Hayden's P. O. V.
I watched Millie splashing around in the river with Alison. Mischievous thoughts circulated in my mind as I saw her looking completely defenseless. I know I said I'd keep my distance from her from now on, but this was too tempting. I've been teasing her since we were little, so why stop now?
I swam behind her quietly. I kept my head underwater, so she didn't see me sneak up behind her. I was an excellent swimmer and I could swim without making splashing noises. I came up suddenly, then pushed her head under the water and let out an evil laugh.
"HAYDEN!" Alison screamed as she saw the event unfold.
Millie came up choking and spluttering water once her head was up. She glared at me and pushed me as I continued to laugh maniacally. Oh boy, she was furious and I think she was planning my murder already.
"You asshole!" she said, still coughing.
"Shit...are you okay?" I feigned concern but started to laugh again.
"N
Millie's P. O. V. I could tell I made Hayden uncomfortable by asking him that question. I wanted to see his reaction. I expected him to tell me that he had never thought of me like that. That I was just his sister's annoying friend. Or I was too young for him, but he just stood there quietly. His pale blue eyes turned dark. "You've always liked Zack," he said. "That's not what I asked. I asked if you ever thought about asking me out," I said. I genuinely wanted to know now. I needed to find out his true feelings for me. "What difference does it make?" he said and looked away. I couldn't take it anymore. He kept avoiding my question and pretending to act casual. But I knew better. I could hear his heart beating louder as I got closer to him. How long does he plan on denying his feelings toward me? Well, I am done waiting. If he couldn't make the first move, then it's my turn. I wrapped my arms around his waist and buried my face in his
Hayden's P. O. V. She confessed to me. She actually told me she likes me. She had no idea how difficult it was for me to keep my cool. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs to let everyone know how happy I was. And then tell her I loved her. She will finally be mine. Not Zack's or anyone else's. Mine. So why am I being a douche and not admitting my true feelings? It was for one reason only. I wanted to see if she thought I was worth the effort. I wanted her to show me she meant everything she said, and I was the one she wanted. I couldn't open my heart to her just yet. Because if she breaks it, I wouldn't be able to take it. But I couldn't let her off the hook without a kiss. So I pressed my lips on hers and poured all of my feelings into it. I wanted to devour her lips. I laughed as she threatened to make me hers.I'm already yours, silly girl,I thought to myself.I've always been yours. You just never realized it.
Millie's P.O.V. I stared at the dead squirrel on my pillow and screamed. Not because I was terrified of it but because I laid down next to it. My face almost touched its disgusting body. How did it get here? I suddenly remembered the dead rat I gave Zack as a present by mistake when I was thirteen. Courtesy of Hayden Myers. HAYDEN! Of course, it was he who put it on my pillow. It had to be him. Who else would it be? Sick bastard. Everyone looked inside my tent to see if I was okay. Zack and Alison poked their head in. I ran out of the tent to meet the rest of the family. "Honey, are you alright?" Mr. Myers asked in a concerned tone. That depends on his definition of alright. "I am okay. I am sorry for screaming. There's a dead squirrel on my pillow," I said and pointed at it. "Oh, how gross!" Mrs. Myers made a face. "Oh no, Millie Mouse, are you okay?" Hayden poked his head in and asked, feigning concern.
Hayden's P. O. V. After we got back home, I felt lonely because I hadn't seen Millie since. She must've been too busy to even hang out with Alison. I hope she isn't thinking about giving up on me already. Don't make me break into your room again, Millie,I thought. I decided to go for a ride. It was starting to feel a little stuffy inside the house, so I needed some fresh air. So I got my motorcycle out of the shed and prepared for a nice long ride to the mountains. "Can I come with you?" I was startled and turned around to see her standing there. It's like I somehow summoned her with my thoughts. "You want to go for a ride with me?" I asked. I was surprised. All these years of us being friends, she never asked me for a ride. In fact, I offered to take her for a joyride many times before, but she refused every time. No thanks, I don't want to die, she had said. "Do you really want to?" I asked again just to be sur
Millie's P. O. V. "Aaaahh! NO! Stop...I can't take it anymore!" I groaned and tried to wiggle out of Hayden's grasp, but he was too strong. He had me pinned down on the field, tickling me relentlessly. He knew I was sensitive to that and he was now taking advantage of it. "Say it...or I won't stop tickling you," he growled in my ears. "I will never say it. You degenerate fool!" I yelled, but I was getting close to admitting defeat. He is terrible! "I won't let you go unless you say it!" he smirked and continued to attack me. I so need to get him back somehow. "But...hahaha... If you...hehehe...don't... get off...people will think we are doing it!" I struggled to speak as he started to tickle me again. He was on top of me as we struggled on the ground. We were in a perfect position for people to get the wrong idea! "Say it, or I'lldoyou right here!" he declared. "You wouldn't!" I gasped. "Oh, wouldn'
Hayden's P. O. V. I went to her house for our 'date night' just as I promised her. It was Saturday night, so I made plans with her to come over to her house. Her parents were out of town for their second honeymoon, so this was our chance to spend some time alone. She wore this cute little outfit and did her hair and makeup. I couldn't help but feel flattered. She dressed up for me! I did the same for her. Just because she asked me out doesn't mean I shouldn't show some effort on my part! "I made pasta," she said shyly. "I would eat anything you make me," I said. Millie rolled her eyes, but I could tell she was flattered. I took a bite of the pasta Millie made and almost died. It tasted like high cholesterol and death. She must've poured the entire container of salt into it. "Mmmm...so good..." I said and hoped the tears in my eyes wouldn't fall down my cheeks. "It is?" she said excitedly and took a bite herself,
Millie's POV. I don't know how or where I got the courage to be so bold and asked him to kiss me like this. It was as if being near Hayden boosted my confidence. I can be myself around him without worry. I'm glad I asked because when I kissed him, it was like fireworks. I know I'm being cheesy, but there's no other way to describe it. My entire body hummed with awareness, and I wanted to taste him more. He was my drug. Then I felt him pull away from me, leaving me wanting more. "I should go," he said. He had a weird look on his face as if he was scared about something. "What, why? Did I do something wrong?" I asked with worry. "Of course not, Millie Mouse, I just don't think it's a good idea to do this..." he hesitated. "Oh my God, do I really kiss like a dead tree!?" I exclaimed. I thought he was joking. I never thought I would be a bad kisser! "What! No! I was only messing with you, crazy. You are great," he laughed a
Hayden's P.O.V. I left Millie's house as fast as possible because it was getting harder and harder to resist her, especially when she was so freaking close to me. And why did she have to kiss me like that? I wanted her so bad. But I knew she wasn't ready. I needed to wait, and I am willing to wait as long as I have to. After all, I don't have to be scared to lose her now that I know she likes me too. The next day, Zack and I were hanging out together, watching a movie on TV. Alison came home after school and decided to join us. "So, how was the meeting with your counselor?" Zack asked her. "What meeting?" I asked. "Each of us had to go see the counselor and discuss careers and universities and stuff," Alison said. "Oh? Where are you trying to go?" I asked her. "Well, I am hoping to go to Columbia University, same as Millie. Then we can be roomies!" Alison chirped. Is Millie going to Columbia? That worried me. That means
