To Love A Player by Madeline Piper (primary phonics books .TXT) 📖

know what Kyle and Roman’s problem was. It bothered me of how the hatred flared between them and everyone except me knew about it. I turned my body towards him and rested my head on my arm. I was about to ask but something stopped me. The peace in his face was mesmerizing. This was the first time I’d seen him so calm around me. I ran my fingers along his shirt playfully and smiled hoping that the peace would stay longer for how unpredictable he was.
“Want a beer?” I asked softly after he didn't pay me any mind. He didn't peel his eyes from the television like he usually would he just nodded. I quickly ran on the cold floor and got two beers for us. I threw the bottle into his lap as he twisted the cap off with his teeth. I gave him mine to open and as he titled it back I used my fingers and hit the bottle pouring all of the beer onto his shirt accidentally. I began laughing hysterically when the coldness finally hit his nerves. The look on his face was priceless. He glared at me deathly before leaning over to hug me, smearing the beer onto me. I screamed with disgust as he squeezed me tightly. I don’t know why but the feeling I suddenly had was refreshing.
“You shouldn’t have done that, Diamond.” He grunts as he squeezed me tighter. I squealed and gasped for air all in the process of laughing. After a moment of me kicking and screaming he pulled back. I looked into his big brown eyes and noticed something that wasn’t there before beside the peace that once filled it. I couldn’t understand what though. We stayed like that for a moment before he slowly leaned in and brushed his lips against mine. It took me a while to relax under his touch as his lips began to smooth over mine. His lips were soft and moist as they worked furiously against mine. I found myself closing my eyes and leaning into him until I felt his body relax onto mine. His fingers traveled up my arm, to my neck until both hands cupped my face. The kiss began more intense before I found myself not being able to breathe. I gasped against his lips and turned my face from his.
He planted soft tender kisses along my neck. My breathing was becoming more brisk as one of his hands slid down my waist and hooked my jeans. He worked at my button until it finally snapped. Without thinking I pushed him from me and fixed myself.
“I’m sorry.” He whispered as he jumped from the couch in frustration. He ran his fingers through his hair and I immediately regretted my decision of pushing him away. He looked so helpless and…sorry. It was hard not to say I wanted him but I had to keep telling myself that I didn't. His reputation gave me a stronger reason as to why he was bad news. Roman was what I needed.
I sighed and stood also making my way to the door. My hands felt heavy as I hesitantly opened it. “You should leave.” I choked out. He looked at me with sad eyes. Tears were beginning to form. “I told you I wasn’t going to have sex with you, Kyle. You should leave.”
He began to speak but I cut him off. “Before you say something wrong Kyle leave…just leave.” I could clearly see the sadness turning to anger. He stomped towards me and stopped giving me a square view of his face, eyes and perfect lips that I wanted against mine as quickly as possible. I bit my lips and turned my face from him to stop my urges.
“So far Diamond, I think you’re the one that’s been doing things wrong.” My eyes shot up and his anger subsided to sadness once again. The peace that was once there was long gone.
“Leave.” I said trying my best to say it as sternly as possible. He left without another word.
Has it changed?

