Chapter 36
Hanging 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 loved listening 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
Chapter 43Chapter 43"Shhh." I shushed, holding back a giggle. "Shut the fuck up Dean, I'm serious.""Okay, okay." He held his hands up in surrender, stifling a laugh. "I'm not even saying anything, you're the one who can't shut up."I glared at him playfully and he dug his face into my neck, making bear sounds."You are absolutely the worst person in the entire universe." I chuckled softly and jogged away from him, toward the front door, Dean following suit behind me.I placed my index finger above my lip
Chapter 44"Penelope!" Jenna exclaimed as she jogged over to Mrs Ryan."Jenna, dear!" Mrs Ryan embraced her with a beaming smile on her face.That hurt more than it was supposed to."It's so nice to see you again, darling." Mrs Ryan pulled away. "How was your trip here?""It was good." Jenna replied, a smile plastered on her face. "It feels so good to be back in LA after such a long time. Thank you for inviting me here.""Our home would always be your home too, Jenna." Mrs Ryan said lovingly to her.She didn't use that tone of voice with me, she didn't smile like that to me. Hell, she didn't even look pleased to see me. It was obvious to everyone that she loved Jenna, like she was her very own daughter and i
