783 Words
It was a kiss meant to scare me.However I wanted the kiss a lot more than he wanted to teach me a lesson.
I wrapped my hands around his neck and pulled him closer to deepen the kiss.
When his tongue thrust into my mouth I thought I would die of pleasure.I pressed our bodies closer together and moaned as his hold on my waist tightened.
At first I felt his surprise at my response to his kiss but then too soon his realization of what he was doing.
With an abrubt halt he pushed me away from him,keeping me at arms length.
"Damn it!"he half whispered half shouted.His breathing was rasping hard and his eyes weren't as cold as it were just a few minutes ago.Instead it was dark with what I hoped was desire.
"Where the hell did you learn to kiss like that?"he demanded.
I blinked twice still in shock from our kiss."I just learnt from you."I answered honestly.
His eyes narrowed."You expect me to believe that?"he asked harshly.
I frowned at him."I learnt from all the boyfriends I had before."I snapped."Is that what you want me to say?"I added angrily.
I've only ever gotten a kiss once from a guy and it was nothing like this,it was just a peck on the lips but it didn't seem like John would believe me.
He was about to say something when the car door flew open.
"What the hell is going on in here?"
I looked up and stared at my brother in shock ,aware that we weren't in a decent position.
"Brent-"
"I'm asking him."he cut me off glaring at John.
"We were talking-"
"I don't see how talking could lead to the position you're in now."he snapped.
"The truth is that I wasn't feeling too well and fell on John.He was just making sure I was okay."I cut in,not wanting there to be an argument between them.
Brent didn't say anything else,he grabbed my hands roughly and pulled me out from John's lap.
John's jaw clenched angrily as he gave my brother a death stare."I may be your sister's bodyguard but that doesn't mean my position in the agency has changed, I would watch that attitude of yours if I were you."he warned."She isn't feeling too well.Take care of her."he added.
"I don't need you to tell me to take care of my sister.Just keep your distance."
"I will."John replied before reversing out of the driveway.
What did he mean he will?Did he just agree to staying away from me?
Brent dug out the keys from his pocket and opened the front door before grabbing my hands and pulling me into the living room.
"Tell me the truth Rosella.What exactly happened in that car?"he demanded.
"I already told you ."I said holding my head,feeling dizzy.
"Are you drunk?"he asked in shock.
"Nooo"
"Then why do you smell like alcohol?" he asked.
"I don't know."I replied.
"Did John force you to drink?"
"No he didn't!"I shouted.
"Then why are you drunk!How could someone who doesn't drink come home drunk !"he exclaimed."You've never had alcohol before so it must be John
."
"Look it isn't him okay.You don't know what you're talking about."I disagreed.
He sighed."I can't talk to you like this.Go get some sleep but in the morning I want some answers."
I nodded before heading up the stairs.
....................................
I groaned rubbing my head in frustration.
Was everything that happened yesterday real?
I had made a total fool of myself,now John knew that I liked him...
I had also shared my first real kiss with him.
I shivered at the thought of our kiss last night, it made me crave for more.
I squeezed my eyes shut remembering the feel of our bodies pressed intimately together before -
My eyes widened in horror,before my brother caught us in such an awkward position.
Which meant I had to deal with him this morning.
As if on cue there was a knock ony door.
"Come in."I called.
Brent rushed in,still looking pissed from yesterday.
"Are you ready to explain yourself?"he asked.
I furrowed my brows."What are you talking about?"I asked,pretending not to remember anything.
He narrowed his eyes."You mean to tell me you remember nothing from last night?"he asked in disbelief.
I shook my head."I just have a headache,the last thing I remember was attending that birthday party."I lied."Did something happen last night?"
He sighed."No.John is waiting for you downstairs.So get dressed."
My eyes widened in shock."He is here already!"I screeched grabbing my towel and pushing Brent out of the room.
.......................
I took a deep breath and stared at the car parked in our driveway,it was time to confront John.
