Chapter 14- *'I Just Slept with you!'*
''YOU ARE STRANGLING ME.''
''Oh. sorry.'' she said with an apologetic smile.
I smiled at her,’' You like it, right?'' I asked her, I was kind of apprehensive to get her here, since we had been going out for just two weeks. Even then I took my chance, and brought Lee to the 'special Place.' in Robert's words.
She hadn't seen the rest of the place, but from what I could gather from her hysterical reaction, she was going to like it, or so I hoped. One thing I knew about Emily was she was an unpredictable girl, you don't know what would impress her, or what makes her hate you.
And that's exactly what I loved the most about her, apart from her being so damn hot.Obviously.
''Yeah. I love it.'' She murmured, as her eyes held my gaze.
Her big, brown muddy eyes, shining with happiness.
The only thought that came to my mind was- I love her.
Oh fu*k.
I always thought it would be like a huge moment, it wasn’t ordinary though but then, nothing is ordinary with Emily. I couldn’t bring myself to look at her, afraid I would get exposed, her huge brown eyes always seem to comprehend things which were hidden. I finally looked down at her, grinning like a moron, she bit her lips awkwardly, and when she noticed me looking at her pink lips, she blushed. I couldn’t take it anymore, I ached for her.
So, I took her in my arms and hugged her tight, feeling the warmth of her skin against my, our hearts were beating together, and even though it sounds cheesy, I could have lived in that moment forever.
''Are we having a strangling competition?'' she asked me, her breath coming strong. It would be apt to say that I had hugged the life out of her just to feel her close to me.
I smiled at her. She took my hand and we went forward to sit on the wooden bench.
Who knew the player would fall so hard? The bad guy in every girl's story would fall in love? I never ever anticipated it but, it wasn't scaring me off even. When I came from Canada I had decided to leave my shady, troubled past behind, no matter how hard it was. I promised myself I will mend my ways, stay out of trouble, but I couldn’t change my personality and this shrewd, cocky attitude is part of it. Meeting Emily, somehow changed things and not exactly in the positive sense, I lost my interest in other girls apart from her and it was very weird in the beginning but, now it is growing on me.
''Oh my freaking god!'' She screamed.
I looked around to see why was she screaming and I had to admit the place was very beautiful.
She took my hand and quickly rushed to the wooden table, I chuckled because she didn't even care she had cramped her leg. She was ecstatic to see the place.
''Don't run Emily, Your leg will get worse.'' I said in a commanding tone. She pouted slightly at me, not in a sexy kind of way but rather like a kid, she looked even more adorable if that was even possible, ''But this place…'' She said with a dazed look.
The place was beautiful but, nothing in comparison to Emily, I wanted to shoot myself for being so lovestruck. Maybe it's true, when the bad guys fall they fall hard.
The place was nothing plush and hip. It was situated near a lake, with fireworks continuously going on. Near the lake there were a few wooden table and chairs kept, the place served Ice-creams and beverages. The sky was filled with star and yeah, I might add it looked absolutely perfect with Emily in my arm.
She smiled at me, looked right into my eyes and I felt utterly exposed. I was scared that she would get to know my feelings for her and leave me,'' Thank you so much.'' She said and gave me genuine smile. Thank god! I am not busted.
''You are welcome.'' I whispered back.
''How did you find this place? I mean I haven't seen it even after staying in Los Angeles all my life!'' Emily asked me her voice burning with curiosity.
I smirked, ''I know places for pretty girls.'' I said with a wink. She blushed. The real reason I knew about this place was because Robert, a guy I had grown close to from soccer team had told me about. I owed him one.
‘'Then I think it’s the first time you are coming here?'' She asked me smirking, wow! this girl can be cocky.
''Oh you bet.'' I smirked at her, ''What would you like to have?'' I asked her.
‘'I would like a chocolate chip cone.''
''Okay, I will be right back.''
