Stealing the bad boys heart

Chapter Nine - Bonfire part two

Amelia’s P.O.V

It was after midnight and the place was still in full swing. I was actually enjoying myself. No one had given me any bother just like Matt said.

“Matt you want some?” his friend Steven asked

I looked up seeing what Steven meant. My question was soon answered when I see a small plastic bag in his hand with white powder in it...cocaine really? Surely Matt does not take that crap?

“Yes, sure thing,” Matt smirked taking the bag from him

Is he being serious right now? If his father knew he was doing drugs he would be turning on his grave.

“You are joking, right? You are seriously gonna take that?” I hissed at him

“Yes. It’s only a little coke, calm down.” He laughed

Calm down? He is lucky I don’t slap some sense into him.

I never said anything. The look on my face probably told him everything he needs to know. I shook my head in disappointment. He shrugged like it was nothing before taking some of it. He reached his hand out to Ethan, 

“No thanks, mate,” Ethan said shaking his head

I have never felt more disappointed in Matt. His dad since we were kids made sure we knew the danger of drugs. He made sure we were sensible enough not to touch it. My Uncle Tom lost his little brother to a drug overdose...his little brother was only twenty- six at the time. Uncle Tom was against them cause he knew the damage they can do that is why I don’t understand why Matt would touch them...he was Matt’s hero.

I couldn’t stand around any longer watching him take it so I turned, walking away, 

“Amelia where you going?” Matt called after me

“Away from you.” I hissed not saying another word before walking away, sitting on a bench out of everyone s way.

I was trying to stop myself from crying cause thinking about my Uncle Tom was making me miss him all over again. I felt a few stray tears fall, quick to wipe them away.

“Amelia?” I heard someone say

I knew it was Ethan by the way my body shivered with my name falling from his lips. I looked up, shaking my head. Ethan came over, sitting down next to me.

“My Uncle Tome would be so disappointed in him.” I sighed

“I know he would. But he is hurting Amelia, it helps him cope.” He said

“Helps him cope? What does, the one thing his father hated? That’s not coping, that’s disappointing. I knew he was dealing with it all his own way but I never expected part of that to be drugs especially since that is what he lost his uncle too.” I sighed

“I know but all we can do it let him deal with it the ways he thinks help,” her said wrapping his arm around my shoulder

I took a deep breath before resting my head on his shoulder, 

“I am just worried. I can’t lose him too,” I said a small sob falling from my lips

“You won't...he knows his limits.’ He said

I looked up at him, finding his soft eyes on me. He reached in, wiping the stray tears away from my cheeks.

“Do you do them too?” I asked

I think I already knew the answer but still wanted to ask. He nodded, shame in his eyes when he did.

“The two of you need to stop it,” I said

He hung his head in shame. If he is so ashamed why do it? I guess at the end of the day it’s none of my business. Matt is my cousin that’s different, that is my business. Ethan slowly looked back up at me, his eyes catching mine. There was a silence between us.

“About this morning Amelia. Sorry I acted like a jackass for the rest of the day. I felt rejected by you and that is one thing I am not used too. I am used to getting what I want.” He said

I was hoping that subject would not be brought up again but I guess he had other ideas. I thought for a moment, making sure I never said the wrong thing to him before replying.

“I was not rejecting you, Ethan. I was just in slight shock from it all,” I said

“You never hated it?” he asked, his face lightening up a little

I giggled, shaking my head. I was not gonna tell him the part where his kiss made me entire body weak. He does not need to know that information. He seemed to relax a little after that.

“If I tried it again right now you wouldn’t pull away?” he asked, placing his hand on my thigh

“What if Matt sees or someone else sees and tells Matt?” I said softly

“They won’t. They are all busy and it’s dark.” He said

With every word he said, the closer he was inching towards me. The weaker my body became. I looked around, seeing Matt making out with some girl. One he does not even like the way he likes Paris. He looked busy, might as well risk it uh? I turned back to face Ethan and nodded my head. His lips came towards mine as soon as the touch I felt my lips tingle. I moaned softly against his lips, kissing him back. I wrapped my arms around his neck, while he used his hand to take my cheek in his hand, the other staying on my thigh.

I flicked my tongue against his lips. Him parting his lips and giving me the access I was craving from him right now. I pushed my tongue against his, a groan falling from his lips before he started moving his tongue with mine. I whimpered at the feeling that I have been wanting again since this morning. I played with his hair on the back of his neck as the kiss became more heated. I know I should stop in case we get caught but right at this moment, I was not caring. There was something sensual and sweet about the kiss we were sharing. It lasted a few minutes before we had to pull away to catch our breath.

I slowly opened my eyes to look at him. I see him run his finger over his bottom lip, telling me my lips are not the only ones tingling.

“Mmm, your lips taste sweet.” He said, licking his own lips

I nodded, smiling. My lips not letting me say a word. I took my lower lip between my teeth gentle chewing on it, his eyes still on me making me feel slightly nervous.

“Ethan. Amelia?” I heard Matt’s voice call out

The two of us quick to pull away.

“Over at the bench,” Ethan called back

Matt was soon appearing in front of us. A guilty look in his eyes when he looked at me, 

“Amelia I am sorry I should never have done that especially in front of you.” He said

“Matt you should not have been doing it all. I thought you knew better. You know how much your dad hated drugs because he lost his little brother to them. He saw what they did to people every day. I know you are hurting but that s**t isn't the answer.” I said

“I know it isn't Amelia but it helps even for a moment. It helps ease the pain.” He sighed “please don’t hate me, Amelia.” He added

“Of course I don’t hate you… disappointed yes...hate You no.” I sighed

“I’m sorry.” He said

“Just be careful OK?” I said, Matt, nodding “I am gonna head home you two staying?” I added

“I am. I don’t want you going home alone Amelia.” Matt said

“I will go back with her, not really feeling it tonight.” Ethan said

“OK, that’s fine. I will get another lift home. We can talk tomorrow ok dork?” Matt said

I nodded. Ethan and I hugged Matt before he went back to everyone.

“Ethan stay if you want. I will be fine.” I smiled

“No, I don’t wanna stay. Let’s go.” He smiled reaching his hand out for me. 

I nodded, nervously placing my hand in his, heading back to the car. I was just hoping Matt would be OK and get home alright. I will try talk sense into him Tomorrow.
