My Bestfriend's Brother Shouldn't Know How I Taste novel Chapter 316

Chapter 316

Arabella Rivera

This isn’t what I meant by ‘give me a sign

Just realizing I had been staring at him like a creep with my mouth agape, I quickly close it. I was desperate but not that desperate for a ride………. Okay, I was definitely more desperate than usual.

Still, getting in Haiden Cross’s truck with not so much as a distance between us was not something I’d willingly agree to.

Besides, if I came to school with the guy who makes a panty drop faster than a celebrity then I’d be just drawing more attention towards me. I had enough as it is already.

“No thank you.” I regained my composure and fixed my bag on my shoulder.

I couldn’t believe he just witnessed everything. How embarrassing. Why hadn’t I noticed his truck in the driveway?

Haiden ignores my words, gets in his truck and turns on the ignition. I move out of the way, striding towards the sidewalk. The truck drew closer and started to slow down beside me until it comes to a stop.

I took a step back, gauging to see what he’d do next. Haiden rolls down the passenger side window and does not bother to spare me a glance. “We don’t have all day, Bella.” He says smoothly, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. He face front, not moving his eyes off the dead road ahead.

I cross my hands over my chest. “I don’t catch rides with strangers.” I voiced out, freezing when his brown eyes suddenly fall into mine. I dragged in a sharp breath, shocked that he had rendered me speechless with just one look.

He stares at me, studying my features as though looking for something. As though, I was the puzzle he couldn’t seem to put the pieces together.

“Suit yourself.” His gruff voice came out unbothered as he steps on the gas and drives away, leaving an irritating screeching sound in its wake.

My mouth parts in shock as I stared at the driving black truck. Straightening my spine, I reigned in my cool and scowled.

“Asshole!” I shriek, stomping my foot in a childish manner. I was very much happy no one was around to witness my

tantrum.

Did I just miss a possible ride to school?

Fuck, I guess I did.

My stomach tightens uncomfortably when the truck came to a screeching halt Then Haiden does something even more confusing, he reverses until he is back beside me.

Had he heard me call him an asshole?

I was tongue–tied, frozen and completely bemused by his actions. Haiden sighs, turning to face me when he kills the engine.

Come on Bella, by this rate we’re both going to be late

He has a point. A very good point.

Still, my pride wouldn’t let me admit that I did in fact needed his ride if I wanted to survive Mr. Boyd’s glare.

Narrowing my eyes, I scan my eyes over the black spotless truck that has probably gone to places that were illegal and has

seen way too much to consider legal. “Usually guys with dark trucks are the ones many should stay clear of. You know the whole kidnapping thing…..is still a thing you know?”

Haiden looks at me with a lost expression before he rolls his bottom lip between his teeth and bites down on it to hold in his chuckles. “Are you serious right now?”

I raise a brow, standing on my tiptoes to look a little more intimidating. ” Do I not seem serious to you?”

His eyes quickly fall to my thighs and back to my face. “No. But you do look cute trying to act tough. Word of advice princess, tiptoeing won’t get you anywhere other than a ballet recital.”

My jaw ticks as heat travel from my neck to settle on my cheeks. I hated that his words made me blush. I can’t remember the last time I did.

What seemed to even be more confusing was that, Haiden was intentionally complimenting me. It was very strange and I oddly, liked it.

If Gwen was here she’d probably be squealing in my ear and talking about a damn baby shower by now.

Gwen……

This would be my chance to ask him about what transpired between him and Gwen in the cafeteria.

“So are you going to get in or should I just leave you to fry in the sun alone?” His thick dark brow raise and by the tip of his mouth barely stopping from lifting, I knew he was on the verge of laughing.
