The Bad Boy I Love

Chapter-12

Blake's P.O.V

Crystal. She's the only thing on my mind lately. She has this incredible ability to drive me crazy, and I find myself willingly falling into the madness. That day, when I saw her in the most vulnerable state, it shattered my heart into a million pieces. To witness her like that, I felt an ache that I never knew existed.

Now, whenever I think about her, my face involuntarily breaks into a stupid smile. It's like the mere thought of her presence fills me with warmth and an indescribable joy. She's become the melody in my thoughts, the reason behind the smile that refuses to fade.

"What are you thinking? Wait. Let me guess," Noah had that intense thinking face.

"Gotcha. Crystal. You're thinking about babydoll, right?" he said, sporting a sly smile.

"No," I replied real quick. He burst into laughter, and I had this scowl on my face.

"You really like her, man," he said, grinning like he just uncovered the biggest secret. My eyes went wide, but I recovered soon.

Like? Do I really like her? I don't know. My day lights up just by seeing her face. She's like my sunshine. Sunshine? Where did that come from? I guess I really like her. I again had this goofy smile on my face.

"You're whipped," Noah was laughing hysterically.

"No one gets to know this," I warned him sternly. He sealed his lips and threw the imaginary key away. Our secret was safe, locked away in the vault of Noah's amusement.

Next day, school was as boring as watching paint dry. I was glad when lunchtime finally arrived. That meant I could catch a glimpse of my sunshine. My sunshine? This girl really works wonders on me.

And there she was. My smile dropped a bit when I found her laying her head on Matt's shoulder. I knew they were close friends from diaper days, but I couldn't help but feel a pang of something I couldn't quite put my finger on. Maybe jealousy? Nah, couldn't be.

She shifted her head to my shoulder after he left to get food and suddenly, the sun was shining again.

I was happy now that the princess was laying her head on my shoulder. I pulled her close to me.

She decided to tie her hair into a ponytail again, and I promptly removed the band.

"Don't," I said sternly. She rolled her eyes.

"Awww, you guys are cute together," the twins gushed. I smirked.

"No, they don't. We only look cute together," Noah whined. I shot him a pointed look.

Soon the bickering started. Who likes Crystal more.

"Sure, no one likes this drama queen," we turned to see Cassandra. She sat on my lap. I was getting mad, but I could see my sunshine was fuming. I enjoyed that sight. What amused me was that she stood up against Cassandra. Sunshine wasn't having it. She pulled Cassandra away from me, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.

"Who are you to tell that? Are you his girlfriend?" Cassandra asked, smirking.

"Yes," she said calmly. I was grinning from ear to ear. Noah was controlling his laughter.

"Prove it. Kiss him. Now," Cassandra challenged.

My heart skipped a beat as I glanced at her, wondering how she'd handle this unexpected twist. Without missing a beat, she leaned in and whispered "Sorry for what's about to happen" before pressing her lips against mine. Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and I couldn't believe the turn of events.

Sunshine pulled me up and captured my lips. Her lips were so soft. I pulled her close to me, and the kiss was passionate. When she pulled away, I couldn't help but feel a sense of longing. "Never be sorry for doing this." I whispered and missed the warmth of her lips on mine, and in that moment, it felt like time was playing a cruel joke, keeping us apart even for a brief moment.

Cassandra left, stomping her feet. Noah was smirking. I shot him a playful glare. Soon, the bell rang, and Crystal left for class.

I couldn't help but think about her the whole day, the kiss. I really wanted to kiss her again. She's incredibly beautiful and pure. The thought of my Crystal with someone else was unbearable. I made a silent promise to myself: I'll make you mine soon, princess.

I have to ask her out soon before someone else does. The thought of me and her together brings a smile to my face. I'll always protect and take care of her. In the future, we'll have little versions of us running around. Okay, this is going way too far. I may sound like a girl. But who cares.

I will make you mine one day and will never let you go. It's a promise, princess.
