Last First Kiss #Wattys2014

Chapter 15

Mike laughs, "That's exactly why we're here in Bree's house, having a graduation party!" he tells her, shaking his head. She hits his chest softly making her laugh too.

I laugh, "What are your plans?" I ask them since they haven't told me yet.

Rebecca smiles, "I'm probably going back to Greece to help my mom out with her bakery there." she replies. Rebecca was half Greek, half British. Both of her parents live in Greece and she's an only child - one of the things we have in common.

"I'll probably do art work in Manchester or something." Mike says, shrugging. He was always the one person who never planned things ahead. "How about you?" he asks.

"I'm opening an art gallery here next month." I tell them, sounding really excited. "I'd really love it if you two could pay a visit and look around."

They both smile, "I'd love to!" Rebecca chirps.

"Yeah, me too." Mike agrees with her.

"Do you want any drinks?" Mike asks Rebecca and I as he stands by the bar, ready to order.

"I'll have a beer." Rebecca tells him, clapping her hands. Mike looks over to me, waiting for my answer.

"I'll just have a coke, thanks." I reply.

"Boo!" Rebeccas immediately says. "Come on, Lexi. We finally graduated! Have a little bit of fun, would you?" she turns to face Mike, "Make it two beers. One for me, one for her."

I shake my head, chuckling, "Fine. But only because we graduated." I tell her.

Mike laughs, handing us our beers. "Besides, your man won't be here to see you barf it all out. You have nothing to worry about." he says, patting my back.

We all laugh. I raise my beer, "To making it through the art program alive and in one piece!" I shout. Rebecca and Mike raise their beers, hitting mine. We chug it together, all at once. I was a lightweight, so even if I only drank one can of beer, I am bound to become drunk, but I'm pretty sure I could still walk in a straight line if asked to.

"Come on!" Rebecca shouts, grabbing Mike's hands and mine as well. "Let's dance!" she yells while pulling us over to the dance floor. We three dance along to the beat of the music, laughing like crazy people and doing ridiculous dance moves.

Minutes later, I bump into someone while dancing. "Oops, I'm sorry." I say, spinning around to see who it was that I bumped into. I groaned.

"Hey, Lexi." Richard smiles, dancing too. "How have you been? Missed me?" he asks.

"Why are you here?" I ask, crossing my arms as I stop dancing.

He also stops dancing and smiles, "Bree invited me. We're dating." he says.

"Then why aren't you dancing with her?" I snap, glaring at him.

He chuckles, "Because I still love you, Lexi." he says, brushing my cheek.

I immediately slap his hand away, "You disgust me." I say in the rudest way possible. "Leave me alone." I turn away to leave but he grabs my hand, spinning me back to face him. Before I could do anything, he leans in and kisses me - hard. It was not the way Liam would kiss me. Liam's kiss was full of love and passion, unlike Richard's. I stand there, with his lips on mine. My senses rush back to me and I realize what's happening. But no matter how much I tried to deny it, for a second there, I let him kiss me. And it killed me.

I hit his "family jewels" as hard as I could and gave him double slaps. "Don't you ever do that to me again." I warn him, walking away as I furiously wipe my lips. I head out of the house and walk over to my car. I wasn't that drunk so I guess it would be fine if I still drove.

As I start driving, I decide to go over to the boys' flat. I needed one thing, and that was to see Liam's face. Tears started pouring down my face. What would I tell him? How would I tell him? I can't tell him that I let Richard kiss me. Although I did make him pay for it. Liam would be heartbroken and feel betrayed. How on earth will I explain this to him?

Minutes later I arrive at the boys' flat. I immediately run out of the car and knock on the door. Niall opened it, smiling. "Hey, Lexi." he greets happily. "What's wrong?" his smile fades as he looks at my face. I step inside and hug him. "Are you drunk?"

"Only a bit." I reply, looking guilty. "Where's Liam?" I ask, looking around.

"Who's there, Niall?" I hear Liam's voice as he comes down the stairs. He sees me and Niall by the doorway. "Is there anything wrong, babe?" he asks, looking concerned as he walked towards me. I cry harder and run to hug him. He rubs my back, trying to soothe me as I bury my head in the crook of his neck. I tighten my grip around him as I cried it all out. "Let's get some sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow." he says, knowing that I was in no condition to speak. I nod and he sweeps me off my feet, carrying me bridal style as we went up to his room.

I wake up in the morning with my head pounding. The sun was hurting my eyes so much there was a possibility that I was going to go mad. I sit up, squeezing my head with both hands. "Ah!" I shout because of the pain.

"Headache?" Louis asks, surprising me. He was sitting at the end of the bed, holding a tray. "Here, I knew you would need these." he says, handing me the tray.

There are painkillers and a bottle of water. I smile, "Thanks, Louis." I take one pill and drink the water. "Where's Liam?" I ask.

He sighs, not smiling at all, "He's downstairs. Thinking." he replies, taking the tray from me.

I get off the bed and leave Louis in Liam's room to go downstairs. I spot Liam outside, sitting by the side of the pool. He looks like he was in deep thought. I took a deep breath as I walked to him. This is it. I have to tell him. It's now or never.

"Hi." I say weakly, sitting down next to him.

He looks at me and forces a smile, "Hi." he replies.

My heart is beating so fast in my chest. It's driving me nuts. Here I go. "Liam, about last night - " but he cut me off.

"Do you want to talk about it now?" he asks, looking into the pool.

I nod. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have drank any alcohol." I apologize. "I'm a lightweight and I should have known better than that."

He shakes his head, "I'm not talking about you being drunk last night. I meant this." he says, anger evident in his voice as he hands me his phone. On it was a picture of Richard kissing me.

"Let me explain." I say, trying my best not to let the tears escape from my eyes.
