"Were having barbeque today?" he asked.
"Obviously." I murmur and marched to the fridge and took a bottle of fresh orange juice.
"Hi, there gorgeous!" He greeted me as if he just arrived alone. I rolled my eyes and went to the counter.
"Don't be grumpy, Adhiti. Nick will join us at dinner."
So the grilling and dinner were just fine. I still feel bored and I rather sleep now. But they are enjoying while my brothers together with my father and mother keep on telling corny jokes and he's laughing hard on it. The jokes are the usual jokes that they are telling during our dinner.
I yawn and propped my elbow on the table and I lean my cheek on my hand while playing the shrimps on my pasta. Dad prepared the wine and beers and they are drinking while I am stuck on water and soda. When I caught him staring at me he winks at me. I rolled my eyes and I told mom that I am tired. She excuses me and I went to my room to take a shower.
I put my sweater and pajama on. Then I slump on my bed while hearing them laughing. I groaned when I heard them cleaning. After a few moments, someone knocks on my door. I roll and it opens. It is Patrick and he signed me to come with him downstairs. I lazily walk with him downstairs and they are now drinking their beers and wines in the living room. I sat beside Nick which is the only vacant spot.
The movie, in the title of Vampire Academy, had started. Dmitri, the guy there with a long hair is such a drop-dead-gorgeous-mouthwatering man I had ever seen. He looked like a Greek God or a Demi-God. I don't know but from now on he's my number one crush.
"Seems, she's smitten to Dmitri," Patrick stated while munching the chips. Sometimes I think he can read minds. But he never showed what supernatural demi-god power he got. "Dream on, sissy! He won't be yours." Andrew and Patrick laugh and I grimace at them.
"Hush boys!" mom shush them. I throw the cushions to them that hit their faces.
"He's too old for you." Nick murmurs on my ear. I nudge his ribs that make him winced. He secretly spread his arm at the frame of the sofa behind me. I bit my lower lips to avoid smiling. My cheeks heated up and if it wasn't dark, my brothers will notice my face flushing.
My dad and mom decided to go to bed while my brothers are still on their bean bag couch eating chips and keeps on eating. I wonder how empty their stomachs are. They had been eating for almost an hour for now.
"Andrew, I feel numb here," Patrick complains and stood moving to our couch. He pushed Nick aside sitting on the space between us. He even pushed Nick's side for him to move away. I rolled my eyes.
Patrick throws his arm around me and leans his head on the couch titling it to lean to my head. The movie is on the part where Princess Vasilissa had interrupted the Queen's introduction. Until it ends where Rose had beat up the man she loved by her charm on about—they almost kissed. She had twisted his arm and he falls back first for the first time.
Andrew stood and stretches when the movie finishes. Patrick is asleep too and snoring. I pushed his head and I stood. I stretch my arms feeling numb on hours of sitting. I glanced at Nick who is yawning.
"Aren't you going home?" I asked him.
"Ahhh... I will go home now." He stood. "Can you walk me outside?" he asked.
It is just ironic that a girl will walk the boy outside. However, I agreed because Andrew is gone and Patrick is sleeping already. I put my shoes on and we walk outside. On the staircase, he holds my cold hands. I feel relieved that his hands are warm. He smiled at me and the moonlight shows that he was happy because of that smile.
"Are you still cold?" he asked me while we are walking towards the fountain. I just nod which is true. He stopped and faced me and I face him. He took my other hand and brings it to his mouth. He breathed on my hands and a warm soothing feeling brings me to life.
The sounds of crickets together with the chorale of frogs are joining. The cold wind hushes on us. The beautiful shining lights of fireflies are dancing in the dark. The owl howls as another cold wind brushes my hair. I look up at him to meet his beautiful green eyes. He looked mesmerized like someone had cast a spell between us.
He brought my palms on his cheek as he gently moves closely to close the pace between us. His lips are parted and I stare on it while it is moving closer. Soft warmth lips of him gently and innocently pressed on mine. I was too not myself to push or complain. I feel drifted by the attraction that I don't even think that they might catch us. I gently close my eyes and my fingers scoop the back of his hair.
What is this crazy feeling like fireworks? I feel like I am in another world or dimension. It is like kaleidoscopes are around us, not dark, not bright but the color of kaleidoscopes. He parted my lips and was about to kiss me deeper but the fireworks turn into a bomb, and kaleidoscopes turn into the night and everything is back to reality when my brothers cleared their throats.
I put down my hands and we innocently look away in diverge direction. I glanced at my big brothers on the staircase with their arms crossed over their big strong chest.
"Adhiti, it is late. Go back inside." Patrick demands. I peek a kiss on the cheek from Nick that makes him surprised and whispered good night and run back inside.
I think I am going to explode like a bomb. When I got to my room, I locked the door and jumped into the bed. As I flashback the innocent kiss, it drives me insane. Those lips are so soft, warm and I crave for him more. Am I feeling in love or is it just lust?
"Sleep now, Adhiti! Stop shrieking!" Patrick knocks on the door.
"I am not squealing," I said rolling my eyes.
"Well at least try not to think of night dreaming him. I threw him away and you have to damn sleep." He said not too loud outside my door room.
"Alright, dumbass. Just get out of my thoughts!"
Things that happened today are unexpected. I thought I am still going to sulk or feel sorry about what happened yesterday in the corridor. Paul's body was very scary. I wonder how his family will start a new life now that he's gone. I wonder how sorrowful his friends are. I was his friend too and we are quite closed to each other. We used to date in the second week of my freshman in Mystical Academy.
Then, I got this fun day together with the gorgeous best friend of my brother. At first, I found him just like Andrew who is a pervert but he wasn't such a playboy. He's a gentleman and got a good sense of humor.
Now, how can I sleep after the innocent kiss he gave?
