My head hurts waking up next to Tala. He was very gentle for being my first time, but I still don't feel like he made love to me, not the way Nico would have. I feel a little crampy in my stomach, similar to having a period. Probably my nerves. My mistake was a huge one, and I hope I won't lose Nico as a result. While Nico was disappointed, he could have this if he wanted to.
"Last night was great," Tala Whispers in my ear as he kisses my neck. His warm breath on my neck makes me feel ticklish forcing a laugh.
He grabs my body pulling it closer into his side.
"I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship."
I feel the frown take over my face.
So I know what you're thinking. How did I end up with Tala? Well, I stormed off the vampire cave feeling rejected by Nico. Immature and pretty stupid. I ended up at this after-party from the homecoming dance, one where all the cool kids were invited and of course, had a couple of beers unsupervised one thing led to another and I ended up in Tala's bed. Sounds like your classic mistake right? Wrong? Smoke and Forest are very much still family friends, but we weren't as close as Aunt Riya and Uncle Dev. Tala was definitely on my dad's list of not-welcome boyfriends. Smoke is a little rude and arrogant, He and my father don't always see eye to eye. He is going to flip. You think being eighteen I can make my own decisions. This is going to be an outright mess.
Hearing a pounding on the door, makes me shoot right up in bed. This can't be Dad, I repeat over in my head. Please, please.
"Tala, open up now," I hear my dad's voice.
Shit fuck. "I am not here," I whisper.
I see the color drain from Tala's face and he realizes what a horrible situation we're both about to be in. His dad is probably going to kill him, well that's if my dad doesn't do it first.
"What do you want, Chetan?"
"My daughter." His voice was deep, it didn't sound angry but demanding.
"She's not here."
"Cut the shit I tracked her phone here."
Grumbling in frustration, I lay back down on the bed. My dad, Nico. I'm going to have two men who are very mad at me.
So we can pretty much skip over what happens next. My dad was obviously livid. There was a verbal exchange between him and Smoke that wasn't very pleasant. My parents are overprotective, according to Smoke. My dad says he needs to get a handle on his son because he's becoming a man whore like him. And Nico hated me for months afterward. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree I fucked up just like my mom did with Ajay.
