Leah
It was still early in the cool morning, just me on the cozy huge bed. I searched for Haze who was snuggling with me, but has gone to take a cold shower. I just kissed his cheek and bit his jaw to wake him up, and he got over me with a hunter's eye but eventually decided against something.
Now, he refuses to come out from there. I think I upsetted him again.
He is getting weirder and weirder since yester night.
I waited for so long, but he wasn't getting out any moment. Huff. My sleep have already dissipated from me, sleeping more than I should is bad for my body.
I right away took my night clothes off to change into normal attire.
"Haze?" I knocked at the door ensure he's doing fine, "are you alright?"
"..Sorry, I will be just be there in a minute."
The sound of the running water stopped.
The door slides open and my mouth makes an 'O' shape as my feat slipped right when I set my foot on the wet floors. I thought my head and butt will hit the ground soon, but it didn't happen.
Haze was fast to act and grabbed my hands that I had thrown it in the air when I panicked.
"Are you cursed or something? Not even the sun touched the sky and the bad luck is already catching up to you." Haze pulled me closer to his chest and he was just wrapped with towel down there. His hair was soaked too, water dripping over his exposed body. Wow... perfect body for an old man, even better than any other hot guys out there.
How can look so charismatic all the time.. it's not fair that he gets to shake me from my ground every second of my life! Author! You are too much!
"It's ok," I brushed him off like it was nothing, "can I now.. use the washroom? I wanna revive myself.. you took long enough in here.. what were you doing??" My hands was touching his hands that got cold from the 'cold bath' that he took. I held his hands between mine and rubbed with the pressure on it.
"See! You will catch cold! You are being silly now! Use your common sense!" I huffed like a bull, narrowing my eyes. Then, pulled the other towel from the hanger and pull it over his head.
"Can you bend over? I can't reach." I said distressed over not able to reach up, and then I felt the mischievous sly smile on his face. Like I thought, instead he carried me up leaving no gap between up.
"Woah! I will fall!" I involuntary burst out as I layed my eyes below me looking at the taunting Haze.
"Are you now getting a better view of me shorty~?" He called me another endearing name for me again. I take that as an offense. Humph. I still have my dignity you know.
"Nope, I am not." I denied, now ruffling his hair with the towel. So, I was done. "Can you put me down? I need to-" I wiggled in his arm and patiently waited for him to let me go when he refused to comply.
"Only if you give me what I want," he wants to negotiate a deal now.
I roled my eyes. "Name it."
"A kiss." I pecked on his cheek, though I was dying inside. Yester night was just... my daunting eruption shutting all my rational pride. The one in front of you here is the same old me; stubborn introvert kid.
"It was quick. This time, it should be more.. exciting." Exciting as in.... not that right?
He is asking too much now. Give an inch take a mile. Do you guys know what I did after? I moved nearer and nearer closing my eyes, but then I pinched both his nape of his neck and pushed him out off the door as soon as he loosen the arm, then slamming the door close.
"And stay out! I need time of own too." I said from the in.
"You won't be able to resist this dashing guy for long! I guarantee you!" Said the guy from the other side, excessively narcissistic and arrogant.
Yeah yeah. Just because I said I lost doesn't mean I will dance on the palm of his hand. I will decide, later.
About an hour later...
"S-stop it! I am going to miss the class!" I fought flapping my hands at him as he clings onto me, taking his revenge on me for earlier.
"In that case, I want my reward," he commands, not request, pinning me to the wall in the hall way. We were out from our room and I had to go or else.. I will be late again. I was groaning and throwing tantrum.
He restrained my hands to the side of my head, caging me making it impossible to run, "This is not going to save you from me this time." I wanted to yell, but when I raised my head up, I completely zipped my mouth quivering. Oh... I know that eyes. It's like this morning.
Without wasting any more of the precious time, he attacked my mouth fighting with his tongue in mine.
"Mmph." It feels weird. I thought it was just a simple kiss! He was only dominating the kiss deepening it tilting his head and my saliva drooling from the corner of my lips.
Both the hands were pulled above my head with one hand and the other removed the top button of my shirt. My stomach was flipping over, I was burning. This sensation was all new to me. My legs gave in, but carried me spreading my legs around his torso without leaving my lips.
I couldn't think straight anymore.
His touch, his hands, his warmth all are addictive drugs for me. One side of me says to go with the flow, but the fear is opposing this sinful act. Those judging words.. I am scared.. but.. my body yearns for it, more of this lips. He nuzzled and traced butterfly kisses down my collar bone.
"Ah..!" He's sucking it in really arousing way, arching my back. "stop! S-ah!" It feels like I am creating more friction between us if I move, but I can't stop myself.. it's like moving on it's own.
I squirmed a bit as I sniffled back my tears, to get him to stop or else.. I am going to lose my mind, both in this crazy temptation and also to my fear.
Help me.. please.. I can't... I want to stop myself.. I lightly panicked.
"What the fuck! Let him go, you pedophile! Get away from him you nasty rascal!" Both of us were startled by the sudden voice coming from the far corner of the hall.
That guy was dress in a funny way, with a cowboy hat on his head, hand bag over his shoulder, round blur spectacles and a red mark of a slap on his face. I landed on my wobbling feets and hugged Haze's arms.
