Chapter Forty

**Oliver West**

The moment we reached where his expensive-looking car was parked outside, he let go of my arm.

"What are you doing? What do you want!" I seethed, massaging my arm to resume the blood circulation that his tight grip had caused.

He wrapped his arm around my shoulders, forcing me to face him and I tried to read whatever was going on in his devilish mind but like always, it was perfectly unreadable.

"I’m taking you to school, didn’t I already tell you that?"

He was taking me to school? As smooth as his words sounded, it shot a wave of fear through me because I would be stupid to believe that it was this simple.

There was nothing simple about Kieran. Every act was simply a means to torture me.

"I don’t want to go w-with you," I stuttered, taking a step backward.

"And I wasn’t asking, I’m telling you to get in the car with me," he spoke, motioning at his car.

It looked beautiful but I felt as if he had just opened the gates of hell and was forcing me to enter and burn with the flames.

At my hesitation, an irritated scowl spread across his features. "Did you forget that sexy video of yours so soon?"

Shit. Sexy indeed.

"Why do you still keep that video? Just delete it. I already agreed to do w-what you asked of me," I squeaked under his heated gaze, the thought of him watching that video shivered my body with anger and embarrassment. Anyway, at least he wasn’t gay, nothing about that would entice him. It wasn’t the first time he’d even seen me naked, we used to bathe together as kids.

Maybe it wasn’t so bad...

A brief smirk spread across his face. The evil one I had come to know.

"Delete them? With the way you keep defying me? I think not. Get in the car, Oliver, I won’t say it again unless you want to become extremely popular"

I entered the car right then and watched as he closed the door before heading toward the driver’s seat.

There wasn’t enough time for me to admire the interiors, right now, it felt like I was sitting on a pile of nails.

He started the engine, then suddenly leaned over toward me. Too close.

I froze as his face came dangerously close to mine, his chest almost brushing against my shoulder as he reached for my seatbelt.

"You forgot this," he murmured, his voice low and husky.

The scent of his cologne filled my senses and I could feel the warmth radiating from his body, my breath caught in my throat as our eyes met and for a moment, neither of us moved.

His gray eyes seemed to darken as they slowly lowered to my lips and lingered there, making my heart pound so fast I was sure he could hear it in the quiet space between us.

Then just as suddenly, he pulled away and clicked the seatbelt into place, his expression going blank again as if nothing had happened.

"There," he said coolly, settling back into his seat.

The engine roared to life and I sat there trying to catch my breath, my heart still racing from his closeness.

"Hope you enjoy the ride because every day from now on I will be taking you to school."

His words left me staring at him with a horrified look as dread pit in my stomach.

Every day??

Like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday... wtf?!

The entire drive to school was uncomfortable and tense, with me pressed against the passenger door trying to put as much distance between us as possible while he drove in silence, occasionally glancing at me with an unreadable expression that made my stomach flip.

The whispers.

The stares from everyone.

This was the very moment I had been dreading from the moment he had insisted I enter his car, more like blackmailed me to get inside.

Popular Kieran Morrison drove nobody Oliver West to school and I could practically read the headlines in their faces and foreheads.

’What is he doing with him? I thought they hated each other?’ one of the girls in our class spoke loud enough to reach my ears. ’Oh no, what’s going to happen to my Williver ship?"

WHAT THE HECK??! My gaze snapped to see who said that and I saw Raya. "No, I love Kiliver more, the bad boy and the bullied nerd, total chemistry! You know I would die for any enemy to lovers trope" The girl next to Raya exclaimed.

I scooted an inch away from Kieran because why would he even want to be seen with me? Wasn’t it bad for his image?

I also wanted to scream, I was a real life person, they couldn’t ship me like this. And why the hell did my name always end the ship? In their eyes they already picked a seme and uke? And I was....??

NO WAY!

A gasp escaped my mouth when a lazy arm hung about my shoulders.

"As my puppet, you aren’t allowed to walk away from me, or be in front of me" Kieran whispered, his gaze fixed on mine.

I gulped down because the tightness in my stomach was creeping its way to my throat and we were standing so close, too intimate for my peace of mind.

Then I met a very familiar gaze glaring at us, more like glowering hard at me as her popular friends around her whispered furiously.

Amanda.

’You didn’t tell us you broke up with Kieran, and what is that loser doing with him?’ Hailey’s high-pitched tone sounded high above others.

My legs threatened to give way to the growing tension.

"Kieran, it’s not good to be seen with me, your g-girlfriend won’t like i-it..." I stuttered, trying to wiggle away from the hand he draped around me.

"Stay still, besides she’s not my girlfriend, you are now my lover" he spoke with a mocking gleam in his gaze.

Why was he so blockheaded?

He was succeeding in creating more enemies for me, to make my life even more miserable than it already was.

"Kieran, stop it, that is a lie we both know very well, I’m not your boyfriend, and I’ll never be! What do you gain from making others think otherwise?" I said in frustration. He didn’t even like boys, everyone knew this, they would probably think I was the one throwing myself at him again.

He let go of my shoulders abruptly, but before I could even heave out a relieved sigh, he pulled me back toward him and this time his arm was draped around my waist.

Shock held me immobile, did he have any idea what he was doing??

"They are talking about you, we should give them something to talk about, shouldn’t we?"

He inched his face closer to mine and my heart nearly stopped.

"Kieran, no,"

The whispers around us grew even louder and I swore I saw some people taking out their cellphones.

"Let go! You are creating a scen..."

The rest of my words were swallowed when his lips slammed against mine.
