Bad Boy Isn’t My Type

My whole body froze when his eyes bore into me, but my heart was flapping like a gold fish that jumped out of the fish bowl and fell on the floor.

I turned around feeling all shy. “I … I …… Sorry, I should have knocked. I just wanted to give you……”

” Give what?” His question sounded strangely intimate, his husky voice giving the chills.

” Ca…… cak… cake…… I… I wanted to thank you for everything.” I said still back facing him.

I sensed him coming near to me, his strong presence getting overbearing as I found him leaning further towards me so close that I could feel his cool breath on my nape.

He snaked his hand around, not touching me to be frank and took the cake box from me. ” Thanks…” he whispered into my ear.

A strong blush coloured my cheeks, my skin tingling at his closeness. My cheeks burned, and I swallowed hard, my skin prickling all over my body.

” I’ll…… I’ll go then……” I shrieked and almost ran but I felt a grip on my wrist making me flinch in fear and I looked at him.

His piercing gaze held me captivated, wiping away all my coherent thoughts as we looked at each other.

” Don’t you want to know my review on cake you made from me?”

” Not really……” I lied. I wanted to know if he liked the cake or not, as stupid it was.

He eliminated the distance between us still holding my wrist, and my heart went overdrive, smitten by his cologne.

” You are not a good liar. I think you’re dying to know if I liked it or not.” A strong blush coloured my cheeks, and I glanced away, my skin tingling at his closeness.

I rolled over my bed with the teddy, smiling madly, feeling all too shy. He liked it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

***”Thanks…… This is the best cake I have ever tasted so far. If you ever become a baker in future I will buy the whole shop for sure.”****

I squealed happy, by his words. Over these past few days, the silly flame of my crush turned into a blazing fire, and the more that hated seemed like something from another life.

These words branded themselves into my mind to be repeated ceaselessly. I rolled over and over my bed, my cheeks burning.

I couldn’t concentrate to any classes lately and I didn’t know why. I went towards the terrace of the department for fresh air. I was enjoying fresh air hitting my skin then suddenly I felt somebody turn me around with a much force. I yelped and looked up who it was.

” Hayden!”

” I am sorry Jennie! Please forgive me!” Hayden cried holding me tightly against his chest.

” Don’t touch me!!” I pushed him aggressively. ” Didn’t I tell you not to talk to me? What do you want now?”

” Jennie please! I didn’t mean to say those things…… I just blurted out of jealousy… I didn’t intend to hurt you!”

” Jealousy?”

” Im sorry I get jealous and overreact. I’m just trying to protect you. I couldn’t stay away from you how much ever I tried to. ”

” What… what do you mean……” I stepped back but he kept eliminating the gap between us.

” I was so afraid Jennie…… I couldn’t even sleep when you said you were in house. I was so scared what he might do to you. It was like there is a much more bigger chance of me losing you than you losing me.”” Hayden said rendering me speechless.

” He has done so many despicable things to you and I can’t keep calm seeing all that, he has destroyed her already he won’t even hesitate to destroy you too. I just wanted to protect you.” Hayden took another step as I took a step back.

” I never meant to hurt you Jennie. Sometimes you want to protect someone who doesn’t care about you, while… there’s another person, quietly protecting you.”

He felt every emotion much more intensely than I would ever able to, and I could only imagine how devastated he’d been after I kept rejecting his calls.

He pulled me by my arm, softly pulling me deadly close to him, my heartbeat went into overdrive.

” I want to become your shadow, if you want to cry I will be your shoulder. I love you Jennie”

Whaaaahhht!!!!!!

I stared at him wide eyed, attempting to comprehend his words, did he just confess to me?

A strong shiver rocked my body as I looked at Hayden, and my heart contracted at the fiery look in his eyes as he devoured me with one single gaze.

” I love you Jennie, I can’t live without you, I just want to step out of my shell and protect what is mine, I don’t care about anyone, how much ever they are powerful. They can’t mess with what belongs to me.”

