Ariel's POV
Principal Edwards wanted to give all of us detention. He suggested that I have one week while Adam and Landon have three weeks. Landon then quickly assured him that I had nothing to do with the fight. Adam being the dickhead that he was just sat there with a blank expression on his face.
When the principal dismissed us, Adam quickly got up, grabbed his bag and exited the room without a word. I gave Landon a tight smile before hurriedly running after Adam.
"Adam!" I shouted at his very very muscular back.
He paused before turning around and looking at me.
"What the hell was that about?"
"What?" He asked innocently.
"Why'd you have to fight Landon?" I asked placing my hand on my hip.
His eyes scanned my body and then quickly found my eyes again.
"'Why do you care?' You know, I gotta go." He said turning back around to walk away also mimicking my words this morning using air quotes.
I quickly grabbed his arm to stop him and stood in front of him.
"What is even your problem with me?" I asked getting fed up with his attitude.
"Everything, Ariel. Nothing." He replied with an expression on his face I couldn't read.
Like me, he looked confused at what he said himself because he looked around him slightly shaking his head looking at nothing in particular.
Without saying another word, he pulled my arm. I let out a squeal surprised at the action but tried my best to keep up.
When the pulling stopped, we ended up by his car. He gently pushed me against the car with his hand on my hips, looking deep into my eyes with a emotionless face. His face only a few inches away from mine, his hand still on my hip.
My breathing was heavy and my knees were beginning to become weak. Before anything could happen, he looked down, sighed and turned away running his hand through his hair.
"We should, we should probably go." He said when his gaze finally went back to me.
I was pissed. Beyond pissed. He thought I was some sort of game to him. One of his Barbie dolls that he could play with and put back in the toy basket until he was ready again.
Without another word, I stomped to the backseat and folded my arms.
Adam got in the driver's seat a few seconds later, rubbing his hands over his face and sighing.
"You know you could come into the passenger's seat." He said with a little sincerity in his voice.
"No thanks." I vaguely replied.
He sighed loudly and then decided to start the engine. After about 5 minutes into the ride, I finally decided to speak. "I'm going at your house to check on Libby."
He quickly looked at me but my eyes were still on the road. He then slightly nodded.
---------------
A few minutes, we arrived at the mansion. Without waiting for a second I got out.
"Look, Ariel-" He started.
"No, it's okay, I understand. Makeup and putting on a few new clothes weren't going to change anything." I said a tear escaping my eye.
I don't know why I always cry over the pettiest things like my crush not liking me back. It was then that I just realised that I kinda sorta just admitted to Adam that I like him.
Not directly but, it was the closest I ever would admit it I guess. I quickly wiped the tear away for my eye that fell and made my way up the pathway leaving Adam there in his spot.
I took out my key and made my way straight to Libby's room. Her parents were still at work and wouldn't be home until later. I gently knocked on the door and went in after she answered.
"Ariel!" She squealed with her voice sounding a little hoarse. "You're hear earlier than I expected."
"Yeah well, I was off the rest of the day, so why stick around school." I replied with the I-just-cried-voice."
Libby, being the caring person that she is, picked up on something. I obviously didn't want to bombard her with my problems so I would just deny it. Especially when she was sick and I knew she would end up shouting at Adam, making her voice worse than it already was.
"Ariel, what's wrong?" She asked, concern laced all over her voice.
"Like what? I'm fine." I said forcing a smile.
"I know you're not but we're talk about this later." She said pointing an accusatory finger at me.
I slightly nodded my head. Libby and I decided to pop some popcorn and eat it while watching television. After what happened at school today, I decided not to ask Landon to come to my place but I did tell my parents I was staying at Libby's.
Libby fell to sleep within an hour of the movie. After realizing that my bowl of popcorn was empty, I decided to change out of my school clothes and into my dad's big white T-SHIRT and underwear and go downstairs to pop some more. As I was exiting Libby's room, I came face to face with a messy looking Elle.
Elle was the captain of the cheerleader team, cliché right? She looked like she just woke up from a week of lying down in bed by the way her hair looked and her clothes were falling off her body like if she just threw them on.
"Oh, uh, hey." I said awkardly.
"Whatever." She said with her heels in her hand as she made her way downstairs.
"Okay then." I muttered to myself.
Just as I was about to make my way to the kitchen, Adam came out his room with messy hair, a black jogger hanging dangerously low on his hips showing his V-line. Also, he was shirtless.
When he saw me, his eyes grew wide and he place his hands in his pockets, his eyes taking in all of my body with the shirt hanging just below my ass.
"Ariel. You're still here." He asked although it sounded more like a statement.
"Yeah." I said ignoring him and making my way downstairs.
"Wait. Can we talk?" He asked slowly.
"There's nothing to talk about. Plus, I think that you're probably tired from... you know." I said still walking making my way to the kitchen, Adam following.
"I took it you saw Elle." He said looking down a his feet once we reached the kitchen.
"Yeah but no big deal. It's not like you need to justify your actions to me. It's not like were dating or anything." I nervously chuckled. "Well, goodnight."
I grabbed the bowl of popcorn and started to make my way back up stairs.
Suddenly, I felt a pair of hands on my wrist and before I knew it, my lips were on Adam's. The bowl of popcorn quickly dropped. In a matter of seconds, he had me pushed against the counter, his hands tightly on my hips. I couldn't think straight. All I could think about was that this was what I always wanted, right?
He continued kissing me as his tongue forced itself into my mouth. My hands made their way into his hair as I gently tugged at it, a groan escaped his lips. That was probably the sexiest noise I've ever heard.
Adam slowly lowered his hands to my ass, firmly squeezing it and lowering his touch to my thighs as he swiftly lifted me up without breaking the kiss. His hands caressed my inner thigh while his lips moved from my lips to my jaw line and then to my neck.
Fuck.
If I was being perfectly honest, Landon had nothing on Adam. As Adam slowly sucked on my neck, I could feel the excitement in his pants. This only made the puddle in my underwear worse.
I bit my lip trying to control the moan that was fighting to leave my lips but obviously the moan couldn't be stopped. This only made Adam kiss my neck harder. His lips found their way back to the mine, his hand now wandering up the shirt I was wearing, making his way up to my breast.
Just then, I heard a car which I knew was his parents' car pull up outside
"Adam." I moaned into the kiss.
"Hmm?" He hummed making his way to my neck.
"Your parents." I said while tilting my neck, tangling my hands in his hair.
Knowing that his parents were about to come in soon, I pushed him slightly causing him to groan in fustration. He sighed and dropped his head to the floor with his hands still on both sides of me.
He then stepped back and I jumped to the floor just in time for Mrs. and Mr. Haynes to come in.
"Oh. Ariel, you're here." Lily, Adam's mom said, sending me a wide grin.
"Yes, I came to check on Libby and then decided to stay." I said smiling at her.
"Nice to see you again, Ariel." David stated while taking off his tie.
I just nodded at him before looking at Adam who was leaning against the counter with folded arms.
"Well, I'm rather tired so I'll just head to bed." Lily stated while yawning.
"Okay. Goodnight." I said slightly waving.
I quickly followed her upstairs after I was sure that David was just about to announce that he was heading in also. I didn't wanted to be left alone with Adam after that just happened.
Omg what just happened.
