CHILTON PREPARATORY.
Guys and girls begin filing out of the room and I watch them until " Mary " Gilmore steps out. I´ve been waiting for her to come out from Biology class for over 10 minutes leaning against the wall beside the door. I follow her from behind, quietly. She´s reading a book, that´s no big news for me. She´s unaware of my presence chasing her…
Rory: " Go away, Tristan ". Apparently not. She scared me a little.
Tristan: " How did you know it was me? ". I now stepped further in view and commenced walking beside her, staring at her incredulously.
Rory: " I can smell the flames ". I chuckled. There was no sarcasm in her crude remark, but still, I found it funny.
Tristan: " And here I thought my Mary loved me! ". I teased with a grin.
Rory: " I´m not your Mary, Tristan ". She retorted back, looking a little annoyed.
* God, she´s hot when she´s mad and even when she´s not *. I thought.
Tristan: " That´s what you think ".
Rory: " And I don´t love you either ".
Tristan: " Not now ".
Rory: " Nor ever ".
Tristan: " Oh, yes you will ".
Rory: " Oh, no I won´t ".
Tristan: " Yes, you will ".
Rory: " No, I won´t! ".
Tristan: " Denial can be so unwholesome for your health, Mary ". I joked, not being able to keep the smirk off my lips. I could tell it was infuriating her even more, she was fuming without control.
* God, I want to kiss you so badly! *…
Rory: " I´m not in denial! ".
Tristan: " And yet, she doesn´t seem to recognize the passion I feel towards her in my eyes! ". I was being beyond dramatic, exclaiming in fake exasperation while gesturing my statement with my hands, putting more emphasis in my words and looking ahead as if speaking to an audience before me.
Rory: " Ughhh, shut up! ". She quickened her pace. I stubbornly continued haunting her, wearing my self-satisfied smirk.
Tristan: " Oh, come on, Mary, where are you going? ". I called after her, she kept trying to get away, but I wasn´t going to make it that easy on her.
Rory: " To a far, far, unreachable planet where you don´t exist! ".
Tristan: " You mean no where then ". She turns around all of sudden to face me, I almost bumped into her, her movement was unexpected.
Rory: " What is it with the annoying habit you have of bugging me each and every day without purpose!? ".
Tristan: " Rory, Rory, Rory… ". I shook my head with my eyes closed, showing false tiredness and placed a hand on my heart. My eyes opening and setting on hers. " …you pain me, girl, can´t you see I´m in love with you? ".
Rory: " AGHHHHH! ". She screamed and left me standing there. I chuckled once again.
* God, I love this girl! *.
Tristan: " Rory, wait! ".
Rory: " I have a study date, Tristan, leave me alone! ". I catched up with her thanks to a rapid jog a set forth. My hand reached out and grasped her arm, turning her around to look at me. Her previous statement caught me off guard, took me by surprise, I was taken aback. She´s kidding, right?.
Tristan: " Did you just say what I thought you said? ".
Rory: " Yes ". She took her arm away forcefully and continued strolling away. I gripped on her hand now and pulled her back at me, making her bump into my body. I held her steady with an arm around her tiny waist, trapping her against me and the lockers. She sighed wearily. " Let me go ". Her eyelids dropping a little, she looked feeble, although, in my eyes, irresistible.
Tristan: " Who is this guy? ". The insecure tone in my voice sounded too serious for my liking, I was inching closer to her mouth, the tips of my fingers grazed her cheek and lips, lightly caressing them.
This was truly affecting me profoundly. I was damm jealous. I wanted to know who this fucking bastard was and if there was anything to worry about. I wasn´t one to give up that easily, Hell no. I defend what I love, passionately without rest, I fight for what I care about, for what I want, for what I crave.
She held her breath for a second in anticipation. She probably thought I was going to kiss her, I wanted to, was going to, but first, I needed answers.
Rory: " Tristan Janlan DuGray, jealous at the mention of another guy, I never thought I´d see the day ". Mocking me in amusement. She made the attempt to free herself from my hold, but I was not obliging, I tightened my grasp on her.
Tristan: " You like this guy? ". I kept insisting in a husky breath, pressing myself on her, wishing her nearness, wishing her nigh to me, not denying what she recently stated. It was true though, I knew that, she knew that. Please tell me!.
Rory: " And possessive too ". She added with a playful grin, she was enjoying this way too much, seeing me suffer, going through anguish and all.
Tristan: " Ror, come on,… ". Running my gentle fingers through her silky brown hair, treating her with extreme indulgence and solicitude, making her blush immensely. She was nervous. " …please, tell me, ¿do you like this guy? ". I pursued more softly. I´m worried now and I don´t know why. Why the Hell am I worried?. Jesus Christ!. What the heck is wrong with me!?.
She swallowed something hard in her throat before answering me and fought to keep her composure intact. She refused to show me the powerful effect I had on her. She was too proud.
Rory: " That´s for me to know and for you to find out, Spawn of Satan ".
Tristan: " Mary… ".
Rory: " Goodbye DuGray ". This time, she successfully managed to separate her once very close petite body to my athletic one and went throughout the crowd surrounding us. I stared at her retreating form….
If only she could have seen the look of desire that flashed in her gaze when I gathered her in my embrace…
She wasn´t in denial after all…
Tristan: " I can see right through you… ".
