Chapter 105: Mixed Sentiments

My eyes were wide like circles and my brain shut down, my body unable to move or react. Owen had his eyes shut as he kissed me. I felt a cold chill against my body when his lips roved mine damp and frantic. What should I do? What should I do? That question replicated in my head numerous times and yet I remained still and confused, having no idea what step I should take. It felt like hours had gone by in this position but it has only been a second.

I finally got a hold of my body, placing my hand on his chest and lifting. Our gazes sealed and a hot blush flushed across my cheeks and my heart thrashed. I just stayed still like a fool, unable to look away. Seeing I wasn’t saying anything or protesting, he kissed me again and I squeeze my eyes shut and my grip on his shirt clenched tightly, I felt my body run up in shivers and my inside bobbling, I was unable to control the fast gait of my beating heart and my nerves were all over the place.

His lips felt good on mine, they were smooth against mine and wet, making me chill further. I moaned when he deepened the kiss and slid his tongue into the corners of my mouth and I found it harder to breathe.

My grip tightened on his chest further and I mustered up all the strength and I pulled him away, I felt weak and my head was fuzzy.

He leaned for another but I pushed him off harder than I expected, I moved away from the bed and watched him with wide eyes.

"I-I-I’m s-s-sorry" my gaze to the ground.

"No" he began and I shifted my gaze to him, he didn’t look quite happy and it got my heart hammering further. "I’m sorry... I shouldn’t have done that"

I opened my mouth to speak but he beat me to it.

"You still got a thing for the beast"

I frowned at his choice of words, I knew very well he was an emotional mess after what happened with his mom but this hurt me.

"Stop calling him that" my attempts to sound strong were a joke, my voice was still murky, I was still trying to recover from that kiss.

"That’s what he is..." he said, locking his gaze back to me. "I have been trying to get you to see that but..." he huffed. "You’re like a magnet to danger"

"I will let this slide, you’re clearly overwhelmed after what happened"

"No Emma, I’m not," he said like he had come to some realization, he was up on his feet and coming towards him and I instinctively backed away but met with a drawer behind me that I was forced to clench.

"I’m perfectly in my right mind, yes, I’m swirling with all the emotions right now but I meant what I said"

I leveled my gaze.

"I wanna go home now"

"Emma"

"Please"

He sighed in defeat. "I’m sorry okay what I said but I’m not apologizing for kissing you"

I met his eyes and he was serious.

"I don’t regret it"

The drive back home was a very quiet and uncomfortable one, For some reason, I couldn’t wait to get home, the air here was tautened even as the cold breeze of the night slipped through the window but it was harder to breathe, my palms were also sweaty too and I kept rubbing it against my jeans. I didn’t look the way of Owen, I didn’t dare to. My mind was far off ahead, the happenings of today and the kiss. Fuck! I keep thinking about the kiss, I didn’t even know what to think of it, did I like it? Did I hate it? I didn’t have the answer in my head but a subtle feeling overwhelmed my insides, that it didn’t feel right... like I did something wrong.

Even though Dace wasn’t coming back to school which means we would never see each other again... we didn’t exactly break up and my doings right now felt like I was cheating on him, I mean what else was I supposed to think? With my first boyfriend, I’m doing this, I wanted the ground to devour me from all this, the guilt from my mind was butchering me!

"Emma!"

I snapped my eyes to Owen and when we locked gazes I found myself blushing.

"We’re here," he said with a small smile.

"W-What?" I faced the street, I could already see my house. "R-Right, thank you" I was about to open the door but his hand grasped my hand and I was forced to face him, at the warm contact my heart was thumping.

"Thank you, Emma, Because of you I..."

I knew what he wanted to say but I wasn’t so sure I could handle it, my heart felt like it would fall off soon from all the hard beating.

"It’s okay, I’m glad you got to see your mom again"

He smiled.

"See you" I quickly opened the door rushing out, my cheeks were super hot and my breathing was eager. But that sky jumped when I heard the door slam shut, please let it not be what I’m thinking.

"Emma!"

I halted, sighing jerky before gulping hard. I leisurely turned to him, he stood beside his car watching me and I felt my hands tingle, why was I feeling all this swap of emotions? I can’t handle it and my brain was super loud.

A smile found his lips. "I know your birthday is prom day"

My eyes widened.

"Vanessa told me"

Fuck Vanessa why did she do this, but wait, Vanessa never knew my birthday, Ugh! My mom must have told her! And trust Vanessa to spill the beans.

"Emma"

My gaze fell back to him.

"Do you wanna go to prom with me?"

"Huh?"

"I’m asking you to prom... trust me not for the dance, I mean it’s your birthday don’t you think you should, you know..."

"I don’t think-"

"I will pick you up by 7 okay?"

I shut my mouth.

"This is my way of being grateful for today"

How can I say no now?
