CHAPTER THREE
NATHANS POV
I searched everywhere for Kylie but still couldn't find her. She wasn't in any of the class rooms or the cafeteria or the stairs and I felt worried.
It was until I checked the library that I saw her but She wasn't alone either and the sight before me made me feel a pang of hurt in my chest. She was with Derek and was flushed tight against him in a hug. I thought before now she never associated with anyone.
I mean it Is good she does but seeing how comfortable she is around him to even let down her hoodie made me feel somehow. She never talked to me , never showed her face to me willingly but here she was hugging someone else even when we are both mates.
Yes we are mates and I don't know if she's realised it or if she's just shying away from it or perhaps she hates me.
I stood in the same spot as I watched her lay her head on his shoulder but, as though sensing me , she looked up and quickly released from the hug. This was quite wierd and I tried looking everywhere else but them .
Derek turned and saw me before turning to her again.
"I'll see you later" He said before excusing the both of us. I wonder if they're just friends or something more . I shouldn't be thinking of this but I just cant help it with the way I feel and especially when his scent is all over her now. It should be mine on her .
"Hey," I said when I got closer to her and she instinctively pulled over her hoodie to her face. Great, she feels free to show him her face but when it's me , she hides it.
"I wanted to apologise about earlier on. I didn't mean for things to go that way, I'm sorry." I continued looking at her . Her lips in particular since she covered her eyes and nose now. She seemed unsettled like she was afraid of me and I hated it. Why does she always do this. I'm really just hanging on to the little bit patience I have left that is stopping me from closing in on her and doing some lustful things. I mean I could do that if I wanted to be possessive but I cared about her opinion. She wasn't making it easier though with the way she makes me feel like she hates me but I needed to make her know we were mates . I couldn't be the only one feeling it too . I bet she is but won't accept it.
"It's fine. I'm okay." She replied and before I knew it, she started walking out. Honestly, I think I might just loose that patience today.
"Kylie" I called and went after her. She isn't going to escape me today.
KYLIE'S POV
"Why the hell are you always running away from me." I heard him say from behind me and I came to a halt, my grip tightening on my notebook.
It was just the both of us in the hallway but I was already so tensed and my heartbeat faster now.
Soon I heard his footsteps approaching and although I didn't turn around, I knew he was just mere inches away from me.
'Now would be a good time to run.' I thought before pulling my hoodie further down my face.
"What do you mean? I'm just in a rush to go somewhere." I lied . Well not entirely since I'm still in a rush to leave his presence because of how nervous I feel.
"But you weren't in a rush while he was hugging you." He said and turned me around forcefully towards him before pinning me to the wall. His hands stayed beside me and caging me then his knee pressed tightly on my hips. He towered over me and had to lean down till we were mere inches apart.
I couldn't move as his body was pressed tightly against mine and the feel of his breath on my neck, sending chill to my body. Why was he doing this?
"I need to leave." I said and tried pushing him away from me but he was stronger.
"No you won't until you tell me why you always run away from me."
"and by the way remove this thing" He continued and use one hand to pull away my hoodie against my will.
"Now look at me Kylie" I couldn't and so I stared downwards . He pressed his body more on me as though he knew of the effect he was causing on me.
"Please let me go." I begged .
"Why are you even doing this?" I asked.
"You know, I've really been trying hard to keep up with you having the hope that you'll come around and stop behaving like you hate me. Yes I do feel like you hate me and its painful because I feel the other way about you and you're my fu-ck-ing mate Kylie."
I could sense a bit of pain in his words and I finally looked up at him. His eyes were blurry like he'd just let out something he's been holding for quite long and I was shocked. It couldn't be true. Well I do know that I have feelings for him but everyone knows Mitchell is suppose to be his mate.
"And before you even ask, Mitchell isn't my mate. I don't love her but I ..I ... you know what there isn't any need saying it when you probably hate me."
He let go of me and before I could even comprehend anything, he was gone, leaving me confused like never before. He just said we were mates and thinks I hate him. I don't know what to do or think about it though. It could be true that were mates judging from the fact that I was drawn strongly to him and that was why I avoided him but I also knew that it won't work out. I wasn't his type and was way below his standards.
