Heartbeat - Part 31 and 32

Part 31

Zain's P.O.V

"Dude, you have to tell her," Rayaan exclaimed. "No, No, I am and you can't tell her either," I said quickly. Shit me and my big mouth. This was all wrong, how could I have been god damn spastic. "Hmm, let's go, we're going to be late," Rayaan said standing up. He was a nice guy, looking out for his friends. I knew, I could trust him, but I didn't trust Mike, I knew he would do something.

I walked into lab and looked around, Tasha wasn't here yet. She didn't even text back, I was getting worried. "Dude, since when did you get worried, man, you're a big old wuss," I mumbled to myself and sat on my chair. "Actually you know what, I'm not even going to talk to her. She didn't text back or even call. Huh, no way, am I going to talk to her, actually, I'm going to ignore her." I mumbled as I arranged my notes on the work desk. "Hi," Natasha said in her melodic voice. I couldn't help but reply "Hi," I smiled back at her. I shook my head. What the hell dude, you're meant to be ignoring her. I moved my head around that I was facing away from her. "Sorry I couldn't text back, I didn't even read your text. It was accidentally deleted," she said. "Oh, erm, okay never mind," I said. I forgive her.

"So, have you thought about this"? She said handing me a flyer. "What is it," I asked without even looking at it. She looked so pretty. Some of her hair was pinned behind her head and her fringe covered the left side of her forehead. "Hey think about it," said a guy that walked past our desk. He was addressing Tash, what was he on about? "I wanna help out, sign me up," she replied. That guy hanged out with Mike. She turned and faced me again. "Me, Amber and Imani are helping out with the valentine prom, you wanna?" She smiled at me. "Prom, hmmm, it's not my kinda thing," I answered. "Ohh, okay," she said.

I could feel the urge again, seriously why couldn't I control myself when I was around her. I found myself staring at her lips. What the shit. "Two," I looked at her and said. "Oh no, we have to do half of number one before we can even proceed to number two that way, we will be able to finish at least the first task, that's the major one anyway."

She said flipping through the manual. "No, Tash, I want a kiss," I whispered to her. "What no, Amber, Amber is here and are you crazy, everyone will look," she protested. I smiled I loved how she got all flustered. "I don't care about anyone," I said and took a step towards her. I took her hand in mine.

She looked at me. "Well, you didn't come to meet me in private for our kiss, now this is your punishment," I said. "Wait no, Zain," she protested. I moved my face closer to hers. "Tash, I can't control myself sometimes, I don't know what..." "Ahem," I was cut off by Dr C's annoying fake cough, did I mention it was annoying? "So, I see you get the idea now finish task one, before you leave otherwise I will apply the 10% rule, since it should be handed in before 3.00 pm today."

Seriously Dr. C sometimes ruined it. I looked back at Tash, she smiled at me and walked towards the apparatus table. "Okay let's finish it off quickly, then head back to homeroom, I need a kiss," I whispered and whined like a baby. Whoa dude, you're so desperate for a freaking kiss, what the, I mumbled to myself.

"I'm meeting up with the prom committee at 2.45, so we need to hurry up anyway. "No wait, that's not fair, I have rights." I Protested and picked up the dummy and walked behind her. "What rights, Zain what are you talking about?" She sounded so confused. "You know rights as a boyfriend," I said.

She laughed. "Your laughing, I'm serious," I said a bit loud which made Imani look back at us. "I know you are," she said and winked. "Oi you, turn around," I said and picked up the manual and try to shield us from anyone else looking at us. "Zain, put it down, people are going to think, we're kissing," Tash exclaimed. "I don't care," I said. "Fine let's finish it and go." She said owning up to her defeat. "You're so stubborn," she said. "Only when I'm with you." I said and winked at her. She smiled back at me.

"Wait up, why are you running away from me," I jogged beside her. "Because I want to go to the meeting with the prom committee," She said.

