Side Effects- Chapter 4

Start from the beginning
                                        

"Let me know when you get an appointment; I'll drive you. If you feel comfortable having me with you, I'll drop everything to come and hold your hand." I took up Alice's hand and placed my lips tenderly against the smooth skin on the back of her hand.

Alice was compassionate, and it was as if I could hear the words escape her lips before she spoke aloud. "You don't have to do that; I have a functioning car." She urged.

I rolled my eyes at her; yes, Alice had passed her test. But her affinity with driving wasn't the most favourable. She crashed it twice in her first year. The Hyundai in our communal car park served as an ornament in her mind. Her train pass got much more use. I could open my mouth to argue, but there would have been no point; it would be tomorrow's battle. Right now. I wanted her by my side.

"Okay, you're calling in sick today and coming with me to the shoot. Hobi refused to let me come back without you, so there's no arguments." I smiled playfully, despite the firm instructions. Alice's eyes rolled sarcastically at my words, but she dragged herself out of bed.

The short lilac pyjamas and white crop jumper she wore screamed cosy to most, but in my eyes, this lazed-relaxed look had my brain short-circuiting. I had never been some deranged sex-crazed fool, but Alice made me lose my cool. My Virgin ass trembled at the obscene amount of flesh on show.

I would revel in tasting her lips, softly brushing my hands at the nape of her neck to ensure her lips wouldn't travel too far from mine. The sweet nectar that would form in tiny beads of sweat on the nape of her neck after the heat of our thick duvet would lightly highlight her collarbones that would similarly receive light flickers from my lips as they curved along the bone. Devouring every inch as if I was a starved man learning the true meaning to satisfy one's hunger.

But no, I had my emotions under control, despite the room being set alight with my impure thoughts. As I reached a slow realisation that Alice had been watching me admire her. A sense of guilt rose as I attempted to half-smile cutely to avoid what I knew would come next.

A pillow at the face and being shoved from our shared bedroom. "Pervert. Can't a woman wear pyjamas without being eye-fucked." She yelled through the newly slammed door. My sentence served the other side, left with only my imagination.

"Yes, women can, but you, my beautiful Angel, would turn saints into sinners," I replied.

The bedroom door suddenly opened, and she leaned around the door, poking her cute frustrated face to stick her tongue out at me. "Good job. I didn't buy cheese this week; it's standing right here." She taunted before closing the door again and getting ready.

The ecstatic screams erupted like the grand jackpot being won at the casino as Taehyung led me by hand into the studio.

"There's my favourite girl!" Hoseok shrieked as he quickly pulled me from Taehyung's grip and swung his arms around me. Hoseok was lean in stature, but each muscle was perfectly toned as I felt them tightly flex around me like a cobra coiling around its prey. Hoseok carried this sense of naturally beautiful, and his jawline wasn't something to turn your nose up at. In fact, Hoseok could gladly turn up his nose at me so I could admire the jawline a little longer.

However, like all handsome men, Hoseok came shrouded in mystery; neither Taehyung nor I could get him to spill any juicy details about his soulmate. It was clear he had a fully completed bond as I'd often seen him complain that specific colours didn't match or that his latest assistant hadn't selected the exact shade of green he'd requested. Some may have called him a diva, but I preferred a perfectionist.

My body leaned into Hoseok's. "It's good to see you. How have you been?" I asked, pleading with Taehyung to rescue me as I could feel my soul slowly being squeezed from me. Taehyung patted his shoulder, which quickly left him as Hoseok's next victim of a spine-breaking hug. "I've missed you both," Hoseok replied.