CHAPTER FOURNATHANS POVI felt moody all day because of the conversation I had with Kylie. Honestly, I don't think it was any use trying to win her over. She clearly didn't like me and won't even consider what I said . It hurts knowing I might end up having a one sided love.I couldn't even say I'll try to get over her because I cant and that made it so much worse. I was frustrated beyond measures right now as I laid back in my bed. It was night already and I wanted to be alone. Away from everyone and away from Mitchell. My dad had called me earlier on to join for dinner but I didn't want that. Mitchell was going to be there too and I knew my parents would surely talk about how far we've gone since they considered us mates. It should be Kylie at the table with me but I didn't know how I was going to tell everyone that Mitchell wasn't my mate especially when Kylie isn't going to stand be
CHAPTER FIVEKYLIES POV I was already seated at the biology lab waiting for the teacher to arrive then Nathan stepped in. I almost forgot he was taking the same class with me today. His eyes met mine immediately and I felt nervous as he walked towards me.He looked really handsome in his black outfit. I mean he is always handsome and hot but today, he looked hotter. I guess black was his signature colour.He moved pass me and took a sit behind me and that was when I noticed he looked moody. He didn't say anything to me, not even a 'hi' and I felt awkward. Maybe I should talk to him first but what if he doesn't reply me?Just yesterday he sounded really possessive of me and now today, he's acting like I don't exist and I feel wierd about it because I want him to talk to me.The teacher came in a while later and also did Derek
CHAPTER SIX KYLIE'S POV I dared not do anything with my lips again while being held by Nathan. I didn't even speak nor did I look at him in the eye because it would easily give away the amount of effect he had on me, the amount of butterflies I felt in my stomach right now because of our close proximity and how much I wanted to see if he'll do what he just said . He soon seem to let go of me in a rather ockward manner and left me with the ghost of the feel of his touch. I kind of felt a bit disappointed though but was also relieved about it. He got back to planting the seeds , looking really graceful , handsome and sexy with the way he stood . There was silence for that moment and after he was done , he handed the vase over to me.
CHAPTER SEVEN NATHANS POV Everything's changed, especially between Mitchell and I. I usually held on to the thought before that maybe one day I'll grow to love her since everyone saw us as the perfect match but I don't think I can do that anymore. Not when I've fallen so irrevocably in love with someone else. I could never give Mitchell the love she wanted and I wanted so much to tell her about it now . Tell her that I wasn't the one for her but I couldn't bring myself to do that either. She might be grumpy to others but I knew she always tried to please me and she liked me too . I would feel bad breaking her heart but I would also be selfish too if I didn't do it either because it would mean I was leading her on and letting her hope that someday I'll be in love with her and make her my mate. I would also still be selfish to Kylie . I knew one of the main reasons Kylie was afraid of getti
CHAPTER EIGHT KYLIE'S POV For the first few seconds, it felt unreal that he was kissing me. I just couldn't believe it but when his hands pulled me tighter against him and his lips moved over mine in a gentle, yet demanding manner, I found myself sticking up to the realisation . It was nothing like I had ever felt before , and I was a bit uncertain on what to do. A bit uncertain when I felt his hot breath against my skin and when his lips became firmer and bolder against mine and seeking to deepen the kiss. He bit down on my lower lip , followed by a slid of his tongue which slowly sucked on it, driving me insane. He moved his hands away from my waist to my hips , fingers digging in and pressing me tightly against him so that we weren't even an inch apart. I opened my mouth beneath his an
CHAPTER NINEKYLIE'S POV The next one week , I realised that Nathan meant what he said about staying away from me because he did just that. He avoided me like I was a ghost and even the time I tried talking to him concerning the plant we were both growing, he said that he didn't want to partake in it any longer and that hurt me so much . He was ready to get an F in the practical if it meant staying away from me. I ended up doing the whole thing on my own and also prepared his answers too along side mine. I wasn't going to let him fail because of our misunderstanding. I gave him the next day and hoped he would collect it , but what he did surprised me, he threw the paper away just to make sure, I didn't submit it on his behalf then after that he excused himself from the class. It took alot in me not to tear up at that instant. He was obviously goin
CHAPTER TENNATHANS POV I gathered everyone in a room to address what had happen earlier on. It was very careless especially on Lisa's part and I made sure to state that archery would no longer be practised in school. It could have been way more worse if Kylie had been shot somewhere close to her heart. It could have been deadly in fact but I'm very glad that didn't happen. " I want all the poisoned arrows to be kept away and not be used unless if a need arises . There would also be no archery in school as from today onwards. You all need to be careful especially with things like this. "" And also, Do well to apologize to Kylie when she wakes up." I said turning to Lisa who gave a nod in agreement. I left afterwards and ordered one of my mother's maid to stay with Kylie through the night. I couldn't stay with her righ
CHAPTER ELEVENKYLIE'S POV I couldn't take my eyes off him as he laid the tray of food down beside me and I realised one thing, I had caused all of our problems and now I dont think I'd be able to fix things the way he wanted me to . He wanted me to accept my love for him openly and that I couldn't do . That I wasn't brave enough to do. I worried my bottom lip as I studied his features . His jaw line and how perfectly shaped it was, his pointed nose , dark eyes and full lips which seem to remind me now of how he had kissed me that day , so breathlessly. I'd be lying if I say I'll be able to bear this Malice or bad energy between us any longer . I couldn't. I couldn't let him be angry at me but what am I supposed to do about it. He doesn't seem to want to clear it out and he's making it harder for me with our close proximity now. Some tendrils of his hair had tum
