Millie~

Fuck, I thought, as a hand clamped itself over my mouth and I was pulled from behind into a dark room. The door clicked shut behind me, the room descended into pitch blackness and that's when I lost my shit. Having regained my composure, I swung back one of my legs to give whoever the assailant was a good kicking. Before I could, however, my body was spun around and pressed back against the wall, the large hand still pressed against my mouth.

In a split second there was a click and a dim light lit up the room. Shit me, I thought as I almost fainted. My eyes widened as I stared ahead to see none other than Nick Wright, pinning me to the wall with one hand and covering my mouth with the other hand. 

"Don't shout," he spoke lowly as his body slowly relaxed and he removed his hands from me. My body was frozen still, I didn't know what to do. What was Nick doing? What did he want? I had so many questions for him. Pretty quickly, I got my act together. 

"What do you want?" I questioned, dubiously raising one eyebrow at him. His eyes narrowed ever so slightly at me and his brow furrowed. He half turned around to face the wall to the left of me before he turned back to face me.

"I had to talk to you," he said finally, after clearing his throat and looking directly at me. Shit, how was I meant to respond to that. However, before my little ass knew what was going on, Nick was coming closer to me. Once again, I fucking froze. Nick raised his arms and planted his hands on either side of the wall against my head, never tearing his gaze away from my own eyes. I sucked in a deep breath and my hands clenched to my sides. My body was heating up and I couldn't help but notice the warm, woodsy scent that engulfed me as our chests almost touched.

"When I apologised for kissing you," he started, tearing his eyes away from mine after he said that, looking down between us and laughing a little to himself, before bringing his chocolate gaze back to mine, "I didn't mean it," 

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck

"I'd do it again. What the hell. I'd do it a million more times," he carried on. I wanted to scream, but my body wouldn't let me. I wanted him closer to me, his body was like a beacon and I needed it nearer to me. He threw his head back and sighed, while I watched his Adams' apple bob as he swallowed. His eyes once again returned to my own widened and shocked ones. He adjusted his hands against the wall and moved slightly closer to me, causing our bodies to touch.

"Kissing you made me forget about football, about college, about the fact that my family hates another family because of something stupid that happened years ago. It made me feel like I'm my own person," he continued huskily, his breath fanning over my face. 

"I know I want you and you can't deny that you're attracted to me, just tell me what you want," the proximity of his body pressed my own body closer into the wall behind me, "Don't think about anything else, think about you," he finished, his brown eyes frantically searching mine. 

Fucking shit balls. 

I didn't know how to react - I felt like he was making a confession or something. I slammed my eyes shut and took a deep breath in, his scent filling my nostrils and warming my insides. I thought about what I'd been thinking for the past few days - ever since that kiss. Something deep and weird inside me wanted Nick - it wanted him to kiss me again, to wrap his arms around me and hold me. Then there was everything I'd been brought up to understand - the Wright's were bad people and civility with them was not an option. 

Nick had pretty much laid down his feelings in front of me and I was either going to pick them up and hold them or stamp all over them. I had to make the decision I'd been fantasising about for past few days - I had to make a choice. 

That's when I opened my eyes. 

The chocolate brown orbs which were millimetres from my face, absolutely captivated me. They were like the colour of freshly rained on soil - the colour that promises fresh life and new beginnings. My back pressed against the cold and lifeless wall behind me and Nick was watching me with a hopeful but vulnerable expression. Then I knew. 

"Kiss me again," I whispered slowly, trying with all my might to steady my voice. I was going crazy. He was going crazy. This whole situation was crazy. 

Nick looked shocked and his eyebrows raised ever so slightly. I watched as his eyes flicked down from my eyes to my lips and then back up to my eyes. Ever so hesitantly, his face drifted closer to mine. I could see the uncertainty in his eyes, but mine had already fluttered closed, anticipating the kiss. 

A split second after that, his warm lips crashed onto mine. I didn't hesitate in kissing him back - in fact, I couldn't hesitate - his lips were too enticing. For all the reasons running around my head that were against this, there were a million other reasons that were in favour of this. He bit my lip gently, asking for entry into my mouth, which I couldn't help but grant. His tongue massaged mine as they danced together in an electric moment as he deepened the kiss. 

The corners of his mouth pulled up into a small smile against my lips and one of his hands fell down from on the wall beside my face and wrapped around my waist, pulling me so that I was pressed against his body. I kissed him harder, a small smile playing on my own lips and mirroring his as my arms tangled themselves around his neck, pulling his mouth closer to mine. Playfully, Nick bit my lip slightly and I gasped, allowing for a deeper kiss. A low chuckle resonated through his muscular chest and I couldn't help the corners of my lips tug up into a small smile. I moved my hands down from his neck, enjoying the kiss more and more by the second, and tangled them in the top of his football uniform.

Football uniform. Shit. 

Practice was over. Brent would be waiting for me in the parking lot. Regretfully, I pulled my mouth slowly away from his, glancing down at my hands that were balled in his top. 

"Brent will be waiting for me in the car park," I whispered, my hands slipping around his waist as our bodies pressed against each other. Nick cussed quietly under his breath and I looked back up at him. His eyes were filled with an emotion I couldn't read and he leaned his body into mine which made my back press against the cool, brick wall. 

"Okay, give me your phone, pretty girl," he replied huskily, his lips twitching into a smirk. I raised an eyebrow at him and pressed my head back against the wall, shooting him a confused look. 

"I'm going to put my number in it so I don't have to kidnap you every time I want to see you," he explained, that signature smirk still covering his face. I rolled my eyes in response but then bit my lip slightly when I remembered where my phone was. For fucks sake, Millie. The lack of pockets on my cheerleading uniform meant that I kept my phone in my sports bra. God damn. 

I reached into to my sports bra quickly and pulled out my iPhone, not missing Nick's eyes darken slightly, before he raised an eyebrow and a cheeky expression covered his face. I handed him the phone, rolling my eyes at him, and he typed in his number. 

"What's the name of that bitchy captain of your team?" he asked, furrowing his brow and looking up at me quizzically from the phone. 

"Arden," I replied, chuckling slightly and watching as a stray lock of brown hair flopped across his forehead. He nodded and typed it into the phone, pressing save and handing me back the phone. 

"No one will suspect a thing," he replied, a sly smile spreading over his face. I nodded at him and slipped the phone back into my sports bra. My hands dropped from around him and I grabbed the door handle of the cramped closet to leave. 

"One more thing though," Nick whispered, placing his hand under my chin and pulling my face to his. His lips pressed onto mine, but this time the kiss was gentle and soft. He held his lips there for a few second before pulling away slowly. A small smile played on my lips as I spoke. 

"I'll see you soon, Nick," I said as I threw him a smirk, before opening the door and walking out of the closet. I didn't really understand what the fuck just happened, but I freaking loved every second of it. And for me, that was all that mattered.