'Who's is this oddball?'
"What a day. *heaves*" Haze slowly let's me down and hides me behind his back protectively.
"Braise yourself you scoundrel!" He dropped all the stuffs on the ground and flings the attack to Haze leaving me out of it. I was mentally shocked by this crazy man marching madly at Haze, but not me.
"Tsk. Too slow." Haze smirked as I shut my eyes, look away.
I couldn't see what was going on, but when he takes down his hand from my sight, that guy's face showed anguish written all over his face and touched his side.
"Argh.." he yelped but held his ground firm.
"You don't like violence, but I think it's better for you to learn this tactic. Stay calm. Stay cool. Let others guard down and.." he look at the guy mocking, "catch this hooligans off guard." He was about to strike one more hit, but then I realised too late when the glasses dropped from his face and embrace Haze's back.
"Stop! It's brother!" I exclaimed, just an inch left to hit my brother's face.
"...brother? This....mad rogue?" Oh.. that was rude though it was the fact.
"Who... is this guy, Leah?" Brother inquired me, trying to stand with the support of the wall.
"Haze?" I said, confused. He was the one who told me about him. It's too strange that Luca never saw him...
"Haze? You mean.... you two live together, alone! But mom and dad told me this! Doing that..!!" This must be a news to him too. I thought he planned it all out.
"Can't you not shout!" The heels clicked the floor, and behind him stands... Sara, "forgive this idiotic intrusion of his. We came to see our dear brother. That's all. He hasn't been away from home for this long, so we were worried that he must be not well." Sara explained, much matured than Luca. She can make a good business woman.
Haze held my shoulder, whispering, "you should go. I will entertain them for awhile."
Then he lovingly pecked a kiss in my forehead. Oi! I was getting sweaty and nervous. We were in front of my sibbling! Even though, not my blood.
"..uh.. mmm," I said and ran pass them. I hope atleast he can make a good impression if not the best. Or what worse can happen is... anger Haze. I can tell his temper is not that good when I am not around. It's not that I am worried about Haze and I would have not cared if it gets turned upside down.
"Why were you late this morning?" Casper passed me the sheet of paper on my desk, and it was our fourth class while the professor was busy checking the books who left us to self study without making noises.
I wrote back, "long story. Luca is here.
Haze is with him. I got stuck. Now stop asking." Then passed it over.
"Can you spare me a moment later?"
Casper again threw me the paper. Now he was pleasing seriously.
"What for? Tryin to ask me out?" I hissed annoyed.
I wanted to pass him, but the teacher caught us red hand then reading it out loud to the whole class.
"Oh really?" Ms. Ruby pushed her spectacles up her nose, frowning at us and crossed her hands, "detention. Both of you. There you can confess alone, perfect opportunity, isn't it." She gave a mocking remark.
Everyone laughed at us.
"It is," said Casper dragging me along out of the room and leaving everyone stock-still.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked him after we reached the detention room. We were the only one in this room.
He exhaled out nervously chewing his lips and gathering up the courage to speak up.
"I have made up my mind. I promised the others that I will formally say this and get ready for the worse."
"What do you mean?"
"Leah, I liked you the moment you first entered the class. I know I am late and I don't expect you to think me any different than now. I loved your sweet voice and how you ignored me, but then apologising sincerely. You.. were and are different and unique. Kind. And pretty as a bonus. Haha. And... I care about you, so I won't lie. I just wanted to say, I love you. And whatever your decision is, I will always accept it."
I.. my expression remained indiferent.
"Who knows about this?" I have a hunch something happened.
"Alfron, Pal and Nita." He said and then interjected, "from the hostile look I received from your possessive lover, I am 100% sure that he knows too."
I was the last to know. And all this time, his aggressiveness were all possessiveness!
"Listen," I reluctantly told him the truth, "with me dealing with mental issues, I never thought about getting involved in getting together with anyone. You're awesome friend I will say but with him.... things just happens unexpectedly. We never know."
I thought atmosphere would turn awkward. Nevertheless it didn't not.
"I can see why. That dude's out way too crazy to let you go in the first place. He did say, 'it's saver to stay out my way'." He imitated the way Haze would coolly says, but it was so funny for him to flip his hair and showing off. I laughed at him.
"You are... so you!" I couldn't help myself as my stomach hurted so much. I slapped his back, playfully.
"Good thing we'll be fine," he said, shaking hands as a friend.
"Yeah."
I think he can be trusted now.
"Is Leah here?" A woman in her formal dress came in, with a file, glasses and short skirt on top that.
"Yes?" I moved forward and she notioned me to follow her that I did.
"The Principal asked for your presense."
"Why is that? Any clue?" I asked.
She didn't wait and we walked to the door.
In the room, I found my raging brother as he demanded, "Leah, I want you to sue Mr. Haze Stevens for the sexual assault of the child and tell the Principal the truth of manipulating you!"
What just happened that Luca was so angry at Haze and that he was going far enough to get him arrested?
I had no idea that my clown like brother would finally be enraged to this extent... I freaked out.
What do I do? I... Haze? What did you do?