I needed some time to comprehend my feelings, it wasn't weird it was new. I was liking it but it was making me nervous too. I took a few breaths, feeling like a complete fool. One girl did this to me? One girl?!
After calming a bit, I went towards the counter to order our Ice-creams, a butterscotch for me and a chocolate chip for her.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
''Thanks for the ride and for everything.'' Emily said with a hint of smile on her face.
I kissed her on the cheek, resisting my urge to strip her off her dress right then and there. Since the night at the party I couldn't just push away the thought of having doing things to Emily that even the thought of it would make her blush.
I pulled away after lingering for a bit, a sweet vanilla smell was coming out of her. Looking back at her with a smirk, I saw the beetroot red Emily back.
''You don't have to thank me.''
She smirked at me,’’ Then what do I have to do?''
Don't say anything perverted! I warned myself, ‘’let’s start with taking you to my home?’’ I raised an eyebrow at her and she blushed instantly. It is like I have no control over myself!
''Goodnight.''
''Goodnight. Don’t fantasize about me much, or you wouldn't get much sleep.'' I added with a wink.
She wagged her eyebrows and gave me a teasing smile,’’ Wouldn’t you want that!'' I winked.
I would love that was my instant response but I bit it back, she may get freaked out because of the desperation I was reaching to, I wanted Emily, real bad. I checked my watch and it was already 11:30. I couldn’t help but be a bit shock, time flew so fast when I was with her. ‘’Bye.’’ I bid Emily adieu, with grumpiness in my voice noticiable.
''We'll meet tomorrow after your practice?'' She asked me hopefully.
''Yeah.'' I added grinning; she smiled and started leaving, limping a bit.
''Take care.'' I shouted, knowing she would get annoyed at my mother-like behavior. She looked back and frowned at me and, as if couldn't help herself finally smiled.
I shook my head slightly, laughing to myself at her childish behavior.
*-*-*-*-*-*
''Oh wow!'' I said it aloud, again. But, this time I made sure that no one was around.
you are still stupid!
I would be ecstatic if you stopped talking!
I seriously felt stupid for talking to myself but, now it seems natural to me. That is so weird!!
The date or whatever it was beyond my belief. It was too good to be true, everything seemed perfect. And in his presence I couldn’t help but blush, even in this slight and unusual weather my cheeks were constantly warm . His breathtaking smile was no good either, my heart couldn’t stop beating hard against my chest and I was afraid I would have a heart attack. Thinking about him right now was making me hyperventilate again.
Retard, slow you heartbeat rate NOW!
Trust me, I had tried that all the while it wasn't working. It was as if my heart has changed its beating mode. I know weird right! But, whose heart is it?! Don’t answer that.
I limped my way through the backyard, when I went to the front of the house I realized what a nut-head I was, how the hell would I open the door? I don't have the keys. What a piece of useless shit I am! I felt like smacking myself.
happy realization.
I was so annoyed at myself that I didn't even retort back.
What am I going to do? I can't sleep outside its cold, I won't call Ben my heart will have a permanent damage! I am screwed!
Suddenly it hit me that I can call Ian. I was about to do the happy dance for yet again being so smart but, then I got reminded of my injured leg.
I so much wanted to do the dance!
You had to talk to Ian? Douche.
You douche! Your whole family douche!
I called up Ian after swearing at myself.
I could hear the ring tone,’’ pick up pick up pick up.'' I sang.
Ian heard my prayer and picked up the phone but didn't say anything; I could feel his heavy breathing in the phone. Okay, now I am feeling bad, I woke him up! Oh, that only lasted for two seconds. Thank god! I thought I was turning paranoid, because I was feeling bad for Ian!
''Ian, I need your help!'' I shouted.
I got no reply but breathing on the phone.
I tried again,’’ Ian wake up! I need your help!''
He didn't answer again but I knew he hadn't hung up on me. I was getting pissed off now. It was bloody cold!
''You stupid mutt! Wake up!'' I screamed at the top of my lungs, I was pretty sure if he didn't hear me through the phone he could definitely hear my voice.
