(49): No Kissing

"I knew it" Nathan says proudly.

I look at him confused "Knew what?"

"That you and Kyle were making an excuse to have make-up sex last night" He smirks.

"Why? What do you see?" Nick chimes.

I'm also asking the same thing.

Nathan points to my neck smugly "I see a big purple bruise called a hickey on Chelsea's neck which obviously Kyle gave to her"

Right.

"So?" I retort recovering.

Nick smirks "Did you guys really fuck?"

"No" I screech incredulously.

"Then why do you have a hickey?" Nathan challenges, not believing me.

"Cause he gave me one" I say.

Why knew boys liked news? They hang too much around Kathrine.

These two idiots came a few minutes ago to come collect their stuff from Kyle's room and have just been bothering me ever since. We're in the kitchen. Nathan and I are sitting on the two chairs and Nick is sitting on the counter watching us.

Speaking of Kyle... he left after we had breakfast. Well, more like lunch because it was well past breakfast hours. I couldn't stop grinning at him the whole time. Whatever doubts I had about him liking me are gone... kind of. He was looking at me like I'm the prettiest girl in the world. Maybe he always has and I just didn't notice. That whole thing in my bedroom was so nice too. I can't stop thinking about it. His lips all over my face... my neck. The whole thing about him wanting to kiss me and why he can't yet. He should seriously be a poet because it made my heart skip a beat.

And lastly... him saying I'm his.

I think I am.

Anyways I need to start thinking of any excuse to get him to sleep in my room every night. It was so good! I want to wake up to his face again and again. Maybe I should say I'm scared Zorro will kidnap me in my sleep.

Yes! I'll say that.

"Hello? Are you too busy thinking about Kyle?" Nick snap a finger in my face, setting me back to reality.

"Sorry what did you say?"

Nick sighs "I was asking where he is"

"Oh. Something about his racing car so maybe he's at the track" I tell him.

"Oh, we're starting soon again" Nathan says.

"When are you going to get your car ready? Unless it already is" I ask curiously.

He hums "I'll go tomorrow"

"Can I come with?" Nick asks.

"Sure, whatever"

"So how long you the two of you known that your friend liked me?" I ask accusingly but playfully at the same time.

Nick snorts "Since forever. He was indenial"

"Speaking of... you two lost" Nathan smirks smugly and I raise a confused brow "Remember about two months ago I told you guys that you'd end up liking each other and you challenged me otherwise"

I laugh loudly remembering "Right"

"You prophesied this?" Nick gapes.

I know. It's freaky.

Nathan shrugs arrogantly "What can I say? I've mastered the art of human behavior. Especially if those humans include Chels and Kyle"

"That's so lame" I snort flatly.

"What's your next prophecy, Messiah?" Nick asks, playing along.

Nathan strokes his chin, acting deep in thought causing me to laugh loudly "I say... these two won't make it official any time soon knowing them"

How did he know?

"We're taking things slow" I defend.

Nick gapes looking at his friend "Dude, this is weird. How do you know?"

"I know them" Nathan shrugs.

"So what do you mean by you guys are taking it slow?" Nick asks after recovering.

I hum thoughtfully "Uhm, there's just a few things we have to take care of first before we can fully focus on more"

"What? His family thing?" Nathan asks.

"Yeah. Something like that" I confirm.

He gives me a look as if to say 'we'll speak about this later when he isn't here'. Right, Nathan knows about the Riley thing and Nick doesn't. Kyle probably asked him not to tell anyone too.

I wink at him to show I caught it.

"At least we finally have something to tease his dumbass about" Nick snorts.

"Which is?" I ask.

"He always teases me about Winnie and Nathan about Kat so now we can tease him about you"

Nathan laughs "Yes dude, you're right"

"You guys know I'm your friend, right? You can't say rude things" I say unimpressed.

"Relax, little Chels" Nick assures smirking.

Stupid boys.

The door opens before any of us can say anything else to reveal Kyle who is holding a box of pizza. I can't help but smile when I see him and food.

Fooooood.

"Oh yay, you guys are here" He says sarcastically.

"Hi to you too" Nathan deadpans.

