My Wattpad Love

Chapter 24

I was lost in Evan’s addicting lips. If I’d know kissing him would be this good, I would’ve have done it before. Our breaths were heavy as if we’d just run a marathon. I got on my tiptoes to wrap my long arms around his neck, and I could feel the rapid fall and rise of his chest against mine. Cold rain was dousing us from head to toe but I actually felt warm in his arms. I wanted to stay like this forever. I didn’t want anything to ruin this perfect moment. Unfortunately for me, we were humans and we needed to breathe.

 I was feeling light-headed already.

Reluctantly, I pulled away from him to take a deep breath in. I didn’t open my eyes, but pressed my forehead against his. My heart was pumping blood fast through my veins, making me feel invigorated. My entire body was throbbing, not to mention the rebel dragons fluttering in my stomach. Evan’s ragged breath was fanning my lips.

“I can’t,” he murmured, so low that I’d barely heard him through the heavy rain.

“What?” I opened my eyes slowly.

 His expression was blank, and there was no trace of the regret and need I’d seen on his face before the kiss. He grabbed my wrists to remove my hands from his neck and took a step backwards, breaking all contact between us. Instantly, my body felt cold without his touch. I stared at him confused.

He ran his fingers through his wet hair and rolled his lower lip into his mouth before speaking, “I’m sorry.” Pure regret flooded from his mouth.

“W-What?” I spluttered, confused. I tried to reach him but he stepped backwards. My chest tightened. “Evan?” It was then I noticed his tensed shoulders and defensive pose. There was something wrong here.

“Ah, shit!” he exclaimed, turning around holding his head.

“Evan, what’s wrong?” I asked bewildered. I thought everything was more than fine, I thought that kiss was a good sign – that he would finally open up to me. Apparently, I thought wrong. Evan turned to me once again, determination plastered on his face.

“I can’t do this,” he said coldly. “And I won’t.”

 I felt pain at the tip of my stomach.

“What are you talking about?” I was afraid of the answer to that question.

Evan averted his gaze. “I don’t want to see you again,” he said harshly. Was I hearing him right? Tears formed in my eyes, blurring my sight.

“What? How can you say that after kissing me like that?” I was beyond hurt. “Is this some sort of game for you?” My voice broke and I faltered near the end.

 Evan’s lips pressed together in a tight line. “I told you I could only offer you my friendship,” he retorted.

“Friendship?” I mimicked, dazed and shocked. I hoped Evan couldn’t see my tears in the rain. Not someone like him. “You kissed me just a few minutes ago. We both know this is… more than a friendship, Evan. Friends don’t kiss each other like that.”

He didn’t say anything.

Sadness washed over me – strong sadness, like a tsunami. This was what it felt like to get your heart broken. It was painful to have an amazing moment with him and then hear him say he didn’t want to see me anymore. It was like falling off a high cloud to crash into a cold hard surface.

“Why did you come here? Why did you kiss me?” I demanded, indignation swirling in the pit of my stomach.