I pulled her into homeroom. "First, a kiss," I said pinning her to the wall. I moved my head and aimed for her lips, but instead they met with her cheek. "Two," she said and smiled. "No, What? No! That's cheating," I said and pinned her hands above her head with one hand. "You're making me inpatient," I said, blowing her fringe to the other side for her forehead. With my other hand, I moved it back into place. "Now, let's try that again," I said and bent my head again, my lips, only to meet with her other cheek.

"Tashaaaaa," I wailed. She started laughing. The corners of my lips curled upwards like they had a mind of their own. "Fine, go to your meeting, go," I said and turning around and folding my arms.

"Awww, okay sorry, sorry, I was only messing Zainy," she said hugging me from behind. Hmm Zainy, how nice did that sound from her mouth. God how I'd love to make her say my name over and over while... Zain focus! "Fine, but I want two extra kisses," I said turning around and placing my arms around her waist.

She smiled. "What," I asked curiously. You never know why girls smile, they smile then it's good, they smile then they are up to something. They smile then it's not good, even their smile just confuses us poor guys. But Tasha was different.

"Hmmm, well you're supposed to be this tough and rough gangster and here you are begging for a kiss." She said and chuckled. I moved her closer. "See what you've done to me," I said rocking her in my arms. "What have I done?" She asked surprised. "Well, firstly, you've got me hooked on your kisses, and then you keep them away from me. That's the biggest injustice in the world." I said looking into her brown eyes. She chuckled. "But seriously, I can't stay away from you. It's never been this way before, and I don't know what to do," I rambled on. I kissed her slowly on her lips and moved away. She tipped toed on her little feet and kissed me again. I smiled at her.

"I'll see you later," she said and walked towards the door. She stopped and turned and looked at me, she smiled. Her eyes were dancing. Wait, she was up to something, I could just tell.

"Tash?" I asked curiously. "Four," she said and walked out the door. Four? What four. Ohhhhhh noo, I just hated it when she did that. I turned around and ran a hand through my hair. "That means I have only one kiss left," I said to myself. "Really dude you've totally lost it." I turned around to see Rayaan look at me weirdly. "Huh what, hmm, do you wanna hang out later on." I asked diverting his attention towards something else.

"Sure, but not I gotta go to the prom committee and pick up your pieces." He said putting his bag on the floor and giving me a sad look. "My pieces," I said moving my head back and getting a clear vision of him. "Yes, your pieces, look Zain, Tasha has joined the prom committee and so has Mike and now I have to Mike Sure he doesn't tell her about your genius bet," I looked at him.

"What! Shit dude, wait why has Mike joined prom committee," I asked weirdly. "There's a whole bunch of reasons but I've got to go before damage is done," he said. "The fuc..." I said and ran behind Rayaan. "Ray, Raaayy," I shouted behind him. "Yea," he shouted back. "I'm coming too," I said and jogged towards him. "You can't, you have to be on the committee but you're not. Sorry, I'll look out for her don't worry." He said giving me a weird look. Shit. Double shit.

Part 32

Two chapters in one day. As a sorry from me. But it's a hell of a chapter.:-)
************************************************************

I waited, and waited and waited, God dammit how long was meeting going to take. If that Mike had said something to Tash, I swear to God I will hang him from his...

Finally the door of the room opened. Everyone had left the room expect for Rayaan, Tash and that ratbag. I walked in to see Mike standing with Rayaan and Tash. "Oh heyyy," Tash said happily. So I'll see you guys on Saturday. "Tash wait," Mike grabbed her wrist. I stiffened. How dare he touch my Tash? I wanted to go over there and beat him to pulp. I was about to act on my instincts when she jerked her arm out of his hands.

"What is it?" She asked in monotone looking at me. "I just wanted a second opinion on the music," he said hopefully. Pathetically desperate, I thought. "That's what the music group is for."

She said and walked over to the door. "You guys coming," she asked and walked out of the door. Ha in your face you dirty ratbag, I smirked at Mike.

