Touch Me While I Taste You

Chapter 32

What do you mean?’ I question, slightly intrigued slightly afraid of the answer: But that’s what Haiden Cross does to everyone anyway. He installs fear while also intriguingone to wonder. To wonder who the real Haiden was behind all this hard exterior Something about his tone told me that whatever he meant wasn’t at all rainbows and sunshine. It was a brewing storen. A storm I was afraid I’d get in the crossfire of. He pointed at the bricked building II get in there and hear another asshole call me herpy guy again, then I won’t be ablet o stop myself from pounding his face in. I only have one more strike and I’ll get expelled. I can’t afford that.” His voice had gone back cold. And by the way his voice hissed out the words I could just tell he was probably rehearsing what upset him in his head. As his words sank in, all I could feel was ili of starting all of this. His volo Wis iliick enough with emotlantong how upset he was lwy all of the rumors. “%c then that means the rumor || bothers you…” I drawled out not entirely speaking to him bit more to myself. The Words just came out without my permission and I wished they hadn’t. At least not at this very moment. “I don’t fucking care about the rumor!” H e roars, completely catching me off guard and startling me enuigh to take more than one step back. Before I knew it, the bottom of my converse DOW Scrunched on top of the grass. I was not on the concrete anymore but away from Häideri I might have gotten used to his cold personality but I haven’t quite gotten used to his sudden change of moods. He must have seen the shock and fear that betrayed me and showed in my eyes because he sighs in dejection, looking apologetic. “Sorry.” His voice lowers. He lifts a hand and racks it through his already messy hair. “Sorry I didn’t meant 0…..shit. I can’t ever do anything right when it comes to you.” His last words are

a law whisperwhich made mehe that it was all just a fragment of my Heclenched his cye,ww ilking ini frustration. “Just leave it Bella. I don’t care about the rumor.” He opens his eyes and pins me with a look that said otherwise He cared, the rumor was getting to him more than he let on. And all of it was allm y fault. Ineeded to fix this. “What’s her name?” I asked. The words had rolled out before I could even think them through Haiden looked confused as he peered down at me. “What?” “The girl who’s spreading the rumor.” I grumble faintly but he catches it. Haiden starts at me for a couple of seconds before a chuckle slips out of his tempting lips. “Well, she’s standing right here” He raises an amused eyebrow as he stared at my feet. Follodiny eye, not at all imused. Time was ticking, literally. Sooner or later the ll wild ring and I wasn’i sosure I’d hr: able to stop the numar heure the day ends. In fact, I wasn’t so sure I could stop dat all, but I could at least try, Expecially since I was the case “You know who I’m talking about Halden. The girl who came to your room last night, the tree girl.” Haiden throws his head back and lets out 1 bark of laughter. “Tree girl” He then stops laughing and looks at me with a tiny ghost of a smile on his face. – You amuse me Bella.” I let out an impatient groan, scowling at him. “Stop beating around the bush Haiden! His eyes twinkled as he folded his arms.” So demanding.” He clicked his tongue. He laughed when he saw how frustrated I was becoming ” Fine. What do you want with Sasha? I shrugged. “Nothing much, just a little friendly chat. Mind telling me her last He his portraying himselias con waha Koks skeptical. “I dan’t lunaw. You don’t seem all that friendly.” Igritied my teeth growing more and more impatient and irritated. “Well I can also be a bitch if that’s what yoll want.” I Snapped, fury clouding iny senses. Maybe I should leave and just call it a day. But as I look into his eyes the anger slips away. He didn’t deserve this no matter how much of an asshole he is. Besides, I wouldn’t want him to retaliate and ruin whatever perfect reputation I had.

Being up all in my head made me miss the fact that Haiden had somehow come close to me. It was only the sound of the grass crunching beneath his boots did I realize that the scent of cigarette and mint had gotten stronger. Imave my eyes off his black shirt that was a few inches away from my face and sucked in a sharp breath when his head dips. My eyes flick to his lips unknowingly and I felt my pulse quicken.

There was a mising nen i had never Teli before as I waited for what he would DHUNE No one can explain how disappointed I was when he shifted his head until his hot breath fanned against my car, “Only for me.” He whispers, the feeling of his breath against my car and neck made a shiver run down my spine. Tamn shocked by the leeling and seemed t o be frozen solid, Haiden pulls away, his face leveling with mine as he soltly holds my chin and brushes his thumb under my bottom lip. “But for others let’s keep your perfect persona up” He smirks pinching the skin of my chin. “Name is Sasha Phillipx.” His words finally got me out of the trance I seem to always get myself stuck in with him. I finally regained the little composure I had left, coaxing the shivers to let up. I glared into his eyes, slapping his hand away from me as I took a step “back. There is something called personal pice Hajdeiu.” I grumble and started to walk away from him I was now on the hunt for Sasha Before I disappeared from his sight Halden stap me.” Hey Erila! My steps faltered beforelhalt “What?” asked, not turning around to face him. The shivers had subsided but the racingo f my heart didn’t. I feared looking at his face would push me over the edge. “Try smiling once in a while. It suits you “He murmurs. I inhaled a breath not bothering to answer him as I walked away.
