Destroy Me Gently:Ex-Enemy Becomes My Lover! Chapter 40: A new ship

Chapter Forty

**Oliver West**

The mont 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 resu the blood circulation that his tight grip had caused.

He wrapped his arm around my shoulders, forcing 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 to school? As smooth as his words sounded, it shot a wave of fear through because I would be stupid to believe that it was this simple.

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

"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 ," 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 to enter and burn with the flas.

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 ," I squeaked under his heated gaze, the thought of him watching that video shivered my body with anger and embarrassnt. Anyway, at least he wasn’t gay, nothing about that would entice him. It wasn’t the first ti he’d even seen 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 co to know.

"Delete them? With the way you keep defying ? I think not. Get in the car, Oliver, I won’t say it again unless you want to beco extrely 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 ti for 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 . Too close.

I froze as his face ca 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 t and for a mont, neither of us moved.

\n(o)v.e\l

His gray eyes seed 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 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 pressed against the passenger door trying to put as much distance between us as possible while he drove in silence, occasionally glancing at with an unreadable expression that made my stomach flip.

The whispers.

The stares from everyone.

This was the very mont I had been dreading from the mont he had insisted I enter his car, more like blackmailed 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 exclaid.

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

I also wanted to scream, I was a real life person, they couldn’t ship like this. And why the hell did my na always end the ship? In their eyes they already picked a se 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 , or be in front of " 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 t a very familiar gaze glaring at us, more like glowering hard at 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 , your g-girlfriend won’t like i-it..." I stuttered, trying to wiggle away from the hand he draped around .

"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 , 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 back toward him and this ti his arm was draped around my waist.

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

"They are talking about you, we should give them sothing 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 so people taking out their cellphones.

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

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