AMELIA.
“Don’t hold back, Amelia. I know you want this,” he breathed coolly against the wet spot of my neck like a devil trying to pull me into his abyss of temptation.
“No-no, Dylan. This.. this is wrong. We shouldn’t be doing this. Our parents-” He pressed his finger against my trembling lips.
His eyes stared intensely into mine as he asks quietly. “How does resisting me makes you feel when you know deep down that you want it as much as I do? You want me, Amelia. You want me so don’t deny the pull we have for each other,” he said and I swallowed the lump in my throat, my heart thumping really fast in my ribcage as I stared back into his eyes.
There was this undeniable swirl of emotions in his eyes as he stared down at me. It felt and looked like a desire, a lustful yet loving look in his eyes that drew me closer to him as we locked gaze
I wanted it too. Yes, I wanted Dylan. I needed him to be mine. I wanted him to take me. I craved for something thats more than a lick on my neck and earlobe.
I craved a passionate intimacy with Dylan. I wanted him to claim me as his. I want to be his girl. I want to be his ride or die. Someone who he would proudly call and announce as his girlfriend in front of his fellow guys.
I want us to go for midnight rides as we sing our hearts out like the young hopeless romantic that we were. I want a sweet kiss from him when I least expect it.
I craved to be grabbed by the waist and lifted effortlessly on the counter as our tongues intertwine in a deep kiss. To feel his hand on every part of my body that ached for him.
I just want to loose myself in his arms.
That has always been what I’ve wanted and wished for but now that I have it, my mind wasn’t ready for that close intimacy.
“Dude, what’re you doing? You’re catching fun with your chick while everyone is waiting for you outside? C’mon out soon, man, or else I will call on the others to come pull you anyway.” I heard a male voice threaten and that jolted me out of my reverie as I blinked, staring into Dylan’s eyes that carried this thick fog of desires burning them.
I slowly averted my gaze and saw that the voice belonged to one of the jocks in the party and he was already leaving us alone but my face was turned and I saw Dylan staring at me with concern.
“You’re okay?” Dylan asked softly. I could tell he was holding his self back from doing to me all the things he had in mind because those desires I had seen in his eyes a second ago was far gone.
“You seem … lost and a bit troubled,” he said, totally ignoring the jock that just barged in on us a moment ago.
I shooky head. “No, I am fine. I promise,” I said but the words didn’t come out as solid as I planned to as my voice gave me out because I was indeed troubled. I want to be close to Dylan but my mind wasn’t ready for it.
He straightened up, his tall figure towering me. He raked his fingers through his dark hair that damped on his forehead due to the heat of the party.
He breathed out gruffly, palming his face hard in frustration then turned his back on me. “I am so sorry, Ami. I shouldn’t have done all that.” He said and I frowned, confused.
“I was being so inconsiderate. I should have thought about you first. I should have asked if you wanted it too. But no. I thought about myself alone and wanted to do to you more than what I had done. I wanted all my imaginations about you to become a reality but I was a fool, Ami, and I hope you’d forgive me. I shouldn’t have tried to force myself on you…”
I shook my head immediately. I wanted to tell him no. That he’s wrong. I also want to do all the things I had in mind to do to him. I desires him too. I craved his touch but God damnit!
Why!??? Why can’t I just do it??
Dang!
****
The rest of the night went well, at least. It was going well right now. After the intense conversation that Dylan and I had, the jocks came to pull him away from my side and I missed his presence immediately.
I didn’t let it show though as I smiled when he left, remembering the little intimacy we had.
Ava was back at my side, we were both sitting down on the high stools at the bar and she has been getting me to spill since she got back, but I didn’t know what exactly to tell her. A lot of feelings were going through me all at once and it was overwhelming.
“Girl, you guys have a mad chemistry. I could feel it from the other side of the room and I’m sure everybody else could feel it too.” Ava said and I rolled my eyes.
“There was nothing there for real.” I said and gulped down the sex on the beach that was placed in front of me, ordered by Ava. That girl had every intention of getting me drink tonight.
