Bad Temptation

Chapter three: "Him... again."

As soon as the bell rang, I literally ran out of class, down the hall to my locker. All this nervous tension today was really stressing me out. I opened my locker and started putting my French, English and science book away. I saw someone walk behind the opened door of my locker. 

Who could it be? Everyone was at lunch except me...

I looked up to see a big curly, puffy Afro. What was Jacob doing here; he knows I don't like him I've made that very clear from the moment we met I don't do bad boys.

"What do you want Perez?" I asked in a disinterested tone.

"Why you being so hostile ma?" he smiled and bit his lip as he closed my locker door.

"... Just, go away Jacob" I sighed and started walking towards the library. I could see he was following me.

"Hey hey, look I thought we had a good time in English" he unwrapped my arms out of its folded position and held on to them.

"You're not gonna stop are you?" I asked.

"My mum told me to never give up on what I want." He responded slightly laughing.

"See now I would ask what you want, but then I can see this getting weird so how about I go." I pulled away and began my walk into the library, greeting the lady that sits there. I made my way into the area where people in our school have written their own books, it's actually really cool and the library is really big so it's fun; plus no one is here because they're all at lunch. I started to look for book. I felt someone's hands on my waist... Jacob.

"Jacob!" I shouted in my angry tone.

"Shhhh" He whispered "this is a library. What's wrong Jessica?" He asked in a whisper. I could feel his minty breath on my neck and face, as he brought his hands off my waist to turn me around and slam me into the wall. I could feel my temperature rise and my heart beat so hard and fast I could hear it.

"J-J-acob... I-I-I-I-" I was cut off from my mindless stuttering by Jacob putting his finger on my lips signalling me to shut up.

"So Jessica I'm going to ask you one last time, do you like me?"

My mouth opened but no sound came out. Not even the slightest squeak at all. It was like my vocals were being suppressed from all the oxygen in my body. Why did Jacob do this to me, why couldn't he just leave me alone? He's so mysterious I just don't understand him.

As I pondered Jacob looked deeply into my eyes. He read my body language as I tensed up at his touch.  My heart beat increased rapidly as his breath travelled down my spine. 

"Ermmmm............ a teacher is coming" I lied hopelessly.

"Let them come I'm more concerned on you… Us Jessica". Jacob said softly. "I wanna know what's going on between us Jessica. I need to know how you feel about me. I can't keep chasing you forever." He winked and slowly put his hand on my chest and felt my heart beat. I thought my heart would beat out of my body and land onto Jacob’s hand. At the pace it was beating, I was sure to die at any moment. 

"Us?...Jacob......This..... We.... " I slurred helplessly as Jacob had put me in to a trance. 

He pulled me closer so both of us could feel our heart beats against our chests. His warm breath made the hairs on my body stand up like a cat. My eyes couldn't help but be locked on his. I didn't like him. I'm sure I was but something about him would just attract me. 

"I don't like you" I blurted out quickly.

He raised his eyebrows at me but then smirked at me. 

"You sure?" He stroked my check softly and kissed my check.

My checks flushed scarlet red and my temperature arose from hot to boiling. I could feel my body shaking like crazy and my head sweating. I was a nervous hot wreck. Jacob got me where he wanted me and he done a good job of it, I couldn't even lie about that. 

"It's ok darling. I know the truth". Jacob traced his fingers around my lips and leaned in close and was about to kiss me where he paused. "Jessica?"

"Yes Jacob" I breathed deeply while touching his check. 

He chuckled and vanished into the light leaving me breathless. My eyes wandered everywhere just in case he was playing a trick on me but he was really gone. I slipped down the wall and fell on my bottom. I felt my check where Jacob stroked at my check. It was still red and hot. I felt like a bubble about to burst into droplets of confusion. 

Jacob irked me down to his guts down right to him yet here I was breathless over him. I couldn't get myself up. My legs felt like jelly and blood was rushing all around my body. No boy had ever made me feel like that yet Jacob could do that to me easily. Thinking Chres would be the only person on my mind, here comes Jacob entering my mind and turning it around. 

Oh if my brother knew the things in my mind he would kill me and Jacob. I'm not gonna tell him anytime soon. He can just be his dumb self and I’ll just be dying slowly. He's too busy with his girlfriend angel. If mum knew the things he done boy would he be in trouble.  After minutes of trying to get myself up, I made my way out of the library and wandered down the hallway. I sang a little tune to myself and bobbled my head. I looked down to my watch and nearly tripped over the bin as I noticed I was late to ART. Art was a subject I could express myself well in and I was good at art their was no way I was going to miss it. 

I quickly made a dash up the stairs through the doors past the lockers and I was about to enter art when I couldn't help but notice my brother against the lockers kissing the life out of my best friend. How the hell did teachers not see this! I shook my head at the sight of them and coughed loudly. 

Ray turned around and looked me up and down. "Excuse but I need my best friend. We have art and we are late brother"

"Do you know, well I’m busy with her" My brother grinned and continued to kiss her. 

"That’s disgusting you two make me sick!" I could feel my belly squeezing up my breakfast to my throat.  I shook my head in shame. I closed my eyes and rushed past them into art and took a deep breath. Luckily the teacher must have been on a toilet break so I was saved. Looks like Angel would get away this time. I swear she's a fool and he's an idiot. A couple made in heaven.  I laughed at my thoughts and totally forget about the incident between me and Jacob. I was glad I was away from him. Bad meat that's what Jacob is. 

Time went by again and I was drifted into my thoughts and my life. 

Everything just seemed a blur at times; I couldn't really explain it at all. I was used to this anyway. I just went with flow and hoped for the best.