"Tash I ran behind her," whispering. "Yea," she looked back at me. I walked up to her walking diagonally and grabbed her hand. "Zaiiinnnn," she said looking back and forth in search of Rayaan. "One kiss, just one," I begged. She laughed "What, Zain what is wrong with you," she thought I was joking. She didn't know what she had done to me.

She didn't have a clue what I was feeling. "You're coming with me, I'll drop you off and then I'll get my kiss," I tried to sound dangerous as I pulled her towards me. But she just flipped me and pulled herself away from me. "I'm going with Rayaan," she said and ran away from my car. "No, Tash No, Taaasssshhh," I said in a perilous voice. She stopped. The smile fell from her face and she looked at me with wide eyes. Shit I didn't have to shout at her, but I couldn't stay with her being so close yet so far. I wanted her with me, like me, my arms were addicted to her. They craved for her every second.

"What, What happened?" Rayaan came rushing out. "Nothing," I said quietly. "Okay." He said looking from me to Tash and then back and forth. "Er, Tasha do you want me to take you home, it's getting pretty late." Rayaan asked moving towards his car and opening the door. She looked from him to me, as if she was asking me something. I felt like a nimrod for shouting at her and I smiled at her feeling like a tool. "Sure she said and opened the passenger seat and Rayaan drove off.

I felt like I had just lost everything. I felt weak and lifeless. I got in the car and banged my head onto the stirring wheel. Why did I have to do that? Sometimes I felt like there was an inner demon within me, maybe there was but I had to tame it in front of her, otherwise I'd lose her. I quickly raised my head up from the stirring wheel. Why the thought of losing her have me all did worked up? Not like I loved her. Or did I? I shook my head. "No way, just no flipping way dude," I said to myself. But it wasn't like it was the first time, I'd thought that. I started my car and sped off. I was speeding but I didn't care. I got home within 10 minutes.

I ran upstairs and flung the door shut. Why the hell was I so angry? "Just calm down." I said throwing myself on the bed. I pulled my phone out and texted her. I waited impatiently for her reply. 10 minutes had past and I was beyond impatient now. I got up and ran down the stairs; I had no idea where I was going. I jumped on my bike and speed away. I was driving in full speed towards her house. My mind was telling me to slow down but my heart was set on something else. It was set on her, seeing her and making her happy again. I braked, my bike screeched as it stopped I jumped off the bike, without looking around, I climbed into her room. "Why does she always have the window open anyone could climb in," I asked myself. "Yea someone as stupid as you Zain," I answered my own question. I closed the window and turned around, my eyes scanning the room. She wasn't here, her phone, lying on the bed. I lay on her bed with my legs dangling over the edge; I wasn't leaving until I spoke to her. Where is she, I throw to myself. I closed my eyes.

"Zain what are you..." I jumped up as soon as I heard her voice. I don't know whether it was because she startled me or if I just jumped for joy on hearing her voice. "Tash, why do you always leave your window open." I said getting up from her bed.

I looked at her and realized why she hadn't finished her sentence. She had gone back into the bathroom. "Tash, why weren't you texting back?" I whispered loud enough. I placed my hands on the door and rested my forehead on it. I sighed; she won't even come out from the bathroom.

"Zain, I, I just showered," she said. Yea that's right put some images in my head and torture me more why don't you. Can you just imagine Tash, with her wet shiny hair, drop of water, dropping from them onto her bare milk like soft shoulders. Tash, smelling like strawberries or was it apples, draped in nothing but a towel, looking... I shook my head. "I'm going crazy," I said to myself.

"And I'll get pneumonia," she answered; her voice shaking. Shit, it just clicked in my head; she was cold and needed to change. "Come out, I won't look, I promise," I assured her. I walked away from the door and put my hands over my eyes. I heard her open the door. "Just tell..." "Not yet," she shouted. "Okay okay," I said not removing my hands. "Now?" I asked couple of minutes later. "Noopppee," She sang.

