Chapter 10- I'm screwed.!!
**Nolan's P.O.V**
"Talking about me sweetheart?" I chuckled. She remembered me. Okay, something is definitely wrong with me. I couldn't stop thinking about her, after our last night. Wow, that sounds really wrong.
I heard her groan mumbling something like Ugh, Not again. everyone around me gasped. She turned red when she realized she said that out loud. She composed herself. "I was joking about that stalker thing, you know that right?" She raised an eyebrow crossing her arms.
I scoffed. "Don't give yourself that much importance love."
Sweetheart?Love? Where did that come from?
"Yeah? Who could be more important than me? You don't count yourself do you?" She wiggled her eyebrows. My friends laughed while the girl beside her tugged her hands to stop, which she ignored.
A high pitched voice broke our glaring contest. "Oh honey, you came for me?"The blondie came to me kissing me fully on my lips, tongue involved. I would have taken on that opportunity if this blue eyed intriguing woman wasn't standing in front of me scrunching her cute button nose in an adorable manner.
I'm turning into a woman!!
I pushed her away and wiped my mouth disgusted. She pouted. "Well, wasn't this a couple made from heaven. You know I was just asking her to see you. You are so perfect together." She sighed dreamily making a heart shape in front of her chest. Blondie grinned not catching the sarcasm in her voice. Why was I with her again? Oh! yeah, she was good in bed.
"We are not a couple," I said stiffly. "We are not?" yelled the blondie beside me.
"A couple of fucks doesn't make us a couple. You know what I'm like and what you are getting yourself into." I shrugged. She gasped beside me "B-but I thought I was special." Her voice broke.
"I never did anything to make you feel I wanted you any other way than getting my fucks. It's your fault to think otherwise Melissa." I know this is cruel but she did agree to no string attached rule and if she thinks I'll live with someone like her it's her own fault.
Slap!
Everyone gasped while the club girl chuckled before covering it with coughs. I glowered at the blonde as she apologized furiously. "Go away from here before I do something that both, you and I will regret." She scurried away from there as fast as she could.
Everything was dead silent until the girl broke it. "Wow..!! That was quite a show. You deserved it though." I glared at her. She held her in surrender. "No need to kill me, dude. Geez, calm down...I was just saying."
"And why did I deserve that? for saying the truth.?" I scowled at her.
"No, I mean even if she was a bitch, that was a really bad way to end things, whatever you had, you were too cruel to her." She said.
"Better a cruel truth than a comfortable delusion.. right?" I argued.
"Right... but when you are living a comfortable delusion it isn't necessary to break the cruel truth in front of so many people who are ready to judge you even if you are not the wrong person, it leaves you vulnerable with a crushed self-confidence and heart, which hurts a million times more than the slap on your face." She said in an angry voice. I saw hurt flashes through her eyes before she covers it with a dazzling smile. "And it was worse when you said her name wrong." She laughed. It was a forced one "Man! I would have beaten the crap out of you if you had said my name wrong."
"Oh, here you are, Jesus, five minutes.... I leave you alone for minutes and you've gone missing. You have any idea how long I and Noah had been looking for you?" I heard a voice say. The girl looked at someone behind me as a wide and genuine smile took over her face. "Suprise cupcake." Another familiar voice piped in.
She skipped her steps moving towards them, I turned around. My hands clenched into a fist as she jumped on a guy, who caught her with ease.
"Long day?" He asked. She nodded mumbling something. I was shaking in anger and was millisecond away from breaking his arms and choking him to death.
"Mr. Crawford? W-what are you doing here?" The guy asked but I was busy glaring at his hands around my girl. My girl? Oh boy! I am screwed.
"Why? Am I not allowed here, Mr. Walter." I asked pocketing my fisted hands, trying to calm myself. "No..No s-sir I didn't mean-" He started before the girl broke in. "Mr. Crawford?" She thought aloud again before her eyes went wide. "You didn't mean Nolan Crawford, do you? Is he Nolan Crawford?" She asked hesitantly.
"In the flesh" I smirked pointing myself. Her expression was priceless, I couldn't help myself but laugh loudly with tears streaming down my eyes.
She scowled with a pout. "It's not funny." I laughed even more. "No, it's not, it's fucking hilarious." I double up with a laugh. Her lips twitched up from the side of her lips but she covered it with a scowl.
"Umm.." Noah nudged her. "You know him, Bree?" He asks confused.
She glared at me before nodding. "I'm hungry we need to go now. Right now." She starts dragging both of them. "Why leaving so early shortcake? The fun has just started." I tried to make her stay." she shook her head seems a little...scared? From me? I don't want her to be scared of me.
"I'm not short." She shouted before scurrying away. I laughed loudly. Definitely not sacred. Shocked? yes....Scared? hell no
I turn to my side to see Bryan was looking at her red head friend with an unreadable expression on his face. I nudged Bryan which broke him out of his reverie.
**Bryan's P.O.V**
After getting the call from Caleb about the club girl being here I dragged Nolan to the mall. I can feel the love already!!
She was the first girl to reject him and Nolan couldn't handle it. He was going on and on about the girl throughout the night when I called him last night.I know he won't show but he is attracted to her. I mean she was gorgeous and from the things, he said about her I can she is different from other just like my.... anyways, she is the only girl that challenged him and did not give in to his charms.
We reached the store to which Caleb called us and saw Meghan and her arguing. Well more like Meghan getting insulted by her sarcasm.
She is so funny...Is she my long lost sister or something? I wasn't able to control my laughter.
"Oh, here you are, Jesus, five minutes.... I leave you alone for minutes and you get missing. You have any idea how long I and Noah have been looking for you?" I heard a very familiar voice say. A voice I only hear in my dreams.
The club girl skipped her steps moving towards them, and jumped on a guy, who caught her with ease laughing, I saw Nolan clenching his fist and glaring at the boy. I smirked. He got it bad.
"Mr. Crawford? W-what are you doing here?" Noah, a guy from Nolan's office asked. He puts the girl down and moves aside.
There I saw her. After 6 years. 6 fucking years! I tuned out of the background and my eyes were focused on the girl in front of me. Same beautiful blue eyes, gorgeous red hairs, staring at Nolan wide eyed and opened mouth. She was still fucking gorgeous as I saw her for the first time. Her eyes turned towards me and became wider if it was even possible, many emotion passed her eyes. She stared at me without blinking as I did the same.
I felt someone nudge my side, I glared at the person, this seems to break her out of her reverie and she let her friend drag her away.
I watched as the club girl dragged her away.
Her. My rose.