Nick immediately jumps off the counter and hurries to him before taking the pizza "Let me help with that, friend"

Friend my ass. He just wants the food.

"Whatever" Kyle sighs giving in.

Nick brings the pizza to the table before opening it as we all happily take a slice and start munching. Wowza, I didn't realize how hungry I truly was.

We eat in a comfortable silence.

"Nicholas! Stop putting your pineapples on my pizza!" I protest slapping his hand away.

I was too busy stealing glances at Kyle to notice that he had been doing that. I was wondering why I had so many pineapples. Nathan laughs signaling that he noticed but didn't tell me.

Idiot.

"I don't want them!"

I step on his foot and he yelps "It doesn't mean you should put them on mine with your filthy hands, idiot"

He's so annoying.

"Here" Kyle says handing him a tissue "Put them on this"

Nick smirks taking it "Aww, you're helping your girl. That's so cute, dude"

"Wimp" Nathan snorts.

So this is what they meant by they can finally tease him about me. I remember Kyle and I used to do this to Nathan.

Kyle narrows his eyes "Fuck off. Both of you"

I can't help but laugh along with the other two boys as I cover my mouth because I still have unswallowed pizza inside. It's kind of funny. Kyle doesn't look amused at all.

"Oh calm down" Nick sobers up.

Kyle rolls his eyes wiping his hands "What time did you guys leave the club?"

"Mm, about an hour after y'all" Nathan says.

"Oh yeah" Nick drawls looking to remember something as he looks at me "Chels, your ex was looking for you"

"Noah?" I ask confused.

I can see Kyle clenching his jaw from the side of my eye.

Weird.

Nathan nods continuing for Nick "Yeah, he found Kat instead. Said it was urgent. She said she would tell you"

"Well she hasn't" I trial frowning.

"Maybe she'll tell you later" Nick says.

"Speaking of... I have to go pick her up right now" Nathan announces "Nick we have to go dude unless Kyle will drive you back"

"I won't" Kyle immediately dismisses.

Nick sighs taking one more slice. I'm pretty sure it's his fourth "Okay bye y'all"

"Bye" I wave as they walk to the door and exit.

I turn my head back to Kyle who is just watching me with an unreadable expression. He looks like he's contemplating saying something but doesn't think it's a good idea. I frown slightly.

"What?" I murmur.

He clears his throat shaking his head "You said you'd tell me your new years resolutions"

"Is that what you wanted to say?"

"Yeah" He says flatly.

I narrow my eyes at him unimpressed "No it's not. Tell me what you want to say, Chambers. I know you're lying"

"That is what I wanted to say" He argues.

I sigh annoyed "Fine"

"So then tell me" He says moving to sit on the chair next to mine.

"First tell me what you wanted to say"

He grumbles irritated, his jaw clenched slightly "Chelsea-Anne, really?"

I nod defiantly "Yes. Tell me"

"Fine. I was just going to ask what your ex wanted from you but you also don't know so there was no point"

"Oh" I drawl satisfied.

He rolls his eyes "See? No use"

"So... are you jealous, Chambers?" I tease.

He snorts "Please. You're obsessed with me. I have absolutely nothing to worry about"

He may be onto something...

"Oh is that so?" I laugh loudly covering my mouth and he nods smugly "I had absolutely no idea"

"Yeah sure" He laughs.

"You're the one who watched me sleep" I retort smugly causing his eyes to widen momentarily. Got him.

He clears his throat recovering "I was just kidding"

"I know you weren't"

"Fine, whatever" He grumbles.

I grin happily as I watch him "Kylie, you're so cute"

"Tell me your resolutions"

I hum thoughtfully "I don't know... I guess I just want everything to go smoothly in my life. I know it's wishful thinking but still"

"Interesting" He murmurs. "What else?"

"Uhm... I want to quit all my bad habits like procrastinating and overthinking"

He laughs "Yes on the overthinking"

"Why? What have you noticed?" I ask curiously.

"You think too much. Sometimes you just need to live in the moment and let things be. You're getting better though"

"I do live with the most dangerous boy on campus" I joke.

It's true.

He winks "Aren't you just lucky?"

