I looked up and found Ray looking at me. Smiling. A warm and breathtaking smile.
His touch makes me shiver. That’s different.
Then his gaze fell down on my lips. I had this sudden urge to press my lips against his. I saw his eyes darkened as his sight fixated on my lips and my urge to smash my lips against his was increasing exponentially.
Wait! No
Get a grip, you idiot.
I looked away before saying “I think we should start practicing.”
Ray closed his eyes and shook his head a little before nodding and we stood up.
****
After good ten minutes. Ray and I were practicing or should I say Fighting. Actually, Ray was fighting with me that I gave him difficult topics to present.
“Uhhh…. Raymond, Feed water pump INCREASES THE PRESSURE AND FORCES WATER INTO THE FUCKING STEAM GENERATOR. HOW IS THAT DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND?” I shouted.
“IT IS” he continued. “And since when did you start swearing?”
“I don’t swear” I replied quickly.
“Oh really!” he said mocking.
“Yeah”
“I thought I just heard you saying ‘fucking steam generator’,” he replied still mocking.
“Don’t tell this to anyone okay,” I ordered him. If it wasn’t him I would’ve pleaded but since it’s Ray I know I’m safe.
“As you say Cupcake” he whispered in my ear softly, sending shivers down my spine and only then I realized how close we were. Our faces were centimeters apart. I could feel his breath on my face. He stood there towering over me. Our Eyes were gazing at each other. His blue eyes captivated my dark brown ones.
I saw his gaze fell on my lips and before I could even think of doing anything his lips met mine. They were smooth and tender, telling me how much he cared about me. I almost melted into his kiss. Shivers going down my spine, I realized my hands going weak and numb. But I was in shock. I didn’t kiss him back. I wanted to but I didn’t.
By the time we pulled away, hundreds of reasons telling me why this was so wrong came to my mind. Why me? Ray can get any girl he wants. What if this is just another fling for him? What if all this doesn’t mean anything to him?
I felt his eyes on me. I stood there still shocked. I summoned up all my courage and looked up to him. Just then Bell rang telling us that first period was over.
“Soaf…… please” he said while his blue eyes were gazing into mine.
“I…. I have to go” I said shocked after what had happened just now.
Somehow I got out of his grip, took the file which fell on the floor when he pinned my hands on the wall and ran out of the classroom.
“Soaf…… Soaf” his voice faded as I ran out of the classroom.
What has just happened! I was in deep shock.
What the hell is wrong with him?
He kissed me. Raymond Reynolds…. the most popular boy in the school just kissed me.
And I liked it!
Why would he kiss me? He didn’t even know my name two weeks ago.
These thoughts kept swaying in my head as I rushed towards home. As soon as I got home I didn’t talk to anyone. I went to my room and locked it.
Whatever it was, I just didn’t want it to be another fling of his. Because I knew that it had a very high possibility, especially after considering all the girls he dated. I wasn’t even close to one of them on my looks department. Well, I succeeded in brains department because you know most of them were dumb Queen bee of school. But Raymond being most popular obviously wanted a beautiful girl. I wasn’t the one then.
Maybe I don’t mean anything to him. Wel, l there is a high possibility of that too, after considering what I witnessed at that Party. My mind is becoming so calculative right now, considering all the banes and the boons at once.
Uhhh. Why me?
My life is so messed up.
