Scott POV
She left! I told her I love her and she left. She just got into that car and walked away. I squeezed my hands tight so I don't run after the car and lessen the tires. I'm mad that she left just right after I confessed I love her and I'm also slightly mad at myself for saying that in front of my friends.
Now, they're all looking at me like I have two heads. Fuck! So much for being a fuck boy.
I noticed Kale walking toward me. "Don't even say a word" I tell him and he shrinks back. I've got to find her. I need to hear what she has to say.
I know she already told me I'm late but I don't believe that. I could see the longing in her eyes when I told her I love her. She doesn't have me fooled. She loves me too. I know.
"What was that about, Scott" Kim ruptured! I don't even have time for her nonsense right now either.
"Aren't
I stood in the doorway to Scott's room which as Elle said, was opposite mine. Scott was sitting on the bed with his face pressed against his palms. He was shirtless but in loose pants. I knocked twice on the door and his head snapped up.They looked hopeful when they saw me standing there but I wasn't still ready to promise him anything until I know what this his new habit is about. I walked into the room and shut the door behind me."Let me see your hand" I said and sat next to him. I had noticed the cloth he wrapped around it when he walked in and he'd tried to hide it from me throughout dinner."It's nothing" he mumbled."It's either I see or I leave" I said and hoped he didn't say Leave. Cause I'm sure he's capable of doing anything at anytime. But instead, he looked defeated as he raised his hand to me. I uncovered the clothe to find his knuckles busted."How did this happen?"
I thought I was completely at sleep until I heard a strangled scream from across the hall. I jerked out of bed and got to my feet while listening for that scream to come again."Please! Help!"Scott! The voice was coming from his room. He was having a nightmare again. I remember the last time was when we were at his loft. Seriously, I thought it stopped. I was thankful he didn't lock the door as I rushed into the room and I gasped at the sight in front of me.Scott was sweating and his legs tangled up in the sheets. A crease formed on his brows while his lips parted. I found myself hovering over him and brushing his sticky hair away from his face."Wake up, Scott. It's just a dream" I said to him and his eyes snapped opened. I thought he was going to scream or do something silly but to my surprise, he pulled me by my waist and dragged me to his side. He tucked his hands beneath my head and the other went r
Seating in one of Prof. Astor class made me realise that I haven't given him an answer to his offer. He must've been waiting for long but I still haven't contacted my mom. She told me to text her some few days back but I ignored that. The reason, unknown to me. Oh yeah!...Knowing my mom, once I call her or pick up any of her calls, her first question would've been to ask about how I'm faring and I wasn't so sure I was doing fine under the last few weeks. Except when Scott told me he loved me. I felt great and now, we're together I hope. I just wish he doesn't do something stupid. He always does. Mostly, it's just his temper.David clasped his hands on mine and I stared at him. The class was over and I'd drawled my way through. I only hope I can meet up soon. This semester is coming to an end in two weeks anyway and we'll be In the holiday seasons. The Christmas seasons. No wonder it's been so cold lately.
I set the bowl of flour on the kitchen counter and stood behind it. Scott insisted he wanted pancakes and we're making it together. I watched as he cracked four eggs into a bowl. Now it's ready for whisking."You know the semester is ending soon right" I said, hoping to catch a conversation. Scott has been too quiet and I'm beginning to think he's still mad about the Jacob incident."Of course I'm aware. Aren't I in the school? " he poured the whisked egg into the bowl of floor and then I started mixing it."That leads to the second question. Do you know it's less than there weeks to Christmas?" I asked and he chuckled."Are you trying to annoy me?""Nope!"i set the bowl of mixed flour down and then put the pan on the cooker while Scott added milk to the mixture. I don't know why he insist on using milk all the time. I love mine without milk. But either way, it's still good pancake.
I squeeze my hands tight drawing blood. Scott was strolling to where David and I stood. He had his hand filled with coffee. Coffee from Rose's cafe. He went to see her. He looked sleek in dark jeans and for once, it wasn't ripped at the knee. He was on a plain black shirt and on it, he wore a long jacket that reached to his knees. And I'm well aware that I'm not the only girl staring at him right now.He's mine. I'll be goddamned!When he got to me, he grinned popping his dimples. "I got these for you" He literally pushed the coffee into my hand. All around were some people staring at us. Somehow, he managed to make an entrance. I stared at him and shook my head with a grin. Classic Scott."You went to see Rose? Why?""To ask for blessings" Scott said timidly making Joseph laugh. I hit his arms and he stopped."Really? Blessings? Just yesterday you asked me to move
Kim stared at both of us like she's just seen her greatest nightmare, coupled up with an evil smirk like she was going to unleash all hell on both of us. Walk away Storm. Just walk away. But no. I stood there, challenging her to say one shit to me. I've had enough of her attitude and she always trying to come in between Scott and I. My fist clenched tightly."What are you doing here?" Scott asks her and her eyes flickered from me to Scott as if sending him a signal."Oh so what? She lives here now?" Her wicked mouth spurned. I stayed by Scott, still, waiting."Just leave Kim""Don't you think this is too much? You've gone too far Scott" She scoffed and Scott turned to me looking a bit uneased."Stormy, go up. I'll be there with you soon" He said and my anger flared up. How dare he trie to shut me out on this. And he called me Stormy. Not Strom. That's an un
That's it. This Semester is over. I walked out of literature class with David by my side. He too was grinning. It was a stressful semester. Especially for me. The fight and the quarrels with Scott put me in a bad position. But I'm glad it's all over. I hope it's all over."So what do you plan on doing during the holidays. Going back to Canada?" David asked me. We were headed for the coffee shop to have a last of it for this year before next semester."Nope. My mom is coming over instead" I said and he stopped walking, only to look at me."And she's going to stay with you and Scott in his apartment?""It's our apartment now" I reminded him. "And by the way, Scott seemed pleased about it"David pushed open the door for me to enter to enter the cafe. I smiled at his gentlemanly behaviour."Wow. That doesn't sound like Scott at all but if you say he's ok with it, cool"
The ride back home was quiet and observing. I spent most of the time staring out through the window at the buildings rushing by. Scott too was silent as he drove, his left hand on the steering wheel and the right kept running through his hair in between minutes.We were both waiting for who would break the silence. The conversation or more like heated talk at the coffee shop. The spark between David and Scott has been lingering around for a while now but today, it went off. I was expecting Scott to react more than he did but he didn't. The topic of Anna mellowed him down."Storm" Scotts voice sliced through the silence in the car. I swiveled my head to look at him. He was contemplating something in his head. But what?"Are you mad at me? Please say something""I'm not mad" was my honest reply. I faced the window again."I know you better than that, Storm. Something is bothering you"
