ANDY:

"Are you sure you're Okay??" I asked Austin as he'd parked the car in the school's parking lot ten minutes ago and we were still sitting in. He was just staring through the rain-dropped windscreen to school building with narrowed eyes. Like he was thinking about something and trying to spot someone from the crowd. "Its okay if you go back home, I'll ask Col-"

"I'm perfectly awesome..." he forced a smile, looking at me reassuringly.

"What ever you say..." I smiled, glancing at the off-white and red bricked building of our school. It was shining as the rain had washed away every dot of dirt off it. "You know, it does feels weird going school after spending an almost honeymoon type trip..." I shouldn't have said that because Austin let out a hearty chuckle and my cheeks went red and hot despite it was growing cold due to weather which was extremely cool.

"You're really giving me cracks about our Trip-" he smirked, correcting my lame use of word. "-I'ma gonna have to make the Real after marriage trip more interesting..." his lips curled up in a smirk that looked so perfect on his face revealing his left cheek dimple, making me wanna kiss it right away.

I bit my lower lip as Austin's smirk grew wider seeing me drooling over his face, especially the lip part. My cheeks turned into much brighter color as I felt the blood rushing in them, making me feel hot. Austin brought his hand to my face, brushing my right cheek lightly. He locked his eyes with mine.

His deep blue eyes weren't piercing as usual or oceanic that would always drown me in, but they were intense. So much intense that I felt I was melting in them. The smirk on his face turned in to a smile which didn't touch his eyes which were soft but sad.

His smile slightly shrunk and then finally faded as he stared in my eyes. He sighed heavily. "We should get going. People are staring..." he forced a weak smile.

I looked away feeling stupid for holding him for so long but I needed to know what was bothering him! Why as he so upset... or curious? He'd looked quiet worried since the day we went to the City. Like something bad is gonna happen. I've never seen him so worried and lost in his thoughts before. He seemed like concentrating so much on something that had something to do with him and his past. I wondered what it was. But he never told me anything but... 'It's nothing at all, you're just feeling it...' followed by a smiled and a quick intense kiss.

He turned in his seat and reached for our bags at the back seat. He handed me mine and quickly got off. I got out when he was as my side holding up the umbrella. I was raining mildly. "I want to know what's bothering you. Please..." I demanded slowly for the thousandth time ever since, reading his expressions but they were the same.

"Thought of losing you..." he mumbled quietly so I couldn't hear him but I did. Just as I opened my mouth to ask him why on earth he'd think that, his lips landed on mine. He gently kissed, back and forth but didn't forced his tongue in my mouth. His free hand found mine and our fingers got intertwined.

"Andy!!" we heard Collie squeak not too far away so we broke apart. She reached us with a strange twinkle in her eyes. A grin was pasted wide on her face.

"I'm gonna see you later..." Austin said and took off. Collie quickly stepped nearer so we could share the umbrella. I was watching Austin as he disappeared in the school when Collie jumped at me hugging tightly.

"God you're back!!" she squeaked.

"You forgot to add 'oh my...'" I mumbled against her.

She pulled back grinning at me. "Yeah, Oh my God!" she chuckled. "You've to tell me all about it!" her excitement made me, shiver.

"How about getting in first?" I started to walk. She walked beside me, making a face at my unenthusiastic tone. She'd obviously expect me to jump and squeak and go wild about the weekend Austin and I had spent but I wasn't all that. Not that I didn't liked it, but because it was so amazing that I didn't had words to explain it and no emotion was enough either.

Last three days with Austin just flew so quickly, though I never want that time to end. It was so much more than just being together. I had never thought me and Austin would ever get along. All the time I felt, that a girl like me can't be with a guy like Austin Blake. But here I was... as Austin's fiancée!

"Start speaking." Collie jolted me lightly once we were in. I kept walking because I didn't know where to begin. I mean there was so much to tell but it was kinda personal. Really personal! "How was it? What did you do?? Was it fun? I mean of course it was but did you two got a little romantic?..." Collie just went on and on.