“For real? There was nothing there? And Dylan was looking at you like he could eat you right in the middle of the djave floor. Girl stop pretending, your eyes are literally dilated.” She said and I groaned.
Ava is a straightforward bitch and I like her for that, but I was not sure I had anything to say to this accusations of hers.
“Oh lord, what do you mean?” I asked closing my eyes.
“It has been like that since Dylan came to you.” Ava explained and I shook my head, deciding not to agree with her.
“That’s a lie, I’m tipsy, remember?” I knew I wasn’t feeling the alcohol yet, but anything to get out of Ava’s clutches.
“Whatever you say, but I know the truth. So does every other person in this room.” She said and my heart started racing so fast.
What did she mean every other person in this room? Was someone paying attention to me? To Dylan and I?
I didn’t want an unnecessary attention if right now so I wasn’t exactly comfortable when I heard that the attention of everyone in the room was on us.
“And let’s talk about you. You’re very good at evading a conversation you know.” I told her and she frowned.
“What do you mean?” She asked looking genuinely confused.
“I mean, why’s your lipgloss gone? I noticed it the moment you came back.” I told her and I saw the hues of pink blush on her cheeks immediately but she tried to conceal it immediately.
“I mean, I’ve been drinking since we came in here, I just forgot to go touch up in the lady’s room.” She said, feigning ignorance and adjusting her hair.
“Girl, I’ve been drinking too. But here are my lips, all wet and shiny.” I said pointing my lips for reference.
“Okay okay.” She said raising her hands up like she had something to say and I was all ears for real, since we are not talking about me for once.
“I’m listening.” I said with a big smile on my face.
“It’s Sebastian.” She said in a small voice and my eyes widened.
“What? What the actual fuck? Sebastian? The most renowned fuck boy in this school?” I asked, almost screaming but thankfully the music from the background covers it up.
“Yes, that one. And yes I know.” She said in a strained voice and covered her face.
“Oh my darling. I guess we don’t have control over people we like.” I said, understanding where she’s coming from.
“Honestly, it was not expected at all. You know how cocky he is, for some reason he’s always looking at me somehow and he managed to get that I was thick and all that under my big clothes. So he’s always crossing me, touching me and ignoring sparks on my body. I couldn’t help it. It just happened.” She said.
“You guys had sex?” I asked her and she scrunched her face up.
“What? No, but he has been doing a lot of other things to me. Things that I can’t stop, he saw me on my way to the restroom earlier and he almost tore my dress off me. The intensity and the way he turns me on, I don’t know. I might be starting to like him.” Ava said in a small tone and I touched her hand.
“Oh love, I know it’s not possible to choose who you want to love, but try as much as possible to control it okay? You’ve been here for a few weeks but you know Sebastian already. He has a reputation. I’d be hurt if he broke your heart, I don’t want to believe that he will like just one girl, he’s not known for that.” I told her and she nodded, agreeing with what I said.
“I can’t help myself.” She said and I squeezed her hand in reassurance.
“I know I know. I’m here for you regardless, I would have said you should throw caution through the wind but I know how heartbreak feels like first hand, so I won’t want you hurt.”
“Thank you Amelia. You’re a good friend.” She said and I smiled at her.
“Now, let’s drink to that.” I said raising up my glass and she grinned.
“You see, I’m already rubbing off on you.” She said and we both laughed as we raised our glasses and cheered, with a big laugh. Okay, I love where I was right now.
Apart from the witch part of course, I’m glad I came out today. If it wasn’t for Ava of course, I would have been cooped up in my bed thinking of possible solutions to actually solve the witch problems.
But here I was right now, though it was at the back of my mind, but it was not consuming my thought and making me depressed.
“Look who we have here.” I heard that bitchy voice behind me and I sighed and gave Ava a “here we go again” look.
We both turned to her with a smile on our faces.
“Hey Valerie.” Ava greeted cheerfully while I just stared at her.
