Beautiful Trauma

Caitlin's POV

"Okieeee, I want some ice cream!" I cooed, my face puckered as I try to cling to my cousin's arms desperately. Which to my dismay, he kept removing as he pushes me away from him.

"Hey, Caitlin, I'm going to kick you in the shin if you don't stop pulling my jacket. Why did you even drink?" I heard him snicker, but the drunk me thought it's fun to mess around a little more.

So I started whining.

I grunted as I felt my head spinning a little.

The coffee date that I was supposed to have with Yuri ended up with two bottles of beers all for me, and since I am not a heavy drinker, it hit me real hard in no time.

To my surprise, Yuri wasn't even wobbling even though she already had three bottles. Or was it four?

"Yuri!" I smiled at her giving her a V-sign as my hand rested on my cheek, and she looked at me amused. Thankfully, Yuri decided it's safe to bring me home herself instead of leaving me in the hands of the taxi driver, thank God.

"Yuri, I love you!" I exclaimed sending her a lot of finger hearts, and I heard Joon and Justin laughing on the corner.

With a new resolve in mind, I decided to piss these boys since that's what they always do to me.

Come to think of it; I guess being drunk has some benefits after all.

"Woah, something amazing must have happened for her to get drunk like this suddenly," Joon chuckled, and I turned to him as I show him my best puppy eyes look.

"Joonie, it's hot," I told him, my lips pouting and I kicked my shoes off from my feet before sitting comfortably on the couch. And when I said comfortable, I meant sprawling myself all over it, and Oki stood up, unable to handle everything.

"b***h," I told him, and he just rolled his eyes at my direction.

For some reason, I feel so lightheaded, and the place looked so different.

"Well, Caitlin being drunk is fine as long as she stays away from my beloved shoes. The last time she was drunk, she ruined my favourite kicks, you know," Justin added and I grimaced.

"I said yo-" a loud hiccup escaped my lips and from the corner of my eyes, I saw Yuri laughing," I told you I'm sorry!" I tried standing up as I try making my way to the poor boy, but it wasn't two steps yet when I trip on my own feet, my body landing with a loud thud on the floor.

"Yah!" I'm not sure if it's because of their reaction because honestly speaking, I didn't feel anything. My body was numb, and my ears almost defy my sense of hearing.

My head feels so dizzy, and yet I feel like I am so alive. However, the shocked look on their face, or was it worry, took over my sanity and before I knew it, my lips started quivering, tears threatening to spill from the corner of my eyes.

"Yah! Yah! Don't cry!" I heard Oki cursing as he throws Justin a pillow.

I'm not even sure why I feel like crying.

Just then, the door from my room suddenly burst open, and my eyes went wide at the sight of a handsome man.

He was wearing a pair of shorts and a black shirt, his hair dishevelled as if he just woke up from a deep slumber.

The moment our eyes met, I felt it, the loud beating of that organ inside my chest.

Holy s**t.

His eyes, they were so beautiful, and those plump lips look so perfect, I wonder how they would taste in my own.

I gulped.

Why does he seem so familiar?

I watch as Yuri suddenly stood up from her seat and bow towards the guy.

"Sir, I didn't know you also live here," she asked, her voice shaking a little.

Why did she sound so nervous? I pouted.

The guy smiled at her, and for some reason, I felt something tugged from deep within my heart.

"No, I was just visiting my friends," I heard him stated, his eyes focused on me, and I smiled at him before tucking a few strands of my hair behind my ears.

"Hi!" I greeted, and he looked at me, amused. Slowly, he walked towards me, and once he reached my location, he immediately crouched down to level with me.

"Wow, look at her go,"

"Take a video Justin, and I'll make sure Caitlin wouldn't be able to hear the end of this,"

I heard the sound of people chuckling, but I didn't bother checking who they are. Instead, I did not stray my glance off the good-looking man in front of me.

"Caitlin, what are you doing on the floor? It's cold," he whispered, I watch as his face suddenly creased which didn't even make him any less attractive. "Did you had a drink?"

I watch him as his eyes landed back on Oki who just pointed his index finger at Yuri.

