Chapter-4

Library and Love

D isclaimer- I do not own any of the things mentioned in the following story (except the plot). Otherwise I would have been having, you know, a life XD

POV- Len

"So, do you have a boyfriend?"

The words left my mouth before I could stop them.

I saw Miku's face go from pale and dumbfounded to tomato red and flustered right before my eyes.

What in the seven hells prompted me to ask this question? I mentally cringed. Real smooth Len. Real smooth.

"You know what? You don't need to answer that question. I will be going now." I tried to remedy the situation.

She gave me a slight nod.

I had already turned when I heard her.

"I don't."

I turned towards her. What? My confused head was unable to process this simple statement.

"What?" I voiced my confusion.

"I don't have a boyfriend."

I stared directly into her eyes, and she stared back. I couldn't help but notice how long her eyelashes were. They almost touched her cheeks, making her look doll like. A sudden desire to see her sprawled out on my bed overtook me. To feel her ivory skin against mine. Her eyes had a spark of innocence which drew me.

Bang.

It was almost as if someone had hit me. Suddenly, all I saw was Rin and her innocent eyes. The innocence she was about to lose.

"Goodbye, Miku" I had to get away. Away from this girl who was so much like Rin and yet so different.

~Later~

I was unable to do anything. Rin kept haunting me. I tried to distract myself by playing on my x-box. But it was useless. And while I knew the temporary fix, I didn't want to sleep with anyone. Every time I thought about it, Miku kept popping in my mind. I guess my mind was trying to achieve poetic justice. The innocence of Miku in exchange for the innocence of Rin. As if sleeping with Miku would change anything.

But this was weird. For the first time, I was obsessed about a girl other than Rin. And the fact that I barely knew her bothered me, which was unusual. Normally, I didn't care whether I knew the girl or not. A name was sufficient.

But this was bordering on fixating. And no girl other than Rin has ever stuck. If a girl rejected me, I went to another. I never really cared all that much.

But Miku was different than those girls. Why?

It took me a lot of time to realise what was different about her.

POV- Miku

Len went off, leaving me with mixed signals. His stare had been heated, but cold at the same time.

Why did I answer his question? He did give an out, and yet I went ahead and answered it anyway. What was I thinking?

By the end of the day, I was exhausted thinking about it.

I decided to go to my tried and tested method of distraction.

I stared into his hazel eyes. Then he leaned down and started kissing me, passionately.

I was prepared. But even then I let a moan escape as they touched mine. Using the opening, his tongue entered my mouth and started to explore every corner. Slowly, I relaxed. I returned his kisses, first gently. Soon they became passionate enough to rival his.

This is wrong.

I pushed him away. I knew this was not something that should be happening. I stared into his eyes, his icy blue eyes. I whispered his name, "Len"-

Len.

That word pulled me up short.

I hadn't even realised that somewhere along the line I had started to write about him. And about me.

I put the screen of my laptop down, got into my bed and tried my best to sleep. The last thing I remember thinking about was a certain blonde and then sleep's tendrils crept up on me.

POV- Len

~ Next Day~

I barely got any sleep, what with Rin haunting me. But I did not succumb to my usual methods of distraction. Because the only person revolving in my mind apart from Rin was Miku.

The entire school day was a blur and the only highlight was Rin. She had come directly to school, arm in arm with Kaito. And while the sight was definitely making me angry, Rin was looking absolutely radiant.

And it was this radiance which told me that the Rin I knew did not exist anymore. That her innocence was lost.

~Break~

I was sitting in the library as usual, when I noticed that someone was sitting at the next table. Someone with teal hair.

I could feel a grin spread across my face as I went over to her table. I came from behind and leaned towards her ear.

"Still studying?"

She jumped in her seat and then turned to face me. Her eyes zeroed down on my face and got wide. She parted her lips and started blushing a little.

The minx was tempting me without even knowing.

Suddenly her hand jerked and bang went her laptop screen down. That piqued my curiosity. What was she hiding?

"What were you doing?" I voiced my question.

"No-nothing…." She stammered.

It was funny to see that in just two days of knowing her, I had broken her cool demeanour. Now, all she did was fluster every time I talked to her. I wonder has she ever even kissed a guy.

Great, now all I could think about was how kissable her lips look and hatred for the imaginary guy who has kissed her. I want all that she has to offer.

What the hell. Why did that thought pop up in my head? And why do I feel possessive for Miku? I barely know her.

I shook my head to clear it of the images of skin to skin.

I sat down near her on the table and started to read a random book I had taken from the shelf in front of me. She slowly opened her laptop again and shifted it a little so that I was unable to see the screen. Slowly, she relaxed and started to type.

I lost interest in the book, it being something about heroes and romance. Those themes never interest me, they were to clichéd. Instead, I found that my eyes had lingered to the face sitting diagonal to me. Her hair was open for a change and was cascading down her back, reminding me of waterfalls. With her huge and vivid emerald eyes and her long and thick eyelashes, she reminded me of a doll every time. And her pink and pouty lips just enforced this idea in my head. I just wanted to lean over to her and kiss her like she had never been kissed before.

I tried to clear my head. She was making cracks in his self control, and it was not a feeling he was particularly happy with. If there was one thing he knew he had, it was an iron will. It was this self control which had kept him in check around his sister for the past one year. It couldn't fail with someone he just lusted over, not even loved.

And yet it was.

Suddenly the bell rang, signalling that the break was over. Miku shut her laptop, slid it in her bag and got up. Following her, I too got up. Her green eyes met mine. Once again I was startled by their innocence. Then, something inside me broke.

Before I knew it, I had backed her to the wall, with my hands on the either side of her head. I realised just how small she was when I was looking down her. There was at least a full inch between us.

"Do you even realise how much I want to kiss you right now?" I couldn't take it. She was staring at me with huge green eyes and red cheeks. My hand automatically brushed her cheek and my lips inched towards her.

In some unlit corner of my mind, I knew what I was doing was wrong. That I only lusted after her. And I was probably taking something she had never given to anyone. But even then, I closed to gap between our lips.

Her soft lips tasted sweet. Like strawberries and something else I couldn't pin down. I wondered whether this delicious taste was her or something she was wearing.

It was vanilla. And I had always had a thing for vanilla.

Slowly she started to kiss me back, but clumsily. That made me happy, for it meant she was inexperienced. He would take these sweet clumsy kisses over the expert tasteless ones any day. He wanted to take all she had to give. So he took it. He demanded entry to her mouth and she obliged. He was overcome by her sweet taste. He yearned for more; he wanted more of her sweet taste.

She broke apart from him, her eyes heavy-lidded and her breaths in short gasps. So, she had enjoyed it.

We looked at each other for a long time. The scene struck me as something familiar. But my mind was foggy with desire and I couldn't pin-point where I had done something like this before.

Suddenly, I remembered. I have never done this before.

Yaaaaaaaaaay!
