CHAPTER 8
And I kissed him back. Closing my eyes in the process.
Am I really doing this?, am not supposed to be doing this but yet it felt so right all those feelings came flooding back, from when we brushed hands to when we danced together to now.
If I am to tell you the truth, his lips have bothered me for this past week every time I saw him I kept thinking of his lips those pink, plump and juicy lips I had wondered how it would have felt to kiss him and I felt it now and it was exhilarating. I didn't know what to do, different thoughts were going through my head,
A. Do I kiss him back?
B. Should I slap him?
C. Should I run away?
D. Should I push him back and shout at him?
As in like the guy barely knows me and I barely know him, what would you have done if you were in my shoes? You would have probably chosen B or D but well I am different and so I chose A. Why? If you might ask, it was simple I had wanted to do this since the beginning of the dance but I held myself back and I wasn't the one that initiated the kiss. Ignoring all that there was something that made me want more but we broke it off. I smiled and he smirked.
"Was that your first kiss?" he asked
"Yeah" I answered "if we ignore the peck that Joshua gave me in kindergarten, then yeah it is"
"Do you want to do it again?" he asked with his blue eyes sinking into mine with what seemed like love?
In response I pulled him to me and the emotion in his eyes changed to desire as his arms moved around my waist he pressed his lips to mine and I ran my fingers through his hair pulling him closer as his hands ran up and down my back to my waist leaving me hot to his every touch, I pulled his hair slightly, and I smiled when I heard him moan, he bit my lip wanting to gain access, causing me to gasp slightly as he used the moment to deepen the kiss, he tasted like mint and strawberry from the punch earlier, I ran my fingers through his hair gently as his thumb grazed my neck sending a shiver down my body, the weather was cold but I was hot all over, I didn't want to stop because every touch of his made me feel something I couldn't describe, I felt something that I didn't want to let go of, his grip on my waist tightened like as if I was going to fall off if he didn't hold me tightly. I didn't want this moment to and but sadly the human body refused to let us continue and so I pulled back smiling at what just happened
"Whoa" we both said together
"Would it be weird if I said I want us to do it again?" he asked
"It wouldn't be weird because I also want to do it again" I said but I took a step back
"If we start now I feel like I won't go home today besides it's cold" I said walking towards the car
and he followed me opening the door for me I smiled at him as I took a seat he opened the door and got in turning on the heater he turned to me "If you don't want to do that then what do you want to do?" he asked
"I dunno, just talk?" I answered
"Okay then let's talk" he said
"Why did you bring me here? "I asked
"I told you it was my secret spot" he answered
"You did, but why me?" I asked
"Because it's you" he answered resting his head on the headrest, which made me want to run my fingers through his hair but I held back,
"That is not a suitable answer" I said
"Well that's all I can say" he said
"What does this place mean to you?" I asked as I rested my head on the headrest closing my eyes.
"It's a spot my mom and I used to come to together" he said "when I was young" he took in a deep breath and added "but now she's gone"
"Gone where?" I asked, you know there have been moments in my life that I have asked a lot of dumb questions this was one of them.
"She's dead Stevie" he whispered
My eyes flew open "Oh" I whispered too
"Yeah", he said
"I'm so, so, so, so, sorry, I tend to be dumb and slow witted sometimes
and I think this was one of those times" I mumbled
"There's no need to be sorry, you didn't kill her "he said
"How did she die?" I whispered looking down, he hesitated before answering
"Cancer took her away from me" he said and I saw a drop of tear roll down, I stretched my hand catching it before it fell on his shirt I cleaned his face with my hand, caressing him and that feeling came again, I pushed it aside to focus and brought his head down kissing his forehead whispering "Everything's gonna be alright" and I hugged him he rested his head on my shoulder and cried I drew him closer to me and rubbed his back silently telling him to let it all out
"I am so sorry I spoilt this night for you didn't I?" he said looking up at me,
"No you didn't" I answered " I shouldn't have asked in the first place, but it's nice that you were able to open up about something that affects you like this" I said taking in a deep breath before continuing "my mom left me and my brothers when I was just eight we were devastated, but she was gone, on that day the day that became a memory to never be forgotten" I said looking anywhere but his face
"She ran away, She abandoned us, leaving my dad to cater for us, we were never broke my dad had always been rich so I don't get why she left us" I said looking down to my hands.
"My dad had always told me that she had to leave us for our own good but it doesn't make sense like why would she?, she looked so happy with my dad even eight year old me saw how happy they were together if she had to leave why that day?" I questioned rubbing my hands over my face as the images of that night came flooding back, after I had been saved by that person I had ran out looking for them only to find my dad and brothers standing there with firemen who were trying to put out the fire, they were looking at me as I ran into my dad's arms crying while looking for her, but she was gone, that day the firemen were all staring at me like I had just risen from the dead because that's how it seemed to me myself.
Adam was about to say something when we heard ringing I grabbed my phone from my purse but it wasn't mine, it was Adam's
"Sorry I gotta take this" he said
"Sure" I said he went out and I leaned back just thinking of stupid stuffs, but then I stopped when I heard a rustling between the trees I turned looking at Adam to see if he also heard it but I don't think he did his back was to the car and he was still talking on the phone instinctively I locked the door before remembering Adam was outside how was he surviving with the way the weather was cold? I asked myself. He bent down knocking the window to signal me to open the door I did and he got in
"Why did you lock the door? He asked
"Well I heard some sound coming from the trees and for your information it's quarter past eleven" I said checking my phone" I think it's time to go home"
"Yeah sure okay" he answered, starting the car.
I gave him directions and we got to my house, "o….kay here we are, I have delivered you home safe and sound "he said, parking the car in front of the house" but just know that from Monday we are dating" he said, I smiled and shook my head "Okay I hear you" I answered and got down not before giving him a light kiss which made me feel lightheaded. I smiled waving him bye as he drove off.
I brought out my key opened the door and entered the house, it seemed like everyone had gone to sleep.
I tiptoed upstairs, opening the door to my room I jumped on the bed before it hit me I was still wearing his jacket and the boots were still on my feet, I can't believe I left my shoes in his car but luckily I brought my bag, I got up and removed the jacket, gently laying it on the chair and removed the boots placing it neatly beside the table I pulled the zipper of my dress down and removed it carefully putting it in the laundry basket by my door and got into the bathroom turning on the heater and allowed the water to flow from my hair down to my back I closed my eyes feeling the heat flow through my body as I remembered the kiss,
The kiss that almost drove me crazy,
The kiss that left me in cloud nine,
The kiss that left me lightheaded,
The kiss that only Adam could give,
The kiss that left me yearning for more I bit my lip at the thought and shook my head getting out of the bathroom, I reached out for the towel when I saw it hover a little before coming down, I was taken aback by the sudden wind and turned to check if I had left the window open but it was closed that was weird, then how did that happen? I asked myself it must have been a trick played by my eyes right?
Yeah am sure it was, I said to myself and got out putting on my pj's i climbed the bed and went to sleep thinking about what was going to happen on Monday.
