Chereads / Coercion With The Bad Boy / Chapter 9 - The Aftermath

Chapter 9 - The Aftermath

Ahh! Morning, when the day starts anew and all your worries have yet to catch  up to you.

The birds chirp in delight and the sun slowly kisses your skin. With a yawn and a smile you awake to a bright day.

Another day to express yourself and rewrite the wrongs of yesterday. Yes, the fresh morning air is the best when waki-

*Beepbeepbeepbeep*

"Ugh, what the hell is that?"

"Shut up"

"Kill that thing"

The scrambling of a clumsy hand banging against smaller objects was barely heard when suddenly the annoying beep-beeping ceased its onslaught of terror.

I sighed in relief and went back to my dreams of chaos and malice. Truly a comforting world.

An arm slowly wrapped itself around my waist, pulling me closer to a body behind me. My back came into contact with a lean, muscular, chest.

Two things suddenly ran through my mind at that time. First being, does the cookie monster in Sesame Street ever go to the toilet?

The other thing was by far the most important, who the hell was spooning me without my consent?!

Jumping up out of the bed in fright the arm slipped off of my waist. My sudden movements caused me to fall from the bed and flat on my face.

The funny thing is I fell on top of someone else, but only half of my body landed on a soft surface.

The other part, which was my face, landed on cold, hard ground. My poor, unlookable face.

Groaning in pain, I slowly positioned my head on a hand. The person I landed on groaned in protest and like a fly on a wall I basically flew off him.

Which I admit was a bad idea, the agonising pain in the side of my head told me so.

"Neptune's beard, what is this pain? How have I wronged the gods into punishing me for my transgressions"

Slumping back to the floor, head held between my hands I groaned once more.

"It's called a hangover."

A deep voice said. I slowly raised my head at the intruder only to see a nearly naked Nicholi.

"What?"

I whispered to him, too afraid to anger the loud beeping in my ear or the heavy drumming in my head.

"Here, drink this and you'll feel a lot better."

Stretching out a cup towards me he waited until I took it from his hand.

Slowly getting up from my awkward position on the floor, where I used a human as a throw pillow, I gathered all the strength I had in me and walked toward him.

Grabbing the cup, my fingers grazingly brushed against his. Ignoring the slight tingly sensation I focused on the cool, smooth surface of the blue cup.

Bringing it to my lips, ice cold liquid touched them. Unveiling my mouth, I gave the tasty liquid access to the cavern.

Nothing has tasted more wonderful than that one glass of water. I greedily downed the rest of the contents, not once resting for air.

"Hah, that feels so good"

Handing over the cup to a shirtless Nicholi, I had a hard time trying to not stare at the sharp, very visible pecks. His chest seemed slightly wet, as though he just came out of the shower.

A small drop of water dripped from the base of his neck down to the crevice between his collar bone and shoulder.

My eyes trailed after the falling liquid and I was in a state where I wished our positions were switched.

Like I was hypnotized my hand raised on its own, made its way to the broad chest so lovingly laid before it.

Fingertips brushed against sun kissed skin, the slightest touch sending a thousand bolts running through my body, from the base of the spine to the tips of my toes.

Forest green eyes followed the movements but I took no heed of them.

Too engrossed in the task, I slowly dragged my fingers down from his chest to the six pecks.

Every crevice and cranny was deeper than the last. Silk smooth skin, hard yet soft muscles, they were quite the feel.

"Hmmm"

The sudden noise shook me out of my stupor, like lightning my fingers were off his chest.

An amused chuckle was heard as Nicholi seemed to be enjoying my overly flushed face.

Feeling awkward after what I did, I turned to look at the other sleeping occupants of the room.

River was lying flat on his stomach on the floor with his head on a shoe, next to him was a snoring, drooling  Tyler.

They both looked so comfortable on that floor, almost like they weren't sleeping on the cold, hard surface.

Then something dawned onto me.....Nicholi was not in the room when I woke up, meaning he was in a different room.

Tyler and River are both asleep on the ground, soundly snoring away their worries. They were all there...off the bed...far from it even.

However, there was one missing. Wait...does that mean the arm that spooned me was...no.

Looking over to the place I was once sleeping on I saw another figure on the other side of the bed.

A shirtless and out cold Crow laid flat on his stomach on the bed. His light snores barely noticeable.

Turning to the other shirtless boy in fright, I grabbed his shoulders and in despair brought him to eye level.

With eyes widened and most definitely mortified I loudly whispered to him.

"Are you telling me I slept on the same bed as a boy and not just any boy but Crow!?"

Small laughter came from the tall male, mockingly raising a brow he questioned my personal name for the odd boy

"Crow? Where did you come up with that?"

"That's not important right now! Just-just what happened yesterday?"

Once again he laughed. Gently grabbing my wrist, removing my hand from his right shoulder he closed in on the little distance between us, our noses barely touching.

"I think it's best if we first let the guys sleep."

Standing up to his full height, he let go of his hold on me. Turning around he walked out of the room in large strides.

"Let's talk downstairs, I'll give you some more water for your headache."

Headache? What does he mean by hea- ugh!

Just then pain shot through my head from one side of my temple to the other. The sheer agony it brought was almost enough to freeze me in shock.

Yeah, forgot bout that....wish I could forget about how I basically harassed Nicholi too.

Coming down the stairs of a home I could not recognise, I followed the tall male.

On the walls of dark grey walls were pictures of a young looking Nicholi, missing a front tooth. His grin was as wide as the grand canyon and brighter than the sun.

Looking to the photo next to it was another pic of him, but this time he was in the arms of a woman with brunette, long hair and dazzling green eyes.