"Tell me about it" I play along smiling "No but all of you helped though, especially the boys. I stopped being uptight now. Kind of"

"Yeah, you're better" He corrects.

"Better?" I scoff feigning offense "Listen... I watch and like drag racing now, okay? I go partying more occasionally. I tell girls off who come for me. And I like you so I'm nowhere near uptight. I'm a bad ass"

He bursts out laughing, throwing his head back after watching my rant "I won't argue with you there"

I smirk triumphantly "Thank you"

"We may have switched personalities" He hums thoughtfully.

"Like how?"

He shrugs "The guys say I've gone soft, and you're seemingly a bad ass now"

"Oh" I laugh "I think we did"

He also laughs "Weird"

"Do you like bad ass Chels?" I ask coyly, not really sure why exactly I'm asking him that.

"I like Chels" He says causing me smile widely as my face heats up. I don't think I'll ever get used to him admitting that he likes me "Stop grinning like that"

Wait a minute...

My eyes widen "You called me Chels!"

"I did?" He looks confused and unsure "Woah, didn't even notice"

"Say it again" I plea, my eyes wide.

He shakes his head "No"

"Come on"

"It was a mistake. You said it first then I got confused" He excuses.

I pout "I just wanna hear it"

"Why?" He sighs bored.

"Cause you've never said it before. I wanna hear it. I swear you'll never have to say it again"

"Promise?"

I laugh "Yes, I promise"

He sighs one more time "Okay I'm gonna say it now, Chels"

He shudders dramatically after saying it.

"That was so weird" I say in between laughs.

"I know" He shrieks "How do people call you that on a daily basis?"

"Stop being dramatic" I roll my eyes.

"I think I'm sticking with 'Chelsea-Anne' for life"

I shrug "No problem. I like it"

'Chels' seriously doesn't suit him. He's just naturally way too formal to call people by nicknames. Mystery solved.

"Of course you do" He says.

I narrow my eyes at him "What's that supposed to mean, Chambers?"

"You obviously like it" He snorts matter-of-factly "The guy you like calls you something other people don't. Girls like that shit"

I burst out laughing "You really think you've got girls figured out, huh?"

He always says things like that.

"You guys are predictable"

I scoff incredulously "We're predictable? Have you met your gender?"

"Yeah, yeah. We're not having the gender discussion. I've had it one too many times with Winona" He sighs.

I hum unhappily "I'll let it slide"

"So..."

I raise a brow confused "So what?"

"I've never done this" He says awkwardly gesturing between the two of us and I give him a look to elaborate "I've never liked a girl so... uh yeah"

"What?" I can't help but laugh.

He sighs, looking for the right words "Uh, I know we're not dating or anything, but uh we like each other and shit" He stops.

This guy.

"Kyle..." I giggle amused "What are you trying to say?"

He looks so flustered. So damn cute.

He groans, running a hand through his blonde hair causing me to laugh even more and he narrows his eyes at me demandingly as I sober up.

"Okay... do you, like, have rules for me or something? Are there things I'm not supposed to do or shit like that? The last thing I want to do is fuck things up"

Awwwwwww!

I'm so glad he asked that.

I smile shyly looking away "Uh, no girls"

"Jealous much" He snorts but I give him a pointed look and he rolls his eyes "Okay, no girls. No guys for you too"

I scoff "That won't be a problem"

"Including your ex. I don't like that guy" He says sternly.

"Relax. He's my ex for a reason"

He shakes his head unimpressed at my response "Just don't talk to him"

"Why?"

"Cause I don't fucking like him and he's still in love with you" He tells me flatly.

I roll my eyes "Fine. You can't talk to Angeline then"

"I though you liked her" He snorts amused.

"That was before she kissed you" I retort, still kind of angry about it. She stole my new years kiss! Mine!

Kyle laughs "Possessive, are we?"

"Don't start" I deadpan dryly.

"Fine, I won't speak to Angeline then. Is that all, Chelsea-Anne?"

I hum "Yeah I think so"

"I have a race next week" He starts off "I don't want you to come"

I frown instantly "What? Why not?"

