He seemed to not have heard of me, or probably he was just ignoring my protest. Sigh. I was about to open my mouth again to complain but my jaw literally dropped and my eyes grew wider when I felt him nuzzling his nose to the nape of my neck affectionately.
I literally felt my whole body shudder from the sparks his touches where sending. I was spazzing out and melting in his arms then he rubbed his nose again slightly lower now to the exposed skin of my shoulder. My body’s senses were heightened up a notch as he burrows his face into the crook of my neck with his prickly stubbles grazing my skin making me shiver more and my stomach twisting in and out of knots.
“You smell good”, he whispered casually but even how casual that was like it was nothing to him, to me, it was torturing me sweetly. DARN YOU GERALD FOR TEASING ME!
I could not say anything, totally left me speechless of why Gerald was acting like this. I was comfortably uncomfortable of what we were caught up in. Heck, I’d be a hypocrite if I said I did not like how his warmth was enveloping me; because if I was being extremely honest, I could be stuck in his arms forever like this if I got my way.
He tugged me closely into him, trapping me like I was only his, and I inhaled a deep breath of pleasure, stifling a moan with his rubbing his leg against mine. I elbowed him in the gut though to let him know that I was not liking this (but inside, I super was). He chuckled in my ear, with his low rough sort of laugh, and my pulse shot up with just how his soothing sound shook every inches of my body.
I was not in the mood to argue with him as I could feel my lack of sleep taking its toll to my body. Tired and giving up, I closed my eyes drifting myself to sleep again with a sly smile visibly plastered on my lips. Darn you Mr effing Anderson.

“Why do you even have to drag us around La Mesa!”, I hissed at Eric with a raised voice as I was massaging my calf unsuccessfully.
Eric had all of us trek the hundreds of acres of land at the park. Had I known we would be doing it all day, I would have stayed here at the campsite. My legs were killing me!
“God Sarah, you are fat”, he laughed, standing in front of me handing down a cup of water.
I snatched the cup from his hand glaring at him then quickly chugged the water down like my tongue was on fire.
“Have I told you that you are sexy when you’re angry?”
I choked at my own spit upon hearing what Eric said and felt some water backing up through my nose. “What?”, I told him panting for some air with tears prickling in my eyes from the burning sensation the water had left.
“I said, you are so crazy when you’re angry”, he said with his eyes wide, running his hand through his hair.
“I thought so”, I laughed as I placed my half-full cup beside me with him chuckling too though it came out a little bit sarcastic from him.
I was sure I have heard him say something else but… oh well, I guess with Dave and Gerald’s presence around me, I thought this friend of mine had fallen into that same category as well: flirty players.
Eric laughed a little then cleared his throat. He looked at me earnestly and whispered, “Are you okay though?”
I nodded at Eric then continued massaging my calf that was throbbing as heck. The pain was just going up and down through my lower legs and it was really killing me. I must be really fat for not even surviving the walk like the others! I actually felt a little bit self-conscious with the other girls just wearing tank tops and short shorts flaunting those man-drooling fit body while I, on the other hand, had my normal denim shorts and light pink-white chequered shirt on. Such a beautiful sight of me…not!