"She insisted!" Yuri stated, and I chuckled.

"Hey, beautiful, do you want to have a drink with me too?" I asked the person in front of me and his brows furrowed even more.

A long sigh escaped his lips.

"As much as I would love hearing you calling me beautiful, it's Seth, Caitlin." his face grimaced a bit, and I wanted to reach for his face and feel them.

"Seth" I cooed. And I saw him closed his eyes for a moment as if he was thinking deeply.

"Caitlin, don't even think about drinking again after this. I don't like the idea of you asking some men for a drink," he scowled, and the moment his right hand touches my face, I almost flinched when I felt the surge of electricity running through my body.

"Wow..." I whispered, my eyes wide as I stare at him. "He did you feel that? There was a spark!" I said all giddy, getting all excited and I heard Oki coughing from behind me, so I turned around to look at him.

"Oki, there were sparks!" I exclaimed, and I saw his lopsided grin, his shaking like he's so done with me.

I saw Justin on his phone in front of him, and he was grinning like crazy.

"This is amazing," he said while giving a high-five to Joon.

What's amazing?

And then my eyes landed back to him, or should I say, on his plump reddish lips.

They look so soft.

And then I wondered, will I also feel sparks if I kiss him?

I was too high. I'm not sure if I was still thinking straight or deep inside, I was inquisitive.

With that in thought, I leaned in forward, kissing him on his lips.

The moment our lips touched, his eyes widened but then, his arms wrapped around my waist as he started kissing me back,

And f**k, it didn't just spark. It's as if the time had stopped.

My eyes closed in an instant, and I felt every movement of his lips, and I found myself doing the same thing.

My body felt warm, and the feeling of an electric wire started taking over my entire system.

A moan escaped my mouth as I savour the sweet taste of his lips.

By this time, my ears are already numb due to the loud beating of my heart.

And my body, it felt even hotter than it was earlier. It was a firing sensation, and it was starting to burn inside my chest.

I was kissing him full in the lips when I heard the sound of a few people protesting.

"Get a room!"

"Ewwww! What is this, a live show?!"

"Oh my God!"

I almost pulled him back when I felt him cut off our kiss and I grunted.

My eyes opened, and I saw the glint on his eyes.

Was it hunger?

I watch him as he runs his tongue on his lower lip, and I wanted to bite them even more.

Heavenly, that's how it felt.

My whole body was, and I'm not even sure if it was because of the booze I had, or a Tsunami just hit my entire system.

He cleared his throat before staring back at me.

"Caitlin, let's go. I'll put you to bed," I heard the man stated and I felt my body getting lifted from the cold surface. In an instant, my hands wrapped around his neck as he carried me bridal style.

A loud gasp escaped my lips as I felt his hard chest, but not long after, I started giggling as I pinch his fluffy cheeks.

"So cute," I whispered, and I heard him groan before he stopped right outside the door of my room.

"Oki, open the door," I heard him asked my cousin, and I turned towards Oki and made some derp faces.

"Let's see you acting like that tomorrow when you're back to your senses," he stated, and I started wiggling my feet in excitement as the handsome man named "Seth" carries me towards my bed.

"No!" I started whining as he was trying to put me down on my bed, and I heard him grunt when he almost lost his balance, but I did not remove my hands from his neck.

He looked at me once again, and I grin.

"Can I have another kiss?" I cooed, and I saw a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

He looked at me straight in the eyes, but his answer brought disappointment to my heart.

"I will kiss you endlessly until you started begging for me to stop. But I will when you're sober Caitlin and not when you don't know even half of what you're doing," he whispered.

I looked at him with my puppy eyes, my lips pouting a little and I saw him bite his lower lip.

I was startled when he gave me a quick peck on the lips, but that at least brought a smile on my wavering heart.

"Go to sleep, Caitlin, before I ended up doing something we both know you might hate me for," he whispered, and my eyes closed as I rested my head off his chest.

I felt my body landing on a soft fabric, but I was too exhausted to open my eyes once again. Before I finally lose my consciousness, I was sure I heard someone whispering on my ears.

"I miss you.."
