CHAPTER 32
CHLOE'S POV
We got home really late, 9:56 and retired to our rooms. I showered and wore my mid-thigh pink satin nightgown and paced around my room. Since my small talk with Greg, Keith hasn't said a word to me.
Is he jealous?
Cos the last time, we ended up making out and he was kind of possessive when Greg wanted us to hang.
I need to fix this.
I waited till it was 11:00 before going to his room cos by then Matt and Jess were asleep.
I knocked on the door but there was no answer.
Maybe he also fell asleep?
I'll try again tomorrow
I was about leaving when a strong arm grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the room.
"I thought....", I was cut of with a hungry kiss.
I instantly wrap my arms around his neck. The kiss was actually filled with longing.
I pulled back and stared at him.
" Don't go out with Greg, please?", he spoke first.
" Why?"
" I can't stand seeing you with another guy"
" So you're jealous?"
" No, I'm being protective over what's mine"
" And what's yours?"
I know he's talking about me but I wanna hear it from him.
" Not what, who"
" And who's yours?"
" You are mine"
" Are you sure about that? Cos last time I checked, we aren't dating"
" I'm working on that but you are mine"
" I've heard you, Mr Possessive"
" Don't call me that", he chuckled in his deep voice.
"If you say so. I have to go to bed now, so could you please let me go ?"
" Nah, you're spending the night with me, here in this room", he carried me like a sack of potatoes and dropped me on the bed.
" How's it that even possible?"
" Darling, you have no idea what's possible", he laid down on the bed and pulled me closer. I scooted even further so our bodies were pressed together.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and sniffed my hair.
" I love your shampoo. Is it coconut and vanilla?"
" Yeah, I have a thing for vanilla"
" I can tell. You love sniffing me as well", he smirked and I huffed.
" Anyways, I love this nightgown, but I would like it better if you take it off"
" Is that supposed to be some kind of pickup line?", my cheeks reddened.
" I'm serious though, it looks really good on you"
" Thanks", I laid my head on his chest and he kissed my forehead.
" You feeling sleepy?"
" Yeah", my eyelids were already heavy.
" Good night peanut", Keith cooed and placed his lips on mine, giving me a quick kiss.
I just smiled and slept off.
============================
FRIDAY
I woke up to peppered kisses all over my face and neck.
"Good morning, Kay"
"Morning, peanut. Did you sleep well?"
"I would have, if you stopped bothering me with kisses"
"I couldn't hold myself", he chuckled and gave me a quick kiss.
"I need to go"
"Nooooo", he groaned, tightening his hold around my waist.
"Don't be a whiney baby"
"But I am your whiney baby"
"Jess can't find me here, okay? But I promise we'll spend time together, yeah?"
"Fine", he let go and I left to my room, well, not without glancing around the halls to see if Matt or Jess were awake.
I showered and wore a blue asymmetric spaghetti strap crisscross back dress and made my hair in a messy bun.
I head downstairs to make breakfast and saw Keith in the kitchen, already cooking.
I moved as silently as I could and hugged him from behind. I heard him chuckle.
"What're you making?"
"Something... delicious"
"Like what?", I rolled my eyes at him.
"Scrambled eggs, toast and coffee"
"Can I help?", I let go of him and went to the coffeemaker.
"Sure, but I've got this covered"
"I'll help anyways", I added the coffee grounds in the coffeemaker and turned around to look at Keith.
He was wearing a black tee that clung unto his body like a second skin and shorts.
He looked really hot with his hair disheveled.
"Stop staring, peanut"
Caught in the act
"I wasn't staring", my cheeks flushed.
Jesus, can't I go a day without blushing??!!
"If you say so"
"Just continue with what you were doing"
"So you could go back to staring?"
"I think helping you turned out to be a really bad idea"
" I told you I got this covered but, you didn't listen"
" Just finish up so we can have breakfast", I grabbed 4 cups from the cupboard.
Soon after, we sat the table and began eating. Keith intentionally sat next to me, so he could piss me off. He kept stealing my eggs and tapping my shoulder without a reason.
Matt and Jess joined us a few minutes later and we all chatted about how fun the week has been.
" We should do this again", Matt said, wiping fake tears of his eyes.
" I'm gonna miss you guys", he added.
" You're so dramatic and yes, we'll do this again", I replied.
" Definitely", Keith said.
" Kay, please, pass me the sugar", I said to Keith and Jess gasped and choked on her coffee.
"What's wrong?", Matt asked, patting her back lightly.
"It's too hot and I swallowed too fast", she replied looking at me weirdly.
I'm in some deep shit.
============================
"So, you call him Kay now, huh?", Jess teased.
We were on Matt's mini soccer pitch but the guys were the ones playing. We just sat and cheered them on.
"Are you two dating now?", she asked.
"No, and I call him Kay as a nickname"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
"Ok"
"Have started planning your wedding yet?", I swiftly changed the topic.
"Yes and no"
"Explain"
"Yes because we're still thinking of a date and no because we want it to be after you graduate", she said and I gave her the are-you-kidding-me look.
" I don't have to graduate before have your wedding. Just pick a date and there's no way I won't be there"
" Okay, I'll speak to the wedding planner and Matt"
" Good, I don't want your honeymoon to be delayed", I teased and she blushed, hard.
" Well, I am also waiting for you to start dating Keith"
" Are you sure that's gonna happen?"
" Why'd you say that?"
" Nevermind", I brushed it off.
============================
SATURDAY
" I can't believe you guys are leaving already", Matt whined.
" We agreed to come again, didn't we?", I groaned.
Why should a guy be this childish?
We got into the car and he started driving.
I picked up my phone and saw a lot of texts from Nolan.
What does he want now?
Nolan - Hey
Nolan - You haven't been in school.
Nolan - Are you ok?
Nolan - Do you want me to come over?
Nolan - Why aren't you replying?
Nolan - Are you at home?
Nolan - I've been knocking
Nolan - Respond
And so many more....
I just texted
Me - I'm fine and I wasn't at home. I'll call when I can.
I feel like I gave too much information because we aren't dating anymore.
"Who was that?", Keith whispered.
"Nolan", I whispered back.
"What does he want?"
"Just wanted to make sure I'm okay"
" Ok"
" What are you guys whispering about?", Jess asked, looking at me from the rearview mirror.
" Nothing", we chorused and she rolled her eyes at me.
I'm doomed....
============================
We got home and came down from the car.
" So, I'll see you later?", Keith asked and I nodded. He then left to his house.
I was carrying my bag into the house when I noticed Jess wasn't following me.
" Aren't you coming in?", I asked.
" No, Matt and I have a meeting with the wedding planner so I won't be back for another 3 days"
" Oh. Well, have fun", I waved at them and went into the house.