That must be his mother. Her smile seemed sweet and kind. Filled with so much love and affection.

It was a smile a mother would give to her child, something I know nothing of.

Stopping in a modernised kitchen with marble countertops and an L-shaped table, I watched as Nicholi sat down on one of the barstools placed at the table.

Our eyes locked and I, feeling awkward, was quick to look away.

Shifting from one foot to the other it was only then I noticed the cold, smooth tiled floor under my bare feet.

"So then, you were saying?"

Nicholi questioned with a hint of humour in his voice. I looked up from the floor to look at him only to find his eyes still set on me.

Shifting them away again he chuckled at the movement. It was hard for me to look at him right now and he knew it.

"Uhm...what, what happened yesterday? You know af-after the Uhm.."

"After you started a bar fight?"

My cheeks flushed red at last night's exciting events yet I could still not recall what transpired after the whole bar scramble.

"Well since you're so curious to know."

He paused for some time as he lifted a brow

"Do you really want to know though?"

"Ah, yes?"

I was indefinitely scared now. I wasn't too sure by his way of asking if I wanted to know anymore.

He gave a deep chuckle once more, with it came a sly yet very enticing smirk that showed off perfectly aligned white teeth.

"Don't worry, not much happened. You kind of blacked out in the car...after chucking all your food over Max....or should I say Crow?"

I cringed at the words of me literally throwing up my food over the poor dark, emo looking boy. That is a memory I hope not to recover.

"After, we arrived here at my place. I figured it wouldn't be a good idea for your parents to see you so messed up."

Pausing once more to pick a grape and pop it into his mouth, he continued

"I had to drag you to the guest room since you were so knocked out. The guys and I then chilled and finally hit the sack at around three in the morning."

"Wait, so they all decided to sleep in the same room as me?"

"Yeahhh, I have no idea how that happened. Last I checked River was passed out on the kitchen floor, Tyler on the sofa and Max was on the dinning table."

Slowly the black headed boy got up from his seat, only to sit back again after reaching out for a few grapes that were placed on the table.

"They must have woken up in the middle of the night and went off to sleep into the guest room. They do usually sleep there. I guess they just forgot you were in there."

Great, so I'm easily forgotten even when lying passed out drunk on a bed, loudly snoring.

"Don't worry "

He smirked as he got up once more from his seat, bending over the table arms firmly placed on top, he eyed me with a look of mischief in his eyes.

With a full smirk displayed on plump, pink lips came the words I was dreading in what was nothing but a whisper

"They didn't do anything that you did to me up stairs"

Once more I felt heat rise to my cheeks as I flushed in embarrassment. He just winked at the shy look of utter horror on my face.

I was so hoping he wouldn't bring that up, but of course he would eventually.

My bad habit of chewing on my lower lip chose to arise at that moment.

Dark,forest green eyes followed the movements of teeth grinding on flesh. But that only made me chew even more on them.

It seemed like he had, had enough torture and decided to speak against it.

"I suggest you stop doing that if you don't want another episode of what happened earlier....only this time the roles would be switched."

It didn't feel like he was suggesting it though, it felt more like he was daring me to challenge him.

As if to rile him up more just to test how far I could go with pushing his buttons....or was it him pushing mine?

"I-um.....I should probably get going."

My eyes flew everywhere but to his face. I wanted to get out of this situation.

For a moment I had forgotten the fact that the guy I was standing infront of was Nicholi, aka a walking sex god.

This guy was dangerous, and I don't associate myself with danger. I was supposed to live a boring uneventful, sad and miserable life.

This, this was not part of my routine. This was something I was not keen to doing.

"Yeah, my mom's probably worried about me."

Of course it was a lie. My mother didn't give two shits about what happened to me.

But he didn't need to know that. I needed a good excuse to get out of here and I just said the very first thing that popped into my head.

Besides I really needed to get a move on, today they're finally releasing the final episode of an anime I've been craving to binge on and I was not going to wait!

"Sooo...yeah"

Turning to the door I made my way out but was soon stopped in my tracks as a hand held me back by the arm.

My head whipped back so fast that I almost got whiplash.

Looking at the figure behind me, my eyes widened in terror.

Did I do something wrong? Maybe I upset him or something! Should I have asked permission to leave first?

The face that was a good distance away from me seemed to have gotten closer in the last moments I was lost in my thoughts.

A million things raced through my mind, one in particular scared me nearly to death.

Suddenly he was even closer than before, so close that I could feel his hot breath, smell his minty fresh scent. It was beyond enticing.

I felt my body shiver in pleasure, a reaction that did not go unnoticed as the boy in question smirked at my unexpected movement.

Our eyes met and that is when I knew I had lost. Lost to the deep dark cavern of forests beyond forests. Our lips were barely two inches apart.

It was then that my instincts kicked in. Without even thinking it my eyes tightly shut closed on their own.

I anticipated the connection of my lips with his but....it never came.

Slowly peeling my lids open I saw a smirking Nicholi with a look of mischief in his eyes.

"Think you're gonna need these"

I looked down to the shoes he held up to my face and yes once again I flushed in embarrassment.

"Were you expecting more?"

He questioned with a brow raised and a smirk widely spread across a freakishly handsome face.

Too embarassed to answered, I snatched my boots out of his hands, thanked him with a barely audible voice and with lightning fast speed I ran out the door. A loud bang rang out as I shut it behind me.

Leaning against the wood I repeatedly banged the back of my head against it.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid."

Ugh, this was the longest morning of my life and it just began.

Sighing out loud I put on my boots and started my walk back home.

I just wanna get into my blankets and watch that anime right now.
