First kiss

I felt bad for shouting at him so I apologized. I sighed fidgeting with my fingers and said, "I'm sorry too. I am mad at your brother and I took out on you." I hesitantly went up to him and gave him a short hug.

"It's fine. I know how annoying he can be and now that you are here we can both annoy the hell out of him," Theodore's brother said winking at me and we both laughed.

"Ahem ahem! I'm still here," Theodore said sarcastically. I just rolled my eyes at him and his brother pulled out his tongue at him.

"Great! Now I have two people to annoy the shit out of me," he mumbled leaving the room. "I'm Xavier by the way," he said introducing himself. "I'm Andrea," I said.

Surprisingly after that day Xavier became my best friend and I hung out with him a lot. I did school online and as for Theodore, he was our legal guardian but we didn't get to see him always because of his work.

I still hate him though. I wasn't about to let the fact that he had killed my dad go just like that. One night I was fast asleep when I heard a loud bang downstairs which made me jolt awake.

I checked the time on the alarm clock and wondered who would barge into the house like that at one in the morning.

I shoved Xavier's arm trying to wake him up but he just turned around and went back to sleep. We were watching a movie last night in my room and we both ended up falling asleep with the television still on.

I got out of bed and turned off the television. I took my phone in my hand just for safety and tiptoed downstairs.

"Hello?" I quietly said when I reached down the stairs. I heard some rustling in the kitchen and went towards the sound. "Who is it?" I said and the person groaned. "Me," the person said and that voice was really recognizing.

Turns out it was Theodore and he was drunk. I took the bottle of alcohol from him and he turned to me furious. "Give that back," he said trying to take the bottle back but I hid it behind me.

He slammed his hands on the wall next to my head and leaned closer to me.

"Give me the damn bottle," he said through gritted teeth but I just shook my head in refusal.

He has had enough alcohol for a day or a month probably and he wanted more? Not happening on my watch.

"Listen little girl," he said putting his hand around my neck, "give it to me or else..." he threatened tightening his hold around my neck with a crazy look in his eyes.

I struggled to breath but I still refused. What is wrong with him? Does he want to hurt himself? He tightened his hold around my neck more and I gasped taking in a deep breath coughing as tears came out of my eyes.

"Dude leave her the hell alone." That was Xavier pulling Theodore away me. I dropped the bottle out of shock and glass scattered everywhere. I run to Xander and hugged him crying.

"Andy it's fine. Everything is okay," he whispered to me hugging me and rubbing my back in comfort.

Theodore just glared at us and walked to his room.

Xander sent me up to my room a few minutes later but I couldn't help but be worried about Theodore. "Will he be fine?" I asked. "Yeah he will," Xander responded tucking me into bed.

"Goodnight Andy," he said kissing my forehead and left the room. I went to bed dreading what was going to happen the next day.

I woke up the next day like nothing had happened and got dressed before heading down to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for myself and the boys.

I took a nutella jar and a spoon and scooped it into my mouth Speaking of the boys, I remembered about Theodore and frowned wondering if he was okay.

I fetched a glass of water and took the advil from the top drawer deciding to send it to him. Right that moment Theodore stepped into the kitchen. I handed the advil and the glass of water to him. "Take this for your headache," I said.

Theodore hesitantly took the pills and looked at the water suspiciously. I sighed and drunk some of the water.

"See? I didn't poison it. Now have it," he finally took the advil and looked at my neck guilty. I'm guessing he could see his handprint. "I'm sorry Andrea. I was jea- mad," he said.

"It's fine Theo," I said smiling at him. Something probably made him mad at work. He walked two steps towards me a I stepped back bumping into a wall.

"There is something..." He trailed of wiping the corner of my lips with his thumb and looked at me. "Oh it's nutella," I said and happily licked it off his thumb moaning. I love nutella so so much. I looked at him only to catch him staring at me. "What?" I asked.

He lifted me up turning me around and sitting me on the counter making me squeal and hold on to him.

"Theodore," I giggled. "Hm?" He wrapped his right hand around my small waist and used his left hand to caress my cheek. He usually did this when he wanted a hug but this time he slammed his lips on mine without warning and kissed me.

No I didn't kiss him back. I was too shocked to even react but the butterflies I felt in my stomach told me I liked it. "What?" Xavier said from the doorway shocked at what he had witnessed and I pushed Theodore away from me immediately.

"Why did you do that?" Xander yelled at his brother. "Relax bro," Theodore said. Xavier snorted, "Relax? You want me to relax?"
