Love Somebody by Taylor Maddie (top 10 motivational books txt) 📕

we sat. I shrugged, I didn't want to offend Sebastian. He was, how do you say, charming.
"I just hope no one noticed how he was raping me with his eyes." I laughed.
"Hey, the only man allowed to rape you is me. Then again I wouldn't force you Madi. Or would I?" He kissed my cheek playfully and turned back to Trisha who was doodling in her notebook.
"I don't see why he never calls me up? I mean I have horrible grades." Trisha finally says as she adjusted the 'y' on Richy's name.I couldn't help but giggle.
"Come to think of it, I have fantastic grades and on my last test I got an 'A'. It's a bit weird huh?" I noticed and pointed out. Trisha stops doodling for a second and looks at me with a smirk.
"No need to rub it in Madi. We all know your like Einstein's descendent." She says. Gino and I laughed. I was pretty smart.
"May I inform you that Einstein-"
"No, you may not inform me." She interrupts and laughs.
"Care to share what's so funny you three?" Sebastian scolds. We all stayed silent. "I thought not. If I hear another word from you there will be consequences." Once he turned his back we giggled... somewhat quietly.

After class Gino followed me to my locker where he braced his back against it like most boyfriends would do. "You can give people the wrong impression by doing that you know?" I say shoving him from my way. He exaggerates his stagger as he collapsed onto me pushing my body against the wall. His hands were against it and his face was inches from mine. His minty breath once again was dancing across my cheek.
"I don't care. Let them think what they want. What's important is how you feel." He was leading to something and I didn't know what.
"What do you mean, Gino?" I whisper.
"Have you ever imagined what it would be like for us to be together?" He asked. My stomach fluttered and my palms began to get sweaty. I thought for a moment.
"Yes." I reply.
A smile spread across his face.
"And?"
"And what?"
"And would it be weird if we did go out? I mean it's just a question."
"Where is all of this coming from, Gino?"
He sighed. "Madi, you really haven't noticed how I've been acting towards you?"
"Is this the 20 question's game because I want out."
"Fine answer this last question." He leaned in and pressed his lips to mine. They were smooth and soft and I would regret the day I let them go. I found myself closing my eyes and leaning into the kiss even more.
I mean I like Giovanni a lot. For a long time actually but didn't know if he liked me back. That's why I made him my friend. A best friend.
I moaned softly from the intensity of our passionate kiss but I guess that stopped it all. He slowly released the kiss before opening his beautiful brown eyes. "Did you like that?" He utters. His lips were now pink and moist I just wanted to kiss them again and again and again. I nodded. He smiled and walked away leaving me to dwell on what could've been.

