Should I or Shouldn't I? Chapter 16

Bry's SOS (continuation)

We FINALLY got to the mall, he parked, and before he got out of the car he said "wait here"
before i could ask any questions he came to my door and opened it for me. He was so chivalrous. I smiled at him in appreciation.
He smiled at me, then moved closer to me, he pressed his body on mine, against his car. My heartbeat accelerated 50x faster than it did earlier when he smiled at me.

I felt my cheeks getting hot, and since he was the only person who could see my blush, i put my face down.
"don't tell me your still nervous around me" mark said
I looked up at him to answer, but instead, he hushed me with his lips, and it was magical. The mall, and every car in the parking lot could have exploded or burst into flames, and I wouldn't have noticed. His lips had me in a trance. Every time he kissed me it was like that 1st night, when i first felt his lips on mine. His hands were on my hips, and he began rubbing my torso, and my knees completely disappeared. LITERALLY. I couldn't feel them anymore,so i grabbed onto him to keep my balance. Then he put his hands under my but, and lifted me up so i wouldn't fall.

Then, thank god, he noticed nate and alee pull up, because in that moment the world disappeared to me. he backed away from me and closed the car door, then we walked into the mall. Nate was holding alexis's hands, and then snaked his arms around her waist and kissed her cheek. she was laughing and giggling from his touch.

Mark looked at them, and his eyes were kind of.....sad

Mark's SOS

I looked at nate and my sis all hugged up together. It kills me that i have to hide my relationship with bry, it just isn't right. I wish i could hold her hand right now.
"are you okay?" bry asked
i sighed "yeah, I'm good, just thinking"
"about what?" she asked curiously
"i wish we could do that" i whispered in her ear...i forgot that, that gave her chills when i did that. She closed her eyes, and bit her lip when she felt my breath on her ear
"sorry bry" i said
"it's cool" she looked at nate and alee, and the same expression that was on my face was now on hers

We all finally got in the mall, and alee immediately grabbed bry and pulled her into bath and body works. then Nate asked me "what's wrong bro, smile or something, damn, you look depressed as hell"
"nah i'm good" I said
"man, we been friends since we were 2, so when something's wrong, i know, trust me" nate said
"it's just that, even though me and bry just started going out, like yesterday, it's annoying that we can't act like a real couple in public"
"oh man, i'm sorry about that, do you want me to talk to alexis about this whole thing, maybe she'll listen to me" he proposed

"no man, don't worry about it, it's cool"

When the girls FINALLY came out of b&bw we walked around all other stores. then we saw this store especially for fitted caps and at the same exact time me and bry said
"OH, SNAP, THE FITTED CAP STORE!".....we both smiled at each other, I loved the way she looked in fitteds, there's something we have in common.

we both ran and saw this gray, black and white plaid cap, we both grabbed it at the same time.
"oh, uh you want this one?" i asked
"umm no, take it, you can get it" she replied
"NO, if you want it, than get it, it's cool" i said
"I refuse"
"it's not my size, it's okay, i don't want it"
"damn, it's not mine either" she replied
"BRY, I know what your doing, just get the hat, if you want it"
"NO,mark seriously, this isn't my size, i need a 7" she retorted
"oh really, that's my size too" i said
we decided to look for another hat, but we kept glancing at the gray black & white plaid one. Both of us really wanted that hat.
"im mad as hell that the hat was neither of our size." she said
"yea, me too, let's get another one"
she found this gray cap with pink stars all over it. I found a gold and blue cap, and I loved it. When i was about to pay for her cap, she wouldn't let me, she even put them back when i gave the cashier the money. Then when i the cashier gave me my change she pulled out her money and bought it.
Myself, nate, bry,and alee went to a bunch of other stores, then to the food court.