"Shhh! Keep it low! I don't want the whole school to hear it!" I hissed, reaching at my locker. She kept quiet for a while till I took out the books, waiting patiently for me to get over with it. I took as long as I could, wish the bell to go so I'd be spared the explanation.

"Be done with it Andy!" she banged the locker door.

"Seriously Col, it wasn't anything big..." I said simply, not looking in her eyes.

"Are you crazy? Have you dropped your brain somewhere?" she shouted. Everyone passing by gave us a weird look so she hissed. "You spent the whole freaking weekend alone with Austin in the City and you're telling me it's nothing Big!"

"We just... um, you know..." deep inside I was seriously wishing the bell would go so I'd run in the class. "...uh, we-" the sound of bell poured down the corridors. I sighed in relief. "I'll see you later." I quickly told her, walking away to my class. She followed me of course because we had almost all the classes together.

We took our usual seats together and Collie glared at me angrily. She knew I was ignoring her for no good reason. Few dreadful classes later I finally found Austin standing with Seth and Jeff Conner and Mark Steven just out side the gym room. They all were wearing their Soccer suits ant they looked really sweaty like they've been playing for a long time. Austin was explaining something from the sweat-damped paper that he was holding.

He urgently told them the rest of the strategies as they spoke, "Got it Captain!", "Piece 'a cake..." and clapped their hands on his back forcefully. "Don't sweat Austin! We've got it all!" Seth grinned and so did others and disappeared inside. Austin ran his hand through his sweaty messy blond hair, breathing out a lot of air, letting his head drop back so it was resting on the wall.

"Another game Captain?" His eyes popped open as I reached him. "You look hell!"

"Coach just signed another league..." he let out a frustrating sigh. "Now I freakin' have to win this for him! Like always!"

"You should be excited... it's your thing. You love it!" I tried to be enthusiastic.

He chuckled at my tone and slipped his hands around my waist, pulling me near so our lower part was touching. Rubble of hotness rolled up my body although I noticed; now that I was sticking to him that he wasn't sweating but was wet because I remembered it's raining out! "I didn't know my wifey was so excited for me... knows me so much..." he grinned.

I locked my arms around his neck, stepping into comfort zone. It kinda felt strange to be like this because we were in still in school. The ground of gossips. But it couldn't hurt us because we were officially in relation and also because this particular corridor wasn't a common passage. Only jocks and cheerleaders used it and surely no one was around right now, besides the fact that half of the kids were jocks!

"Every one knows you well. You're one of the M.W.S.Js..." I said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"And what exactly is M.W.S.J?" Austin started playing with my loose hair.

"Most Wanted Sexy Jock... besides-"

"So you think I'm sexy?" he ignored the rest I was about to say. His grin grew wider.

"No..." I teased him. "You're Austin Blake, King of the school, supposed to be sexy... hot. Every one knows by heart what you Love!"

He licked his lip seductively making my heart do a flip. "What everyone doesn't know is..." he lowered his head to me. My heart pounded faster in my ear, making it difficult for me to hear or think about anything. However in the distance I thought I heard some footsteps coming this way but they soon disappeared as Austin's mouth landed on mine. His lips were cold because he'd been playing in the rain earlier but they felt so soothing on my lips that were growing hotter by every touch I felt from Austin. "... that I'm in love with someone else..." he mumbled, smiling against my mouth. "... Which makes it difficult for me to love anything else..."

"People are coming..." I mumbled in I-don't-care tone, not wanting to break the kiss.

"They're not saints..." he sucked deeply on my lower lip. "... and this isn't a sin..." he lowered his body. His manhood brushed at mine, sending a wave of urge through me. I moaned, clutching his hair in my fingers. I suddenly felt that I was hungry! Hungry for his love!

Austin's arm got locked just under my hips and he straightened, lifting me off the ground, trying not to break the kiss. He started walking, making his manhood continuously torture me. My hands got tighter around his neck, slipping deeper in her hair. He walked in the gym and to the inter-connected changing room. A sudden damp smell from the made my nose wriggle but I ignored it because Austin's breath smelled so much better and his lips tasted sweet.

