Bestfriends Shouldn’t Know How You Taste novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34

I could feel the anger radiating off of Blake at my  response. He’s tense beside me, stiff as a board.  Austin looks in the rearview mirror and raises his

brow in confusion. “So it’s complicated?” He  questions in a tone full of amusement.

“Yes it’s complicated.” I agreed, because truly it  was. We hadn’t put a label on whatever was going  on and honestly I didn’t know what exactly we  were doing.

All I knew was that I love the way he makes me  feel and those intimate moments had brought us  physically closer. Emotionally, we were drifting  apart.

I turn to face him but he’s facing out of the  window. I feel guilty for dampening his mood. I  sighed and reach over to lace my hand with his. He  stiffens then slowly moves his hand out of mine  and places it on his gym bag.

My heart hurts and I blink back tears. I breathed  out a shaky breath and left him alone.

“Directions?” Austin asks, staring at me through  the rearview mirror. After giving him directions to  my house the rest of the ride is in awkward  silence.

Austin stops the truck beside the pavement and  turns around to face me. “Well it was nice meeting  you, Blake’s complicated girlfriend.” He laughs.

“Thank you for the ride.” I said politely and opened  the door. I walked to the back and was surprised  to see Blake already removing the bike. When did  he get out? He places it on the ground and starts  pushing it towards my house.

“You didn’t have to do that.” I mumble softly as I  trail behind him. He continues to push the bike and  rest it on the wall where it usually is. I cross my  arms as he turns around. He opens his mouth then  closes it, like he wanted to say something.

“Goodnight Ley.” He sighs and sidesteps me,  walking pa*s me. I bite my bottom lip roughly and  swiftly turn around to stare at his departing back.

“Blake!” I called out, heart beating fast in my  chest. He turns around his face lit up with longing.  I was sure mine screamed the same. I wanted him  so much that it physically hurt. But what was  holding me back?

“Goodnight.” I sighed. This wasn’t what I initially  wanted to say or do. I wanted to kiss him, love  him the way I wanted to. Blake’s eyes dim into  disappointment. He nods and enters inside the

truck. Austin drives off a second later and I’m left  staring at the disappearing tail lights.

“I had a bad night.” Ryan groans as he drags his  feet on the floor. I rolled my eyes and pulled the  ends of the bag strap.

We had just come from second first cla*s of the  day and I haven’t seen or heard from Blake since  last night. It worried me to no end and I found  myself drowning out the teacher as I thought of  possible reasons he wasn’t here.

“What exactly did you do lastnight?” I ask in a tone  of amusement. My converse smack against the  tiled floor as I make my way to my next cla*s. The  teacher was running a bit late today so it was okay  for me to stroll around for the while.

“Miranda showed up at my doorstep the exact time  my mom came back from work. And guess F*cking  what?” He questions in an annoyed tone. I cringe  already knowing what had happened.

“She brought legal papers so you could just sign  and be married to her? Oh wait, did she come to  tell you that she’s two months pregnant and you’re

the baby daddy?” I joked and waved at Rosalie  who was swiftly walking to her next cla*s.

“I haven’t forgotten!” She shouts as she pa*ses  me.

“Ha ha ha very funny.” Ryan grumbles and  sluggishly strides beside me. “My mom invited her  to have dinner and I had to sit through an hour of  Miranda yapping about being my girlfriend. The girl  seriously can’t take a hint.” Ryan groans.
