Deadly
Games
~Chapter
Twelve~
A
little over a month had gone by.
I had been ignoring Trey and hiding out in the bookstore.
It was the perfect safe-haven that Trey knew nothing about.
It also helped that David was always there.
I had never heard from Trey again after that night. I thought that he had given up on me and moved on to something new.
The Christmas season came and went without anything new. I had spent it with Ms. Mary, helping out at the shop, but seeing as it was a holiday, very few customers came in. So instead, we sat around, chatting and drinking tea and eating all the leftover Christmas cookies.
Every day over break, Ms. Mary greeted me every morning with a smile. David started showing up earlier to work so he could share a coffee with me before he started work. I began to help him with the few tasks Ms. Mary would actually give him, so it was basically like I now worked there. Today, as we were sitting on a sofa, looking at a magazine together, David read aloud a section about a young girl with cancer who just got engaged to her boyfriend, also with cancer.
The two stood, holding hands, their smiles engulfing their faces, their skinny bodies glowing with joy. Both were undergoing chemo.
The title read, “In Love with My Best Friend, Check!” David looked at me, smiling.
I blushed and reached down to grab his hand. As I held it in mine, he gave it a quick squeeze.
“Hello you two,” Ms. Mary came out of the back room and shuffled over to us. Her sweet face smiled at us, revealing exhaustion that I had never seen before. “I’m going to go out for a cup of tea and some lunch. I’ll be back in about an hour.”
She walked by us, patting David on the shoulder as she passed.
We watched her pull on her jacket and shuffle down the street, out of sight.
David slowly sat up and looked around. The shop had been slow all morning.
He got up, and discreetly turned the shop sign from “Come On In!” to “Sorry, We’re Closed!” I gave him a funny, amused look as he walked back to me. He smiled as he lowered himself next to me.
“Did you know that we met each other two and a half months ago?” David asked, his eyes shy, his face adorable.
“I didn’t know that,” I smiled, titling my head at him, my blond hair falling to the side. It had finally reached the middle of my back.
“I’ve been keeping track,” he chuckled, quietly. “It feels so much longer, though.”
My smile widened. “It does, doesn’t it?”
He pulled me close to him, whispering in my ear, “And I’ve loved every minute of it.”
I felt his lips press against mine, gentle at first, and deepening to more than just a simple kiss.
Every time David and I had been alone together, we’d gotten more passionate.
His tongue formed next to mine, dancing with mine. I felt his hand slip up my sweatshirt, rubbing the small of my back.
My hand slid its way into his shaggy black hair, twisting the soft locks in between my fingers.
We stayed that way for a while, entranced by each other, until we were interrupted by my phone on the coffee table buzzing insanely loudly.
I pulled apart, my heart racing, his eyes hungry for more, and turned to my phone.
I fixed my shirt as I checked the new message.
My body went numb as I read who it was from.
“New Message from Trey Churchill”
My stomach churned as I clicked “Read Now”.
The message read, “Well hey, Peppermint. Long time, no s*x, eh?”
My heart dropped as I realized he hadn’t forgotten me nor changed at all.
I took a deep breath before I finished reading the message.
“I’m thinking it’s time for Round Two ;)”
LEAVE ME FEEDBACK THANKS.
Hey, so some weenie reported this chapter and it became *pending moderation*, so I'm reposting it for those who haven't read it yet. A new chapter will be up tonight.

I think the reason that someone reported it is because Steve said he had to filter witty in the next 3 days from bad language/ sexual content of witty will be deleted.