"It's dangerous. You were right about my dad and Zach. I can just smell that they're up to no good and they won't waste any opportunity to strike"

I know he's right but I'm still sad.

"I wanna watch you" I whine.

"You've seen me multiple times. I'll win like I always do. You won't be missing anything. I'll come straight here when I'm done" He assures.

I frown "Okay..."

"I'll make it up to you" He bargains.

My eyes widen excitedly as ideas start to flood my mind "You will?"

"Yeah sure" He shrugs dismissively.

"Where's the enthusiasm?" I narrow my eyes at him unimpressed.

He rolls his eyes "Do you have any idea?"

Yes.

Maybe I should ask if he wants to sleep with me every night. Will that be too clingy? Too weird? Too creepy?

"I thought we were going to stop with the overthinking" He teases watching me.

I huff "Okay. I have no ideas"

"You're lying" He tells me.

"Uhm. Uh, what if Zorro kidnaps me at night in my sleep?" I blurt in one long sentence.

That's one way of putting it.

He laughs loudly, throwing his head back causing me to blush in embarrassment "You want me to sleep with you again?"

Bingo.

"Uhm no?" It comes out as a question.

"Yeah you do" He smirks knowingly.

I blush looking away from him "You're putting words into my mouth. I was just stating a possible scenario"

"Yeah?" He grabs my face turning me around "What do you want us to do about that scenario?"

I shrug sheepishly "Dunno"

"You're so cute" He chuckles causing me to blush again.

"Leave me alone" I grumble.

He suddenly moves closer to me, his grey eyes right in front of mine and his head tilted slightly cause me to gulp internally "No can do, Chelsea-Anne"

He's so gorgeous!

"Chambers" I utter warningly.

"Yes?" He tuts, his minty breath fanning my face, his eyes shining with amusement. His hand connects with my face as he caresses my obviously red cheek.

Oh god.

"Stop teasing. You know you're not going to kiss me" I whine.

He laughs, the sound so damn good "But I want to. Doesn't that count for anything at all, huh?"

I shake my head stubbornly "No"

Why does he have to be so caring?! Who cares if I'm not the only person he's thinking of? I just want his lips on mine. Now! I know I'm being unfair and he's actually very right, but what's a girl to do? I want him!

"Do you want me to kiss you?" He whispers.

So badly.

My eyes zero in on his pink lips and I nod slowly "Yes. But I know you're right"

"Good" He says moving away from me.

I whimper slightly.

I roll my eyes, still kind of upset "You suck"

"Good things come to those who wait, Chelsea-Anne" He teases ruffling my hair.

"Aren't you sexually frustrated or something?" I blurt uncontrollably.

He laughs "Wouldn't you like to know?"

"Have you still not had sex since your last race?" I ask curiously. I hope I will like his answer.

He raises a brow "What's with the questions"

"I'm curious" I excuse.

"Okay... no I haven't had sex since then"

I can't help the smile that breaks out of my face at his response. That was more than two months ago. I'm so proud and happy.

"Stop grinning like that" He deadpan.

"So why haven't you?" I ask.

He gives me a dry look but opens his mouth nonetheless "I haven't been in the mood"

"Or... I've been on your mind" I tease smugly.

Since when am I so arrogant?

He snorts "Sure. If that's what makes you sleep at night"

"Kyle!" I gape hitting his arm.

"I'm kidding. You have been, babe" He winks and I flush immediately, a huge grin breaking from my face as I cover it.

Babe.

"Stop" I scream, trying to stop my smile.

He laughs loudly as he holds my hand against his so they're not on my face. "Fuck, you're so adorable"

"I'm not" I complain, my face hot.

Suddenly he leans closer before laying a long kiss on my heated cheek. His lips feel so good and soft against my skin, and I have to hold back a happy sigh. That makes everything worse.

"You're not cute" I push him away when he's done and just staring at my flushed face.

He chuckles "Well, you are"

This boy!

"Leave me alone" I grumble.

He just laugh as he watches me trying to stop the traitorous smile on my face.

I like him so much!

You guys, I think I want to start writing more in Kyle's POV. Tell me what you guys think about that.

Thank you. ❤️
