Chapter 4 Chapter Four
“Lilly is in that class too. Would you mind taking her?” Logan asks giving me a gentle squeeze.
Harrison smiles at me. “Well of course. You ready to go Lilly? Lunch is almost over.”
“Umm, yeah.” I say and I try to stand up. Logan reluctantly let’s go of me. “See you guys later.” I smile and wave to everyone.
Harrison throws his arm around my shoulder, and I can’t help but glance back at Logan who is giving Harrison death glares.
“So, you and Logan?” Harrison asks casually.
“What do you mean?” I say blushing.
“You guys a thing?” Harrison says with a smirk.
A thing? How can we be a thing? We just met this morning. “We just met this morning; I don’t think we are a thing.” I say and I feel heat creeping up my neck.
Harrison smirks. “If you say so. I have never seen Logan act so possessive over anyone ever.”
Possessive? Over me? Butterflies flutter in my stomach and I can’t help but smile. I feel Harrison tighten his arm around my shoulders and I look up at him. “I think I should warn you. Your lovely stepbrother is also in this class.”
Ryder? Really? Damn, I was hoping I could avoid him all day. I was lucky up until now. Harrison laughs. “It’s not that bad. You can sit by me, and we can act like he doesn’t exist.”
I smile up at him. “Okay.”
The classroom is dark and full of computers. “I sit in the back.” Harrison says as he guides me to the back row.
Harrison sits in front of the computer in the back right corner of the room. I take the seat next to him. Harrison helps me sign in and get on the right website. “The teacher is always a little late.”
The door opens and I think it’s going to be the teacher but instead it’s Ryder and a skinny brunette that has her arm wrapped around his waist like she might fall down if she lets go of him.
Ryder and the girl I’m assuming is his girlfriend walk towards the back row and sit in the aisle opposite of me. I watch as Ryder takes the seat on the aisle and his girlfriend takes the seat next to him. I wish he was worse looking, but unfortunately, he is gorgeous. He has shaggy black hair, dark brown eyes and a muscular tan built. Too bad he is a dick. He catches me looking at him and I immediately look away, turning my attention back to Harrison.
Harrison pulls my chair closer to him, and I smile when he puts his hand on my thigh. “So do you have a boyfriend?”
“Do you think I would let you and Logan touch me like this if I had a boyfriend?” I say in a flirtatious tone.
“I mean some girls don’t mind, even if they have a boyfriend.”
I roll my eyes but can’t help but laugh. “Well I don’t have a boyfriend.” I have never had a boyfriend. I don’t tell him that part though.
“Good.” Harrison leans in closer and I feel his breath on my ear. “I guess you don’t mind if I do this then.”
I give him a confused look, but before I can ask what he means I feel his hand slide much higher on my thigh sending a chill through my body. I suck in a sharp breath. Before he can get any higher, I put my hand on his and give him a look. He just winks at me in return.
“Is the teacher ever going to come in?” I ask Harrison.
Harrison shrugs. “Honestly probably not. He hardly ever actually shows up.”
“Oh. Well what do we do then?”
“Pretty much this.” He says waving a hand around the room. Everyone is playing on their phones and talking.
I can’t help but laugh. “Well okay then.”
I glance over at Ryder and his girlfriend. His girlfriend is jabbering on about who knows what, but he isn’t paying any attention. Instead, he is staring at me, with the most intense stare I have ever seen. I don’t know whether to stare back or look away. Harrison moves his hand higher up on my thigh and I jump.
Ryder’s attention drops down to my thigh, and he narrows his eyes at me. “Why is he staring at you?” Harrison whispers in my ear and I finally look away from Ryder.
“I think he’s staring at your hand on my thigh.” I whisper back to Harrison, and he smiles at me.
“Let him stare.” Harrison whispers back to me.
I glance back at Ryder one last time who is still staring and turn my attention to Harrison who wraps his arms around my waist to pull me closer. “You know we could give him something else to stare at us about.” Harrison says with a mischievous smile.
“Oh yeah, what’s that?” I ask genuinely curious.
“We could make out.” Harrison says w ith a completely straight face, and I can’t stop the giggling that erupts from me.
“You are hilarious.” I say right as the bell rings signaling the end of class.
“You got lucky.” Harrison says giving me quick kiss on the cheek.
“I have study hall in the library next. Are you by any chance in there with me?” I ask hoping I don’t have to go alone.
Harrison frowns at me. “I’m not, but I think Calvin is.”
“Oh okay. I’m glad I won’t be alone.”
“Don’t miss me to much babe.” Harrison says with a wink and another quick kiss on the cheek.
“It will be hard, but I will try to survive without you.” I say giving Harrison a kiss on the cheek. “See you later.” I say waving as I turn and head towards the library building.
This is the first time all day I had to walk to a class by myself, and I am not going to lie I do not like it.
“Lilly, Lilly wait up.” I hear someone calling my name when I’m about halfway up the hill to the library. “Lilly.” I hear it again and I finally see Calvin running towards me.
“Oh hey.” I say waving at him.
“Damn girl you walk like you’re being chased by a damn serial killer.” Calvin says when he reaches me.
“I do not.” I say laughing.
Calvin huffs. “Yes, you do. I have never seen anyone walk so fast to class in my life.”
I can’t help but laugh again. “Well, I’m sorry.”
Calvin links his arm with mine. “Now that I can breathe again, let me escort you to the library.”
“Well thank you.” I say putting my hand on my chest. “I feel special.”
Calvin laughs and we make our way up the rest of the hill making small talk along the way. The library has more people than I thought there would be. “I didn’t realize so many people would be in study hall.” I say to Calvin when we find an empty table.
