Chapter 34
I heard nothing from Dean that night.
No texts, no calls; nothing.
And I just have to admit, it kind of hurt.
I don't know what I was expecting, maybe an apology via text, a voicemail, a plea from Chris, something. But he didn't do anything and I hated the fact that I was waiting for him to.
I looked at my phone every ten minutes to see if there was anything from Dean and my heart sank every time I saw nothing. Whenever my phone would vibrate with a notification, I'd hurriedly take it and get disappointed when I see that it has nothing to do with him.
Maybe he really didn't care anymore.
Maybe he never really did.
I shook that thought out of my head because I could just have been overreacting. And then I asked myself, if he had called, would I have picked up? Would I have heard him out? That, I wasn't sure of.
Chapter 35"Grace, your date is here!" I heard Chris yell from the living room.I took one last glance at myself as I heard Kyle and Chris having a conversation. I was dressed in a tight long sleeved baby pink top and dark blue skinny jeans. I had my favorite black boots on and a long black coat over the pink top. My hair was let down in loose curls and I had worn a mild casual makeup on my face.I took a deep breath and said to myself, "You've got this."I placed my phone, mascara and lipstick in my purse and walked out of my room and into the living room.Kyle and Chris ended their conversation immediately they spotted me.Kyle smiled at me as I walked over to him, "You look pretty.""Thank you." I smiled as he kissed my cheek. "You look good too."Kyle was dressed in a long sleeved blue-black button up shirt and black jea
Chapter 36Hanging out with Kyle these past few days has been wonderful. We had both learned more about each other. Kyle was also very nice, sweet and had an amazing sense of humor. He lovedlistening to music and his favorite genre was hip hop, he liked the way of the African American culture and strongly disliked racism. His favorite color was red and he wasn't a natural blonde; he dyed it when he was 14.It was nice learning more about Kyle.But, did I like him in that way? Did I see him as anything more than a friend?That, I didn't know.But, we learn to walk before we run, right?Kyle and I had just finished for the day and he insisted he walked me to my ride. He held my hand in his, intertwining our fingers and although it felt weird to have them like that, I left it there because I knew I would get used to the feeling in only a matter of time.
Chapter 37Just as promised, the party was a small one. The house wasn't void of a lot of people entirely but it wasn't packed either. It had this comfortable and snug aura. But that didn't mean that there wasn't any alcohol, drugs, loud music and sluts. All of those were present, trust me.By the time Kyle and I arrived at the party, there were only a little number of people. But as time passed by, more people arrived.Chris and Dean hadn't come yet.Kyle led me to the dining, where a circle of friends stood."Hey guys!" Kyle chirped.They all returned his greeting with smiles on their faces.A taller guy was the first to notice me. He smiled widely at me and stood in front of me, "You must be Grace!""That I am." I said, offering a polite smile."It's so nice to finally meet you." He be
Chapter 38It was exhilarating, every single second of it.His hands cupped my face gently, caressing my skin tenderly. I pressed my body closer to his as I wrapped my hands around his neck, one going up his neck and into his soft hair. Our lips moved slowly, leisurely, like we were savoring these sweet moments with our lips together.I felt Dean's tongue nibble on my bottom lip and I parted my lips slightly, granting him entrance. And immediately our tongues met one another's, the slow and leisure movement didn't feel enough anymore.My insides felt like jelly as our tongues danced with one another, tasting him, feeling him, every little wonder of his mouth. I let out a soft moan when his hands went down to grasp my waist, his fingers on my bare skin, making them feel like they were on fire.Dean placed his hands under my thighs and lifted me off the
Chapter 39It had been a week since I had been ignoring Dean.I wouldn't like to use the word 'ignoring' but I knew that was exactly what I was doing and I wasn't one to sugar coat things.Not a day went by that he didn't call, or text. And each time he did, I ignored them. Most times, I'd read through our old texts and sometimes, I'd see the three dots pop up, but I won't receive anything. It'd just be there for a long time.Most times, I'd see him lurking around my department, like he was trying to reach out to me and talk to me but at the same time he was scared to because he wanted so much to respect my wishes. And each time, all I'd want it do is walk up to him and let him drive me home as we listen to our favorite songs on the radio but I couldn't.There was this day, I saw his car around but not him and as I tried to look out for him. I saw him and Jenna seated
Chapter 40Chris sped through the streets of Santa Clara and parked at the bar in not less than 6 minutes. The car wasn't even fully parked when I opened the door and barged out of it. I waited for Chris to step down from the car but he just sat there quietly, trying to look into the bar."Hey, you coming?" I asked."Nah, just go ahead." He said to me. "I think seeing you will be for the best. If you need help carrying him, just call or something.""You sure?" I raised an eyebrow.He nodded.I made my way toward the front door of the bar and walked in. I continued to walk when my eyes spotted Dean's back, fully slouched, his hair a toppled mess on his head. I could make out the drink in his hand. I was about to walk up to him but stopped in my tracks wh
Chapter 41Immediately we were in Dean's bedroom, he shut the door and pressed my back against it. In a swift moment, his lips were on mine again and I felt my insides explode. I reached to cup his face in my hands but he held them in place and pinned them above my head to the door. I couldn't help the moan that escaped me immediately our tongues met each other's.Our lips moved in perfect sync, leisurely, selfishly. I let out a heavy breath when his lips made their way to my neck, working their magic on them. His hands found their way under my thighs and lifted me up effortlessly. I wrapped my legs around his waist and ran my hand through his hair. His hair was full and soft, just like his lips.I made a sound so low in my throat as I felt Dean suck hard on my neck, moving away from his door and placing me on his cupboard, my butt pushing a few items to the floor. I couldn't care less a
Chapter 42"Grace, your boyfriend's here!" I heard Chris yell from the living room.I bit my lip as my heart began to race. I took a quick glance at my reflection in the mirror. I let out an exasperated sigh when I tried to get my hair in place.I frowned as I ran a hand through my hair, "More makeup, perhaps?" I bit my lip and looked at my back view over my shoulder. "No. No more makeup."Ugh! I looked so ugly!I was dressed in a black leather jacket over a purple floral summer dress with a sweetheart neckline, which ended a little above my knees with black heels on my feet. I groaned as I picked up a scrunchy from my vanity and tied my hair up in a loose ponytail."Grace!" I heard Chris shout again. "What's the hold up?!""I'm coming!" I shouted back.I placed my phone and lip g
