"Does that mean more rides on your motorbike?" I asked with a hopeful smile.
He nodded with a small chuckle.
I ran through to my room to get changed for school. I ran away from the tensity that came with our eyes locking.
I told myself that the near kiss in the kitchen was a moment of madness. I planned to never mention or think about it again.
Chapter Sixteen
Chapter Sixteen
I was thinking about the near kiss experience.
Stone drove me to school. It caused a ripple of whispers among the gossiping students when I turned up with him on the motorbike.
When I had to wrap my arms around him on the way there, it brought up flashbacks of that morning. I was just glad that he had to face the road so he could not see my tomato-coloured cheeks.
As soon as he parked at the school lot, I made an excuse about how I was in a hurry to get to class and dashed away.
It was hard to admit but I, Ella Miller for the first time in my life was lost for words.
I was too flushed to even offer him a semi-decent insult.
Nobody asked to my face why I had come to school with Stone. The only questions people asked during the day was where my green hair had gone. I answered them all the same and said that I was planning to dye it back.
I left out the part that I was planning to the night before but I got a little distracted climbing on top of a giant and falling asleep there.
The period before lunch rolled around and I was dreading it. I had managed to avoid speaking to Stone all day. I doubted I would manage to ignore his existence when he sat so close behind me.
Mr Dankworth was writing on the board when I took my seat next to Lana. She offered me a smile before turning back around to listen to the two guys conversation.
"Where were you last night?" Brennan asked the large male next to him "Did you fall asleep at the garage?"
The only person that was not watching him was me. I looked to the front and pretended like I was not interested in the conversation.
Stone did not reply. He did not even grumble or grunt.
His silence was deafening. It seemed like he was in some sort of rage. He usually gnarled when he was unhappy about something, but the atmosphere of the classroom gave away that what he was feeling was stronger than that.
"You have on the same clothes as yesterday." Brennan pointed out "You couldn't have been at work because you would have had spare clothes there."
I kept looking ahead and avoided the dark unfaltering stare.
"He wears the same thing every day." I spoke up "There is only so much black clothes a man can get."
