Let Me Kiss You

Chapter Ten

The last few days had been a blur. Exams after exams. I have been spending most of my time alone, avoiding Jess and her crazy party ideas. Good thing she's a bright student that she can party all she wants but still pass exams.

Not me. I find it difficult to concentrate in school if I have a hangover. But Jess...she is something...

Luke has been calling me a couple of times, as I haven't said yes to his idea of us dating, since I have someone in my heart. And at this point of my life. Boys are just a distraction..finals are more important.

I haven't talked to Harry after that emotional day we had. I miss him. But every time I do, I push the thought away I don't want to be in too deep. Good thing Jess never found out about that accidental sleepover that I woke up with Harry beside me. If she did, she won't be speaking to me again even though nothing really happened.

Aunt Emilia is planning to visit with her adopted son, Miko. He is one year younger than me. Her husband is busy with the family business that's why they plan to visit for a good three months. That is good news for me! I have never met Miko. I am quite excited to be spending time with my step cousin.

My phone has been ringing tremendously and Luke doesn't know how to give up. I should answer this..see what he wants although I think I will fall into his bait.

"Hey Luke, how did you get my number?" I heard a car honking and I peeked at the window. It's Harry. What a timing.

"Obviously, I have my ways...I don't give up just like that...so are you in for tonight? Say around seven?" Harry is about to ring the door bell. I am panicking.

"So?... I will keep on calling until you say yes." Is he threatening me?

"Why don't I just block your number?" I retorted. "Whoah! Feisty aren't you? I like it!" He annoyingly replied.

"Okay. Okay!" I didn't even know why I said yes. Harry rang the doorbell twice already and it made me jump.

"Yes!!!" Luke yelled at the other line. "I'll be there at seven!" I was just about to ask how will he get here but then, he just told me he has his ways of getting my number.

I opened the door and I melted right there. My legs felt gooey. Why does he have such effect on me. He stared at me from head to toe and his eyes says it all. I looked back at myself. Oh God! I just answered the door wearing a loose shirt...just that!

Harry whistled. I was about to close the door and he was fast on grabbing the edge as he made his way inside. "No need to be shy now luv...don't bother changing I fucking like it!" He made me blush even more.

I quickly turned and was about to head upstairs when he grabbed a hold of my ankle and I almost tripped but he was fast to catch me making me fall on top of him.

"Is this your idea of closeness?" I blurted. He laughed. Hard. It seems like I delivered the best joke of all.

"More like seeing you avoiding me makes me want to pull you even closer to me." My eyes widen at his response. His lips are almost brushing my lips. Is he going to kiss me? No! I need to stop this! I tried to move away but I am stucked. His grip on my thigh is tight and his other hand landed on the other cheek of my butt which seems gratifyingly enjoying his comfort zone.

His lips crushed onto me, making me moan. He cupped my chin and kissed me roughly, his tongue parting my lower lip, asking for entrance. I opened slowly as he pulled me tighter on his body. I need to stop. Before everything gets out of hand.

"Harry...hmmmm. Stop." "Please... Stop." I pleaded.

"No..you want this too." He replied and he continued to kiss me. I was gathering all my strength to push myself away from him but it seems pointless. My whole body is yearning for this, for his touch..and it dawned to me that I need him..

We stopped ourselves before we even remove our clothes. Catching our breaths we stared at each other. Neither doesn't know when to start conversing.

Instead, he stood up and pulled me up on my feet. As soon as I stood he hugged me, like he never hugged anybody before.

"I don't want to lose you." He whispered on my ear. Surprisingly, I felt the same way.

"What are you doing here?" I randomly asked as I licked my lower lip. His eyes glistened. "Do you want to do it again?" He teased me.

"No. We shouldn't have-" He pressed his finger on my lip stopping me. He knows I feel the same way. He knows I am trying my best to fight it, but he won't give it any chance.

"I want to take you out tonight." He began and my heart skipped a beat. Remembering Luke will pick me up by seven tonight and it's exactly 3 pm now.

"I..I can't." I stammered.

"Don't worry about Jess." I shook my head. His look holding me, studying me, telling me he won't take no for an answer.

"I..I have a date tonight, actually." I gathered all my strength to explain the truth.

"I see you have made your decision." He stood up about to head for the door. My heart is breaking but at the same time telling me it's for the best.

"Harry, wait." He looked back...his lips on a thin line.

"Don't say anything you will regret, because honestly I love you.." He leaned closer and gave me a peck on the cheek.

"Have fun tonight. Call me if you need me." I nodded. As soon as he's gone, I sat on the couch crying my eyes out. He was still being sweet despite the fact that I turned him down a couple of times. It is exactly the main reason why I cannot go out and party with Jess. I hated her, for making me feel this way. She has no idea how I am sacrificing for the sake of our friendship when she doesn't even have a claim on him.

Despite everything, Harry has been understanding. For how long it's gonna be this way, I have no idea...
