Sophie Esinberg’s POV
I protested once again but my body was too weak in comparison to this large built up guy standing in front of me.
His face nuzzled in the crook of my neck. Suddenly a familiar cologne engulfed me, my body started to respond to the cologne on it’s own. It relaxed under his touch. From the corner of my eye I saw a familiar pair of blue orbs. I sighed, relieved.
These were the pair of eyes which calmed my senses, most beautiful and expressive eyes I’ve ever seen.
But what is he doing here?
He started placing sloppy kisses on my neck making his way up to my jaw line and finally kissing my cheeks and then his face just rested centimeters away from mine. We started at each other for few seconds. My breathing was short and deep. It looked like as if I am out of breath.
Everything was silent, the only noise that came was of my shallow breathing.
Then Raymond said “Happy Birthday, Sweetcheeks” and with that he smashed his lips on mine.
In no time my body started responding to his actions. On it’s own. It’s like we were doing this for ages.
The door of my room burst open and I pushed Raymond aside, at least I tries but of course his built was strong he didn’t budge from his spot. On the door of my room, stood all my friends. They all shouted HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOAF in unison while Raymond and I stood there silent.
Claire and Lavy are standing in front while chase is standing behind Claire and Dany is standing behind Lavy. Lavy is standing with a cake in her hand. But when they all see the position in which me and Raymond were standing all their actions came to a halt, with hardly any distance between us while Raymond’s hands on my neck and another around my waist and mine were wrapped around his neck now loosely.
They all stared at us as is seen some ghost.
And then Raymond’s last words register in my mind.
Happy Birthday Sweetcheeks
Goddammit.
It’s my birthday and I didn’t even remember.
Ughh… I seriously have to stop overloading myself with studies.
But I have to win the Award, I have to surprise him.
Lavy soon started coughing loud enough to snap me out of my thoughts.
Next to speak was Claire.
“Raymond we sent you through the window to distract her, not to start making babies.” As soon as these words left her mouth she clasped her mouth with both of her hands while I stared at her. Glaring. Or more preferably I started throwing daggers at her. While Lavy and Chase burst into fits of laughter, Dany had a small frown on his face. One wouldn’t be able to see his frown if they would see him from where I stand. But I can see that the corner of his lips were tugged down little bit.
“Well, that’s the only thing I’m good at.” Replied Raymond with a mischievous grin on his lips, eyes amused.
This whole time I could feel Raymond’s gaze piercing through my temples but I knew that I was blushing hard, I decided not to look at him. But we were still in the same position and that was embarrassing, especially in front of my sister.
“Now you two can have some distance atleast or I’m gonna puke.” This time it was Dany.
Raymond took a back finally allowing some space between us.
Everyone started making their way inside my bedroom which was still full of crumbled and scratched papers, I quickly started collecting all the papers and throw them in the dustbin.
While Chase and Claire made comments like ‘ you study too much’ and ‘next freaking Einstien’. But I shrugged them and rolled my eyes. Lavy came and stood next to me with an unknown expression and then she whispered to me.
“You know mom is right downstairs, Right?”
I blushed hard at this. Again.
“If it makes you feel any worse, you have a hickey.”
WHAT THE FUCK
SHIT
No freaking ways.
I started glaring at Raymond who stood beside me chuckling at what Lavy said.
Yeah he was eavesdropping.
