A scream erupted, waking me up immediately in alarm. I had gotten up while instantaneously putting on a shirt and running down the hallway to Nonna's room. Then I realized she had an interview that day.
The screaming stopped and a very frightened and frantic looking Willow showed up on the other side of my door in the hallway.
Gazing around, her eyes took their precious time glancing at my broad chest in a thin t-shirt. I had to hold back a smirk, street fighting did pay off. Her hair looked wild and her mouth slightly open. Cheeks a very rosy red and tears forming in her large brown eyes. The bruises looked even worse it seemed like, but my irritation subsided. Either way I still admired her beauty amongst other things.
Although, my mind went over the events of last night and I was puzzled as to why she was crying. Had she not have been saved from the sickest scum of Virginia, she would've still been on the floor of her apartment.
"Please tell me you didn't do what I think you did," tears sprung from her eyes and hand covering her mouth.
My anger spiked, I aproached her very quickly. She backed into the wall with fear in her eyes once more. I made sure my reasoning reached her ears.
"Do you think if I had layed a hand on you, you'd still be in those clothes on my bed while I slept on the couch?" My tone was firm and expression grim. Every word was seethed slowly; disgusted.
Not once did I think to forcibly put my hands on a woman to take advantage of her, and I never was going to start.
She whimpered, "No....now can you please-
I cut her off backing away, "My pleasure."
Walking away to the living room, she followed close behind me. "What am I doing here, last thing I remember was you leaving and....." She trailed off looking down ashamed. My heart lurched, but I remembered my vow and retained any emotion.
"Who was that woman Willow?" The question was random but had been burning me ever since last night.
Looking up, her eyes traveled to the door. Before she even thought about leaving I ran to it and locked it before her hand found the knob. Once again I looked her dead in the eyes waiting for a response.
Turning away, "That's none of your concern, now let me leave please."
Leaning against the door and folding my arms, I had said something while regretting it as soon as it left my mouth. "Oh really? I believe it would've been law enforcement's concern had she not have let go of your neck last night." Her chest moved up in down breathing heavy. I cursed realizing what I had just done.
"How did you.....How did you know that?" She looked up infuriated, humiliated and in shock.
"What were you doing at my house, and what did you see? As a matter of fact what am I even doing here?!"
Each word came out angry as she pulled out her phone to dial a number. I snatched it away quickly and said, "Look you could do one or two things here, call the authorities and I spill everything or option two."
She gave me a bewildered look, "What is option two?"
"I'm still trying to figure that part out."
A sigh escaped her lips, "What do you want from me?"
Willow goes to the couch but not with out patting the back of her sweat pants and sitting down with perfect posture. It was a strange action, seeming as though she did it everytime she sat down.
I too walked to the couch without breaking eye contact going to the opposite side. "Just answers, that's all." Studying her features, it pained me even more with the bruises and cuts showing up clearly on her beauteous face. But I had to reign in my empathy, just wanting answers.
"Why is it that you care? What goes on in my life is none of your business."
Despie her voice being strained, it was all the more understood.
"Whether you'd like to deny it or not Willow, that woman hurt you verbally and physically. Let me be the first to tell you this, I'm not usually the one to go to my neighbor's house and sneak around. But watching her get the hell slapped out of her is not something I'd like to ignore."
She broke down at that point, sobbing in the most painfully sounding way possible. Only turning away making sure I didn't see.
I couldn't help but go over to her, rubbing small circles into her back to comfor her. Not wanting to show more affection than what she needed. I did not want to break my vow.
It worked some, the sobbing silenced and my hand dropped.
"Listen, I don't know you very well. All I wanted was to greet my neighbors—not cry here while one of them sees me fall apart." Her eyes were closed the whole time she said this not wanting to look at me.
Standing up, I paced around running my hands through my messy black hair. "Believe me I wasn't trying to get too personal either. I just....." looking back seeing her now standing, everything around me slowed. Seeing her glossy eyes and red cheeks, my heart thundered wildly.
Could she possibly be another girl to haunt my dreams?
She approached me and softly spoke, "If you pretend what you saw last night never happened, I promise to never disrupt your life ever again."
Her words were echoing in my head, as my eyes lowered to her full lips. I had no idea what possessed me that very moment. Both of my hands quickly found her soft cheeks while joining our lips together.
So tender as I caressed her with my tongue, mouth tasting of sweet cinnamon making all of my worries and her words become faint. An exquisite feeling ran through my whole body. Clearly unexperienced she was, but it didn't matter to me nor to the girl that was engulfed in my arms.
I'm in trouble.
The feeling of ecstacy consumed me. All of it felt unreal, like I hadn't experienced something so breath-taking like this with anyone else. Groping her plump behind feeling her soft curves she responded hesitantly after freezing up, humming in delight and pleasure arousing me more. Kissing her even more roughly, dominating it with all my might.
Her gentle hands shyly reached up to my shoulders sliding them down towards my chest, I flinched, knowing exactly who did the same thing bringing it all back to me.
And that was when my heart stopped and so did our very heated make out session.
Willow was the first to back away, flustered and bewilderment in her eyes. I knew mine reflected the same thing, only with lust.
We both tried catching our breath, conflicted on what just happened. Neither of us spoke for a minute until I did, voice suddenly hoarse and raspy. "That was.....unexpected."
Clearing her throat, "I can't believe I exchanged my first kiss with a total stranger," whispering it thinking I hadn't heard.
"Why on earth did you do that?!" She yelled angrily looking distraught as ever, probably not believing what she had done.
I was at a loss of words for one. What possesed me to do such an involuntary act? My mind was shuffling for answers until I heard a door slam.
Opening it again Willow was nowhere to be seen. I called out for her, to only get no reply back. Looking both ways it didn't hit me until I felt it vibrating.
She had left her phone. Closing the door, I threw the damned thing at the couch frustrated.
Why didn't I just let her leave without me ruining everything?
But I couldn't help myself. Finally being in control for the first time gave me a rush of excitement and I couldn't help but relish in it.
Seeing her pouty pink lips made it hard not to take that step. Sadly everything comes at a cost, I knew there was no way of getting out of it.
Those memories came back to me, it weakened me and I couldn't continue on with them stuck in my head.
When will I ever be free of my mind and my past? I thought.
Going to my room in the closet I dug up what I needed most at that time. A bottle with the word in red 'Smirnoff' was half empty.
Tilting my head back, letting the vodka burn the back of my throat as I sat on the edge of my bed. It had to have been about nine in the morning but I didn't care. It eased the stress immensely.
Thinking out loud, "This bottle seems to never leave my hand."
I kept thinking to myself, you have to stay away from her.
Only it had been so hard not to close my eyes imagining the way her hands felt, burning a pathway of want into my chest. I had missed her lips on mine already.
She had been so gentle, giving so much more of me to take lead of and caress roughly her thighs and everwhere else.
How it would've been so pleasurable to take it further and hear her moan my na-
"Well time to take one cold ass shower."

Hey Peeps,
Late ass update but, since I've been finishing up chapters I decided it wouldn't hurt. Be sure to expect more heated stuff later on. The description for this book said MATURE CONTENT so I'm not going to warn anyone beforehand and spoil what happens. It takes away from the regular content when all you can think about is 'oooooh there's sex in this chapter' *takes out holy hater*
