple of other boys in the crowd and they stepped in to pull them apart.

"YO I WILL FUCK YOU UP! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?"

"A pussy by the looks of it," Angel laughed spitting out some blood. "What you can't get gyal? Is that why you lied about it?"

The crowd Ooh'ed and Aah'ed and Justice rolled her eyes.

"Oh shut up man! You're just sour 'cause you never pressed first." Cameron spudded a guy next to him. "Don't worry fam, I'll let you hit when I'm finished with her."

Angel jutted forward like he was going to go for him again and Cameron flinched a little, laughing it off when he realised Angel wasn't coming.

"I'm telling you one more time. Tell the truth or I'm gonna fuck you up. Mum's life, I'm being so serious. I ain't even started with you yet." Angel said calmly.

"She's right there man," Cameron pointed Justice out in the crowd and gave her a little wave. She noticed that Devonte was standing to the side of him and narrowed her eyes. "Justice, tell them how good my dick tasted."

"I wouldn't know. I've heard around though. Apparently it's a little musty down there, you might wanna shower more."

She could hear the laughter in the background but all she could focus on was Cameron's smug face and how she would love to hit him in it.

"Come on babes!" He said walking towards her. "Tell them how much you liked it. You don't need to be shy and that, just tell-"

He didn't get to finish his sentence because Angel ran at his head first, winding him in the stomach and slamming him to the ground. Once he was down, that was it. Angel ripped into him. You could just see with the way Angel was raising his fists with force that there was nothing Cameron could do but take the punches and swallow the pain. Cameron was trying to punch back and guard himself at the same time, screaming at the top of his lungs. Not that he could even be heard over the sound of the crowd. Justice was hoping he would just give in soon, if Angel carried on she was pretty sure he'd kill him.

"TELL THEM."

Punch in the face.

"TELL THEM NOW."

Uppercut to the jaw.

"I SAID FUCKIN TELL THEM!" He said picking his shoulders up and slamming him back into the ground.

"ALRIGHT! Fuck..." He grimaced. Angel dropped his fist and climbed off him dragging him up by his now bloodied collar. He shook him slightly as if to say go on then and Cameron winced leaning against him slightly.

"She never did it..." He mumbled.

"WHAT?" Angel bellowed dragging him forward. "SPEAK UP FAM. THEY CANT HEAR YOU."

"I SAID SHE NEVER DID IT? OKAY? SHE NEVER DID ANYTHING."

Murmurs of disapproval and mocking went along the crowd and Cameron slumped against Angel obviously in too much pain to stand on his own. Disgusted, Angel shoved him to the floor and spat on him.

"Don't let me ever hear any shit come out your mouth again, you wasteman."

Like clockwork, a bunch of teachers came rushing out the building and the crowd dispersed, Angel amongst it. Vanessa stayed with Justice and Max and spun the teacher a story about how two boys who weren't students here had had a fight and one was very injured. An ambulance was called for Cameron despite his refusal. Angel had gotten him pretty bad, parts of his once handsome face had started to turn an ugly shade of purple. Not to mention the blood pouring out of his nose.

The 3 of them waited until the ambulance had gone before going to the park not far from the college, that was where everyone had run to.

"I cannot BELIEVE it. You basically had the shortest lived rumour of life!" Vanessa exclaimed

"Did you see the way Angel kept hitting him though? Fucking mad!" Max laughed.

Justice could only stare at Max in disbelief. Since when was he like this?

"He could've been hurt." She interjected as the entered the park.

"Not likely! He's not easy at all, there was no way Cameron could get any punches in." Max replied.

"I mean look," Vanessa pointed to the roundabout that Angel was sitting on surrounded by people. "He doesn't even look like he's in any pain."

Justice only looked on as Sephora fussed around him, dabbing at the one cut he'd managed to get on his lip. When he wasn't pushing her away, he was hi-fiving people or spudding boys who suddenly rated him after the fight. It wasn't long before he spotted her and she spotted him spotting her. When his gaze was that intense, it was hard not to.