I hated the fact that Kyle and I always parted on bad terms. I’ve seen him at classes but he hasn’t paid me any mind. Not like he did before. Weeks had passed and it was almost as if we’d have never met nor did our incident occur. Roman and I fortunately went on a couple more dates to the point where both of us were considered a couple. The cutest couple at that but part of me was missing. A part that I think Kyle could fill.
As usual I made my way into class and sat at my usual spot. Roman had called and said he wouldn’t be here for a couple days. He was attending his grandma’s funeral in Ohio but he’ll be back by the time the frat parties came into effect.
I sat in my seat and proceeded in taking out my notebook and tape recorder when Kyle and his group of girls entered behind Cheddy. I was surprised when Kyle took a seat where Roman usually sat. His arm stretched across the back of my seat and I tried my best to ignore him.
“Hey, Diamond.” He whispered. The other girls occupied the seat around us and I happened to notice one of the brunettes from the club.
“Hi, Kyle.” I politely replied. I kept my eyes on Cheddy but I felt Kyle lean in.
“Where’s your boyfriend?” He asks. I gave him a look before turning back to my notes. “It’s pretty clear that you too are dating. Where is the douche?”
“First off Kyle you’re the douche and where Roman is, is none of your god dam business. You of all people should hate to ask about him.” I snapped. His eyebrows shot up.
“Why do you suppose I hate him?” I don’t know why he’s asked me that when it was pretty obvious. Just the air that surrounds them both when they are in a room signals how bad their hatred was.
“It’s pretty obvious and I'm not in the mood to discuss Roman so please stop.”
“You don’t have a problem in telling people stop abruptly, Diamond.” I knew exactly what he meant. It angered me the moment he said it. How dare he say that? For crying out loud I’m not one of those girls who usually drop their panties when he says. I’m different, unique and I want my first time to be hear felt.
“Are you serious right now?” I rolled my eyes, gathered my things and stormed out of the classroom. I knew that my car was parked on the far side of campus so I decided to head to the dorms. Before I turned the corner I felt an arm grab me and spin me around. Kyle pressed his body onto me until my back was against the wall. Without warning he was kissing me. His eyes were closed as his lips moved against mine. They were soft and I missed them but I had a hard time relaxing under him. He was too unpredictable. He released me and hit the lockers behind me with his fists.
“God! Do you know how hard it is to please you?” He screamed kicking the trash can beside me.
“Me? Try you, Kyle! I know that all you want from me is sex and I am not like one of your sluts to drop my panties for you!” I screamed. My hand shot to my mouth when I realized what I just said. I quickly removed them because he needs to hear it. He needs to hear what an arrogant bastard he was.
“Do you think I’d go this far for sex? I can get any fucking girl in this god dam school but guess what? I chose you. I want you no one else but you!” He sighed. His arrogance was practically dripping from his lips but the last words made me smile a bit. The smile vanished when I figured he probably said that to most girls.
“I don’t think so Kyle. I really believe you think of me as a challenge not a lover.” And I for one thought it was true.
“We always quarrel when we’re together.”
“It’s a sign that we aren’t meant to be. I can’t deal with your constant arguments. One moment you’re happy and the next you’re pissed at me for no reason.”
“I have my reasons, Diamond but it’s stupid of you not to see them.”
“Oh now you’re calling me stupid? Why the hell did you follow me out here Kyle go back to one of your sluts. I'm definitely not one of them.” I shook my head as I walked away but he grabbed my arm and spun me to face him. He cups my face and presses his forehead to mine.
“That’s not what I meant.” He breathes. I sigh and close my eyes inhaling every inch of him. He smelled of a mixture of musk and the wind in the mountains.
“I know.” I reply. We stayed like that for moments until the clicks of heels sounded behind us. I peeled my eyes open and watched as a freshman blonde bounced her way past us. She ogles over Kyle but as I glanced back at him his eyes were fixed on me, staring intently into my eyes.
“You’re the only one I want.” He reassured. With that I smiled.

Fun Night Out?

How is it that, now whenever Kyle’s name is mentioned I either get jealous or extremely happy? Was it because we made up or was it because I grew to have more feelings for him than I ever thought possible? Just the way he smiles and his deep dimples sink into his cheeks makes me flutter with joy. Unfortunately, we cannot be together. Why? Roman’s why! We’re in a committed relationship, or so everyone says and rumors have started as to how I am a two timer. I wouldn’t blame them. I spent more time with Kyle than I did Roman but I try to reassure him that we’re friends. Close friends.
I honestly liked Roman and it would pain me to hurt him. Kyle nevertheless insists that I ditch him but that same arrogance he used would always result in an argument. Maybe I should just cut it off with Kyle for Roman’s sake. Maybe then the rumors will cease and my guilty feeling will subside. If I am a two faced maybe I should get