''Uh?'' He asked drowsily. How long does it take him to get conscious?! Asshole! I am freezing!
I grunted from the pain that I could feel more prominently now,'' Get up! And let me in your house. I am sleeping with you today.''
He laughed on the other side,’’ I always wanted to hear that from you.'' He said and chuckled.
I am freezing here and he is flirting! What a jerk!
''Would you open the fu*king—'' I started screaming but, then I realized he had already hung up on me. Effing perfect!
''Yeah, I would.'' He called out from the door, with his trademark smirk lingering on his lips.
I limped my way to his house, grunting on the way from the pain. He grinned at me and ran his hands through his hair and kept his hands on the door not letting me enter, I gave him a frustrated look and he gave me an lopsided grin in response, he was wearing nothing and was bare-chested but, thankfully had covered his legs with sleeping trousers.
I have to agree he looked hot surprisingly, it did not do anything to me, I did not feel the current through my body which I had felt the whole night.
I took a step towards the door, expecting him to side step so that I could enter but stayed there on the door, blocking my way.
‘‘What now?'' I asked him, annoyed.
He winked at me and then gave me a flirty smile, seriously! At this time of the day? '' You know what you have to say?
‘‘What?'' I asked him frustrated.
He again flashed his trademark smirk and if he didn't let me in now, I would have surely punched him square in the face! ‘‘Say I am awesome.''
I gave him in an annoyed look. No way in hell am I saying that!
You'll die of frostbite, kick that ego of yours and say it!
Fuck you!
''OH puhleez! Even if I say it, it does not make you one.''
''You are staying out then, happy freezing!'' he said and started closing the door.
''OK! Fine! You are awesome.'' I said reluctantly.
''That's my girl.''
He took my hand and led me inside.
I went upstairs like I owned the place. I would kick his butt if he would complain! I took my sweater off and kept it on his studying chair which I doubt he even uses. I climbed on the bed quickly and snuggled inside the blanket, it was still warm from Ian's presence. His tall, muscular naked body...Emily! You are drifting! I scolded myself for the dirty thoughts that had crossed my mind.
''Get off my bed!'' He shouted at me, I winced.
''I am not going to, sleep on the floor.'' I replied smugly, stretching myself even more on the bed, occupying as much space as I could.
He growled, well, he is a morning person so, he is bound to love his sleep but, I am not sleeping on the floor with this leg! ''I ain't sleeping on the floor; I will lie on you if you don't move. Now!'' he replied.
I pouted,’’ Please Ian, my leg is paining like hell!'' I gave him a puppy dog face.
He scowled at me, I knew it was working, It always does! Way to go Emily! ''Then, you need to sleep with me, I can't sleep on the floor, my back is no good.''
"Ian!'' I whined.
He smiled at my childish behavior,’’ I will throw you out of the house if you don't bear with me!''
'okay.'' I said, seeing no way out!
Have a goodnight, Emily.
Shut up! Shitbag!
He scooted over, thank heaven his bed was large otherwise the skyscraper would have been all over me, I know how he sleeps, obviously. Instead of going over to his side he instead slept like a giant in the middle of the bed. His bed was large otherwise I would have been crushed by now.
''Ian.'' I mumbled, he turned towards me our faces inches apart, '' MOVE!'' I screamed on his face. But, he didn't even flinch or move just turned his back towards me.
I scowled at his back for a moment before settling back our bodies were almost touching, I could see his cheeks pull up, he was smiling! Piece of shit!
After a while I grew more restless, the bed was comfortable with Ian radiating so much heat that you could roast a chicken! But, I couldn't just fall asleep! Bloody hell.
Suddenly, Ian turned towards me and wrapped his arms around me, I squirmed to get out of his arms slowly, afraid to fall off the bed, maybe that was the reason why my heartbeat had taken the highway route. But whatever it was, that boulder didn't move an inch.
‘‘Ugh!'' I screamed. He didn't even stir, what a pig!
