Hey guys. The response for the last chapter was amazing! A special thanks to Aj who has given me great reviews, I appreciate your encouragement and feedback. Thank you all again! x
Karma's POV
Amy's eyes never left the ground. I could tell she was torn, but I had no doubts about her attraction to me. I know she wants to be with me, but she's a good person, and because she is, I also know she's not going to just drop everything that her and Alex have. We had been standing in silence for what seemed to be an eternity. I decide to break it.
"Amy," she looks up at me with lost eyes, "I know this really isn't easy for you, you don't have to do anything until you're ready. I'll be here for you either way, no matter what you decide." I meant every word I said, at least I think I did. I mean, did I really want to be there for her if she chooses Alex? No, actually, I can't stand her. She's what's keeping Amy from being with me, but then again this is kinda my fault.
My thoughts are interrupted when I hear Amy's soft, quiet voice. "Karma, I want you." My heart flutters and melts when those words leave her perfect lips. "But," Ah, shit. "I can't drop what I have with Alex just because you've just now decided you want to be with me. I'm sorry." I nod slowly. I refuse to let Amy go this easily, I've fucked up enough already by waiting this long to say something, and I will not allow Alex to just take her from me.
"I completely understand where you're coming from, but I'm not giving up on you, Amy." I move closer to her, "I've been confused the last month about how I feel about you, but right now, it's all clear, and I know you feel the same way about me."
Amy's POV
She moves closer to me, I can almost taste her lips as she continues talking, "I'm going to fight for this." And with that, her lips meet mine. I can feel the love in her kiss, her movements are slow, and steady. Her mouth keeps mine warm, and they move together leisurely. I can feel myself getting lost in her taste, so I break away. Her eyes are still closed when I open mine. Her facial expression reveals that she's still in a daze, and if I had anymore doubts about how Karma feels about me, they melted away when I saw that look on her face. Her eyes slowly open and meet mine.
"It's late," she says, her sweet breath hitting my lips. "I guess I should go." I want to protest, I want to tell her to stay with me for the night, it's what my heart wants, but my head stops it. I wouldn't be able to look at Alex if I spent the night with Karma. I feel Karma gently back away from me, and I already miss her warmth and her scent. I stand frozen as I watch her make her way to my bedroom door, and my gaze meets the ground, again. My eyes shoot back at Karma when I hear her call my name, she's almost out the door, "I'm sorry, but I love you," and she walks out.
I still don't know what to make of all this. I told Karma that I can't leave Alex, expecting Karma to run out of my room with tears in her eyes, but she instead, says she's not giving up. She's complicating things more for me, but she's right, I do feel the same for her. I thought those feelings were gone, but all it took was a kiss for me to realize that I was lying to myself this whole time. I love Karma.
I let out a strong, heavy sigh, and turn out all the lights in my room before crashing into my bed. I don't even bother to get comfortable, the drowsiness takes over and I induce into a deep sleep.
I wake up the next morning, and my head automatically replays the events that happened last night. I can remember everything so clearly; Karma's words, the taste of her mouth, her facial expressions. I hope it wasn't all a dream again.
Karma's POV
I had my parents take me to school. After last night, I couldn't bear the sight of Amy with her on the bus.
"Alright, thanks mom." I gather my things, and shut the car door behind me.
I half cringe when I hear my mom call out, "Be sure to channel all of your positive energy!" I speed walk away from the car and towards Shane.
"Hey lovely lady." He takes a good look at me, "Whoa, you look sizzling. Who are you trying to impress?" He nudges me.
I laugh lightly at his compliment, "Thanks." I'm actually surprised that he thinks I look sizzling, considering I got a good 2 hours of sleep last night. I did try to up my appearance today, I figured it would boost my chances at winning Amy, and if Shane noticed, I know for sure Amy would too. Speaking of Amy, I scan across the front of the school for her. "Where's Amy?" Shane would know.
"She's with Alex," I mentally gag, "I last saw them in the courtyard." And with that, I speedwalk to the courtyard, and away from Shane. I look down at my watch as I walk. There's 10 minutes till the first bell, which gives me plenty of time to get to the courtyard and stop any Alex-Amy canoodling.
Amy's POV
Alex had her face buried in her book, and I watched the people passing by. I don't know what I was waiting for, I should've already told her what happened between me and Karma. I turn to her, she hasn't moved a muscle since we sat down. "Hey," she looks up at me, her focused glare doesn't budge, "I need to tell you something." She closes her book.
"What is it?" She doesn't sound worried.
"K-" I was beginning to tell her what happened last night when I'm interrupted by Karma, herself.
