Friends Don’t Do That

Chapter 4: Friends don’t do that . 

He looked at me like he was yearning for it too… like he was holding himself back.

“Ariana…” his voice was low and strained. “If I start, I won’t be able to control myself. You’re getting married to my brother.”

“I know,” I whispered. “I know everything… and I still want this.”

“This is wrong,” he said again, shaking his head. “This will destroy everything.”

“Everything is already destroyed,” I cried. “Tomorrow I’ll belong to a man who doesn’t even love me. Just tonight… let me feel like someone chose me.”

He turned away from me like he was trying to breathe.

“I’ve loved you for too long to touch you like this,” he said quietly..

“You… what?” my voice broke..

“I want this too …I came in here to see if I could talk you out of this wedding ,” he said.  I’ve wanted you long before any wedding existed, I don’t want you to marry him ”

Tears slipped down my face again.

“Then don’t stop,” I whispered. “Please don’t stop.”

He walked back to me slowly.

His hands hovered in the air like he was afraid to touch me.

Then his palm cupped my face, His breath mixed with my heavy breathing .

“Ariana…” he whispered so close to me .

I answered by pulling him in.

“ I don’t care …I want this “ 

It felt like he was waiting for me to confirm that I didn’t care , that I knew the circumstances of what I was doing , having sex with my best friend, my brother in law to be , he wanted to be sure that I knew what I wanted . .

“This will ruin us,” he murmured.

“Then ruin me,” I whispered.

His control snapped like he couldn’t control himself anymore , he grabbed me by my waist and started kissing me , I leaned in for more and he  kissed me harder, he pulled me  against him.

My back hit the bed and he froze above me.

“Say stop and I will,” he said as we both struggled to take our clothes off .

“Don’t stop,” I whispered.

So he didn’t and we didn’t hold back , I could hear his heart racing as he brushed my hair, his hands moved to the dress and he took it off, his eyes still on me and when his eyes landed on my body, his eyes looked amazed . 

“ You are ethereal “ He said as he lifted me to the bed , our lips locked again , I let out a soft moan as his hands moved to my tighs , his hands traced the curves of my body I responded to him, arching into him , I moved my hands in his trousers and he was hard , I stroked for a while and he pressed a kiss on my neck. 

“ Levi….” I called out . 

“ Ariana…” He replied his breath hitched, I searched for his eyes and there was this hunger that matched mine . 

He kissed my tighs and that was how everything escalated, we crossed boundaries. 

After minutes of being entangled in each other’s skin , We both cummed , I lay there gasping for breath , he still held my hands . 

“ What do we do now , we can’t pretend any longer …Friends don’t do what we just did …” 

Levi said almost immediately and I just sighed , Was it too early to have regrets? 

I looked at the time , it was almost midnight , my wedding day , my phone beeped, I grabbed my dress and my phone , It was Tommy . 

“ Where are you ? Have been searching all over the place , they want to take pictures !” 

Levi grabbed my wrist. 

“ Don’t go ….” 

“ Levi, I’m getting married in few hours “ 

“ And so what ? You didn’t sound like you wanted it , you said you didn’t want to marry him ? You said it yourself…” 

At that moment , I didn’t know how it happened but I felt a pang of regret immediately, there was nothing I can do to stop the wedding , everything was set , It was happening…what just happened tonight, it was a mistake, I turned to Levi , I took a deep breath and said. 

“ Forget this ever happened ! Let it be our little secret ! This …It never happened “ 

“ Ariana ! What are you saying? I can never pretend this didn’t happened , I just had you in my arms …You and I we just _” 

“ Levi ! You know I can’t do anything to stop the wedding! You are dating my sister ! I am getting married to your brother ! Let’s say we made a mistake …I was stupid , I didn’t mean anything I said ! It was a mistake ! I swear …” 

“ Liar ! You are scared …”  He said and I rushed to sit in the drawer , The realization of what I just did was rushing to me , Levi and I couldn’t be just friends again , It was impossible! 

“ Ariana …I know you are scared but …” 

There was a knock on my door …

I gasped and turned to Levi , he didn’t seem scared , he was still staring at me . 

“ Ariana , are you in there ?” 

It was Tommy .
