Chapter 98: Her Parents
-Kathrine Andrews: (Song of the Chapter: Headlock by Imogenheap)
Her gaze dipped, dragging over my face, and my lips, before flicking back up to meet my eyes again. There was something dark in her expression—something hungry.
I knew, right then and there, that if I made a move, she wouldn’t stop me.
But before I could do anything—before I could act on the overwhelming urge to grab her, to kiss her until I couldn’t breathe—someone called Kat’s name from across the cafeteria.
She exhaled, slow and sharp, before rolling her eyes and leaning back.
"Looks like we’ll have to finish this later," she murmured, standing up and stretching like she hadn’t just sent my entire fucking brain into a meltdown.
I sat there, fists clenched in my lap, trying to regulate my breathing.
And as Kat walked away, I realized something.
I was so fucking screwed.
