Annoying, Alex was irritating the eldest of them. Nevertheless, he didn't care if Edric would yell at him, push him out of the house or cut off his connection with him for a few days. He would rather stand his attitude and outlash than to see him hurt. He would eventually make it up to him.
"And how can you say that?", well, Edric wasn't thinking of a chance with the girl. She certainly felt different from the rest, something about her that made him give the necklace to her. Perhaps, he hoped for a one-nighter with her. But that was all. Now that his brother had brought up the crazy conversation, he got interested to find out how he could be so sure.
"The first night when I saw her looking at you, I thought she would be your next girl in the bed but it never happened. For one night, she might have wanted you but she didn't let you have her, as if something was pulling her away from you, someone who she is meant to be with, like a soulmate", the curiosity faded as an absurd chuckle echoed in the place.
"Coming from who? You were the one who came here a few days ago, telling me that you've found the love of your life. When you were having those bodies laid on the bed, did the undiscovered love of your soulmate stop you from entering the holes?", soulmates? As if the love shit wasn't found in every part of the earth, now that his brother was babbling about the soulmate thing.
But wasn't the soulmate and love the same thing? Not actually. They could fall on one coin but either on the flip side.
Some people used to believe that there existed a soulmate they would meet at some point in their life. Unlike having an emotional and physical connection with the love partners, they would feel connected by heart and mind with their soulmates. It was a connection of two souls.
There were rare chances for their soulmate to be their life partner as well as they contended it as people entering their life to teach them something, leaving after once they would learn the lesson. But not everyone sat at the same table with the believers of this group.
One could become a better person following the admiration they've for their soulmates. They could also have them as a life partner. And when a soulmate would become their ever-lasting other-half, they would share a profound emotional and spiritual bond.
"I always had the feeling that there was someone special yet to enter my life. But that didn't mean I was prohibited to have fun around and explore. Scarlett can also explore the world and do whatever she wants and that's my point here. She doesn't want you in the way you want her or might want in the future. I just can't help thinking about this", one thing Edric didn't like about Alex was this. Sometimes he would act overly worried for him. He wasn't a toddler to have his dad and stepbrother always concerned for him. For damn sake, he was soon turning twenty-seven.
"Don't get hurt please", giving him a sympathetic look, Alex left the house.
He was unable to comprehend why his brother was overreacting to him wanting to have one night with the girl. It wasn't the first time he had seen a girl and thought to lay her on the bed. The off the track thing that happened this time was that the girl he wished to be under him was already sitting on his bed. He had never had sex in his room. However, an exception was always welcomed.
"If you really want to see me naked, better use your hands to undress me than your gaze."
Scarlett's palms dipped into the soft mattress as she lifted herself to her heels and tripped her way to the boy.
"I feel tingles all over my body", chortling at the queer sensation, she was about to stumble to the side when Edric's arms held her in the position. He watched the professor intently. She was drunk that night but not this wasted. Then his gaze fell on those brownies that were left on his bed.
"Did you eat that whole plate of weed brownies?", his eyes slightly widened. She had never had weed, explained how she got that high.
"Not all. I don't like nuts", pulling on a disgusted face, she turned her head to have a quick glance at the pieces she had abandoned and then look back at Edric.
"I only ate nine but don't tell my mom. She doesn't let me eat too much of sweet", rounding her lips in a pout, she wiped a fake tear in the corner of her eye. She wasn't just high. She was high-high.
"Do you want to kiss me?", words sprouted out of the boy's mouth out of nowhere. He never asked for permission to kiss. But having the girl he gave his mom's necklace to in his arms, faces inches apart, it simply slipped out.
"Do you want me to kiss you?", her lips curled into a big cheeky grin, her eyes enclosing a faint sparkle.
"Yes", Edric couldn't tell if he was the reason behind that soft, dreamy glow, he just wanted to capture her whole within him. He wouldn't force himself on her. If the girl went in, he wouldn't pull himself out either.
Hearing his affirmation, the professor leaned close and closer for their noses to slightly brush. Her hands were laid over his chest. It was either to close the gap between them or maintain a good distance to prevent their bodies from being pressed together. It couldn't be said which was the case here.
The girl could feel his hot breath fanning her flushed skin. She didn't make a move for what looked like ten seconds, letting his sexy, warm breath caress her reddened face. It was like when you were sweating loads in the scorching heat of a dessert but a blow of hot air would feel a blessing in disguise. After a couple of more seconds, she opened her eyes to look into the eyes of the boy and landed her lips...