After a long torturous walk, Austin finally put me down, breaking the kiss. We both breathed heavily, staring directly in the eyes. His stare was very much intense making me look weak so I withdrew myself from his eyes and looked around, running a shivery hand through my hair.

"Wow!" he breathed out, dropping himself on the bench. He rested his head back on the wall and closed his eyes still breathing heavily. "We should be careful." he whispered although we were at the far end of the changing room which was dimly lit and rarely anybody had their locker here, so there was a very little chance for us to be found like this.

"It's not like you can get me pregnant twice at one time." I mumbled stupidly, turning red in my cheeks.

Austin took my hands and pulled me down so I sat on his lap. His eyes weren't sad anymore. They were much alive and sparkling now. "Maybe I was wrong..." he removed my hair from the shoulder and kissed the neck. His touch made me dizzy. I titled my head on the other side so he'd have his way up to my jaw. He brushed his lips from my neck to the shoulder and back to neck and up my ear. "... I want You more than you want me..." he whispered out cold breath slipping his fingers in my hair. I turned my face to him, to look in his eyes but he had them closed. "I'm nothing without you..." he whispered again resting his head against my forehead. His words felt so true and filling. "You complete me Andy..." and with this I pulled his chin up and crushed my mouth on his.

It wasn't him this time who forced the kiss, but I did. I wanted to show him that I wanted him too. That I wasn't complete without him too. I pulled back, looking in his wondering eyes. "You're not the only one to feel like that you idiot!" I whispered harshly and started the kiss again aggressively. I forced my tongue in his mouth and he moaned.

I had to lift myself up to get the pleasure. I stood against him and pinned him against the wall. He groaned with pain and pleasure but didn't pull back. I was bending down slightly, one knee on the bench, sticking close to Austin who had his hands around my waist. So it was me this time to control Austin not the other way round which was the usual way it always was.

A sudden harsh ringing startled us. We broke apart as if there was some static current.

My head felt heavy and dizzy and for a second I could register what happened or what was making such an irritating noise until Austin literally barked, breathing really heavy. "You're phone!"

I was taken aback by this because it's usually Austin's phone that always break our kisses. I quickly fished out the phone from my pocket hitting the answer button. "Hello?"

"What happened to you?" Paul spoke from the other side and I noticed he was referring to the way I was breathing. Frantically!

I controlled my self. "Uh, nothing."

"Have you been running?" "Who is it?" Paul and Austin spoke at the same moment and all I could give them both was a "Huh?" because I couldn't understand them both.

"Have-" "Who-" they started again but I held my hand up to Austin and told Paul, "Wait up a sec."

"It's Paul..." I told Austin who rolled his eyes. "... and no I wasn't running." This was for Paul.

"Great! Just in time to ruin things like always!" Austin barked so Paul could hear him. "You're with Austin having half sex!" Paul said in disgusted tone. They were back to being nasty, irritating the hell out of me.

"Shut up you both! Nobody ruined anything and we weren't having sex!" I shouted. They both felt dead silent. I inhaled a lot of air to calm myself down and felt a little embarrassed. "Sorry." I bit my lip.

"So you're back and I didn't even know..." Paul's tone was complaining.

"Uh, we just got back last night." I lowered my voice.

"Yea I know..." the situation was getting kinda awkward with Austin staring at me weirdly and Paul hesitating while talking.

"I guess I'll see you later." "Tell him to pick you after school." They both talked at the same time. Again. Their overlapping dialogues made it difficult for me to get what they said.

"Can you two please talk one at a time?" I literally requested, waiting for either of them to start talking but they didn't spoke anything. I crocked my eye brow at Austin, signaling him to get over with it. He smiled rather evilly like he'd had a bad thought. He stood up drawing his face closer.

My heart leaped again, pounding hard against my chest as his face was just an inch away. For a second I thought I was going to drop my phone. My legs got wobbling and breathing heavy. Just as I thought Austin was about to kiss me, he turned his face to my phone which was fortunately still in my hand, and breathed out. "Pick her up after school. I've got match practices." Austin's voice came out huskily.

I tried to control myself but failed as Austin landed his mouth at mine, again. He made quiet a moaning sound, washing me through a wave of pleasure and pulled back, smirking at my red blushing face and walked away.

