A wave of panic rushed through my body from head to toe when his hand found my mine and wrapped around my wrist before yanking me out of the bushes.

A feeling of vulnerability took over me as I located myself under the showering soft light of the lamp post towering above me. Now that I stood in the open, I didn't have anything to shield or hide myself. If it weren't for the mask I was wearing, my face would be illuminated in all glory to him.

Him, on the other hand, was standing out the light's reach, wrapped in unpierceable darkness. I couldn't see his face but could faintly discern his tall muscular figure. I wanted him to step into the light but at the same time had a cold feet about it.

"Who are you?" his voice was soft as feather, sharp as a knife. Only, it was confounding by how awfully familiar it sounded.

He took a step forward and I took one back.

"I asked you a question" The hint of menace in his low yet powerful voice made goosebumps erupt my skin.

He took another step.

I took another step backward, realizing that he is probably intending on closing the space between us. However, my shuffling feet are stopped by the fence behind me. "Stop right there!" I yelled putting my hand forward to stop him in his tracks.

Of course he didn't listen. Instead he took two steps closer.

"I said st-" my words faltered when he crossed the boundary line wrapped in darkness and stepped into the light, his grey eyes glistening under it. Yeah, they weren't too happy..and neither was I.

Of all the people on Earth, why did it have to this plaguy pig!

Im sure you know which pig I'm about; The one who doesn't look the least like a pig but nevertheless has a shitty personality. The one and only manwhore, Kyle Blakely.

For the first time, the mischievous glint in his eyes had dissappeared. It was as if all the gaiety spirilling behind his grey eyes were suddenly sucked by a bottomless blackhole. The darker and dangerous they got, the paler and frightful my brown ones' turned.

I teared my gaze away from him and studied my surroundings. The two other guys weren't there, they were probably chasing after Jane and Amber but I could still see our car parked a few feets away. If I took a giant step like a brobdingnagian, maybe I could get awa-

"Don't even think about it" he warned taking another step closer.

If you know me well, you would know that I wasn't the kind of person who stuck to anyone's words. In fact, nothing pissed me off more than someone telling me what to do. I straightened under his intense glare and looked at him straight in his striking eyes, trying to outstare him. It was a bit of a staring contest or an intimidation challenge. We were edging and daring each other on for what felt like hours were only minutes, seconds until I plucked up courage and tried making a run for it.

Note the keyboard - Tried.

Next thing I know, his hand suddenly shot out of the blue and clasped around wrist, swinging me straight into his hard chest with force.

I felt a sudden jolt of electricity rush through me when my eyes shot up to his. They were stormy with a whirlwind of emotions as they gazed at my brown ones, as if they were captivated by something.

My brain was buffering from how close our faces were. I could feel heat riveting off his body and his slender fingers enclosed around the skin of my wrist. His breath trickled the tip of my nose, sending tiny little shivers throughout me.

Feeling uncomfortable under his intense gaze, my eyes trailed lower until they landed on his lips. They were a pale pink that reminded me of a rose bud. The top lip was thinner, but not too thin, and it had a natural cupid's bow; the bottom one was larger and more plush. I wondered that it would be like to kiss them.

As soon as that thought crossed my mind, I squished mercilessly it like a bug.

Boys are off limits.
Boys are off limits.
Boys are off limits.

I kept chanting over and over like a mantra,trying to get myself together.

I flattened my palms on his chest in an attempt to shove him away, however, the person who got pushed is me. My spine arched far backwards, propulsing me to the fence. Kyle on the other hand didn't budge at all.

For a split second, his mouth twitched. I was pretty sure he was fighting a smile when the dimple on his left cheek crinkled.

"Let me go you oaf or else-" I snapped, trying to snatch my hand back, only that made him tighten his hold.

He looked like a pissed off archangel. "Or else you'll stare at my face a little longer?"

"N-no" I stuttered, as a wave of heat rushed through me. I didn't know whether I should feel embarrassed about his statement or cry out in frustration. My wrist was hurting from my unavailing attempts of breaking free.

"Or else I will..." I trailed, pondering about what I could do.

Kyle crooked his head sideways, arching an eyebrow. His eyes assessed me carefully before his fingers found the hem of my ski mask, slowly tugging it up to reveal my face "You will wha-"

The mask was already halfway up my face, giving out a notable part of my identity. This was the part of my life where I had no other choice if I didn't want my cover being blown.

I tilted my head up and kissed him.

The muscles under his skin bulged as he tensed and stiffened at the unanticipated bombshell.

A few seconds went by before I felt his body relax only before something unpredicted bolted out of the blue.

Every part of me went on pause while my thoughts catch up when another wave of current jolted throughout my entire body as I felt his lips move against mine.

Holy whipped cream with a cherry on top... I was kissing Kyle!

I can't let that happen!

Do something Elle!

Before my knees felt weak by his kiss, I closed my eyes and mustered all my courage, power, focus, chi and chakra before swinging it straight between his legs.

The sudden impact made him swiftly break the kiss and jerk away from me, grunting in pain.

It was now or never.

I looked down at him, my senses slowly returning and I bolted down the street.

I was halfway apart from the car when I looked past my shoulder to take a last glance at him. His steel grey gaze was burning straight into me as he watched me run away.

The corners of my lips tugged into a victorious smirk before I called out "Take care of your eyes, these are only balls you will have left"

Then, I pulled a disappearing act.