Bry and Alee were walking ahead of us, and I was walking behind with nate, when I noticed some dude was staring at bry. I didn't get jealous because i knew she was mine. But then, he got up and walked toward her, and not even on no homo shit i had to admit, he was a pretty decent looking guy. He was wearing skinniez a blue v-neck, and Adidas, with a blue cap on. When i saw him hug her, i instantly got defensive

Bry's SOS

When we were in the food court, my friend Joshua from last year walked up to me. He was one of the first people i got cool with freshman year, other thank michael and kim, and lex.
"yo bry, wassup, long time no see girl" he hugged me tight. I just hugged him back, giggled and said

"hey joshy, what's been up with you sweetheart"
"nothin much, i'm comin back to Vhhs for the rest of my sophomore year. and my junior and senior"
"for real, yes, because you smooth dipped on me this year, left me with these crazy, you were the only normal friend I had." i said
"wassup alexis how you been, are you and nate finally together?"
"yea, we are bro, how you been" alexis said
"can't really complain" josh replied

I was contemplating whether I should introduce josh and mark, or would that look weird,. I didn't care, mark was my undercover boyfriend, so he does have the right to be properly introduced to all of my guy friends that he doesn't know. So i called him and nate over, and mark had this mean expression on his face.
"nate, you know josh, from last year, he went to our school" i said.
Maybe if I introduced nate 1st it wouldn't seem weird when i introduced mark.
"yea, you was a freshy, wassup bruh" nate said
"im good im good" josh replied
"Uh-Mark, this is my friend josh, you probably saw him before, last year, at school" i said nervously
"Yea, i saw you before, wassup" mark said
"nothin much bruh, nice to meet you" josh said
"ard, josh, we were just about to leave, so ima see you at school...monday right?"
"yea, that's ma first day" he replied
"oh okay, well...see you" i said. but as soon as i walked away, he called me back
"BRY WAIT!" he shouted
"huh" i said
"what's ya number, so i could text you, and call you" he asked.
"it's 8563213342" i told him.
"ard, thanks, bye, i'll call you" then he kissed my cheek (as usual)
i could feel marks eyes on us, right after that moment, but joshua was puerto rican. Kissing someone on the cheek was a part of hispanic culture, that's what they do to greet each other, it was nothing major....right?

Mark's SOS

me and bry have been dating for about a week now, and i love it. It feels good to call her mine. I accomplished my goal. Our school was having a sophomore honor-roll student trip. and of course, my girlfriend is a genius, so she would be attending. The trip was a weeklong, they would pack up their homework, and class work they had for that week, pack a weeks worth of clothes, and then drive to virginia. I was a bit sad that bry was leaving and i wouldn't get to see her for a week, but my sister is going, and seeing nate sexless for a week was going to be funny as hell.

Bry walked into spanish class, she had on a long sleeve dress that was short-cut. her legs were covered with black designed tights, and she wore knee high ugg boots. she looked gorgeous.

"hey gorgeous" I said.
"wow, it's been a minute since you called me that, i like the sound of it" she smiled
i walked over to her, and kissed her cheek, we were the first and only ones in class so no one saw. Then, that josh guy walked into our class, and I immediately got pissed. It might sound like I'm being extra but i know for a fact that he likes my girl. It shows. The whole week since bry gave him her number they've been texting non-stop, she giggles at all of his messages. I didn't ask her about it because I didn't want to sound like the Jealous Boyfriend. But it did kind of bothers me. Not that i cared if she texts or talks to other guys, but this josh dude. He's sneaky, and I know he's trying to steal her. well not technically because to everyone, she's not my girlfirend

"Hey Joshy!" she exclaimed. She jumped up and hugged him, he wrapped his hands around her waist and kissed her cheek. The rest of the class walked in, and they all said "awwww" when they watched the entire moment. and she blushed

WAIT, SHE BLUSHED...SHE..BLUSHED...FOR HIM..ARE YOU FUCKN SERIOUS!
Josh couldn't see that she was blushing because of her brown skin, but i always noticed when she did, i knew the exact place to look on her cheeks.
"wassup mark" josh said.
"wassup" i simply replied

They both sat in front of me, and started talking about the "Honor Roll" trip
"it's my first day here and I've already been invited on the trip, I'm hype as hell, I'm glad i kept my grades up in my other school" josh said.
I panicked.
