Drawn to You (Lover to Stepbrother)(18)
I’ve forgotten where I am, who is around, until I feel our bodies being shaken. We both stop, our breathing coming in fast, and I turn my head to see Karen looking at me like a stern mother.
It then clicks that I was making out in the middle of the lunch room.
There are guys cheering and whistling and a few have formed a circle, watching us like we are some TV show. I have never felt so embarrassed in my life.
“Oh, my God.” I sit up and notice that the table we were laying on is also occupied. “Sorry,” I tell the guys sitting at the table and from the look of them, they are freshman and their eyes are shapes of saucers.
“It’s okay,” one says, his voice husky.
“Oh, God,” I say again. Colin helps me stand and I place my head on his chest. “I want a hole to form and suck me in.”
“I think we took that a little far.” I feel his body vibrate so I know he is laughing. I look up to him and his eyes are playful.
“How can you be okay right now? We basically just gave the whole school a show.”
“I am a little embarrassed, but I definitely know that everyone knows we belong to each other.” I hit his arm and he pretends that I hurt him.
“Of course that’s all you care about.” I shake my head, looking around the room; people are still watching us.
He grabs my chin so I’m facing him again. “I’m not saying sorry because we want each other, that a little time apart makes us crazy. I like that you want me as much as I want you. These fuckers are just jealous that we have something so rare.” He’s right. Why should I be ashamed? I’m still embarrassed, but I’m not angry.
“You’re right.”
“I know I am.” We laugh. “Come on, let's go sit with your friends.” He starts to pull me towards my table but I don’t move. He looks to me confused.
“You want to sit at the nerd table?” I ask, surprised.
“I’m starting to hate you being called a nerd. I want your friends to like me, I know they mean a lot to you. I don’t care what people think of me. Come on.” He pulls me again and I start walking with him until we get to my table. He kisses my forehead and says he’s going to get us drinks. I watch him go.
“You both have it bad,” Karen says, taking a bite of her apple.
“Big time,” Phillip says. I notice his eyes go to Karen before he looks away.
“We like each other,” I say.
“I think it’s more than like. I saw the whole thing you know. You both acted like he just came back from the war and you haven’t seen him in years. You were in your very own bubble. If I hadn’t stopped it, I don’t even want to know what else would have happened. My eyes almost bug out as I think about that. What if she didn’t stop me? What if we started dry humping in front of everyone? I moan into my hands.
“It’s okay, Sash, I thought it was hot,” Leo says, laughing. I grab one of Phillips chips and throw it at him.
“Glad you thought so, pervert.”
He shrugs. “You shouldn’t do live shows if you didn’t want people to watch.” I stand and climb over the table, leaning forward to mess up his styled hair. “You are one mean girl.” He pouts, causing us all to laugh.
“What the fuck is that?” Karen’s eye goes straight to my chest and everyone looks to my hickey.
“It’s nothing.” I lift my tank a little, covering it.
“That’s not nothing. Colin Baxter marked you, on your chest. When did that happen?” She looks to my face. “Holy shit, you had him in your house. Did you sleep with him?” I glance around at my friends and they are looking at me with wide eyes.
“No, I didn’t sleep with him. What do you take me for?”
“A girl who just heavily made out in a high school cafeteria,” Phillip says and I glare at him. He quickly looks away.
“I’m not going to sleep with him until I know I’m ready. I’m still a virgin, remember?”
“You’re a virgin?” I turn to see Colin holding a tray of drinks and food. He sits next to me, his eyes never leaving mine.
“Yeah, is that a problem?” He looks around the table and back to me. I bite my lip. He uses his fingers to untug it.
“I have no problem. I like being with you. It’s not just sex. I had an inkling but wasn’t sure, but no I don’t mind that you’re a virgin. It makes you more special.” I close my eyes and then feel his lips softly press against mine, then his forehead is on mine. “I really like you, Sasha.”
“I like you, too,” I say quietly. He sits back and squeezes my hand.
“Well, I got coke, sprite, chips, mixed fruit. I didn’t know what you would like so got a little bit of everything.” I lean forward and kiss his cheek.
“Thank you.” He pecks my lips and we dig in to lunch.
Sasha
Colin waited for me after school, saying he had another practice and asked me to come, so Karen and I said we would watch. We take a seat on the bleachers and I cheer whenever his side makes a goal. Seeing him in action is amazing. Football I always found boring. Men running up and down the field over a ball is not interesting, but watching Colin do it sure is.
It’s hot.
“Now that you tamed Colin, do you think I have any chance getting with Aaron?.” I roll my eyes that she is still going on about him.