His eyes were saying "Come here" but she found that her feet were stuck in the ground.

"J? What you doing?" Vanessa frowned. "Come on!"

"No, I ... I just wanted to see that he was okay. I'll thank him later or something."

"But-"

"Sephora's taking good care of him. Besides, I think I left something in the canteen. I should go back and get it."

Vanessa looked at the crowd and then back at Justice, "Okay, well I'll ring you later then."

"Okay." She gave her a small smile and took another quick look at Angel. He was still staring at her but this time frowning a little. She could only imagine his face when she linked arms with Max and walked out of the park.

Angel stood up and watched her leave.

Was she serious? He'd gotten into a fight for her and she turned her back on him? Seriously?!

"Babe, sit back down. You're in a lot of pain."

"I said I'm fine man." He said trying to yank Sephora off him.

"Yo, I can't believe Cameron is such a wasteman." Femi said holding his belly and laughing. "Like, how you gonna lie, then get fucked up for it? Waste guy!"

"This is all because of Justice!" Sephora screamed. "If it wasn't for her your face wouldn't be like this! Does it hurt?"

Angel was about to answer her a little more harshly but Vanessa did it for him.

"Sephora stop your noise man. It's not everyday be dramatic you know. Does Angel look like he's in pain? Fucksake."

"Look at his face Vanessa! Look at his split lip?!"

Vanessa opened her mouth to retaliate again but Angel placed a hand on her shoulder and shook his head. They both knew the real reason she was angry was because she was jealous. Angel just figured there was no point in wasting time with Sephora these days.
She annoyed him anyway but ever since his little kiss with Justice, he found her to be even more irritating. He was thinking of ways to drop her out but knew she wasn't the type to easily walk away from whatever it was that they had.
Putting his arm around Vanessa he pulled her over to the side.
"What's up with Justice? Is she alright?"

"What, J? Yeah, yeah she's fine. I think she just got a bit overwhelmed that's all. She was kinda worried about you."

"Worried? Why?" His heart sped up a little.

"Guess she didn't want you to get hurt." She shrugged and slyly slipped over to Femi who Angel was sure Vanessa had a little thing for. He knew for a fact that Femi liked her and didn't understand why the two of them wouldn't just go for it. It was like there was some law forbidding them to be together. That would be a valid reason ....

His mind drifted to Justice again as Sephora wrapped her arm's around him, hugging him from the back.

"Wanna dip? We could go back to mine..." She asked quietly.

"Nah there's something I've gotta do first. I'll probably call you later or something."

"Oh," She said slowly dropping her arms. "Well where are you going? I can come with you."

Angel rolled his eyes and started walking off but she followed him.

"Angel!" She said grabbing his elbow. "I said I'll come with you!"

"Chill Sephora! I said I'd bell you later."

"You're going to her aren't you?" She said stopping in her tracks. "Am I missing something? What spell has she got over you for you to be getting into fights over her and following her around?"

Angel could only blink in response because honestly? He was wondering the same damn thing.

Not that he told Sephora that.

Instead he just kissed his teeth. "This whole hate on Justice thing is getting mad old you know. I said I've got things to do. If you wanna take that as something to do with Justice then cool."

Sephora watched him walk off into the distance and fell her blood boiling. It was clear to her now, more than ever that she was gonna have to deal with Justice.  She just had to figure out how.
---

Winter was rolling around and the evening skies had started to get a lot darker, but Justice had always found comfort in darkness. That's why she refused when Max had offered to walk her home after their little study session in the library.

"I literally live like 10 minutes away."

"It's dark and your little." Max frowned. "It'll take all of 2 minutes for someone to pick you up and run with you."

"You really don't rate me at all do you?" She said hands on hips. "Just go! I'll be fine."

"... Fine. But call me as soon as you get in."

