French Kiss For The Nerd

chapter17

?Irish ?

I was sitting on the couch so I couldn't see the face of the person who had his hands wrapped around

my waist. I knew who it was, but how come he was here? Wasn't he angry with me? Wait.... I was even

mad at him.

He carried me up and pulled me towards himself. "Hi. " I felt his breath on my neck and I gulped. Yes, I

was still affected by him, but surprisingly it wasn't as much as when I used to really like him a lot. What

was happening? Was I liking him less? I shook my head. It can't be, I have liked him since tenth grade.

"Hi. " I whispered back and tried not making it obvious that he makes me nervous. I turned around and

slapped his face pretty hard. The sound vibrated in the room but no one really noticed because of the

loud music and for some who would care less since they were drunk. "We need to talk you buffalo! "

"I know, I know. " He rubbed his cheek to ease the pain. "Can we go outside to your porch? "

I didn't answer him, I walked outside to the porch and sat on the bench waiting for him. He better have

a good reason why he was angry with me and wouldn't talk to me for five days just because I didn't tell

him I was dating Gabe. Even if it's fake, though.

I heard the front door open and close as I was lost in thought. "Pumpkin. " He called.

"Don't call me pumpkin. " I snapped. It reminded of Gabe. Oh Gabe, that hot piece of meat.

"But you like it. "

"Not anymore. "

I heard Jace snort. "But Gabe can call you that, right? "novelbin

I gave him a deadpan look and he sighed. "Yes, he is my boyfriend, after all you are just my best friend.

" I spat. I saw his fist clench and his jaw tensed.

"Yeah, right. Look, Irish I am sorry. I know it was wrong for me to have acted that way but... I couldn't

hold it when I learnt that he was dating you."

"And why is that? "I raised a brow at him. I was hoping he will say he likes me and he was jealous.

"Because I... I.. " He looked like he was battling on telling me something or not. "I... I.. thought that he

would take my best friend away from me. You know, you would always be with him more and you will

spend less time with me." He said looking away.

I was disappointed that he didn't like me, but as he talked I knew that he wasn't saying all the complete

truth. I think he was hiding a fact for his sudden behavior but I didn't push it.

I grabbed his face and turn it to face me. "No one is taking your best friend away from you. Gabe can

be my boy friend but I will still spend time with you."

"I am sorry pumpkin. "

"It's okay. " I smiled, he smiled back and I hugged him. Wow, I missed this.

"Let's go inside. And where is my muffin? " I said standing up.

"Nate is inside. You know he brought a girl. " Jace said smiling.

"A girl? "I squealed. I was happy for him, and I was happy he has gotten over me too. I ran into the

house in search for Nate.

Gabe was now dancing with Regina, I felt my blood boil. You are his fake girlfriend. I know!!! But I don't

know why it still hurts.

I saw the the others still dancing. Iz was dancing with Hailey now. You know, he has a crush on her but

no one knows except me. Not even Ivy.

I saw a familiar silhouette of someone talking to a girl. Nate. I made my way towards them and tapped

Nate on the shoulder. He turned around and I jumped on him. "Nate!! I missed you! " I kissed him all

around his face except his lips, that would be awkward if I did.

"It was just five days, Iri. " He said as I got down from him. I hit his arm. "Aw. Okay, I missed you too.

Happy? " He smiled.

"Very. " Then I remembered that a girl was here too. I turned to look at her and smiled. She was just

like my height, but red hair and brown eyes. "Hi. I am Irish and I am Nate's best buddy. He is my muffin.

" I nudged him on the shoulder.

"Oh hi." She said shyly. I like her already. "I am Ashley, um, I just moved here recently and Nate and I

became friends. " She shrugged looking at Nate. But the way she was looking at him, I could see

admiration or was it love?

"I like her already. " I whispered to Nate, I am sure Ashley heard me though. "Hey Ashley, I need to

speak to your boyfriend for a minute. " I held Nate's arm.

"We are not dating! " They protested in unison. I smiled.

"Yet. " I smiled and dragged Nate away after winking at Ashley. "So, tell me when you will ask her out. "

I said after dragging him to a corner.

"What? Her? Ashley? I don't like her in that way. " He denied looking everywhere else but me.

"Keep telling yourself that. I have a cousin that his coming to live with us, I am sure Ashley will like him

since he is hot. I will introduce him to her and set up a blind date for.... "

"Don't you dare! "Nate shot daggers at me. I smiled. "Fine, I like her alright. I will ask her out on

Monday, okay? Don't you dare bring your cousin near her or I will chop off Gabe's dick."

I glared at him. "Don't you dare." I said and we both laughed. "Gotta go and dance. " I shoved him

away and began looking for Gabe.

I felt hands wrap around my waist. "Where have you been babe? "He kissed behind my ear sending

shivers down to my core. Damn, my heart was beating really fast. I didn't even feel this with Jace.

"Um.... I went to speak to Jace. He apologized. "I said smiling.

"Hmmm. " He kept a hand on my bare lap and traced his finger up and down as he kissed my neck. I

bit my lips nervously as I tried not to moan. He is really acting like we are actually dating when we are

fake dating. I wonder how it would feel if we were dating for real.

I couldn't help the moan that I let out when he grabbed my ass and squeezed it as he kept nibbling on

my neck. "Fuck Iris!" He cursed murmuring and before I knew it, he pushed me against the wall and in

nanoseconds his lips met mine possessively.
