Chapter 6: Damon Is A Murderer
Nessa had always found love triangles intriguing and funny, which was why she loved soap operas, they gave her the best of it. It always made her wonder what it felt like to win the heart of two men - so damn stupid.
Why like someone that doesn't like you? Nessa has had her fair share of boyfriends in the past but she had never once fought for their attention, it was pretty childish and stupid in her view. It was a headache handling two men vying for your attention.
But as thrilling as a love triangle sounds, right now, she was caught in the middle of the less romantic version of it, she didn't want it anymore. This wasn't a love triangle but some idiotic organism christened Damon, trying to ruin her image and a dumb cassonova called Luke unknowingly getting her into more trouble.
"Aww, here comes the loser," Damon mocked sarcastically as soon as Luke came to stand in front of him.
"And here stands the king of all jerks," Luke countered, earning a growl from Damon, but it didn't faze him, "Let her go, Damon."
"On whose orders?" That jerk challenged while Nessa rolled her eyes. The nerve of him! He was speaking as of he owns her.
"Do you want to do this?" Luke loomed over him threateningly, which wasn't quite effective since both men stood at almost the same height.
"I'm so scared," Damon taunted, acting like a scared child yet his eyes grew dark abruptly, changing to downright scary "Come on, bring it on."
Nessa was at a crossroads on what to do. The two guys towered over her, she was like a dwarf in their midst; her height wasn't even up to their eye level - who brought these giants down to earth. Still yet, She got in-between the two angry beasts ready to charge at each other without warning.
"Alright, you two are so not doing this, not on my watch. Please, don't get me in trouble because I have enough of that on my plate already- I'm the most hated person at school" She added," Thanks to you, Damon"
The students already hated her guts because of Damon, imagine if Luke added to the mix? She'd be dead meat. Luke might not be as popular as Damon, but he has his followers, who might see it as an opportunity to take it out on her too.
"Hone-"
"Don't honey me," She finally released her hands from his grip, poking Damon at his chest with a glare," lt makes me want to throw up."
"Alright, Red-"
"Don't use the color of my hair either!" Ugh! Nessa snapped, this boy was serously annoying her to death.
"Alright, sweetheart," He said this time, and Nessa gave up. Damon Claire was impossible. Does this guy ever give up?
"I'm sorry about what happened," He continued, "But this war is between us, men"
"As if he's a man," Nessa snorted inwardly. She didn't dare say that out loud, especially now a small crowd had gathered around them as usual with their phones out. Seriously, don't these people have something better to do than to gossip about someone else?
Nessa faced Luke with a forced smile when all she wanted to do was to reset his brain with a slap at the back of his head, "Thanks for your help but I'm fine now, so please find your way back to wherever you came from,"
For a moment there, Luke's hardened features softened until his eyes rested on the bruise on her hand from Damon's tight grip earlier.
"You're hurt," he said pointedly, his voice taut with anger to her surpise. He almost looked like he'd murder someone - for real.
Nessa looked down and winced from the pain. She had been so high on adrenaline she didn't notice it until now.
Luke's eyes grew dark which scared her, "He bruised you! He hurt you!" He snapped and lunged at Damon but she held him back.
Their drama had destroyed the peace of the library yet the library attendant stood doing nothing. Seriously? Why doesn't she try to stop them? Was this a joke or a show to her?
Nessa quickly gathered her books and her backpack, "Let's go" she summoned the courage to grab Luke, dragging him out of the library under the watch of the students. Great! This would make the news in the school's gossip forum.
At first, she had been the one leading him out until Luke switched their role and began to take her to God knows where.
"Where are we going? Where are you taking me?" Nessa began to panic.
He didn't answer nor spare her a look but the way his jaw muscles worked told Nessa that he was really pissed.
Well, maybe, she should relax, it was not like Luke was about to kidnap her or something. Would he?
"The men's locker room?" Her eyes widened upon reaching their destination.
No sooner had Luke dragged Nessa inside, did he swiftly slide off her backpack, toss whatever she was carrying to the floor, pushed her up against the locker, and kissed her.
Nessa stiffened with rounded eyes, what the hell was going on? Everything happened so quickly that she couldn't comprehend a thing.
"Ouch," She cried out when he bit down on her lower lips.
The girl had not been responding to his kisses so he sought that as a way to elicit a response from her.
Nessa pushed against his chest, trying to put some space between them but Luke gripped both hands and locked them above her head with his large palm thus, leaving her at his mercy.
"I don't like you being with him," He growled, trailing down her neck with small, hot, kisses.
Nessa moaned as he sent delicious shivers through her, her back arching to meet his kisses as much as she tried to deny it.
"Being with him is the last thing I'll ever do," She managed to confess, breathless. His kisses were doing funny things to her body.
That was the truth. Ever since she met Damon, he had done nothing but brought trouble to her. But then, that doesn't mean Luke wasn't trouble either. She just wanted a quiet school year and graduate in peace.
"Good," he said, pulling away.
"Why did you kiss me?" Nessa asked when he finally let go of her hands.
She has always been vocal from birth so wasn't shy to speak out on what he did to her.
"I was just so angry that the only thought in my head was to kiss you" Luke confessed to his own shock. He had never been the type to be open to someone- at least not after that incident.
Nessa rubbed her forehead, disappointed "Seriously dude, you need to work on your anger and I'm not some object for self gratification - "
She was still saying when he kissed her once again. This time it was much harder and demanding that she had no choice but to respond to him immediately. Her hand thread through Luke's hair, it was just as soft as she imagined while her other hand wrapped around his neck.
"Now… " Luke broke away with his chest heaving,"I kissed you because I wanted to" And with that, he left the locker room.
Nessa was unmoving for a while, regaining her senses slowly. What the hell just happened? Did she make out with Luke in the guy's locker room? What if someone was here and secretly recorded them? Most of all, why did she let him use her?
Ahh! This is crazy!
With lightning speed, Nessa picked up her things and fled out of the room before anyone could find her.
"Oh thank God" Aimee was the first to find her in the hallway, "I've been searching for you ever since I saw the trending news on the gossip forum… and why's your face flushed?" She observed.
"Because I just made out with Luke in the boy's locker room" she blurted.
Aimee was someone she couldn't hide her secrets from; she would find out sooner or later.
"What?!" Aimee screamed.
"Keep it down," she cupped Aimee's mouth, looking around their surrounding for the gossip. If they heard this, she might as well leave the school.
"Are you crazy?! You shouldn't be doing that ".
"I know right," Nessa groaned," I shouldn't have let that player kiss me"
Aimee shook her head, "No, that's not what I mean - you can exchange saliva with whoever you want"
Ouch, that one hurt. Aimee's crude way of speaking could break a heart.
She went on, "I mean you shouldn't play both guys"
"I'm not playing both guys" Nessa complained, "They're the ones who keep finding me"
"Then you have to stay as far away from them before you got burned"
"I don't understand" Nessa was confused.
Aimee placed a hand on her shoulder,
"Damon and Luke are sworn enemies"
"That's new" Nessa was shocked, "And interesting. Keep going"
"They hate each other so much you can compare them to fire and ice; they can't cohabitate"
Nessa frowned, rubbing her chin reflectively," Why do they hate each other?"
"Because Damon killed Luke's sister," Aimee answered, laying more emphasis on 'killed.'
Nessa was dumbfounded, Damon is a murderer? What in the world was going on?