"Yes sir!" She yelled saluting and standing to attention. She watched as Max rolled his eyes and waved goodbye to her then started walking down the street.
After around 2 minutes, she felt like she could feel a presence behind her. She wasn't sure who it was, but that person was giving off an eery type of vibe that had a shiver going down her spine.
Too scared to look behind her, she sped up, inwardly cursing Max, because he had obviously jinxed her with his worrying.
Even as she power walked she still couldn't shake the feeling that had taken over her. It was almost like she could feel someone watching her, waiting in the background for a good time to pounce.
She took a risk and peeked behind her and nearly jumped out of her skin when she thought she saw the outline of someone standing not too far behind her.

"Oh hell no. Fuck this." She muttered gearing herself up to sprint.
There was no way in hell she was getting kidnapped and murdered. There was so many things she had to do first. Like find out whether or not Jon Snow had actually died at the end of Season 5 of Game Of Thrones.
She picked up her speed and dipped around the corner, deciding to take a detour to her house.
She'd turned her head to look back for a split second to see if whoever it was was still behind her and when she turned back to the front,  she ran smack bang into someone's chest.
That someone's warm hands steadied her as she rocked and the grip felt oddly familiar.

"Woah! You alright?"

She looked up briefly and green eyes looked back at her.

"OMG." She exhaled wrapping her arms around him. Angel stiffened for a second, shocked by the sudden contact, then as if it was the most natural thing to do, he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and held her to him.
Her hair smelt like blueberries and he couldn't resist burying his nose in it..
"What's wrong?" He asked softly.

"I thought someone was following me." She breathed, trying to catch her breath. "There was .... I dunno. I just felt like ..."
She stopped and pulled back realising that she probably sounded and looked crazy. Especially hugging him like that.

"Never mind. What are you doing around here?"

"I was looking for you. Did you forget you promised to come with me after college?"

"Oh yeah ...."  She had genuinely forgot after all the commotion with the fight. "Sorry."

"Well come on then." He said holding out his hand. Justice looked down at his big hand and swallowed. It's not like holding hands meant anything right? He was just guiding her to his car...
Angel watched her as she obviously had a private debate with herself about whether to grab his hand. He thought about just withdrawing it but that would be another blow to his pride. So instead, he grabbed her hand and pulled her with him.
They walked like that, in silence. Her little hand in his. And though neither of them would care to admit it, the little moment between them was ... Nice.

"Umm..." She started as they strolled hand in hand.

"What?"

"What you did today ...."

He raised his eyebrows and waited for her to continue.

"The fight."

"What about it?"

"It was a really stupid thing to do." He stopped walking and she stopped too. "Really stupid and-"

"Are you-?!"

"I'm not finished." She stated. He opened his mouth to say something again but decided against it, gesturing for her to continue.  She let go of his hand and turned her back to him sighing.

"What you did was really stupid. You could've been kicked out or worse, hurt, BUT it was ... Kinda sweet of you."

Angel bit his lip to hide his smile but the corners of his lips were still turning up.

"So what I'm trying to say is," She turned back around to face him and noticed the big smug grin on his face. "Seriously? What are you smiling about?"

He attempted to stop smiling but couldn't help it.

"You were worried about me." He said giddily.

"Oh honestly Angel," she said walking off. "You've got to get a grip. Here I am trying to thank you and you're-"

Angel pulled her back and in the midst of everything she somehow managed to trip and almost fall. Right into his arms.

She wasn't sure if her heartbeat was racing because she nearly face planted the floor or because of how closely he was holding her.
He held her so tightly, with his head so close to hers that she suddenly felt a hot flush on a cold winter night. She just so happened to notice that his lips weren't that far away from hers either. Just a random observation, that's all.

They stayed in that embrace for a minute while Angel fought with himself about what to do. She was so close to him. He could feel her erratic breathing tickling his cheek as he looked down at her.
All he had to do was lean in and touch her lips with his and he could satisfy that hankering feeling he'd be harbouring since the last time he kissed her.
He leant in a little closer and Justice almost puckered her lips until she felt him pull back and let her go.
