Bring it on, Nasty!!

Chapter 18

Maira

You can't have even a semi-civil conversation with that guy .

He loves annoying the hell out of me , He had himself confessed this to me and now, after the event in the morning class I was seriously beginning to consider if I can slap a restraining order against him.

Do not come within 50 miles of Maira Gracemer . Plus , it should also state : Do not even look in Maira Gracemer's direction.

sighs. If only it were possible .

The guy is the embodiment of devil himself.

Poor , sweet Alicia tried to play the peacemaker but it was an epic fail. She had even suggested switching workstations with me for chemistry practicals but I turned her down.

I didn't want Ambrose to know how much he was bothering me ,it will only make him that much happy ,and I refused to let that happen. Plus , I'm not a quitter

So I guarded my work table ( No thanks to my lab partner ) I managed to keep Ambrose from messing up with my experiments which mind you , is a huge task within itself.

For once , at the end of the practical hour my results matched with everyone else in the class .

I give myself a mental salute : Well done solider .

The teacher hardly looks impressed with me , which was sort of justified in a way considering that I have failed so many times ,one correct result wouldn't win him over but it was a victory for me nevertheless.

Unfortunately , things weren't so nice during Astronomy class .

Calestine had found out that I went out for a coffee with Ambrose.

It didn't exactly surprise me considering that it is a small town and some news or rumour always circulated in the air but what did surprise me was the pure venom in her voice when she spoke to me .

We were never bff's before and had never been polite to each other , exchange of harsh words and cold glares were a norm between us but this time there was some thing in her glacier blue eyes that made my skin crawl and the hair at the back of my neck stand " Stay away from him " She said into my face her voice dripping with acid.

" I don't know how many times I have to tell you this... " I say looking right into her eyes both weary and annoyed, wondering if I will have to punch in her gorgeous face to get her to see the point because If she is trying to scare me with the venom or hard glint in her eyes , she will be in for a disappointment. I'm not the kind of girl who goes around picking up fights but when somebody gives me crap it's not in my nature to take it laying down .

" I'm not least bit interested in Ambrose , you can latch onto him like a leech for all I care "

Her nostrils flare but before she could say or do anything Ambrose walked into the classroom. He arched an eyebrow when he saw both of us .The tension was evident in the air and so were the expectant looks every one in class were giving him.

Before he came in ,thanks to Calestine's love for making scenes , we both were giving everyone first class entertainment now that he had arrived he had everyone's attention as well.

He merely looked between me and Calestine and his trademark smirk creeps up his face " Whoa! Somebody should have told me there was a cat fight going on , I would have brought some coke and popcorn "

The class laughed as some of the tension disappears from the air but Calestine continued to glare daggers at me through out the entire period.

" I do not like this , Alicia " I whined as we made our way to the gym.

I'm so not the kind of person who is into physical activities . Give me my books and a cup of coffee then lock me up in my room and I wouldn't even care if a tornado is ranging outside.

Mr. Micheal's who was our gym teacher , build as an ox with muscles bulging from everywhere in his shirt he Is like the human version of hulk , minus the green colour and the dimpled smile that most of the girls in my class swoon over .

I however have no such fetish for dimpled hulks.

Today , he divided the class into doing different activities . Alicia was to swim and I had jumping ropes. To sum it up into two words : It sucked !!

After a good while of time when my legs stated hating me and my wrists started crying out in agony he thankfully dismissed me and instead of going to locker room to change out of my gym uniform I went towards the swimming pool to find Alicia ,hoping she will get out of the pool too considering it is only ten minutes before the school finishes.

Instead , I see Ambrose climb out of the pool. All wet and dripping.

My eyes all but bulged out of my sockets and my mind went on to wonder if there was a GQ magazine cover shoot going on here.

It's insane for any boy to look this hot shirtless.

He isn't too bulky or bulging with muscles but I would be blind If I say he isn't muscular. Droplets of water clung to his broad , sculpted chest and smooth skin stretched taut over his washboard abs. He is the , The Perfect specimen of male hotness.

Sheer perfection and Zero flaws. And OMG!! Is that a tattoo on his left bicep ?

It is a wolf , just the face inked in black and Gosh ! Did it not suit him !

I have always had a liking for ink and on him the tattoo looked as much a part of him as the amazing muscles of his arm did.

As my eyes slowly made their way up from the gorgeous expense of summing trunks clad body . Abs , chest , biceps , rock hard muscles , neck and then slowly to his face suddenly it is like someone had dumped a bucket full of ice cold water over my head, he is looking at me with a devilish knowing smirk on his lips " See something you like princess ? "

Blood rushed to my face in such a quick painful manner my cheeks burned with the sting " You wish " I say as haughtily as I can manage in current condition. Which was being caught ogling at him !

And Given the way the smirk on his face grew it was clear my haughty response wasn't as haughty as I would have liked it to be and before I even knew what was going on and scream out he had picked me up and threw me into the pool.

" Oh MY.....Oh MY God !! " I sputtered breaking to the surface of the pool spitting out water from my mouth and blinking away water from my eyes.

" Are you alright ? " Alica asks concerned immediately swimming to my side

" I'm fine " I gasp and look up at Ambrose who is casually standing at the end of the pool " I hate you " I yell at him

He chuckles " I know "

" No . I REALLY , REALLY HATE YOU ! " I yell my fury knowing no bonds

He shrugs with a smirk playing on his face , a face he so shouldn't have had.

Those gorgeous hot looks were getting wasted on an obnoxious guy like him.Given his attitude he should look like a slug , a really slimy and ugly slug.

" It was just to clear any misunderstanding about peace between us you might have had from yesterday " He said over his shoulder walking

I glare at his bare retreating muscular back attached to the tanned bread shoulders daring myself to find it attractive.

" Come one Ali , lets get out of this pool " I say dragging my drenched self out the pool and cursing Ambrose wilde in a million ways to hell and back .

When I turn around I see Alicia still in the pool , " What ? " I ask

She gives me a smile " You just used the nickname Ambrose uses for me "

" Wha---What ? "

" Yes " She gives a small laugh getting out of the pool and the smile still lingers on her face as we move towards the changing room.
