UNFAMILIAR GESTURES

IAN'S POV 

Honestly, when I saw the bruises on her face, I fucking knew who could do such a thing. "Ian," Raven pulled my shoulder. I turned to look at him. "You know she's in trouble now," he said. 

I narrowed an eye. I tilted my head to the side. "Is that my problem?" I asked calmly. 

"How are you so calm in situations like this? Have you forgotten what happened to Lily?" He asked. I clenched my jaw as soon as I heard that name. 

I looked at him with anger. "Was that my problem? I don't fucking care who gets hurt.....I didn't force them to like me," I said as calmly as I could be. Forget that he's my cousin. 

"What about her? Aren't you forcing her to fucking want you? Isn't that part of the fucking bet?" He yelled. 

I scoffed. Now, he has crossed the line. "What about him? Aren't you forcing him? You don't like him, and he doesn't like you. But you still keep him around like a fucking pet because his Mom is poor!" I yelled angrily.

He knows that I'm fucking pissed. He chuckled. "Is that what you think?" He asked. "Well, it's true. He's my little pet. It's better than him being a burden. You know how all these came about. Don't try to turn the tables to my fucking side," he warned before walking past me. 

I took a deep breath and sighed. I composed my glasses and made my way back to class. There's no way a newbie would cause us an argument this early.

I got into the class. My eyes roamed the classroom till they fell on Alice. She sat there, quiet as usual. I walked up to her slowly. I leaned down. "We need to talk later," I whispered. 

She looked up at me and smiled. "You figured it out?" She asked. Cute. I smiled. I patted her head. 

"We promised that you'll be a good girl," I said. She frowned immediately. She looked away from me. She knew all these weren't worth it. 

"We'll talk later," she said. I scoffed silently. 

"That's what I said," I replied before leaning back up. The bell rang. Noah and Daniel got up. Raven remained angry in his seat. 

"What the fuck did you do to him?" Daniel asked quietly. I sighed and walked up to him.

"Let's forget about what happened earlier," I sighed with my hands in my pockets. He looked up at me. Glare, actually. 

"Don't fucking say that again," he said. I shrugged. He got on his feet. We all left the class. 

"Ian," I looked to my left. The new girl again. She has been fucking with my DM lately. I eyed her from head to toe. Worth it. 

"Hi....." I looked at her, waiting for her to tell me her name. 

"It's Anna," she replied. I stared at her. She looked up into my eyes. It's like something trapped her. It happens every fucking time. "Can we hang out  sometime?" She asked. 

I think I'll leave this one to Alice. "Hmm," I nodded my head. "I'm heading to a boxing centre later tonight, I'll send you the address," I said. Her eyes lit up instantly.  

"I'd love to," she replied before happily rushing off. 

"Whatcha gonna do with this one?" Noah leaned closer to my ear. I ignored them and continued walking.  

The cafeteria went silent as soon as we stepped in. Every eye moved to us. We all took a seat. "Not hungry?" Raven asked. I shook my head. I pulled out my phone and kept reading about natural disasters. 

My mind drifted off to her.....her again. She makes me so fucking curious about her innocence. I want to know how she'd feel when I bury myself deep inside her. 

I feel like it'll be so fucking different from all the other girls. But first, I need her to think I like her or something. This one is not gonna be easy, but it's gonna be fun. One time would be enough for me. There's nothing special. All of them end up being the same. 

My sister and Jenny walked into the cafeteria. Jenny is a hard one. That one is smarter than any girl in this school. I hope my sister is the same. 

If any fucker touches my little sushi, I'll kill them. She's my number one priority in this life. Let's just say she's a burden that I never want to get rid of. 

She's smiling right at me. I furrowed my brows in confusion. Why the fuck is she smiling? She rushed up to me and embraced me. 

"There's my favourite brother," she wrapped her arms around my neck. I looked at her through my glasses. What did I do? She kissed my face. 

"Why?" I asked her. 

"You helped Willow, of course," she replied. Is that what she told her?

"Actually -" I cut Raven off by hitting his foot.

"I never thought my brother would ever help anyone. I thought wrong," she replied with a smile. That smile. It makes me want to do everything that she likes. But she knows how I show her affection.  

"Could you leave now?" I asked her rudely. She grimaced and hit my head. 

"And I'm here praising you," she rolled her eyes and walked off. I sighed. 

"Why did you do that?" Daniel asked. I eyed the motherfucker. "Do you actually like that girl?" He asked. Where is he getting all these thoughts from? Asshole.

Alice walked in with Isabella and Lola. She glared at me before walking off to her usual table. I smirked, causing her to look away instantly. Is she thinking I'm bothered about what she did to Willow? 

Why does everyone think that this is my final say? I can't stick to one girl. Hell, no way. Alice just needs a fuck and that'll be okay. It's not like I'm dating Alice.  Ewwe.

WILLOW'S POV 

As soon as school was over, I grabbed my backpack and limped my way to the door, only to open it and see Ian standing there. 

He eyed me from head to toe. He looked at my bag. "I told you to wait for me," he said. "Where do you think you're going?" He asked. 

