Driving to school in a Prada outfit, she checked the smile on her face in the rear view mirror and then shook her head a little.

But that's what love does to you right?

Make you smile for no reason at all. The heart feels right off the axis and you know that no matter what happens , you have that one person beside you-

Her smile faltered .

Beside her? No.

He wasn't beside her . .yet.

As Dennis said, she was in the grey area. A hazy area that lies on the borderline of friends and lovers.

Just the thought was enough to put her in a damper mood but then she decided , she will take it however it is.

Oh Bullock's!

She knew she will never take anything less than love from him.

How the hell does she wind down from loving him to being friends ?

That's not gonna happen.

When you know you love a person there is no way you could be just friends.

"I can't believe love would be this confusing ." She muttered to herself . "It was suppose to be full of rainbows and a bed of roses but guess not. Great! I'm not even sure if he feels the same way about me or not and great! I'm sounding like a psycho!"

She was talking to herself.

Now that was a first.

She could see the school building getting near and her heart thudding at every second . .she slowed down the speed of her convertible. .as slow as she could but alas! she couldn't take forever.

As usual crappy cars and bikes were lining at the parking lot as her car slipped in.

The car died down as she took the keys off and dump them in her bag. Her hands on the steering wheel, gripping it as hard as she could to transfer her anxiety into the rubber.

"Don't loose yourself. When he confess his feelings today , don't you dare cry and freak him out. It's already hard for guys to accept their feelings so hear him out first and cry at home."

She gave herself a pep talk.

Nodding at no one but her inner pep talk Queen, she stepped out of the car . . shutting the door as she glanced at the school building.

How the hell does it feel to know that after few moments you're going to hear a confession you have been waiting for? Since decades?

Now she was exaggerating it a little too much, oh God. Her heartbeat was thudding like a drum. The noise around her dulled down and all she could hear was the blood pumping in her body.

Rushing.

But she accepted that this day had to come. Sooner or later. .and damn her lips went up. . knowing that he was in the building.

Probably waiting for her.

She stalked purposely towards the building.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Just as she entered the building, as usual eyes turned towards her , whispers broke out among peers . .it didn't even bother her now . .but today she didn't want their eyes on her.

She was looking for those gray orbs.

As her eyes searched while walking slowly. .heels clacking against the marble floor-

"I heard you put the glow in glorious."

A smile broke out on her face.

Ah! She should never try to find him.

He always found her first.

Shaking her head a little, she turned around seeing the man of her dreams right in front of her.

But as her eyes fell on his face. .all she could think about were his lips on hers. The hot moment that set her soul on fire. . .

Don't lose yourself

"How come you always find me ?" She asked out loud.

He leaned in close. . .her breaths shortening-was he going to kiss her right here?-his aftershave hitting her nostrils. .

"I have a secret." All she could see were his eyes.

He wasn't touching her and yet she felt his touch everywhere.

"Yeah?" Her lips went dry .

His gray eyes had that unreadable look again as his gaze flickered towards her lips and then back to her eyes.

"I'm a wolf. I can detect your scent."

He seemed so serious that she couldn't help but believe-

Throwing his head back, he laughed . .making her glare at him and she rarely glared .

"Ha-ha. I'm dying of laughter." She deadpanned.

He took a break in between his laughing fit.

"The look on your face. ." He trailed off as he saw her looking away, a frown on her forehead.

The laugh dying down on his face.

"Hey. .," His voice took a 360 turn . . going from playful to damn serious and . .soft. "Don't be like that. ." he said so gently. .so ugh! She didn't know the word.

Just to see how far he was going to go, she didn't fix her face. Didn't look at him.

Logan looked around at the people trying to peek at them and as soon as they saw him staring back at them, quick as lightning necks snapped back from their direction.

Her heart bloomed when his hand wrapped around her wrist , pulling her with himself.

Since he was in front , he couldn't see the smile she was hiding from him as he walked quickly.

A black t shirt and black pants . .all looking snug on his tall frame. The short sleeves putting his tattoo on display.

Her heart felt proud on her choice.

Just as she was celebrating her choice , he turned around the corner in the corridor and then- turned right around at her.

She dropped the smile from her face.

No one was here . So was he going to kiss-

Carefully, he pulled her to himself. .her hands laying flat on his chest as he stared down at her. .

"I don't like it." He said really looking helpless .

"What?"

"When you're not looking at me or not laughing with me. Nothing makes sense then." He said , one hand around her waist in a loose manner and other lifting up. .brushing away her hair from her face. .

"Am I that important?" She asked, slightly teasing.

