Chapter Five

Scarlett's POV

I woke up with a warm body next to me and an arm around my waist. I could feel their arm against my bare stomach. Sitting up quickly I felt nauseous and my head was spinning but the feeling quickly supsided and I looked down at my body thankful I was still clothes. The person's arm was now resting in my lap. I followed the arm to see a sleeping Cayden. I'll admit, Cayden was very attractive and he looked so peaceful sleeping. His dirty blonde hair was sticking up in every direction and he had slight stubble on his face. He had no shirt on showing all the hard work he's done over the years of playing football.
"Cayden, wake up!" I said loudly shaking him. He woke up and looked at me confused before smiling.
"Morning beautiful," he said. His steel grey eyes bore deep into my hazel ones.
"Cayden, we didn't uh-" I started to say but he cut me off.
"No my dear we did not make sweet love but boy I wish we had." He winked at me. "But you did lead me to your bedroom with love-filled kisses quite like this one." And before I knew it Cayden's hand was behind my head connecting our lips together. I didn't pull away like I thought I would. I actually found myself threading my fingers into his hair and pressing for more. His lips tasted sweet and I couldn't help but want more. When his lips started to trail down to my neck I knew I needed to stop.
"Cayden," I said pushing his shoulders slightly. He came up looking confused I whispered. "Cayden, I can't." He looked confused and disappointed.
"I thought this was what you wanted Scarlett!" he said. I bit my lip and shook my head. He sighed
"It's not that I don't, it's just you know I don't do this whole," I gestured to him. "Guy, relationship thing." He sighed again.
"I'm sorry," he said pulling me into a hug. I leaned into him sighing.
"I'm sorry for teasing you." I said back making him chuckle a deep laughed.

"Well I guess I'll see you on Monday then?" Cayden said.
"Yeah, see you on Monday." I gave him a quick peck on the cheek and smiled. His cheeks tinged pink and a smile threatened to spread across his face.
"Bye Scarlett." He said waving. I gave him a small wave and shut the door. Before I walked to the living room there was a knock on the door. I groaned walked back to the door opening it to find a scowling Kingston.
"Hey," I said leaning against the door frame.
"Aren't you going to ask me to come in?" he asked. I raised my eyebrows before stepping aside letting him in. He looked around quickly before plopping down into a chair. I walked to the couch confused and sat down indian style.
"So is there a purpose for this suprise visit." I asked curiously. He smirked.
"Just came by to see what's new. I haven't talked to you in forever."
"I wonder why," I muttered half hoping he heard me.
He cleared his throat nervously sitting forward resting his arms on his knees. "So I uh, I saw Cayden leaving on my way in." I rolled my eyes at him.
"Jealous?" I said challenging him.
"Of course not. Why would I be jealous?" he replied.
I clenched my jaw slightly. "I don't know." I looked away from his gorgeous eyes. An awkward feeling filled the room. Finally I spoke again. "Why would you care if Cayden stayed here last night anyways?"
"I don't he said flatly.
""They why do you ask?" I asked suddenly angry. "Why don't you go hang out with your girlfriend or something? You're wasting you time sitting here."
"I broke up with her." he said with hardly any sadness in his voice. I felt my mouth open and close not knowing what to say. "She was cheating on me anyways." He shrugged like it was no problem.
"Wow," I said suprised. I can't believe anyone would even cheat on Kingston, I mean look at him, he's gorgeous! We just sat there in another awkward silence. My phone rang loudly in the quiet room and I reached into my pocket retrieving it quickly. Willow the screen read. I declined the call rolling my eyes.
"Scarlett, I just want to tell you I'm sorry . I've been a real douche of a friend these last two months."
"Kingston, I don't even know if we were really even friends to begin with. We know nothing about each other and we've never really talked." I said. He suddenly looked sad.
"Can we try? I want to be friends," he said almost despereatly. I looked into his eyes only finding sincerity.
"Fine, we can try. But you realize that's all we can be is friends, right?"
"Yes, yes I understand completely." he said happily. I smiled slightly. I didn't say anything for a few moments.
"Well, I've got some calculus homework to finish so you should probably get going." He nodded standing up and I walked him to the door.
"See you tomorrow then...friend." He said smiling before he walked back to his house. I sighed and walked to my bedroom plopping down on my bed. What have I gotten myself into?

"Hello beautiful," Cayden said sitting next to me in our first hour chemistry class. I looked up smiling at him still half asleep. Today he was were a light blue shirt that hugged him nicely in all the right place along with a leather jacket and and jeans that hung on his hips perfectly. Cayden was one of those guys that I would try to be with if I dated. He was totally sexy, and very charming.
"Hey Cayden," I said yawning. He grabbed my face forcing me to look at his face. I took this time looking over his gorgeous apperance. His dirty blonde hair was messy like it usually his grey eyes were stormy and a smirk spread on his lips when my eyes reached them. Cayden leaned forward and our lips almost met when our chemisty teacher Mr. Valer walked into the room and cleared his throat.
Mr. Penninger," he said loudly making the whole class silent. "I'm sure I and the rest of the class would like if you kept your PDA with Ms. Stroud in the hallway." My face grew hot and red quickly as I heard my class mates snicker around me.
"Yes Mr. Valer, as you please." He sat back in his chair and put his hand far up on my thigh. I tensed and looked at him but he stared ahead like he wasn't even touching me. Mr. Valer started his lecture and I zoned out. BUZZ! BUZZ! The vibrate on my phone jerked me awake and I looked down seeing a new message from Kingston.

hi friend :) I smirked slightly at his text before texting a quick hi back to him. In seconds he texted back. How's chemistry?

peachy. how's calculus?

loads of fun. numbers, yay .

I giggled and typed back LOL before putting my phone in my pocket before Mr. Valer caught me. I zoned out again but the bell sprung me from my thoughts.

"And remember seniors, Monday is the beginning of Spirit Week," Mr. Valer shouted. I almost gaspe and slapped a hand to my forehead making Cayden give me a funny look.
"Ohmigod! I forgot all about homecoming!" I shouted getting more funny looks. Cayden lauged at me and I slapped his arm playfully. "Shut up!" I laughed.
"So Scarlett," Cayden said and I looked up at him. "Do you have a date to homecoming. I shook my head laughing slightly. He didn't say anything after that but a smirk was visable on his face. I gave him and odd look before just forgetting about it.

KINGSTON'S POV

"Hey Kingston," Jewel Sanders said sitting on my desk and crossing her long tan legs. Jewel was absouletly beautiful. Her long, wavy blonde hair fell down her back and you always head to try to read her stormy grey eyes.
"Hello love," I said making her blush. I put my arm around her waist pulling her onto my lap. She squealed leaning into me.
"Got a date to homecoming yet?" She asked smiling.
"Actually, I was going to ask someone today but I didn't think she would say yes."
"You should ask her!" She replied.
"Okay, Jewel would you want to be my date to homecoming?"
"Yes, I'd love to be!" she said smiling widely. Then she kissed my cheek lightly making me smile at her before grabbing her chin and giving her a light passionate kiss on the lips. With Jewel I felt more of a pull then I did with Willow. So if Scarlett and I could only be friends, then Jewel would be the perfect way to get over her.