I gulped and took a step back. "Th-thank y-you for your he-help, but I think I should go by myself," I said.  

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer to him. He lifted me into his arms. I instinctively wrapped my arms around his neck. 

"Do you want me to take you out like this?" He threatened. I shook my head. "Then cooperate," he said before placing me down on my feet. 

I sighed. Goodness, what am I gonna do? I bit my lips and looked up at him innocently. 

"Do that one more time and I'll be the next to bite those lips," he threatened again. He wants to bite my lips? I let go of my lip immediately. 

He moved out of the way for me to pass. I walked out of the room while he followed behind me. I slowly, but steadily walked towards the hallway.  Ian walked up to me and held me. He wrapped his hand around my waist,  instantly sending chills down my spine. I gasped and slowly looked at his arm on my waist. I felt a strange tingle when his palm held my tummy. 

He helped me down the hall. Luckily, no one was in sight. We managed to exit the school without anyone seeing us. "Do you want me to carry you?" He asked. I could see a sign of care on his stern-looking face. 

"I'm okay," I replied. My eyes roamed the parking lot. I noticed his green Mercedes from this morning.  My cheeks heated up in an instant. 

Then, that's when it happened. A pack of students, rushing out of the building. I started panicking.  People's attention quickly diverted towards us. Then she appeared......Alice.  

She stood there with a drink in her hand. I couldn't process her face when Ian pulled me towards his car. 

He opened the passenger door for me. I nervously got into the car. He shut the door. 

I looked at all the stares. Alice was still glaring at me which made me more scared. Soon, I realised that she couldn't see me. The windows were tinted. 

I looked at Ian. I followed his movements. He leaned closer to me, causing me to flinch. He looked up at me in confusion. I stared back at him. My heart beat picked up instantly. 

Another proximity which I'm yet to understand. He pulled on my seatbelt. I followed his movements. I then realised that he just wanted to grab my seatbelt. He helped me fix it. 

He put on his before starting the engine. Before we realised it, we were on the road. It was silent at first and I kinda prefer it that way. But then, he spoke.  

"Are you hungry?" He asked. I was really hungry, I hadn't had anything since Mom prepared breakfast.  But I think it's better not to tell him that. I don't want to bother him. 

"No, I'm fine," I replied timidly. My stomach decided to betray me at that moment. It grumbled, causing a chuckle to escape his mouth. He chuckles? That's somewhat humour.  

I smiled, but as soon as he looked at me, I composed myself. "Let's get you something to eat....." He eyed my body. "You really need it," he said quietly.  

I looked at my body. Is he saying I'm thin? He slowly parked his car in front of a shop. I looked at him. "You really don't have to -" he cut me off.

"Shut it," he mumbled. I held my lips sealed. He removed his seatbelt and turned off the car. I took a deep breath.  

He opened the car door and hopped out without saying a word. I released a breath I didn't know I was holding. I relaxed and closed my eyes. 

Surprisingly,  I fell asleep on the spot. 

"Willy," I slowly opened my eyes. I turned to my right. Ian was looking at me. His hand was on my hair as he slowly moved it away from my face. "You seem so tired, I didn't want to wake you," he mumbled. I looked around to see that we were at my house. 

Wait, he didn't wake me up because he thought I was tired? That's so sweet of him. "Thank you," I mumbled before removing the seatbelt.  I got out of the car and so did he. 

I looked at him confused. "You haven't eaten," I said, looking down at his hand. He was holding the stuff he bought when I was asleep.  

I rushed to get it. "Thank you," I tried to grab it but he pulled it away. I looked up at him. 

"Let's go in. I want to see you eating," he ordered before walking towards my front door.  I turned around and looked at him nervously.  He stood in front of the door, waiting for me to open the door. 

I sighed. "I'm going to eat it," I whined. I saw a small smirk form on his lips when I whined. He grabbed my hands and pulled me towards him. 

"I want to watch you eat," he replied. I looked up at him. 

"Why?" I asked. 

"Open the door, I'll tell you," he said. Since he'll answer my question, I'll let him in. I pulled out the key from my bag and opened the door.

We both walked in and I shut the door. I noticed he was not looking around, like he's been here before. He took a seat. 

"Come get your food," he said sternly. I walked up to him. Instantly, he pulled me down to his lap. I gasped in shock.  

He wrapped his hands around my waist when I tried to get up. I whined uncomfortably. His breath fanned my neck. This heat made me feel weird, different.  

"Don't let any boy touch you, okay?" He said. I felt so jelly right now, like I have no control over my body. He placed his chin on my shoulder. 

"Wh-why?" I asked.

"Because they're not your friends," he whispered against my ear. I shivered. 

"What if I made a guy friend?" I asked. 

"Then don't. Fucking don't," he mumbled.  

"Why?" I asked, gulping.  

"Because I want you," he mumbled. His hands made way to my chest. He roamed them around till they landed on my boobs. I looked down in shock. Suddenly, I felt hot all the way down there. What does he mean?
