So we are progressing nicely with this storyline. Hooray! There isn't much to say except I love reviews.
Also if you haven't already, you should look into my new series entitled 'Fruit Flies'. It's basically pure fluff so if that's your thing, you should go there.
Enjoy 3
"Your phone Miss Beckett." Mr. Kurtz begrudgingly turned over her cell phone once Friday afternoon came and she appeared in his office while a few of her friends waited outside. Kate took the phone smugly and offered a cheeky smile to her vice principal before pocketing her phone and turning to leave.
"Thanks Mr. Kurtz." The moment she was out the door, she had to hide a snicker.
"Oh that was terrible." She over-dramatized. "Having to live without my phone for a whole week?" Her entire group of friends – consisting of three girls and two guys – burst into mocking laughter at the man on the other side of the glass doors. "Honestly, you'd think Kurtz would find better ways of punishing me."
"Why'd he take it in the first place?" Madison Queller, her closest-thing-to-a best friend rolled her eyes.
"Who…" The group looked in the direction of Kate's gaze as her voice trailed off "knows…"
The bell rang indicating the end of the school day and, as if in slow motion, the students began to clutter the hallways. The echoing sounds of bustling could be heard but the only thing Kate was focused on was the god who had suddenly appeared at the other end of the hallway. Dressed in a blue and white varsity jacket and a pair of very tight-fitting pants, the man strutted down the hallway, his blond hair literally blowing the imaginary breeze. Behind him was a posse of three other jocks similarly dressed but not nearly as unbelievably gorgeous and if you were really quite, you could hear that sappy romance music you always hear in the movies. As he walked passed the group, his eye caught Kate's and he winked on of those captivating blue eyes at her, causing a blush to rise to her face. The instant he had turned the corner and the world resumed its normal pace, Kate sighed dreamily and bit her lip.
"Now that is a man." A chorus of 'hey's rang out from the males in the group but none of the other ladies bothered to disagree. They were pretty much in the same position as her – swooning over this guy that no one had ever seen before.
"Oh yeah." Madison's breathy moan brought Kate out of her trance and both girls face each other simultaneously.
"Dibs!"
Kyra was barely awake, both hands supporting her head as her eyelids dropped over her biology textbook in the dim lighting of the library. She had stopped reading the page about twenty minutes ago but she couldn't bring herself to move let alone close her book. Mid-terms were going to be the death of her.
"A flower for the pretty lady?" Her eyes shot open at the familiar, sweet sound of her friend and she was suddenly faced with a single yellow dandelion flower. Blinking at the sudden change in scenery, she furrowed her brows in amused confusion before taking the flower in her hands, her fingers lightly brushing his.
"Rick," She couldn't hide the surprised joy at seeing him come to great her at such a late hour "what a… beautiful gift." She scrunched her nose at the weed but smiled nonetheless. "What's the occasion?"
Rick reached over her to pull her textbook closed as he took the seat next to her, pulling it between her knees. "I just wanted to thank my best friend for putting up with me through all of this craziness with Alison." She tried to stay focused on his gaze instead of rolling her eyes at the mention of the mystery girl. "She's just some girl from a party." The ocean waves that were often referred to as his eyes became softer and kinder and she instantly melted. "You have always been there for me, no matter what." He reached his hand up to cup her jaw and she suddenly wasn't feeling so tired. The warmth radiating from his hand seemed to stimulate her senses and lull her into alertness. She was suddenly very much aware of everything. Like how the entire library was silent except for the sound of shuffling paper coming from one of the corner cubicles; and how the room was so dim that the shadows cast over Rick's face were almost mysteriously sexy; and how she hadn't exhaled since he had placed his hand on her face. "Thank you." She heard him whisper as he leaned in to her face. She felt her heart quicken until she realized that he was tilting her face away.
He was going to kiss her cheek.
Acting on nothing but impulse, she twisted her face out of his hands and turned back towards his lips which met in a short, stiff kiss. She rolled her body back just far enough after their little peck, stunned that she had just done that. More than anything, she was stunned at the electricity that flowed through her after such a short meeting. She kept her eyes on his, hoping to read what he was feeling. At first she saw nothing but shock and confusion but it slowly grew into something very similar to lust but just a bit deeper. There was affection in there but desire was the emotion that took over as he kept his hand on her jaw and they met half way. Their parted mouths fit perfectly together in a sweet caress of passion. Titling her head for a better angle, she moaned lightly into his mouth and began tugging at his bottom lip with each stroke of her own. She vaguely felt his hand snake to the back of her head and pull her closer so she was pulled closer against him, her mouth looming over his. She was two seconds away from pulling herself into his lap when she heard someone clear their throat and they slowly – regretfully – parted, her mouth relaxing open at the lingering sensations against her lips. When she finally dared open her eyes, she saw Rick blinking and swallowing, trying to regain his self control and the thought made her smile.
"Wow." She raised her eyebrows, not able to find any other words.
"Yeah." He still hadn't looked at her but she wasn't worried. Until he finally met her eyes an she saw what was there.
Passion, affection, adoration… love? What ever it was, it was so intense that she felt her heart hit the roof of her mouth. Feeling the need to speak, she exhaled a shaky breath and her entire upper body collapsed into itself.
"I… don't think I'll be studying anymore tonight." Their eyes were still locked as his mouth twisted into a smirk and he laughed more to himself than anything.
"Probably not." She bit her lip to hide the infectious grin that was plastered on her face.
