fantasty kiss, raj say hello [bill gates best books .TXT] 📗

so childlike.
I took the bag and went to the bathroom.
“I don’t know why you’re so set on this.” I yelled through the door. “I’ve had my period this month.”
“Yes, but I know just like you do that you can still have a…visit even if you’re pregnant.”
I smiled as I peed on the small white stick. He was such a guy. How hard was it to say period.
“Whatever.” That’s all I could come up with as I sat the stick down and waited the time it took to process.
It was the longest three minutes of my life. Numerous things began to run through my mind. What if I was pregnant? It had to be Devin’s, I hadn’t had sex with Jack in months. But how would we raise it? How would I tell my father? Did I want to keep it? Devin sure as hell did but could I go through childbirth?
And for a moment, I actually pictured myself pregnant. Holding a miniature Devin in my arms. Of course it was a boy, though I’d never really thought of having a kid I knew it was meant to be a boy. For that one second I saw my future and it seemed fantastic. I wanted it.
Then the timer went off and it was moment of truth time. I held my breath as I took the stick of the counter, careful not to touch the part I’d peed on. There was a moment before I looked at it but when I did, I sighed.
Negative.
I wasn’t pregnant.
“Well?” He asked through the door.
I closed my eyes and let my head fall. I felt the moisture run down my cheeks before I could control it and I quickly wiped them away. There was no point in crying over something that didn’t want in the first place.
“See,” I said opening the door and showing him the stick. “I told you. Negative. Nothing to worry about.”
I could tell he wasn’t happy with the news but it was better this way.
“Well, I wouldn’t say I was worried. I was actually looking forward to…you know.”
I shrugged. “Well now you don’t.”
“Why are you being so blunt about this?”
“It’s just not a big deal to me, okay?”
“So…being pregnant isn’t a big deal to you?”
“No.” I shook my head. “Not being pregnant isn’t a big deal to me.”
I tossed the stick in the trash and, after washing my hands, went back to my waffles.
“Okay, so you’re not pregnant. That still doesn’t explain your symptoms.”
“And what exactly are my symptoms, Dr. Phil?” I asked eyeing him.
He sat in front of me. “Well, the nausea, the fainting, mood swings…”
“So I’m coming off a bad period. Just because I don’t bleed doesn’t mean I don’t have the usually symptoms.”
“But you did…Rebecca told me how you had had an accident last week. How do you explain that?”
“When the hell did you talk to Rebecca?”
“Oh, we…I, um, I still work with her on little art projects. But that’s not the point. What about the weight gain?”
“Excuse me?”
“I-I mean, not that it doesn’t look good on you I just-”
“Choose your next words wisely, Devin Simmons. I’m bloated. That’s all.”
“Sorry, I didn’t mean-”
“Just drop it, okay?”
He nodded and let the conversation drop. But I couldn’t help but think about us living here, in this house with little us running around.

Chapter Thirty-Six
Halloween was just around the corner and I couldn’t contain my excitement. One because it was one of my favorite holiday other than Christmas and Comic Con and it had been about three days since Devin and my weekend getaway and we hadn’t gotten into an argument since that Saturday. I wouldn’t go as far to say it was blissful because it really wasn’t as fantastic as it sounded. While we hadn’t gotten into anything really heated I knew it was only because I hadn’t actually gotten to spend any time with him since we had returned. Rebecca had him working on some projects for her company after school and between that and grading papers he didn’t have any free time. But he had given me two tiny pictures to put in my locket a couple of days ago. He’d given me the one I asked for and then he’d given me one that I hadn’t known he’d taken. It was me at the dock at the lake house. I was wrapped in a sheet and the wind made my hair flow a bit behind me. They were perfect together. One was very dramatic with the sunrise contrasting against my light skin tone and white sheet, while the other was more romantic with my cheesy smile and his sexy one.
I think I liked that one the most because it was proof that we had been together. Proof that we were actually in love. Yes, the ring and locket did the same thing but I wasn’t really a materialistic girl. I liked when people put a lot of thought into things.
Which was why Marina and I got along so well. She enjoyed the holidays just as much as I did and maybe even more. We had already been consulting about what we wanted to be for Halloween in January. All we needed to do was go out and get them when the time was right. And when I got to second period Monday morning she had told me she had picked out my costumes already. She was going as a sexy witch and I was going as going as a sexy Fairy. But we liked to be original, so we got multiple cheaper costumes and made out own.
The school had decided it was all right if we dressed up this year since there wasn’t going to be a prom and there would even be a contest to see who was the best dressed. Basically a king and queen type deal.