Chapter 3

Gino met me at his car after school with a huge grin planted on his face. He brought me in for a hug and a quick peck on the lips.
"Did you miss me?" He teased as he opened the door for me. I slid in and waited for him to join me. Although he start the car.
"What are you waiting for?" I asked. I kind of new why he didn't but I was to nervous not to ask. We texted during school and I agreed to go out with him under one condition. We don't tell my parents and all of our kissing had to be done somewhere other than my house. They knew we were best friends and all but they hated when I was near boy's so all my boyfriends were hidden.
Gino laughed and looked over at me. He brushed a loose blonde hair from my eyes and cupped my face. He ran his thumb across my cheek and pulled me in until our lips met. I longed for his kisses from since he did it by my locker and this was worth the wait. This time I let his tongue scoped my mouth as our lips entwined with each other. His thumb continually brushed my cheeks and the other hand ran up and down my arm. We kissed for a long time until a knock sounded at the window. I regretfully peeled away from him and looked up to find Sebastian staring in at us. How weird could that be?
Gino rolled down the window as Sebastian instantly began scolding us. "You kids aren't supposed to be doing this on school property." He says. "I ought to call your parents."
"No!"I screamed. I couldn't risk getting into trouble for making out with my best friend. I mean how would that sound. "Please Mr. Sebastian. I cant get into trouble for this."
"Sorry Mr. S." Gino called after my plea. Sebastian nodded.
"Alright but you two have a weeks worth of detention in my class after school. At least you'll do something constructive there." I glared up at him. He looked jealous of some sort.
"Ok bye Mr. Sebastian." I called. Gino quickly rolled back up the window as we both sighed in relief.
"Can you believe that man? To say he's supposed to be a cool teacher." Gino jokes. I stared at him as he started the car.
"Remember I have to go to stop in at Walmart on the way home." I say after the quietness filled the car. Gino shrugs and glances over at me.
"Are you ok with all of this?" He asks sincerely.
"Of course I am Gino. Why would you think I wasn't?" I defend. His phone suddenly began to ring.
"Where the hell are you!?" A girl screeched in his ear. "You were supposed to pick me up!" Seems like he's in trouble. Then it hit me. Maybe it was the girl he was supposedly going on a date with to Jake's party. I tried to push that thought from my head because I knew he wouldn't hurt me like that.
"Tabatha, calm down. I got side tracked. I need to think our date over." He says and glances shyly at me.
"What do you mean---" It was hard to hear her seeing that it wasn't on speaker phone.
"I can't go on a date with you. I just remember I promised someone else."
"Who?" I managed to hear her scream. Gino looked at me and smiled weakly. I shook my head trying to tell him not to say anything.
"You don't know her. But you can still come to the party on Saturday. It will be fun." He's so sweet. Not wanting to hurt the poor girl's feelings. They spoke for a couple more minutes. More like her yelling at him until I snatched the phone from his grasp. Hey, he was still driving.
"Leave Giovanni alone!" I screamed and clicked end. I laughed at my possessiveness and Gino well, he seemed to like it.

Chapter 4

I wonder how my possesiveness haven't broken Gino's and mine relationship. I mean whenever a girl talks to him or even looks at him I feel like pulling her hair out. He reassure's me that he'll never leave me but trust me I know Gino. When he has a girlfirend they rarely last and I just hoped if our relationship didn't work out that we would still remain best friends but then again one could only hope.
Jake's friend's were now running all over the backyard like moron's while me and my friends sat up in my room watching movies until the kids left or at least get tired seeing that a few are staying over. I was curled up in Gino's arms on my bed, Trisha and Richy were making out on the floor and I dont even want to know what Cookie and Derrek were doing in my bathroom. There were two other girls there: Anna and Tara but I didn't pay them any mind.
"So, what time did you say this party finishes?" Gino whispers in my ear. He wrapped his arm around my waist tighter and pulled me closer until I felt him

on my lower back.
"Eight or so. You know how nine year old's are. So energetic until night falls." I reply and roll onto my back to face him.
"It's five and I'm pretty sure everyone here is bored out of their heads."
"Well what did you have in mind?" I teased softly pressing my lips to his.
"I had something in mind but I don't want you to make a lot of noise." He winks and pulls me in again.
"Madeline!" My mom screamed. I shoved Gino from me making him fall onto Tara. Mom opened the door and her head popped in. "Oh good. You're not busy. Could you watch Leila for a bit? She's not sleeping and we're about to burst the pinata." I sat up adjusting my shirt and nodded. She brought Leila to me and rested her on the bed.
"She's such a cuty!" Trisha shrieked pulling at my sister's cheeks. I laughed. I mean all of the girls in my family are hotties even for a three month old Leila's light blue eyes, soft pale skin and thin blonde hair attracted all of the guys attention when we went out.
"Takes after her big sister I guess." I boasted.
"Sure did." Gino commented with a wink. So sweet. I craddled Leila in my hands before setting her in her spare cradle at the corner of the room. She instantly fell asleep and I kissed her on her forehead. I wondered why she didn't with mom?
"So Madi you never did tell me when you and Gino started going out. I mean aren't you two supposed to be bff's?"Cookie finally scolds as she and Derrek shuffled from the bathroom. A foul yet sweet smell filled the room. Is that how its supposed to smell?
"We wanted to try something new
