Second Chapter - I know it's short - BUT they're getting longer.
Taylor's POV:
Oh my god why the hell am I such an idiot! I finished coloring the frilly flower on my notebook, Aiden pulled out the English book we had been assigned yesterday. I wanted to slam my head on the table. It was my third day, and I had nearly every class with him. I don't know what it is about him that is so attractive. He's massive – muscular wise of course. He had to be at least six foot six… Dark brown hair and blue eyes that would make any girl melt in the palm of his hands. Next class was study hall, he had it too. I seriously need to grow a pair. "Where's a good place to eat around here?" I asked turning to him. I could feel my face get fiery red hot. I willed myself to stay looking at him. He looked surprised that I spoke, it surprised me too.
"Well… It depends, are you a barbeque type of girl, or like a vegetarian?" Me? A vegetarian… I sadly love meat a little too much.
"Ha! Barbeque. I'm in the mood for about a half rack of ribs right now – " Maybe going with the salad eating direction would have been better… I sound like a goddamn pig.
"Oh really?" He had a grin on his face. It was almost as stunning as his eyes. Almost. "Well in that case, I'll be taking you out tonight to the finest barbeque place this town has." He turned to the piece of paper he had been scribbling on earlier and tore off a corner. He wrote his number down, I held out my palm. I realized I hadn't said anything in reply. He pressed the small piece of paper into my hand and they rested together for a beat longer than they could have. I blushed again, smiling as the bell rang for next period. I turned around to grab my backpack but it was already about four feet off the ground in Aiden's hands. He towered over me – not intimidatingly though. It was more of a protective stance. I took it from him, probably with a stupid look on my face, and we headed out of class towards the library. Is it bad that I wanted more from him? There was something about him that made him almost… Irresistible… It's only my third day and I've already fallen for a guy I barely know. This could end badly. I sat down at a back table in the library. Tall shelves surrounded me, making me feel enclosed in my own little world. What if Aiden tries to hurt me like he did… Even in my own thoughts I couldn't say his name. Thinking about it made me rub the back of my neck. I could still feel the small lump of a retreating scar.
Sorry about the random cliff hanger haha