The holiday was on a Monday but since the school didn’t want to start the week out with fun we were going to have the contest Friday and over the weekend we’d hopefully get all of our silliness out.
Yeah, like that was going to happen.
Devin didn’t know what I was coming dressed as and neither did Jack. I didn’t tell Jack because with the school being a buzz with the talk of everyone’s costumes, I couldn’t risk Jack saying something then Devin finding out.
So it was a surprise for the both of them.
Marina and I decided it would be best if we met at my house since my parents would be out of town this weekend. She also had the idea that we could do some of the girls makeup then go out for trick r treating.
I didn’t too much like that plan but Marina said it would only be a few girl so I really couldn’t argue.
I remember the smile she gave me as I told her it was alright.
The bell rang and snapped me out of my doodling and thoughts. I looked up into Devin’s laughing eyes, realizing I hadn’t really been paying attention to his lesson at all.
I smiled ruefully then looked down at the doodles on my paper. As I suspected, the only notes were from the first five or so minutes of the class.
“Damn,” I muttered.
“Didn’t you take notes?” Jack asked nudging me playfully.
I shook my head. “I can’t concentrate. I love Halloween.”
He smiled at me and shrugged. “It’s only Wednesday, babe. You’ve got two more days.”
“Only?” I raised an eyebrow at him.
He laughed at my excitement. “But I’ll get to see that costume you keep not telling me about.”
I looked over at Devin who didn’t seem to like our conversation but tried his best to busy himself with some paperwork.
“I’m sure you’ll like it,” I said not looking at Jack. I wasn’t really talking to him either which made Devin try to hold back a smile.
Jack leaned in close to me, making me jump a bit at his proximity. He whispered into my ear, “Whatever it is, I bet it would look better off you.”
With that said he kissed me deeply. Something he had never done.
I was a bit taken back at his abruptness and pulled back, blushing more than I, or Devin, would’ve liked. I knew after Jack left I would be getting an ear full of why he thought I should breakup with Jack.
The second bell rang then and Jack had to leave.
“I’ll see you at practice babe.” He told me as he left.
I nodded as I gather my things slowly. I waited until the last person left before I left, too. I went to the bathroom and waited a good five minutes before I went back to Devin.
There was no one on this hallway while I slipped into his room and locked the door behind me.
He sat at his desk, grading papers, and didn’t look up at my entrance.
“Hey,” I said standing by the door.
He said nothing, didn’t even look up.
“It didn’t mean anything.” I told him.
He gave a hard laugh at that comment. “The moan was nothing, too?”
I hadn’t moaned, had I? No, I didn’t think I had.
I went to stand behind him, running my fingers up his arm as I passed. I ran my hands down his chest once I was behind him only to have him stand up abruptly, pushing me back.
He walked around his desk and looked at me. His green eyes looked torn.
“That little…scene is exactly why you need to end this with him.”
“I can’t do that.” I told him. I tried to go to him again but he stopped me with a raise of the hand.
“You love him.”
I hesitated before I answered with a no and he scoffed at my lie.
“Alright, yes. I love him but not like I used to, not like I’m in love with you. I don’t understand why you’re making this into a big deal. It was just a kiss.”
“That you enjoyed.”
I couldn’t deny that. I had enjoyed it a bit. Jack had kissed me like Devin kissed me. Tongue and all. So maybe I had moaned. I couldn’t really blame Devin for being pissed.
“What do you want from me? I pulled away.”
“Not after liking it. Do you know how that makes me feel to see you kissing another guy?”
I knew he felt threatened by Jack and my relationship but I couldn’t break up with Jack. Jack loved me. It would crush him if I broke up with him this close to playoffs. It was a big deal for the school for him to win this game. He’d have scouts and the school would have sponsors.
There was too much riding on our relationship. But did I really want Jack’s relationship more than Devin’s?
The answer to that was no.
“Fine,” I said. “I’ll break up with him.”
He looked skeptical. “Really?”
I nodded. “As soon as football season ends.”
“Layla,” he whined.
“Stop whining.” I groaned. “You know what I mean to him. And you know what he means to this school. If I break up with him now, with it being so close to the end of the season it would crush him. There’s too much riding on this.”
He looked more upset now than before and it made my stomach hurt.
“Get out, Ms. Bungah.”
This shocked me. “Wait, what?”
“You heard me, Layla. I can’t talk with you when you’re being unreasonable.”
“Unreasonable, me? I-”
“Just go.” He hung his head to look at the papers on his desk.
I sighed in defeat. “If
