chapter 8

  Syl's POV

"Are you gonna forgive me Tina?I asked her.But she seemed to be in another world.She was looking into my eyes.And that's when she had realized I was watching her waiting for an answer .

Wait!Was she blushing?Fucking Tina Steve was blushing!Because of me ?Those cheeks were turning red.I donno whether she had realized I had seen her but immediately she looked aside pretending to welcome me into her house.

Sure her house looked cool.Smart too.Painted in pink and white.Well arranged and a flat screen on the cupboard.So sitting down,I found her already sitted looking at me.I did the same.I dont know whether she was feeling the same about

this magnetic pull but i knew watching at her ,I couldn't contain myself.Clearing my throut to talk,she cut me off.

"Umm....sorry..i zoned out.Can i get you something?maybe milk,juice or water?"

"No.am okay Tina.can i ask a favour from you?"I knew my voice had betrayed me because of how nervous i was.

She seemed to think.please don't say no.please.

"Sure."She said.

"Can i atleast hug you Tina?please?"i wanted to feel her warmth .I swear If she was going to say no i was going to cry.Looking at her emotions had gotten the better part of me.I wish she would understand.But how?how could she understand while myself I didn't get to inderstand myself.I couldn't control myself.I wanted to hug her tightly.Feel her chest on mine.Feel her breath near me.Have her hands wrapped around my body.Just her touch.But why her?Why was it that she was driving me this crazy?Even Irene didn't drive me this crazy.

"Syl,are you okay?I said Yes but you are just there."I realized she was already standing looking at me.

"Am sorry ,i thought you would reject my hug."I said standing up.

I hugged her tightly.like I would never see her or hug her again.Her heart was pounding against her chest.Was she afraid of me?Or Was it her first time to be hugged?But that couldn't be true.She has many friends.Boys.

"Are you okay ?because your heart is beating so fast?"I asked her.

"No am okay, only that this is new to me."She said withdrawing herself from me to sit down.

I wanted to hold her for sometime if not so forever,when she withdrew,i felt this coldness This feeling that I had found my soulmate.I had fallen in love with her.I was in love with this beautiful girl.This Dh captain.This cool girl.

I had to sit down.But looking at her i swear i wanted to kiss her.I knew no way I was going to pretend .But for me to control that I had to go.

    Tina's POV

I felt weak.On his chest.Those abs.Those muscles.Those hands around my waist.I swear I had never felt this way.Yes all my friends were boys but we only did side hugs.I had a weakness on my chest.But this,this that was happening between me and Syl was new.He had hugged me tight like I was his and like he would never let me go.

Dammit Tina.What are you thinking about?you being his?You need to contain yourself.Afterall you don't even know whether he feels the same way you feel for him?

I didn't realize i was in deep thoughts and still hugging him.As i wanted to withdraw my self,

"Are you okay?because your heart is pounding so fast?"Fuck i didn't even know that.

No way i would lie to him.

"No am okay, only that this is new to me."I admitted as I withdrew from him.

I sat down but he hesitated before sitting down .i was watching him.His back was facing me.What was he thinking about?Was he going to laugh at me for telling him the truth?He scrached the back of his neck and turned to sit down.Our eyes met and he had this emotion in his eyes but before i could read it he looked down.

"I have to go."he said.

"Oh."that's all I could say.But why so early?"

"Because i escaped out of school during lunch hour without anybody's permission .soo..yeah."

With that i remembered.How had he known where i live.

"Before you go ,can i ask you a question?And please be honest with me."

"Okay."

"How did you know where i live?"i asked him.This time i was keen to hear how he had known my place.

"Promise you wont get mad at me or anybody."He asked me scratching his nose.

"Swear it."

"Okay i swear now spill it."

"So during lunch hour,i couldn't find you and so I had to ask wherever you were and I was told that you had lied to the teacher that you were unwell.So the teacher allowed you to go home.Thats when I realized it was my fault and so i had to ask for your address and one of your friends told me.so yeah."

"Why were you looking for me mr?"

"To apologise.I knew it would be tough but I had to."

"And why did you slap me if i may ask?"

"Can we make that story for next time when we meet please?i dont have the correct words to fix the reason."He said to me.As if there would be next time.

"Okay."

"Before I leave,can we be friends?"He said streching his hand.Yes i wanted to be his friend.Maybe by that I would get to know whether he had something for me too.

"Yes friends."

"My pleasure miss Steve."

"My pleasure too mr...before i could finish,he pulled me to another tight hug.

What the fuck.

"See you soon Tina."

He said just before leaning on and placing a soft,lingering kiss on my forehead.I felt blood rushing into my cheeks and heating them up.

He looked into my eyes and his mouth formed a smirk.What!It was a cute smirk.I had never seen him smirk.And then he left.
