I'm. Going. To. Kill. Sean. Fuller. Or maybe Ryder is.
After my talk with Sean, I assumed he got the message that we were going to stay friends for now. Apparently he did not, because now he was acting like we were a couple.
This morning when we ran into each other at school, he was treating me like normal.
But at lunch, things had changed.
It started with him taking the seat right next to me, which was okay, if not a little awkward because Ryder was sitting at my other side. Then, he kept touching me. Putting his arm around my waist, holding our hands together, and whispering things in my ear. This was obviously making Ryder angry. Everytime he touched me Ryder would grip his fork so hard, that it eventually bent in half.
And now. . .
"So, when are we going on our next date, love? I had so much fun on our last three."
This is the last straw. I'm honestly surprised he lasted this long.
"What did you just say?" Ryder's voice is so angry that I can barely make out what he's saying. He grabs Sean by the neck and I almost have a heart attack.
"Ryder! Put him down!"
He leans forward and says something in Sean's ear that makes him turn about three shades lighter, before reluctantly pushing him away with enough strength that he slides a few feet across the floor.
I've never seen a fight before, but I don't think that's normal.
As I go to check on Sean, Ryder walks away without even glancing me.
"Hey, are you ok?"
"Iâ" he says, immediately bursting into a coughing fit. "I think so."
I cringe. His voice sounds raw. "What did he say to you?"
"Nothing, Emma." Okay, so he's going to lie.
"I know this probably isn't the time to yell at you, but why were you acting like we were a couple in the first place?"
"Because I wanted to get back at him." He winces as he gets off the floor. The people around us were already starting to lose interest. Although I've never seen one, fights happen at our school more than they should.
"For what?"
"Sabotaging our date, embarrassing me in front of the whole cafeteriaâ for the second time now, threatening me to stay away from you when I asked you out on our first date. . .and because. . .he stole you away from me."
I'm silent as I take this all in.
"I know you said that you haven't chosen anyone yet, but I don't believe that Emma. You already chose him. You just don't know it yet," he laughs softly, "anyways, this is a little too Hallmark for me. I like you, I really do, but this isn't a love triangle between us. It never was."
He sits down to eat and immediately starts a conversation with Link, which I figure is his polite way of telling me that he doesn't want to talk right now.
But he's right. In the end, I think I would've chosen Ryder.
I sigh. Even when I try not to hurt people, I still do.
I make my way out of the cafeteria to look for Ryder. Hoping that he hasn't left school.
After walking for a few minutes, I finally find him.
He's pacing back and forth in the empty hallway, eyes wild like an animal and fists clenched in fury. He stops pacing when he sees me, and although I can tell a storm of anger is raging inside of him, he still doesn't take it out on me.
"You went out with him? More than once?" His voice is deeper than I've ever heard it, but it's the pain and disappointment in it that really gets to me.
"Yes," I say, wringing my hands together in guilt. I obviously know that I can date whoever I want, he doesn't own me, but I always feel awful when I hurt him.
"When I was gone?" I nod.
"Emma," he growls, pulling me into an abandoned classroom.
"Wait," I breathe as he locks the door, "Sean and I areâ"
Without a word, he buries his hand in my hair, and pulls my lips to his.
My body goes on fire as our lips make contact, like it's been waiting for this moment for years. His lips glide over mine, possessive and hot, and our bodies are so close that we're touching everywhere. He groans as he deepens the kiss by tilting my head up with the hand that was in my hair, and trailing his tongue along my bottom lip. When his tongue finally slides into my mouth, tingles explode throughout my body with a strength that I've never felt before. He tries to pull me impossibly closer to him with a low moan, obviously feeling it too. Our tongues are still tangling together when Ryder pulls away from me slightly.
"You're mine. Not his. Do you understand me?" He's still close enough that his lips brushed against mine when he spoke. He growls when I don't answer him, crashing his lips back on mine.
The kiss is more desperate this time. I can feel his frustration now as he backs me against the wall and kisses me harder, like his plan is to kiss me until I can only say yes. He pulls away again, his hands trembling a little bit. "Give me a chance, Emma. Please."
I can't even think right now, much less speak. I try to get words out of my mouth, but before I can his mouth is on me again. I think he took my silence as a no.
I'm barely thinking straight as I slide my hand under his shirt, silently asking him to take it off. With a shiver he throws it over his head.
What little thought I had completely leaves my head when I see him shirtless.
He's practically perfect. His chest is wide and defined, sitting below a pair of broad, strong shoulders. He has a six pack too, of course, because he just has to be even hotter than he already was. His biceps and forearms are sinewy in a way that isn't over the top and the veins on them aren't bulging to the point where it would gross me out.
He shifts and I'm suddenly embarrassed over the fact that he's watching me perv out on him. But as I meet his eyes, I see how hot they are and how he's looking at me like I'm the sexiest woman he's ever seen in his life.
"It's yours, Angel," he says, his voice deep and husky, "you can stare as much as you want."
This time I'm the one who jumps him as I grip his hair in my hand and pull him to me. I moan when his lips start kissing down my neck. He reaches a spot just above my collarbone, gently sucking on it with his mouth, and I swear I see stars. When I let out a loud moan, he growls against my neck.
"Soon, baby."
I have no idea what that means but I really don't care right now. All I want is his lips on mine again. But then his hands go around my waist, so he can pick me up, and because we're not kissing and he's staring straight at me, he can see me wince in pain.
Everything stops as we both just stare at each other, breathing heavily. He doesn't say anything as he quickly reaches his hand under my shirt and lifts it up. He inhales sharply as he sees my bruises, gently running his fingers over some of them. Well thank God, he's only seeing them now. They were way worse a couple days ago.
"How?" Just like earlier on today, his voice is such a deep growl that I can barely understand it.
"Emma. How?" His closes his eyes, and this is probably the first time I've ever heard him raise his voice at me.
"I fell down the stairs," I lie.
"Emma. One last chance. I'm not playing games with you."
"I played paintball with Sean," I mumble, rolling my eyes. I should at least be able to lie to him sometimes.
He growls. "Does it hurt a lot?"
"No." That was true. In the beginning it hurt everytime I moved, now it only hurts if I touch it. "Hey, you're not going to do anythiâ"
And then the bell rings, cutting me short.
Ryder throws back on his shirt and then gives me a sweet kiss. "I'm not done kissing you. I never will be, but we have to put this on pause for now."
He kisses me once again, before walking out of the class. I couldn't help but feel like he was up to something. Ryder usually doesn't leave my side until the school day is over.
I touch my lips, still feeling it tingle from the way we kissed. I can't believe I even did that. In a classroom? And I made him take off his shirt? That's so unlike me.
But Ryder does kind of drive me crazy.

Ryder's six pack: ðð
Just kidding lol (obviously). Â Picture him how you want.
I don't know if you guys heard (if you're not following me then you probably didn't) but I lost electricity a lot of last weekend. And the weekends are when I mainly write, so I couldn't upload last week and that's why.
Anyways, have a great day! Hope you liked their sexy scene. :P
I'm pretty sure there's typos, btw. I finished this a past one in the morning. My judgement (and my writing) usually aren't top-notch at this time. So tell me if there's any, please!
Vote if you liked the kiss scene! ;)