"So fucking important. No one has been this important. .and it's scary. " He admitted in a low voice.

Was he going to confess ?

"It's not scary at all when the person is worth it." She said, a light smile on her face as he cupped her cheek. .

He didn't reply to that.

Which left her hanging for a minute until-

"Dean is throwing a party at his house. Everyone is bringing in a friend so. .I thought to ask you. " He said looking at her.

"Ask me?" She repeated, her voice sounding hollow.

"Yeah. .will you come with me?"

"I'll go with you."

Her voice was mechanical.

Friend.

He called her a friend. He didn't talk about the kiss. In fact he didn't even acknowledge it.

Did she dream about it?

Grinning widely at her, he pulled her in a light hug. .her face hidden in his hard chest.

"I swear Dean throws the best fucking party in this town! No one can beat him to it. You'll have fun, Gloria. I promise."

Wrapped in his arms, she didn't allow the wet gloss in her eyes slip out.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

She watched absently as Dean lit up a cigarette, the butt of it catching fire. .smoke filtering out.

Logan took her to back of the school to soak in some sun . He was talking to his friends , still holding her hand in his.

"And just like that, he peed his pants." Travis grinned wickedly , his lanky figure reminding her of a Q-tip.

"He peed? I thought he didn't have a dick?" Logan mocked as Travis burst out laughing.

"Maybe his ex bit it off or something." Travis cracked.

The only person who didn't crack a smile were Dean and. . . Gloria.

Dean was leaning against the wall, the sun rays hitting his jet black hair . .she had seen only one person with this much tats. The tattoos on his arms were the same as J.D.

From his neck down to the back of his hand. His fingers sporting Latin words.

At least that's what she could see.

She didn't want to face whatever was going in her so she observed Dean to keep her head occupied.

He took a deep swig , his honey colored eyes staring down at the dirty floor like it was something out of the world. The brown leather jacket was zipped up , the sleeves folded down to his elbows exposing the tats.

Indeed he was hot. Emitting bad ass aura. The kind where you know you don't want to piss him off or get in his bad books.

He always seemed on edge.

Gloria felt like the slightest touch could set him on flames.

Logan turned his neck at her .

"I'm going with Travis for a minute, Kay? " He said , more like asked. seeking her permission.

She glanced at a forlorn Dean and then at him.

He chuckled , his thumb rubbing soothing circles on the back of her hand.

"Why can't he go?"

" Let's just say he doesn't do much of talking. You're safe with him. I trust him with my life. " He whispered.

"If you say so." She said trying to sound okay but . . .

Logan frowned slightly at her voice but Travis slapped a hand on his back, gaining his attention.

"I get she's beautiful but come on man. Haze is waiting outside." Brad said and Logan nodded.

Taking one last look at her , Logan went off with Travis hot on his heels.

Now it was just her and. .him.

She was not going to crack the ice because he seemed like the ice king and-

"You can leave if you want to ." His husky voice put brakes on her inner ramblings.

He was like six feet away from her.

And he didn't look at her. Even once.

How come he knew she wanted to leave?

Was she that obvious?

"I'm fine. .thanks. " she mumbled. Really not feeling the need to talk much .

And then she saw his neck turning at her . .the startling brown eyes settling on her. .the cigarette hanging between his fingers.

"Want one?" He asked.

"What?" She was so out of the loop.

He lifted his hand.

"What's this called?"

Gloria felt so dumb right now. .was that even a question?

"Cigarette." She mumbled.

And then it hit her. He was asking about the cigarette! Did she want one!

She shook her head wildly .

"No! I don't. No way."

He didn't answer.

He just transformed into a stone statue again. Staring and taking a swig.

Two minutes passed.

Five minutes passed.

Just as she was contemplating leaving , she heard footsteps. Glad that Logan arrived , she was ready to get out of here and . . freaking fix the jag in her heart. It was deepening every second.

But the incoming person wasn't Logan.

It was. .

"Daisy?"

A tired Daisy had entered the vicinity, her blue eyes on Gloria . she kept walking towards her at a slow pace. .

Her pink mouth was about to open when her eyes landed on the guy. .at the left.

Gloria swore her blue eyes had a rush of something passed through them .

As if feeling Daisy's stare, Dean straightened up and with a careless swag , he stalked forward . The edge around him more profound than ever.

And just like that. .

He left. Leaving dust behind .

What the hell just happened?

Gloria could see the blush spreading on Daisy's face.

"Do you know where Logan is?" Daisy asked timidly. .her gaze flickering at the blaze Dean left in his wake. .

Gloria told her everything.

And. .

She just knew. .

She knew Daisy and Dean had something going on.
