Chereads / WHEN LOVE STRUCK / Chapter 17 - Truth.

Chapter 17 - Truth.

Destiny walked into the Peterson's household as she parked her bike somewhere around the huge compound. she had a box in her hand and her bag pack laid gently on her back she smiled and greeted every worker she walked by.

Hey you?, I didn't see you around yesterday, what happened? Chad asked her as she walked to the huge door.

I was out with friends, she smiled cheekily.

you have friends?, he mocked.

Hey, She protested and hit his arm, he let out a small chuckle.

I do have friends thank you very much. destiny defended.

I was joking, he said with his hands up in defeat, for fear that she might hit him again, I was afraid that you've had enough and quit, I couldn't handle sir jerky pants all by myself, he said with a whisper and laughed.

destiny smiled, she didn't find that funny anymore Kyle could be a jerk sometimes, but he was a nice person.

anyways. See you around she said and walked in.

as she climbed the stairs it made her want to eat up her words, she couldn't believe Kyle still haven't offered for her to use his elevator, As she got to the last floor she breathed out hard, and held her waist.

she walked up to his door and knocked, but there was no answer, so she tried her luck and turned the door handle, it opened up.

Why is his door opened? she thought out loud, has she dropped the box on his desk near by.

Kyle? Kyle?, oh Sir Kyle?.

Ugh did he leave without me?, she asked and pout as she walked around the room.

No he didn't, a husk and familiar voice said from behind her and before she could turn, he hugged her from behind, he was warm, she held his arm that was leaning across her chest and smiled.

I missed you, Kyle said as he sniffed her hair.

Uhmm, did you now? I was only gone half a day you big baby. she teased and tap his arm.

Did you miss me? he asked her as he gently kissed her neck.

Kyle?.

He broke the hug and walked around her, he was facing her now. what? he asked back.

Kyle, we've talked about this. she answered timidly.

No, you've talked about this, while I barely listened, Because all I could think about was how red your lips were, and how I wanted to kiss them he said and moved an inch closer.

She rolled her eyes, Lord knows how many girls you've used that line on, she said unimpressed.

just you baby, he said and did a little dance.

yeah right. she scoffed.

Did you miss me he asked again with a smile.

Of course I missed you, she said tryna distract her self, by folding up her sleeve.

and you expect me to believe that? he asked his face more serious than before.

Yeah, you know my friend from church said it was gonna be a small get together, she lied, that wasn't a party it was an event, and I had this small regret at the back of my head, saying if I had known it would turn out like this I would have taken you with me, so yeah I missed you.

hmmm.

what about you? you claim you missed me but couldn't even call to check up on me, she scolded.

I don't do calls woman, he defended.

whatever, here, she said walking up to the box, I brought this for you, she added with excitement all over her face.

what's this? he pretended not to know has he asked,

Open it, she ordered, which he did and he tried so hard not to break character when he saw the contents, it was a box of donuts, the same donuts that guy gave her, he could tell, because one was Missing.

uhmmm donuts, why is there one missing tho, he asked.

oh I gave one to Mathilda, she answered, she said she couldn't have much sugar, so she only took one.

uhmm, Kyle motioned and nod has he took a bite out of the donut in his hand, and placed it back.

it was good, he couldn't deny that, one of the best he'd tasted.

So where did you get this from, he inquired has he took yet another donut taking just one bite and dropping it back in.

It was from the... could you not do that?. destiny asked, she couldn't hide her irritation any longer.

Do what? he asked back with his mouth full.

Do, what your doing right n... there, that! taking a bite and dumping it back in the box, just eat them like a NORMAL PERSON. she scolded.

if I can remember clearly and I can, you gave me this, it's mine now, which means I can do whatever I want with it, No?. Kyle asked.

Whatever.

Now come sit and tell me about this event, don't leave ANYTHING OUT. Kyle said as he sat on his bed motioning for her to come sit Aswell.

Well, the drive there was about 30 minutes to an hour max, but, because I'm terrible at driving it took me almost two, she said embarrassed, Kyle listened patiently.

So on my way to the party charlie asked me to pick up some desserts for her, Which I did, then I drove to her house, gave her the gift I bought, had a few laughs, made some new friends I'm probably sure I'll never see again, and then we danced the night away.

Is that all? he asked.

oh, yeah and Charlie got one of her driver's to drive me back home it was The Best party honestly, one could hear the excitement in her voice, has her eyes recalled the night before.

hmm, meet anybody new? yunno I wasn't there to chase all the guys from you, I don't do that by the way, he teased wisely.

you do too, and no, sadly, they weren't any guys, she feigned ignorance.

he just nod, thanks for the donuts, shall we? he streached out his hands and she took it.

Did you do your literature assignment?.

yeah.

Great I'm gonna copy off you.

The ride to school, was fast but enjoyable, destiny had never had this fun on a Tuesday morning before, maybe she wasn't sober yet, maybe she still had some little trace of white wine running through her veins, whatever it was she was pumped, she sang every song that was on Kyle's playlist, that made him impressed and fascinated by her.

How'd you know these songs, I change my playlist every month. he asked her intrigued.

excuse you, your not the only one with a phone, I listen to music too Kyle, she answered and continued singing the lyrics to TRY ME.

Kyle looked at her as she sang,

I could never understand you destiny, he said under his breath.

what was that? she yelled.

Nothing,

Kyle parked at an open space at the very end of the yard, for some reason every one drove a car today, he grumbled.

Hey, we didn't come on time, its not your fault.

of course it isn't, he said and grabbed her hand and linked them together as they both walked towards the building, destiny had chills in her spine, and her heart was racing, Kyle linked there hands together, he had never done this before, he normally just held her hand, what does this mean? she asked herself,

deep breaths, Deeep breaths.

Are you okay, Kyle asked looking down at her.

Hmm hmm, she nod and blinked, I think the air is just musty today, she lied.

seams fine to me he shrugged.

STOP!! Kyle suddenly yelled.

what, what ? destiny yelped she was startled.

There's a bug on your lip, do you feel it he asked bending over.

Oh my gosh!! get it out!! get it out!! , she panicked.

okay calm down, hold still, I'll get it out, he assured, and she sealed her eyes shut, so tightly, terrified of bugs waiting for Kyle to save her, He bent over and grabbed her face, he was hesitant, but his lips wasn't, he placed his lips on her hers kissing her fiercely, her eyes opened fast, she looked at him, his eyes closed as he yearned for her, she slowly closed them, and kissed him back, her legs slowly elevating has she stood on her tippy toes now, her hand clinched to his jacket, has tightly has his hands were to her face, He wanted to kiss her again, the wait was killing him, destiny could feel the intensity oozing from him.

He stopped, then smiled, without saying anything, he linked their hands again and they continued.

Has they entered the school doors, Kyle let go of her hand, she paused and looked at her empty hand, and before she could lift her gaze, he was already walking off,

Kyle? Destiny called out, but he didn't answer, he didn't turn around, he just kept on walking.
