Attached Strings √

Chapter 24

I remembered that part clearly. It was the one barrier that was sure to keep Chloe and I apart. My lawyer had strongly recommended that we added that clause due to the complications that would come with romantic involvements and now I regretted it.

Chloe left the room saying that she was going to take a bath and I fought the urge to join her. I lazed on the couch and texted Luke, asking him to meet up tomorrow. I had to get out of the apartment. I had to get away from Chloe even it was just for a few hours because I couldn't be in the same room with her without thinking of all the things I wanted to say and do to her.

Thirty minutes later, I decided to take a shower, too. I opened the door to the bathroom and I hadn't expected what was revealed in front of my eyes. I found Chloe relaxed in the bath tub and she seemed to be deep in thought.

I was hoping that I could just walk out without her seeing me but all hope was thrown out the window when she saw me and started screaming.

"Paul, what the fuck are you doing?" she yelled.

"I thought you'd be done by now so I didn't bother to knock," I tried explaining.

"You didn't knock so you could watch me while I'm taking a bath? Paul, that's creepy!"

"Will you stop shouting! I came here to take a shower and I didn't realise that you were still here. I'm sorry, okay. Just, please, stop shouting at me."

"No, I will not," she attempted to get out of the bathtub but the realisation of the fact that she was completely naked dawned on her and she quickly returned to sitting down. She kept quiet for a short while, not knowing what to do or say.

Then she said, "Well?" she looked at me expectantly.

"Well, what?" I was confused.

"Don't you have to check on the stove or something?"

"Chloe, we've already had dinner."

"Well, don't you have anything else to do?" She was getting annoyed.

"No."

"That's it. I'm done trying to be nice. Paul, get out of here. I need privacy."

"Oh..." Realisation finally dawned on me and I understood that she was asking me to get out of the bathroom - indirectly of course.

Unwillingly, I left the bathroom and I went to the kitchen to get a drink. I sat on the counter and thought of the day's events. There was only one thought that rushed to mind and that was; I like Chloe.

Yes, I liked her but I couldn't tell her that. It would change everything between us. Chloe entered the kitchen. With only a towel wrapped tightly around her gorgeous body, I gave her a coquettish glance.

"Paul, stop looking at me like you want to eat me." Shit, she caught me.

"Oh but I do want to eat you," I told her as I got closer to her with a flirtatious smirk on my face.

"And why is that?" She asked as she took a few steps backwards.

I went up to her and trapped her between my body and the refrigerator. I bent my head and said:

"Because you're so sexy."

Slowly, I kissed her exposed shoulder.

"... so beautiful."

I bit her neck slightly and a moan escaped her mouth.

"And so, so tasty."

Before she could say anything to stop me, I crashed my lips onto hers. The kiss deepened in an instant. It was so rough and desperate. We were both hungry for each other. We kissed like it was our last.

"Paul... stop," she said but her actions stated otherwise.

She was pulling me tightly towards her and kissing me like the world was coming to an end. Due to her actions, I decided to pay no mind to what she had just said and I just carried on with what I was doing. I felt her hands tugging lightly at my hair. My hands both landed on her waist as I aligned our private parts with each other and I started grinding on her. Using my hands, I synced her waist movements with mine and she wasted no time in following my lead. Together, we were grinding each other so hard, moving both of our waists in circular motions.

I was getting harder.

I took my T-shirt off and I was about to remove her towel when I heard the sound of a ringing cellphone. She tried to pull herself away from me but I quickly caught her. "Ignore it," I told her. "No, maybe it's important." Hesitantly, I let her go and from the moment I heard that she was speaking to Tina, I walked out of the room and went to take a shower.

Yes, a cold shower. Thanks to Chloe.

I was still pissed off. To tell you the truth, I had absolutely nothing against Tina. She was an amazing girl and a really good friend to Chloe but I didn't appreciate being disturbed by her. She should find better times to call Chloe. That was not the only thing pissing me off, what if they were discussing Chloe's potential boyfriend?

I'd hate for that to happen.

I made a mental note to tell Chloe that we should let everyone know about our relationship - and I meant everyone. I didn't want some boys to think that they actually stood a chance with her. I wanted them to know that she was taken, by me.

But is she really taken?

Well, technically, she wasn't but they didn't need to know that. When I got out of the shower to discuss the matter with Chloe, I found her sleeping peacefully on her bed. I stroked her hair lightly and looked at her beautiful face as I whispered:

"Oh Chloe, what are you doing to me?"
