Chapter 2: Tension
*jayden texts fait to meet at a campus cafe and she agrees they chat for a while reconnecting on all they have missed* "You know what I missed about California?" Fait asked, her voice soft as she looked into Jayden's eyes.
"What's that?" Jayden replied, leaning in closer.
"The sunsets." She smiled, her eyes never leaving his.
"Yeah, they were pretty spectacular." Jayden grinned back, his heart pounding in his chest.
they walked in silence for a while until they reached her dorm building. They stood at the entrance, staring at each other for a moment. “Well, good night,” Fait said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Jayden reached out, gently tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “Fait, I can’t stop thinking about you,” he confessed, his voice low and raspy.
Fait looked up at him, her eyes filled with a mix of desire and fear. “Jayden, I’m seeing someone,” she said, her voice barely audible.
Jayden’s grip on her waist tightened. “I know,” he said. “But I can’t help it. I want you, Fait. I’ve always wanted you.”
Fait looked down, her breath hitching. When she looked back up, there was a fire in her eyes. “I want you too, Jayden. God, I want you so fucking bad.”
Without another word, Jayden crushed his mouth to hers, his hands roaming her body like he owned it. Fait moaned into his mouth, her hands fisting his shirt as she pulled him closer.
Jayden's hands slid down to her ass, *she moved his hands away and wished him goodnight and retreated inside her room.
The next day they meet again in the cafe* "I'm sorry about last night, I was out of line" Jayden apologized "It's fine, I want to do this but I'm with someone" Fait replied. "I don't want to be that guy who breaks up relationships" Jayden said "Then don't, just be my friend" Fait replied.