"Hi guys," she says. She sounds cheery, Alex and I turn our eyes away from each other and towards Karma. She has a blouse on that fit her upper body perfectly, it made my heart race, and a skirt that accommodates her beautiful legs and curves, she looked really, very good. I let my eyes trace her exposed skin before settling on the bold grin across her face.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" She points to the space next to me, and before we answer she's seated. "So, what are you guys up to?" The smile doesn't leave her face, and I don't know what she's up to, but she's up to something.
I shake my head. "Nothing, we're just sitting here." I feel Alex's hand move over mine. I look to my hand, and then to her; she's staring right at me.
"Yeah, we're just sitting here," her grip tightens slightly.
Karma's POV
She's doing it. She's purposely putting her hand on Amy's to get a reaction out of me, and it's working. It's not irritation I feel, it's jealousy. That's my hand to hold. I just want to rip her hand from Amy's, and replace it with mine. I nod at her instead, she doesn't break her gaze from Amy's face, but Amy turns away from her, and looks at me. Her eyes look super green, and I can see them jumping from my face, and to my blouse, and then my legs. I wish I could hear the thoughts running through her head, and hopefully she's thinking what I think she is. My little trick must have worked.
The first bell rings, and I can see her quickly shake off the thoughts. Alex stands up, "I'll see you later." She bends back down and gives Amy a slow, really wet kiss, and I almost throw up. She turns back to me, and flashes a cheeky smile, which makes me want to break her face with a tree branch. Amy sits there, slightly embarrassed, her face is turning into a soft pink. "Bye Karma," she turns around and begins to walk away.
I quickly stand up and walk behind her, I turn around and see Amy still sitting on the ground looking very, very confused, but I'm not confused, I know what I need to do. "Wait up!" Alex turns back, and stops when she sees me coming towards her. I catch up to her, and she looks even more confused than Amy. "So, I'm guessing Amy told you what happened last night, and that's why you're acting really territorial, right?" Except, I knew Amy hadn't told her, well, I had a good feeling that she hadn't, but I figured I'd subtly let her know what happened, making it seem like I didn't know Amy hadn't told her, that way, if she tells Amy that she knows what happened between us, Amy won't be mad at me, because hey, I didn't know she hadn't told her, and it was all an honest mistake on my part. Genius, Karma.
Alex shakes her head with confusion, "I don't know what you're talking about." Yes, I knew it.
She stops walking, and I stop with her. "What happened last night?" Her voice is practically cracking.
I continue to play it off as if I thought she knew. I look down at the ground and fiddle with my fingers, "Oh, I, I thought you knew." She shakes her head again, and I keep going, "It was nothing really, I just let her know how I felt about her, and we kissed a few times." I turn back to her, and she's looking away, with tears threatening to fall. I know I should feel bad, but I don't. If getting to Amy means causing a few tears, then oh well. As much as I wanted her to cry, I figured I should tell her everything. "But don't worry!" Now, she's looking back at me, "Amy said she still wants to be with you." Saying it out loud, and hearing myself say it, hurt a lot more.
Alex sniffles, and wipes under her eyes. "Of course she does, we love each other." I try to withhold the itch of laughter tingling in my throat, but I fail, and release a light, small laugh. She gives me this look, I can't even describe. She cocks her head, and looks somewhat amused. "What's so funny?"
I shake my head, "Nothing, nothing."
"You don't believe me, right?" I shrug. "She told me she loved me, last Friday actually, while we were you know, having sex." She whispers that last part, and grins. I want to slap her, but I keep my hands to my sides. Vicious bitch. I should've made her cry when I had the chance.
"She might've had sex with you, but she loves me." Alex rolls her eyes. My resistance to slapping her is thinning. "She wants me, and I want her, and I'm going to get what I want, so enjoy your time with her while you have it." I give her the same stupid grin she gave me. I watch her face shift from pleasure to fury, and she storms back the other direction, where Amy is. Well, that was easy.
Amy's POV
I finally stand up, and put my backpack on. I feel somebody roughly tap my shoulder, so I turn around. It's Alex, and by the look in her eyes, she's not very happy. I frown, completely puzzled as to why she's upset. "What's wrong?"
She's chewing lightly on her bottom lip, with her arms crossed. "Do you want to be with Karma?" I'm taken back by the bluntness of her question, and where it was coming from.
"What're you ta-"
"Please don't play stupid," her face turns into exasperation. "Karma told me what happened, I know everything."
I let out a defeated sigh. I was planning on telling her myself, but it looks like Karma beat me to it. "Okay, yes, I want to be with Karma, but I-" Another interruption.
