Stuck between two bad boys

I didn’t know what I could do because at that point, Devin still had his palms around my waist and my feet were dangling in the air. It almost seems like he had forgotten he was carrying me because I was light.

“Excuse me!?” I wiggled my legs as I looked down to see his face.

He still had an angry reaction on his face, there was something more but I couldn’t tell because his hair was covering his face and he turned and walked away immediately he dropped me. He went back to his previous position and stood still, leaning on the wall with his legs crossed and arms folded across his chest.

I turned to look at Xavier who had the most dreadful look on his white face, it even look like he would snap Devin’s neck within the twinkle of an eye. He moves closer with his shoulders high like they could no longer lap beside him.

“X-Xa Xavier?” I stuttered “I needed to keep the books up” I moved back.

I didn’t know what I was scared of, either the murderous look on his face or the fact that he seems to be scowling at Devin who in return had the same dreadful look.

“Xavier we can go now” I walked to him with my shaking legs “I only needed to get on top” I stood in front of him and Devin.

From above my head, they glared at themselves. If not for that I squeezed myself in between them, I am sure they would have been throwing punches in each other’s faces by now.

I felt so small between them, it even looked like they could ignore and crush me if they move closer and no one would notice.

“Xavier” I placed my palms on his hard chest “Let’s keep this up” I pointed at the books.

I thought Xavier would not answer me or might want to ignore me, that is what he would have done any other time especially when I need his help most. But to my surprise, Xavier moved away from us and walked to the books.

I heave a sigh of relief as he moved away, I didn’t even know I was holding my breath until he left. I felt someone behind me and realized I am still very close to Devin.

“Sorry” I muttered and moved away from him.

My arms were around my body as I hugged myself tight not knowing what else to do at that moment.

Xavier didn’t bother to look back at me, as he packed the heavy books together and threw them up. He stared at it for a while as if waiting to see if they would fall, but as nothing happened, he walked back to Devin and smirked.

“Keep your bloody hands to yourself” Xavier poked his chest and walked away.

Again, he didn’t bother to check if I was still in the same spot or actually moved. His steps were large and I knew I won’t be able to match them even if I followed him so I stood still. When I noticed he had gone, I turned to meet Devin’s scornful gaze.

“What are you waiting for?” He asked before I could say anything.

I had wanted to apologize on the behalf of my brother, but with the way he was glaring at me, I couldn’t breathe well much more talk to him. I just stood still, trembling like a wet leaf before I felt myself been yanked from the waist.

A surprised gasp escape my mouth as I felt been carried and thrown over Xavier’s. My stomach bumped into his hard shoulder and I began to wiggle.

“What are you doing?” I said in a whisper getting embarrassed by the way Devin was looking at me “Put me down!” I ordered and wiggled more as he walked out of the library “Let me go you son of a…. Urghhh!!!” I yelled in raw frustration and began to hit his back.

“You know how much I hate to do this” Xavier said as he adjusted me on his left shoulder.

He kicked the school main door open and closed it with his feet after going out. His steps were large and fast and I couldn’t stop wiggling as he placed his right hand on my waist. His grip was strong that I am sure I won’t be able to free myself.

Although it was past the closing hour like three hours ago but they were few students hanging around. The moment they sight me on Xavier’s shoulders they burst into laughter, some even began to take videos and pictures.

“You are embarrassing me Xavier” I covered my face “please put me down” I pleaded.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Xavier didn’t answer me, he just opened the car, threw me inside, and walked over to the other side of the car. His expression was stern and he refused to look at my face as he started the car and drove off the school.

“Xavier nothing happened” I whispered after a long period of silence “Xavier!” I touched his arm but he glared at me making me remove my palm immediately “It’s not what you think”

Initially, I didn’t know what I was apologizing for or why I felt so scared. The fact that I am seeing Xavier seriously angry and not while I pranked him made me want to jump through the open window of the moving car.

The real problem is that I have no idea why he was angry despite the fact that nothing happened. He only was Devin lifting me up to keep the books and nothing else.

Devin on the other side must have something for against my brother. The way they stared at each other like they were not supposed to even be close or the way Xavier glared at Devin’s palms on my waist had begun to illustrate a different story entirely.

Soon, we arrived at our house and Xavier rushed inside without saying anything. I heard our room door bang followed by a low groan.

“What is going on?” I asked myself as I sank on one of the couches.

This is strange, extremely strange!

First, I thought my stepbrother wanted to kiss me, then the scary bad boy tried to help me and now my brother is mad at… who knows?

I can’t even tell if he is mad at me or Devin.

“He is such a Devil” I groaned as I stretched more on the couch “This can’t be happening”

After sitting restlessly for about thirty minutes, I stood up and began to walk around the sitting room as many things began to flow through my small mind. I fear Xavier might call Mum and Dad to tell them that he caught me with a boy, holding my waist!

Dad had always screamed NO BOYFRIEND each day I tell him how I love Korean boys, it’s obvious he doesn’t want me to be in a relationship now much more a senior bad boy.

Well, I don’t know if he is really bad but, he has tattoos on his skin and looks bad too. Kids our age never get to draw on their skin, not even almost scary things like a female head, except they don’t live with their parents.

I have to talk to Xavier before he puts me in trouble so with the cutest pout I can make, I head to our room.

“Go away!” Xavier yelled immediately I knocked at the door.