Gosh, girls take so long. I waited a few more minutes. "What about now," I asked. "Not yet," she replied. I'm not one of patience if you must know. I took and hands off and turned around. "That's not fair," she said sitting up on her bed, dressed in a maroon nightgown. "No! THAT'S not fair" I said pointing at her. Why did she do that to me? She makes me wait for everything. I'm so angry at her right now. I looked away and walked up to her desk. She started to laugh, causing me to turn around and look at her.

I was staring at her. I wasn't even blinking. Her melodious laugh ringing in my ears, her wet hair falling in front of face when she moved her face. And there goes my anger I thought to myself. The left side of my lips curling up into a smile. She threw something at me. "What," I looked at her and threw the cushion back at her. "Why were you staring at me like that," she asked standing up. "We'll I..." I trailed off and looked her up and down and up and down again. Then I looked at her long slender legs. Wow I thought. I closed my eyes and opened then and repeated the process again. I immediately then looked away from her.

She was wearing a really small nightgown. "Gown, that's not a gown, mini gown, stupid gown, stupid hormones and stupid Zain," I mumbled to myself. I looked over my shoulder at her. Dammit I can't even control my eyes. She looked at me and then away, attempting to push her gown down. Was she trying to kill me? May be she already did, because she looked like an angel and I felt like I was in heaven! Cheesy Zain real cheesy, I thought to myself.

I could feel a fire starting to burn inside of me. I turned and sat on her bed. "Tash, I'm sorry," I said without looking at her. She folded her legs and sat beside me. "I'm sorry for making you mad too," she said stroking my forearm. My muscles tensed. She pulled away and looked at me with a different expression, as if she had done something wrong. "Tash, sometimes my temper gets the worst of me," I said looking at her and smiled. "I'm trying to push it, I just need a little bit more time, and I know..." I wasn't able to finish the sentence because she kissed me.

The feeling that I was feeling at the exact moment could not be described. I kissed her back, her lips so soft and full yet they fueled my fire to an extent that I would erupt anytime. I kissed her back with more force and intensity. I licked her bottom lip and she pulled away and laughed. I looked at her and she looked at me, wiping her bottom lip with the back of her hand. "Sorry, it tickles, when you did that," she said smiling.

I reached out to her lips and ran my thumb back and forth along her bottom lip. She smiled. I lay her down and hovered on top of her. She looked at me, excitement shining in her eyes, her eyes telling me to kiss her. So I did. It started out slowly but raced into something more passionate. Her hands moved under my shirt and touching my back, her fingers stimulating me to touch her long slender legs, my hand running over her legs, her hips and her waist.her skin was so amazing, Just touching her was turning me on. The feeling of her skin under my hand was something I wanted to never end. Wait! What?! I thought to myself. I ran my hand back down the same path and slid it back up her legs and hip. My brain was in full swing now. She wasn't wearing any panties. my body wanted me to do something. I wanted to do something, something that I knew she would regret doing so I pulled away and sat on the bed in my previous position.

She sat up and fixed her dress. I lay my head onto her lap and closed my eyes. It felt so nice, peaceful as if I belonged there. She kissed my forehead and tangled her fingers into mine. She was so perfect. "I should go," I looked up at her. I got up and stood by the window. "Why don't you text back when I text you," I looked back her. "I didn't know you texted, I was in the shower," She said looking at her phone. "You know how impatient I get," I said looking at the floor. She walked towards me. "I know, and I'm sorry if I make you wait, but sometimes I can't text back or I have to make you wait, but I'll stop pestering you no," she said hugging me. I know she was right. I hugged her back. "Why do you leave your windows open." I asked looking at it. "I like it open, I'm claustrophobic, you should be happy that it's open, otherwise you wouldn't be here," she said moving her move on my shirt. Was she smelling me? I didn't want to leave her. She let go of me. "Please don't speed now," She said looking at me. "I won't," I said and climbed out the window. I sat on my bike and looked up. Yes, I admit, I was in love with Natasha Abrahams, I thought to myself and smiled. I was in love. With her.