A long minute later I pulled myself back to sense and realized Paul was still on the phone. "Uh..." was the only thing I could get out of myself.

"That totally worked!" Paul spat. "I'll pick you later." He quickly spoke and hung up.

I found myself staring at my phone. What the hell was that? What was that supposed to mean? If he was talking about being teased because Austin kissed me... that was absurd! Austin kissed me because he can... he's in love with me!

A minute later I composed myself and walked to the exit of the changing room which leads to the soccer field. I leaned against the wall, watching Austin jogging back and forth with others. It was raining heavily now. Shouldn't they be spared practices in such weather?? Oh well, the coach must really be a mindless freak! Like Austin calls him.

I folded my arms around my chest, to keep myself a little warm and glanced at Austin. I was still thinking about Paul's behavior... I mean, Austin wouldn't have done that just to tease him, when Austin looked at me and passed me the same evil smirk plus a teasing wink.

Oh my god! He really kissed me on purpose! Shit! Damn it! He'll never give up being a jerk!

PAUL:

I literally smacked my phone on the roof of my car. "Shit!" I cursed, curling my fist in a ball, gritting my teeth to stay calm but it did nothing good. I smacked my fist on the same spot again because I was angry at God knows what! While smacking my phone clutched in my fist I noticed that it had left a light dent.

"Fuck it!" I shouted running my hand through my damp hair. I was out half under the shade, trying to avoid getting wet in rain, shouting like freaks, scaring poor pedestrians.

What the hell is wrong with me?! Why was I boiling with anger? Why did I care if Austin went around kissing Andy? Or having sex with her??

He's practically her fiancé and who am I? A no one! I'm nobody to get jealous or interfere in their personal matter! I gritted my teeth and hopped in my car. I shouldn't care about anything they do!

But I can't help it! Every time I tried to get myself involved in something, Andy was the only thing on my mind. It stung so bad when I found out she'd flown away with Austin. I was totally going out of my mind! I promised myself I'd never love her that way but I did! I realized that when she was gone. Though temporary but yet she wasn't there and that made me crazy!

She was so perfect and so she was with Austin! It hurt so damn bad when she wasn't there for last three days. I was totally going out of my mind. Why? I had no idea but I guess I knew well but still I tried to ignore that reason.

I couldn't be in love with Andy. I shouldn't! She's my brother's to-be-wife for sex's sake! I shouldn't even be here but I was... because of Andy only. She was the only one welcoming me to this hell when no one... not even my dad wanted me! She stood there for me... she became my best friend and defended me against Austin and what am I doing??

Being a back stabbing asshole!? Going behind my brother's back and breaking Andy's trust?! What a pathetic person am I!? I couldn't even bring back my own girl how can I even think about stealing someone else's?

I shrugged the thought away. I felt like gagging at myself! I shook my head, throwing away the jealousy that crept through me at hearing them kissing.

"I'm not jealous and I don't love Andy that way..." I quietly repeated that to myself a few times starting the engine. I drove slowly to her school. There was plenty of time for the school to be off but I had nothing better to do at home. Beside I'd barely went to home in last three days. Just roamed around the cities like a homeless piece of a shit!

I parked the car at an empty lot; turning on loud music I drowned myself in the seat. The rain outside was the only beautiful thing that I could keep staring at right now. The air was cold and damp and probably the best thing to think about.

These were the things I was keeping my mind busy at, so I wouldn't go around thinking about Andy. I didn't know when I had closed my eyes, drifting to sleep. The tapping of heavy rain on the roof the car made me open my eyes and look around.

Still there was no one out so I kept my eyes at the entrance from where people will start rushing out any minute like criminals freed from the jail. I fished out the umbrella from the back seat and pulled the hood over my head. Turning off the music I got out, opened up the umbrella and leaned against the car, waiting for Andy.

I heard the bell ringing and a minute later people started storming out. My heart started racing faster at the thought of her. She'd probably smile and maybe hug me. Only the thought made me smile. I scanned through the people around and finally spotted Andy. My heart jumped up and down as if I'd seen her in ages!
