"I didn't flirt with her..."
"Oh really? Her touching all over you doesn't count as flirting?"
"She didn't..."
"She did, and you let her," I cut him short and came closer to him as I talked, wanting to smell him at least. Even if I was angry with him, I wanted to inhale some of him."You let her play with your hair, I told you I don't like it when she does that and you said I won't have to worry about that, didn't you?"
"I'm sorry," I heard him say in a low voice. He sighed after."I just couldn't deal with you kissing Nate."
"I didn't KISS him, that was just a...that was just a peck on the li..."
"Uh huh? Just a peck on the lips, you're gonna be okay with me giving April a peck on the lips?"
"Don't fucking say her name," I got mad that he was involving her in what we were arguing about.
"Okay, let's leave her out of this. Are you gonna be okay if I peck any girl on the lips?"
"No, I won't," I replied honestly.
"You see?" He made his point.
"I knew you were mad about it, but I didn't expect you'd ignore my text."
"I didn't want to. I just didn't want to reply you with a lie about no being mad."
"So you're mad at me?" I lifted my eyes to meet him as I asked, and I caught his brown eyes dilate as they stared into mine.
"I don't know," he looked away."I'm just pissed, at everyone, at myself..." he trailed with a sigh.
"Sorry, I kissed Nate. I just did it for the game, it'll never happen again I promise." I got closer to him and went on my toes to kiss him on the cheek.
He caught my lips before I could move away from him, giving me few light kisses and having me giggling. I sounded my arms around him to hug him and he hugged back.
"We should be heading back to class," he talked in my ear.
"Shit. That's true."
"You should go back first." He suggested but I began to shake my head.
"No, you first, you left before me." He nodded and kissed me once more before walking in front of me. If only I could explain to myself why I was smiling like a fool while watching him walk back to class.
Like a minute later, I walked into our class and saw that Uche was just taking his seat. The teacher must have asked about the book he went to get.
I returned to my seat and looked towards Uche's seat but met Kim's eyes so I looked at the board. When I looked over there again, they were whispering to each other.
"Are you fucking Uche?" Casey's question made me widen my eyes at her, surprised at why she'd ask that.
"What?" I whispered back a question,"Why would you even ask me that?"
"I don't know, seems like you two left the class pretty calculatively to go fuck at the restroom or something."
"O my god, is that what it seems like?" Fuck. I can't imagine it if others were thinking the same thing as Casey.
"Very much. But don't worry, nobody will say anything, it's Uche."
"I'm not fucking him." I swallowed. I actually wasn't, but I planned to though, oh if Uche knew how much I wanted to fuck him. It started off as some crazy thought, but it's gotten pretty wild lately. My body just gets so tense when I think of him and the things I want him to do to me but will NEVER say.
****
The bell rang later for a change of period. The class was divided; some of us were asked to go to the school farm, while some headed for the lab.
Uche was going to the farm, I wasn't. It wouldn't have hurt to play with dirt but whatever. Casey was happy she was headed to the farm along with Nick and Uche and the rest.
I went to my locker to keep the books from the last class and saw a bouquet of flowers lying in front of my locker. I smiled on seeing it because I assumed they were from Uche but the card attached to it read a different name.
Fuck. It was from Nate, shoot me in the head. I hissed and took the flower with me after keeping my books, then I threw it into the nearest bin I could find.
Who even told him I liked flowers? I don't hate flowers but I don't love them either. Flowers couldn't possibly make me like someone so getting me flowers was useless of him.
"Babe," I heard Uche and turned around.
"O my god, don't call me that here," I complained.
"No one's around, don't worry." He smiled and came closer."And I'll call you what I want. Come," he pulled me In and tucked something in my hair.
"What was that?" I touched my hair to check and felt something soft. Petals. Was that a flower?
"I saw it in the garden in the school farm, I thought it would look pretty on your hair so I brought it." He said and tucked it back in after I touched it."Hold on, I'll show you." He searched his pockets for his phone and took it out. I thought he would hold it in front of me so i could see myself but he took a picture instead.
"Don't move," he said while taking the picture but I laughed. He still took the picture.
Showing it to me made me realize It did add some charm to my hair. Or do I feel it did because it was from Uche? I smiled at him and wanted to kiss him but someone came from around the corner so I did like I was taking something out of his hair.
When the person was far off, Uche let out hearty laugh.
"Stop that," I joined him in laughing.
"You shouldn't have to hide to kiss me, you know." He got serious.
"I should be headed to the lab," I kissed him on the chicks before I left, I didn't want to talk about my wanting us to keep our relationship secret. Not today.
