When We Collide √

Chapter 19

The cab parked right on the other street from the parlour and I was glad it didn't park outside the parlour .....I didn't need all that attention

"Couldn't you at least  dress in something that at least shows some of your beautiful skin ?" I heard Kait say but I chose to ignore her .....she knew I had scars on my upper arm and that's why I always dressed in baggy shirts with long sleeves that reach my elbow or past my elbow other than that I liked my comfort

We got out of the government vehicle and Kait paid for both of us since I was going to buy her her froyo

We entered the parlour and I wasn't shocked to see so many hormonal teenagers had already occupied the place....that's always the thing here .....whenever something awesome or new opens in town everyone wants to be there on the day of official launching and based on the amount of teenagers that were there.....I bet this thing had just opened the previous day or during the week

"Damn ....Marcus is here.....," I heard Kait squealing ....sure enough Marcus and some other guys were seated on some booth at the corner

We first had to use hand sanitizer which was at the far right corner of the parlour I walked fast and took a little of sanitizer and rubbed my palms with it ....being the lazy bum I am I gave Kait the money and told her to order me a nutella and lemon with a twist of mango froyo and I literally ran to the farthest booth on the left side

There were so many people.... How on earth was I supposed to hear myself think

Claire had constantly told me not to sit in booths due to my claustrophobia but this was only for a short period of time and Kait was definitely going to sit on my opposite side so that I have open space on my side .....I was going to make it ...Marcus and his group were directly adjacent to my booth but I didn't bother to look at them

Around five minutes passed damn that line was long.....stupid gluttonous teenagers

Just then while I was still thinking about my claustrophobia I heard the parlour suddenly go quiet....maybe some superstar had just entered the place .......I couldn't quite see the door because the booth in front of me was blocking it .....the aura suddenly became quite ....and then I saw Marcus wave his hand to signal someone....maybe the person who'd just entered..... and then I saw a familiar leather jacket make its way to Marcus's booth and then the owner later came into view

Damn it

A familiar pair of striking blue eyes glanced towards me briefly before I tore my gaze away from his

Amell had just entered the parlour and his strikingly commanding aura had suddenly made the whole place quiet .....were they staring at him .....yeah....they probably were .....he was wearing his usual leather jacket .....I wouldn't say usual because I've only seen him twice in it ....over a plain white T-shirt  and black jeans and combat boots ....he looked hot I can't deny that even with the fact that he irritates me

Even for the few seconds I was able to glance at him I saw that his hair was wet and was slightly curlier than it usually is ...the locks fell perfectly over his face while the rest scattered in a messy way around his head ....he walked to where his clique was and took a seat on the opposite side from Logan and Marcus and on the side of Jayden

By now I was trying to slowly sink under the table ....where on earth was Kait ....I wanted to get my froyo and immediately sprint home

Ten minutes had passed and Kait hadn't shown up I was holding onto the little sliver of patience left in me

Maybe I should look at funny memes on my phone that, might be a distraction..... so that is exactly what I did

From my peripheral vision I could see Amell glancing at me every now and then.....I had avoided looking at him since the time he'd sat down .....and now I knew it was going to be hard because he saw me eying him and he smirked.....and then removed his jacket

What the fuck ......this is a ticket to my death....and what sick fucking joke was this 

I couldn't take it....I had to look ....fucking stupid hormones.....just one look ....please karma ....don't make me regret this

So I turned my head and looked at him

Damn ....I think I'm mentally drooling

Those...muscles.....those fucking muscles ....they rippled every time he stretched his arm while trying to explain something and his lips move so swiftly carefully portraying and bringing out each word he said ..... he talked revealing his tongue piercing .....now that I had a good view of his arms I could see how his tattoos snaked all the way to his upper arm....and I liked it....I liked how the black ink contrasted with his tanned skin

There was a snake.....yuck.... and some caligraphed words ....there was a love heart and an arrow...what kind of boy has a love heart for a tattoo....

Justin Bieber......I know this is the second time I'm mentioning him

There were those roman numbers again .....just like on his fingers....that's all I could see from my position and that was on only one of his arms because I couldn't quite see the other ....his eyes sparkled each time he laughed .....and then he turned....he was looking at me

Fuck it he was looking at me ....so much for karma sparing me this time...

A smirk crawled all the way up to his fucking pretty lips ....it was as though this was exactly what he'd anticipated would happen the moment he came here

Do something asshole ......I was still staring ....why can't I tear my gaze away from him......you're never this good at eye contact...... freak

"Ummm....are you staring at.....Am..ell....?" I heard Kait's voice .....she was in front of me holding two cups of froyo and some serviettes

I finally removed my gaze away from my apparent staring contest and I could still feel Amell's eyes on me ....and that stupid smirk on his face

"No.....why would I be staring at him ....," I asked firmly

Kait looked at me questioningly

"Um...either I'm blind or you're stupid.....because you were staring at him .....I've been standing here for like ten seconds ....."

"I was not .....I was looking outside the window ...."

"I could see how you were looking at him......," she said before saying what I'd been afraid of hearing during this whole 'date'

"Something happened between the two of you during your detention .......didn't it ...."

Tan tan taaaaaaaan

Seriously....fuck you karma
