Chapter 6

"Pass me the physics textbook Josey" Kemi muttered to the boy beside her who smiled happily.

They weren't having any classes today so the class teacher rearranged the whole class for today which resulted in this disaster, Josey sitting beside her.

"Just give the girl her textbook fishteeth" Vicky insulted from the chair right in front of Josey.

"Shut up Vicky" Josey said.

"Shut up Pea brain and FYI... It's Victoria to you... Dumb tool" Victoria said making Josey cower in shame.

"Leave him alone Vicky... And you, Josey... Where's my textbook?"

"I forgot it" he said and Kemi groaned.

"Just go and get it" she pointed at the door and held her head in the other hand.

"Come with me" she rolled her eyes and stood up, following Josey.

"Where did you forget it? " she asked as they stepped out of the class.

"The library" he said and she rolled her eyes.

"We're going downstairs now! Ugh! " she stomped her feet on the floor while Josey just admired her. He loved her, all the girls loved him ..except Victoria and her... Why?.

"Good morning Senior Fadekemi and Senior Joseph" a junior greeted and walked past them as they walked down the stairs.

"I like your hair" Josey reached out to touch her hair that was held in two buns on each side of her head.

"And I like your hands away from it" she said without looking at him and his hands dropped in shame as the continued down the stairs.

"Do you... Do you like someone.. Someone else?" he asked and Kemi froze, her brain and eyes filled with the only person she could think about.

"Max? " her voice was barely a whisper but he heard it.

"Bambino" he whispered from the principal's door, she was better than he imagined in her school uniform.

"Is that her?" Dante asked beside him and all he did was nod.

"Who is Max?" Josey asked,?still staring at her till she pulled him and took off.

"Chill Kemi, wait" Josey tried to look behind him but she was a little too fast.

"Shut up and run Joseph... Please" he stared into her eyes and ran faster, they ran into the janitors closet and shut the door, breathing hard.

"Will you now tell me why we're running?" he stared at Kemi who was now sweating with fear in her eyes and her blue shirt was now sticking to her skin.

"Where the fuck did she go?" Josey heard voices behind the door and Kemi stiffened against him.

"Merda...your girl is a runner" Dante breathed and looked around while Max spilled colourful swear words.

"I'll kill that cazzo that touched my girl" Max gritted his teeth and kicked the nearest door making it open.

"Oh my God" she gasped behind the door and Josey's eyes widened in 'realization'.

"Did you get involved with killers or something?" he whisperyelled oblivious to the opening door.

"Shh" she pressed her index finger to her lips as she hoped she could gulp down her fear.

He was here, the man who tortured her dreams for two days, the man she couldn't even get away from... He followed her.

"How am I supposed to keep quiet!... There are killers after us in our own schoo-" she pressed her palm against his lips, her body against his. His eyes widened while she looked at the door that that opened a while ago but it was oddly quiet outside.

Josey wrapped his arms around her waist and she glared at him.

"Take your fucking hands off me Josey" she growled at him and he held his hands up in surrender.

"Shhhh...okay?" he nodded and she pulled away from him.

"Max?" she questioned again, hoping it wasn't one of the dreams she'd had in the space of one day.

"Who the hell is Max?" Josey asked.

"Stop yelling Max...God, you're infuriating... If you just hadn't left the stupid physics textbook in the library we wouldn't be here so this.. " she wove her two hands around and then pointed at Josey.

"All of this is your fault!" she finally yelled making the door open.

"Bambino?" Max opened the door and Kemi turned to him with wide eyes

"M-max?" Max watched his little beauty, her hair was divided into two buns making her look so much younger.

"You left" he walked closer and took her in his arms, taking in her scent. Her back was wet with sweat and the front of her shirt was transparent from the sweat.

"Let me go Max...I'm in school you know" she pushed him off and pulled Josey away.

"You're involved with the Italian mafia? " he yelled and he felt a hot and stinging sensation on his cheek

"What was that for?"

"To shut you up.. Let's go back to class" she was about to walk away when she felt a familiar hold on her hands... Gentle and rough at the same time.

"Cara wait...please, we need to talk" she turned to him and noticed the dark bags under his perfect face.

"This... Cazzo has to leave" he told her, facing Josey who looked like he wanted to shit himself.

"Josey...go get my physics textbook" he nodded and ran off.

"Where's your friend?" she asked, noticing there was another man with them before.

"Unlike that Cagna...he knows when he needs to leave" he said and bent down to her neck, taking in her scent.

"Why did you leave baby?" his hold on her had become even more possessive.

"N-none of your business Max"

"I wanna punish you baby" he kissed her neck lightly and she clung to his shirt, tilting her head backwards.

"I wanna punish you... But I won't" he held her chin in his hands and pressed his forehead against hers.

"The thought of punishing you, excites me and scares me at the same time.. Hitting you scares me.. Making you cry scares me" he told her and watched as she bit the edge of her lips.

"Don't think too much about it baby... Just dinner.. Do dinner with me and I'll leave you after that... If you want" he begged and placed his lips on hers.

"Please?" He begged and she shook her head.

"What?... Why?"

"I have things to do tonight Max" he felt her breathe into his lips.

"Like going to a club and fucking random men?" her brown eyes that were focused on his lips were now focused on his cold eyes, threatening to spill tears.

"Maybe you should go away Max... I've got exams to prepare for" she pushed him off and ran in the opposite direction of her class.

"Fuck!" he groaned and heard his Best friends chuckle.

"You've got yourself a handful" Dante said as he stared in the direction where she ran to.

"You should probably go and check her" Dante patted his shoulder and Max followed her.

He pushed open the female restroom and thankfully it was empty, except his bambino who was bawling her eyes out on the floor.

"Kemi" he knelt in front of her and took her hands in his.

"I'm sorry okay... I just.. I just tend to say shit when I'm angry okay?... I'm a bloody idiota" she just stared at him.

"Bambino" a new round of tears left her eyes and he hid her face into his chest.

"I'm sorry... You don't have to go on a date with me okay?" she pulled away from him and glared at him.

"Go away Max"

"Bambino please just one date and I'll stay away from you... If you can even resist me later" he wiggled his eyebrows making her smile.

"I would if I could Max... I just have a lot of things to do at home.. Like cook.. Read, I have two brothers who are still in primary school. I just can't leave all of that for a single date" she pouted and he nodded, he didn't understand but for her? Anything.

"Okay baby... I understand but this is not over not till you're mine" he stood up and held up a hand for her and pulled her up.

"I missed your lips" he lifted her and placed her on the counter.

"Me too" he smiled and pressed his lips against her waiting ones, her hands went around his neck, pulling him closer and she wrapped her her legs around each of his leg.

They fought for dominance with their tongues and she won, he'd let her..again. With utter perfection she ran her tongue along his lips and he pulled away unable to help the thoughts that sieved their way into his brain. He couldn't help it, her kisses were like drugs to him.

"You should get to class Kemi" he kissed her lips swiftly and pulled away.

"Okay.. Bye" she was close to the door when he pulled her back.

"You should be more careful bambino, I don't want those hormonal teenage animals looking at what's mine" he grunted, taking off his black suit jacket her draped it over her shoulder?to cover her almost transparent shirt.

She walked away in a suit jacket that looked like it swallowed her while he stood there.

"Who the hell taught her how to kiss so well?" he wondered out loud with a?tent in his suit pants and his hands in his pockets.
