Bad Things To Love (Book One)

Chapter Seven

            It was just Robbie and I again alone in my dorm. He sat quiet across from me for a few minutes after everyone left. I am sure he was just as surprised by my kiss as everyone else was. The vibe between us felt a little strange now. I could alone assume that he thought I had done it only to make Levi jealous or something. I decided to clear the air before things got even more awkward between us.

            "I'm sorry. I should have not done that."

            "No, I liked it. It's just that it came at a weird time."

            "I know. I don't want you thinking I did it because of Levi because that is not true. Something just told me it was the right moment, so I went for it."

            Robbie smiled while he inched closer to me on the bed. He cupped my face in his hand and leaned his head closer to my face, our lips only inches from each other.

            "I would like to kiss you again if you would be okay with that."

            I nodded my head slightly as my mouth was unable to form the word yes. His lips brushed against mine before he crashed them over mine. His tongue licked my bottom lip asking for permission to enter inside my mouth. I parted my lips slightly to give entry to his tongue. His tongue swirled around mine in a slow sensual movement. I was enjoying our make out session until things took a heated turn. He moved over top of me causing my back to slowly brush against my sheets until I was lying flat on my back.

            Robbie pulled away for just a moment. "You are so beautiful," he said as he brushed my hair back with his hand as his lips found mine again.

            Things turned from innocent kissing to him pressing his erection in between my legs. That is where I had to end things. The last thing I wanted was for him to get the impression I was ready to hand it over to him. I was not that kind of girl and if I was being honest with myself, what we were doing did not really put me in the mood. I always told myself after my mistake with the last guy I had s*x with, that I absolutely would not have s*x again until I knew I was one hundred percent ready.

            "Stop."

            Robbie sat up immediately stopping which I appreciated more than he knew. "I'm sorry if I was being too forward. I want you to know you can stop me at any time that you feel uncomfortable. We can do things at your own pace."

            "Thank you, Robbie, I really appreciate the fact you respect me that much to say that." It was true. It was one of the reasons I liked him like I did. He was willing to go at my speed and even though having a boyfriend was the last thing on my mind, it was nice to have a someone like him I could spend my time with.

            He stood up giving me space as he did. "I enjoyed today with you. If you would let me, I would like to take you out on a date tomorrow evening."

            "What did you have in mind?"

            "You peg me as the kind of girl that is not big into romance, so I was thinking more like bowling or going to the arcade. I know that probably sounds lame, but it was just a thought."

            "No, you are spot on. I would love to go bowling with you."

            Robbie let out the biggest smile I think I had seen from him yet. "Cool. Um...do you mind meeting me at the house from the bonfire?"

            "Yeah that isn't too far from here. I will see you then." I walked him to the door. As I opened the door he bent down and planted a sweet kiss on my lips. It was sweet but a bit weird seeing as I had given him every opportunity to do it before I opened the door. Maybe I was being a bit paranoid.

            "Bye beautiful." Just like that he was gone.

            I was somewhat thankful he had left. I needed sometime to process everything that happened today. It started out as a simple day and ended with a highlight. Now I had a date with a guy I least expected to be interested in. Robbie was not the usual type I went for but who cares about looks and background as long as they treat you with respect. I had to let go of my past in order to move on with my future. I crawled in my bed, covering myself with my covers and before I knew it, I was drifting off to sleep.

            The next day went by rather fast. I grew anxious of my date with Robbie tonight considering my last date here did not go so well. I made a mental note to myself to not bring him to my room tonight. I was in my dorm picking out something to wear trying to pass the time. Since we would be going bowling, I figured the more casual the better. I picked out my best pair of jeans and one of my favorite band t-shirts that covered my chest area. The last thing I wanted was to have his attention focused on my breast more than they were on me.

            After slipping on my shoes and pinning my hair back, it was still early. I paced around the room trying to find something to do to pass the time, but nothing spiked my interest because I was so anxious. I decided I would just head out to the house and wait on him there. The walk would help to calm my nerves.

            The walk was shorter than I remembered it. I walked up to the front door hoping he was home so we could maybe spend a little time together before going out on our date. I rang the doorbell deciding against knocking.

            None other than Levi answered the door. My mouth parted slightly as I took in the sight of him without a shirt. He had never looked so sexy. His hair was messy and hung down in his face giving him a mysterious look, his muscles flexed while he leaned against the door.

            "What do you want?"

            Just like that it was ruined. "I am here to see Robbie. Is he home?'

            "No."

            "Well, we have a date tonight and I got here a little early hoping he would be home. Do you mind if I come in and wait?"

            He did not say anything but signaled with his arm for me to come in. The door slammed behind me making me jump. I took a seat in the living room. With it still light outside I was able to appreciate all the little details about the room. There was a fireplace in the middle of the room against the wall that grabbed my attention the most. A bookcase sat on either side of that grabbed my attention even more. I walked over scanning the books with my index finger. These books clearly had not been read and this was just for decoration. The dust collected on the books made that noticeable.

            "Can I get you anything while you wait for your boyfriend?"

            His voice startled me. "No thanks. Robbie isn't my boyfriend. We are just friends right now."

            "Right." Levi walked closer to me making my breath hitch in my throat. He was standing so close I could feel his hot breath on me. "If you are not together then why did you kiss him? Did you f**k him after I left?"

            I swerved around him creating some distance between us. "No and even if I had it is not any of your business."

            "No? Then tell me what that kiss was about. Did you kiss him just to piss me off?"

            "Again, no. I kissed him because it felt right. I have already told you, you and I are not a thing so I would appreciate it if you stopped telling people we were."

            He licked his lips seductively that sent a chill down my spine. What was he up to? The silence grew between us, so I decided to strike up conversation. This is where I should have just kept my mouth shut. I mean I had no filter, I just said the first thing I was thinking.

            "Tell me something then. What has gone so bad in your life that you feel like you must humiliate women?"

            He c****d his head to the side, not hiding the anger hidden behind his eyes. "Let me guess. Robbie told you a certain story about our freshman year."

            "Yes. Robbie is honest with me."

            "Honest," he muttered under his breath assuming I did not hear him. "I do not have to explain myself to someone like you. Someone that would not even begin to understand. Plus, it wasn't like Mila did not know what she was getting herself into. I do not ever pretend to be something I am not. Just like I did not pretend with her. I never told her I wanted a relationship, never told her I was interested in her other than s*x, and I never fed her some bullshit lies about what a nice guy I am. If she fell for me, it was because of her own doing. I was upfront with her by telling her just what I wanted from her."

            Robbie never did mention that part which did not excuse his actions any less. Levi should have ended it before it got that far but he didn't, he continued to use her for s*x even after knowing she fell for him. I was planning on speaking but he beat me to it.

            "Why the hell am I even explaining myself to you? It is not like you would understand. Look at you, you are so desperate for attention that you are willing to seek it from the likes of Robbie."

            I slapped him. I couldn't help it. Apparently, my body has a mind of its own too. I even gasped at my own actions.

            Levi backed me into a corner making me feel helpless and even a little scared. I knew nothing about him, and he could be one of those guys that liked to abuse women. He never raised his hand up to me like I expected though.

            "You ever do that again, I am going to bend you over my knee and give your ass a good s******g. Thinking about it, you might actually like that."
