Scarlett and the Fake Boyfriend - Chapter 11 – Tell Him You Want To Blow Him
Friday
I yawned and started to stretch. But there was something holding me down. No, not something. Someone.There’s a zombie on me!
My eyes flew open but I’d fallen asleep in my contacts and I was pretty sure one of them was stuck to my eyelid. I could barely see anything. But I knew I was about to be eaten.
I threw my elbow back hard and it collided with the zombie.
The zombie groaned.
I reached out to try to find some kind of weapon in the zombie’s den. My hand collided with a book. I turned around and threw it at the zombie’s chest.
The zombie cursed under his breath and caught my arms so I couldn’t throw anything else at him.
“Die zombie!” I tried to knee him, but he moved on top of me, caging me in against the floor.
“Scarlett, it’s just me.”
I knew that voice.Wait.I blinked, trying to make my contact go back in place. “Axel?”
“Yeah, it’s just me.” Axel let go of my arms and put his hands on the sides of my face. “It’s just me. You’re safe.”
His face finally came into focus.
“Where are we?” I asked.
“You’re in your new room.”
Right.I wasn’t in a zombie den. I was in my new room. On my bed. With him.That stupid scary movie!“I’m so sorry I hit you,” I said. “I didn’t know where I was...I...”
“It’s okay. Take a deep breath.”
I followed his instructions and inhaled slowly.
“It was just a bad dream,” he said.
I nodded and slowly exhaled.
“Did I hurt you?” Axel asked. “You’re wincing.”
“My contacts are just super dry I think.”
“You’re sure I didn’t hurt you?”
I nodded. I’d finally calmed down. But my heart was racing for a whole different reason now. Axel was on top of me. In my bed. Staring down at me like I was the only thing that mattered in the entire world.
“I hate scary movies,” I said.
“I know. But you’re okay.” He stared down at me.
Any second, he’d climb off of me. And the moment would be over. All I wanted to do was reach up and sink my fingers into his hair. I wanted to pull his lips down to mine. And figure out if he was my kiss thief.
Axel’s eyes bounced back and forth between mine. Like he was trying to read my thoughts.
Maybe now was the moment. To tell him how I really felt. To tell him I was okay with his stupid deal about me not dating anyone on his team. As long as I could date him.
“You stayed all night,” I said.