No guy had ever been attracted to me, not in high school, basically I was a nerd who knew nothing to study and do part time works in my free days. There was nothing outstandingly wrong with me, just nothing attractive either.

Why would someone like Hayden confess to quite boring and plain like me. He was the next Vincent of the university. Later he would be the one ruling the university after Vincent pass out.

He ran his thumb over my lips. My heartbeat began to quicken as I looked upto his stormy eyes, my chest rising and falling rapidly with deep breaths. I should move away right now. Any moment now.

His breath on my lips tickled me, and my pulse quickened. He’s too close to me.

” Wh…… what are you…… doing?”I said as he inched his face deadly close to me. His eyes trained on my lip even more intense than usual, making me shiver.

” I love you Jennie”

No, this is not right, but I froze in his eyes filled with so strong devotion towards me, rendering me speechless. He angled his head, just to kiss me, I closed my eyes instantly in chaos, I should push him.

Suddenly we heard a sound I froze, unable to calm down my erratic breathing, as the feelings of new found misery, confusion, and dejection veiled my being. I pushed Hayden and stumbled little.

Vincent looked at me with a shocked expression like he was not expecting that from me.

Hayden followed my eyes in confusion and then faced in Vincent direction. Hayden didn’t even flinch or run away, each guy glared at one other silently sizing each other up. There was deadly aura coming from each other rattling me to the core in fear.

Vincent had shut himself off. He returned into that old shell that made me feel like we were so far away from each other.

He looked so mad-so lost in his fury and darkness-his facial features twisted into remorseless violence.

It seemed like he was still trying to resist something, holding back, but then resignation settled into his features, and he took the last step, separating us, kicking the box violently.

” Vincent!!!” I ran after him, trying to follow him.

” Vincent please stop!” I tried to hold his arm but he slacked me off.

” Step back before I kill you b*tch!” He flexed his jaw in anger.

I stared at him in disbelief, trying my best not to provoke him bit it was getting me. ” So we’re back to insults?”

Vincent snorted degradingly ” We never stopped, sweetheart.” He said in taunting voice. ” Why don’t you go resume f***ing your so called Hayden!”

His words sliced through my heart, breaking it to many pieces. I willed myself to return his burning stare and withstand the pain that was crushing me inside, a deep voice claiming this was all wrong.

I couldn’t stand the way he looked at me, like I’d destroyed everything in him. ” Vincent, there’s nothing between him and me. What you saw was a misunderstanding!”

” I don’t give a f*** what you do wh*re! Just leave before I kill you. It’s my f***ing patience which is keeping you alive till now.”

I can’t believe this!

” Why are you fuming up when you don’t care what I do? Why are you insulting me when you don’t give a f*** about me?”

He loomed over me, but instead of hitting me like I feared, he pulled me up by my collar of my shirt and pressed me against the wall, fuming with rage.

” You tell me, why do you want to know why is it affecting me? You can leave me to die least bothered not caring about what this f***ing bastard feel. Why is it bothering you ha?”

I was feeling too weak and confused to deal with the emotional turmoil he was putting through.

I had to admit it to myself. I’d started liking him, but now I was hurting him because I couldn’t deal with my feelings. I pushed him and glared at him.

” Vincent you are unnecessarily preaching imagining things. I don’t understand why are acting like this, as far as I remember you don’t own me. You have no right to be angry on me Vincent!”

What the hell was I saying? Venom was pouring out of me in spades, outweighing reason.

Vincent was shaking so much now, his grip loosened but he didn’t leave me completely. There was something so dark in his eyes, a glimpse of hunting pain.

” You have no right to be angry for whatever I do! It doesn’t mean you overrule me just because we shared some tender moments.”

Please somebody stop me!!!

” I was just grateful that you saved me that’s it, otherwise you are not even this inch of forgiveness for bullying me.”

Vincent grabbed me and pushed me against the wall. Terror enveloped me and pressed his forearm into my throat, making me unable to breathe properly.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

” I think you like playing games with me” he increased the pressure. ” I was trying to be a better person and walk away, but you can’t resist. You just can’t stop messing it don’t you?”