"Then I want you to leave me alone, go be with her, I want nothing to do with you." She walks away furiously, and I can see her pushing her tears away. I stand there, and feelings of guilt sting my sides. I stare at my feet, before looking to my left. Karma is still standing there, not too far away. Thanks a lot, Karma.
Karma's POV
It was all kind of hard to watch, mostly because I felt bad for Amy. I've officially fucked up her one source of happiness, and that did honestly, make me feel like shit. However, her old happiness will be replaced with a new one, aka, me. Amy begins to march towards me, quickly, and with almost a death glare.
She's near me, only a foot or two away. "What the fuck, Karma? You really couldn't wait, could you? I was going to tell her myself, but you went ahead and told her, and it blew up right in my face. I hope you're happy now." She walks away the second those last words escape her lips. Although she didn't shout at me, her words still sting, and I don't know what to feel. I'm not happy, but I'm not sad. I feel some anger, I told Amy I would fight for her, and it's not my fault her girlfriend couldn't handle some competition. I thought this would show Amy that I really do want to be with her, but it was no use if all it did was piss her off. Looks like my plan backfired.
The late bell rings, and I start to make my way to my class. The rest of the day drags out, and then it's over. I'm home, finally. I walk into an empty house, after everything that happened today, I completely forgot that my parents took a mini vacation to West Texas, and I don't know why, everything there is dead. I feel my phone vibrate, and it's Amy. I feel a shot of anxiety, and relief. I answer.
"Hello?"
"I'm coming over, we need to talk about what happened this morning," she says in a stale tone.
"Yeah, okay, just walk in and make your way into my room." She hangs up, she must still be upset.
Amy's POV
I opened the front door, and I really wasn't expecting it to be unlocked, but it was. I guess her parents were gone. I made my way into her bedroom, and she's sitting on the end of her bed.
"Hey," she says with a soft smile. As hard as it is, I ignore it. I can't give in and smile back, not after what she did. She pats her bed, motioning for me to sit, but I don't move.
"I'm not going to sit, I won't be here that long." I see her face fall, and I keep myself in tact, I can't cave in.
But she looks back up at me, agitated now. "Why are you here then?"
"Because Karma, what you did wasn't okay, and you need to really see that. It's not okay for you to go around fucking things up for your convenience," I respond back, and I can feel the frustration building up with every word I say.
"I was fighting for you, Amy!" Karma's already letting her emotions take a toll, her eyes are beginning to swell up with tears.
"You were fighting for yourself, Karma. You're a selfish person," I keep my tone calm, I couldn't bear the sight of her crying, but at the same time, I couldn't let her go around thinking she can do stuff like this. She needed to hear what I was saying.
Karma's POV
Her words cut like butcher knives, and I can already see myself crying until my ribs get tough. I don't even bother holding back the tears, I just let them fall. "Get out, then. If I'm so selfish, and I'm such a fucking awful person for ruining your relationship, then why don't you just get out, and leave me alone. Is that why you came? To make me feel bad about what I did?" She's walking towards me now, slowly, but I continue talking, "Like, you're such a fucking good pers-"
Amy's POV
The second she started crying was the second I completely threw away the idea of teaching her this stupid lesson. I don't care anymore, whatever I was going to say was only going to make her cry, it wasn't going to make her change. I also couldn't stand there and be the reason tears were staining her beautiful face. I crash my lips into hers, while they're still moving, while she's still forming the end of her sentence. She stops talking when she feels my mouth against hers, and begins to reciprocate the kiss. I grip both of my hands to either side of her face, and my kiss starts to turn heavy, I feel her hands grasp my waist. I slowly bring my body on top of hers and she lets her body fall into her bed. I move my hands from her face to the sides of her body. The kiss isn't broken, and I'm perfectly hovered over her. I feel her warm, soft hands slide under my loose shirt. I frown at the touch, she doesn't keep her hands there long, but I feel my entire body turn hot. Her hands settle to my neck. I take one of hands, and move it under her blouse, she shivers at the touch, I pull back from the kiss.
Karma's POV
I almost whimper when I feel her lips break apart from mine, she's looking at me with loving eyes. She doesn't have to say she loves me, it's in her gaze, I can see it.
"This is what you wanted?" I feel her hand under my blouse, and I find it hard to even comprehend her question when her hand is resting under my chest.
I nod, "I want you. Always," I push my lips back to hers, and I kiss her, hungrily. I feel her mouth open slightly, and I glide my tongue against hers. I moan into her mouth, and that ignites another flame. She kisses back, taking my bottom lip in between her mouth, I feel the desperate urge to moan again. I've never felt so turned on, I've never felt so much pleasure, and our clothes weren't even off yet.
I'm very sorry to cut it off here! ;p
