CHAPTER 39
CHLOE'S POV
I was all alone and I felt the urge to call Keith, just so he could tease me but I decided against it.
I just binge watched some of my favorite shows till I fell asleep.
WEDNESDAY
I woke up feeling wobbly, I couldn't walk properly, but I managed to get upstairs to my room. I showered and wore a full white bodycon dress and white slippers cos it seemed to brighten up my mood.
I let my hair down and did my usual light make-up before grabbing my backpack and heading downstairs. I didn't even bother with breakfast cos I lost my appetite so I just went outside and thankfully enough, Keith just stepped out of his car.
"Good morning", I greeted with a warm smile.
"Good morning, you look radiant today", he smiled back and took my backpack from my hand.
"Again?"
"Yeah, you still look kinda stressed. Get in", he held the car door open for me to get in and I did.
He also got in and drove us to school. We didn't talk throughout the drive, we just listened to the chill music playing on his radio.
"Are you gonna escort me to the class now?", I chuckled when he got out of the car and was following me to my locker.
" I will if you want me to"
"I'm not sure I do", I joked and we both laughed.
" Well, hurry up so we can get to our first class", he said.
I got all my books I was gonna be needing and we headed for our class, which was Fashion Designing.
It's my favorite class and I wouldn't want to miss it.
Keith and I got to class, and we sat next to each other and joked about a few things before the teacher came and started the class.
============================
Lunchtime is over and I'm at my locker grabbing a few things for my next class when a strong pair of arms wrapped around my waist and someone was nuzzling my neck.
I was just about to scream when I inhaled the cologne.
"Keith, what are you doing? What did I say about boundaries?!", I whisper-yelled at him and he just chuckled.
"Before you continue yelling at me, I want you to follow me to the bathroom, like, right now", he pressed his chest against my back and I'm very sure he can feel my butt.
The thought about it made me blush...
"Why should I follow you to the bathroom?"
"It's a situation. Don't ask further questions, just come with me"
"Fine", I slammed my locker door shut and was walking to the bathroom. Keith didn't even give me space, he stuck closely behind me and when I say 'close', I mean 'dangerously close'.
We got to the bathroom and then he came in front of me.
"So....what's the problem?"
"You have a situation...code red", he tried explaining but I couldn't understand.
"Code red?", I repeated with a questioning face.
" Yeah, and your dress is messed up", and that was when I got the memo.
" What?!"
OMG
I'm sure my face even redder than the stain on my dress.
" I don't have any extra pads or tampons. You'll have to get it for me from the nurse's office"
" I can't do that"
" Why not?"
" It's gonna be weird"
" C'mon, it isn't gonna be weird. Just tell her I'm the one that sent you there and it's an emergency. She'll understand"
"Ok", he left and came back two minutes later.
"Wow, that was fast"
"I didn't need to explain much", he was about leaving when I held his hand and he stopped.
Stop it, stupid sparks!
"Wait, I don't have spare clothes and this dress is ruined"
" I have P.E clothes you could borrow"
" Thanks", I let go of him and he left to get the clothes.
I paced back and forth, thinking about what just happened.
I am happy that Keith was the one who saw the stain but a part of me wanted him to never let go of me.
I wanted to kiss him.....
I wanted him to give me hickeys....
What is this weird feeling?
"Ok, here you go", he came back and handed the clothes to me.
"Thank you"
"You're welcome. I'll wait for you outside", he left.
I went into one of the stalls and did what I had to do.
I put on the P.E clothes and damn, they has his scent.
It was a loose sweatpants and a big tee. The sweatpants weren't my size, no matter how I try to adjust the drawstring, it was too big.
I came out of the stall, and met him outside, resting on the wall.
"I'm done"
"Oh, good. Let's head to class then", he looked at me from head to toe and smiled.
"You're so small", he ruffled my hair and held my hand.
" Let's go", he pulled me and we went to the class.
============================
"Chloe, what happened to your dress?", Nolan asked.
I'm now at the basketball court waiting for Keith so we could go home.
"Something"
"Whose clothes are you wearing?"
"Mine. Got a problem with that?", Keith snapped from behind me.
"I wasn't talking to you"
"You sure?"
"Can you guys just stop? Keith take me home", I spoke.
"Ok, let's go", we left Nolan and went to the parking lot.
"What was that all about?", I asked Keith when we got into the car.
"Nothing"
"That wasn't nothing"
"He's been pissing me off lately"
"I just hope you guys don't fight again"
"I'd like that to happen"
"Why?"
"I wanna give him a black eye"
"Stop being violent"
"I'll try but I'm not making any promises", he started the engine and we zoomed off.
I noticed we weren't driving to the direction of my house.
"Where are we going?"
"Relax, I'm not gonna kidnap you or anything"
"That doesn't answer my question"
"We're going somewhere"
"Don't try anything stupid, else I won't hesitate to snap your neck"
"Is that supposed to be a threat?"
"It is"
"Okay, I won't try anything stupid"
"Good", and we dwelled in silence until Keith pulled up at a fashion mall.
"Why are we here?"
"You'll see", he and I got down from the car and went into the large building in front of us.
"Pick any dress of your choice", he said when we got to the full dress section.
"Why?"
"Because your dress got ruined by..."
"Don't say it"
"Ok, I won't. I just wanted to get you a new one and I don't know your size since you have a very big...."
"It's enough"
He was making reference to my butt??!!
"I'll take this white one, this blue one, this purple one and this black one. Oooh, and the pink too", I said walking through the aisles and picking the dresses.
" I said you should pick a dress not dresses"
" No, you said I should pick ANY dress of my choice and that's exactly what I'm doing"
" Girls", he muttered and took the dresses from me.
" Are you gonna try them on or ...?"
" Let's just leave, my stomach hurts", I said walking towards the cashier's table.
Keith handed her a Black Express card and she packed the clothes and handed them out to me.
" Have a nice day", she said as she flashed Keith a flirtatious smile.
I just rolled my eyes and went out of the place. My feet kinda hurt and I know it's because I'm on my period.
Keith followed me and we got into the car and drove home.