In the end, I was sleeping with his arms around me, surprisingly; I wasn't restless anymore and was actually drowsy.
''Goodnight.'' I think I heard Ian whisper in my ear but, maybe I was imagining things. Bah! I was too tired to care.
*-*-*-*-*-*
''You slept with me!''
She shot me a dirty look, I smirked back,'' Would you stop saying that? I just 'slept' with you.''
''That's what I said.'' I wagged my eyebrows suggestively. She was getting annoyed and I loved it.
She grimaced at me,’’ How will I go back home?'' she looked a bit worried.
Okay, time to use my gifted brains!
''I will distract Aunt and you will sneak in? Okay?'' I asked her. She didn't reply and looked deep into thoughts.
I barely said 8 words! What's there to think about?! It was a pretty simple plan.
She looked a bit concerned and nervous, ''How will you distract her?''
I smirked at her, ‘’this face, baby. It does the miracle.'' I pointed at my face.
She groaned,''Ok. Let's do this. Thanks Ian.'' She smiled.
''Anything for you Ma'am.'' I replied, grinning.
We went out of the house, it was still cold. It was barely after 6 in the morning, I wasn’t expecting any better. I started trying to wake her half past five and she finally gave in and woke up at six, cursing my whole linage! Lazy ass.
''Stand behind the bushes, I would distract her and sneeze once; it’s your cue to go in. Okay?''
She mock saluted me,’ Affirmative.'' Damn! I am going to fantasize about that now, I groaned internally. We went around the house and she hid behind the bush next to the door, as I had asked her to. I rang the doorbell.
How will I distract Aunt Rhea? I had no freaking clue.
''Hi, Ian.'' Mrs. Walker looked sleepy but as soon as she saw me her face brightened.
What should I say? ‘‘Hi, I uh..'' I stuttered! Shit!
She looked at me confused, waiting for me to say something,’’ Are you looking for Emily? Should I call her?'' She gazed towards the staircase.
''No!'' I kind of screamed at her, panicking at her preposition. She looked a bit taken aback. ''Actually I wanted to show you something.''
''Okay?''
''Its something that Emily did. I wanted to show you. Don't tell her I showed it to you.'' I have booked myself for another round of cursing; telling her mother how she wrecked my car the other day was definitely no laughing matter, she was bound to get scolded for it. I was speaking in a normal tone so Emily wouldn't have heard it otherwise she would have killed me right here!
''Ok. What did she do now?''
''It’s in the backyard, she sort of um...Vandalized my car.'' I am so going to hell!
She gave me a shocked look,’’ seriously? Show me!'' she shouted, enraged at once.
I pretended sneeze once and then took Mrs. Walker towards the garage. I hoped Emily would sneak in fine and didn't mess it up.
''Wait, I'll get my shawl, its cold outside.'' She said.
Fu*k! I turned around, seeing Emily going inside when she met my gaze she turned panicky, I quickly turned Mrs. Walker around,’’ No, its fine. Hurry up, if she gets to know I told you, she'll kill me.'' What a lame answer Ian! I took her towards the car preventing all her attempts to look back. Ah! That was a close one.
''Where is your car Ian?'' she asked me looking around confused.
Oh dammit! I had sent it for a car wash! It was due by eight today.
I grimaced,’’ I think my mum sent it for a car wash, sorry for wasting your time.'' I apologized.
''Its okay, honey.'' she smiled at me and started going back.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
''You, a*shole! This is how you distract her?'' Emily growled at me as soon as she got in the car. I was trying to hide my smile so I concentrated on my driving.
I tried my best to make a puppy dog face,’’ Sorry, I couldn't think of anything else!'' I wasn't really sorry at all!
She glared at me, probably knowing I did that on semi-purpose,’’ That bi*ch scolded me so much because of you!'' she said angrily.
I turned towards her in disbelief, probably banging into some car in the process,’’ Emily that's not how you talk about your mother!'' I scolded her. She had lost all respect for her mother and it really made me sad, she is the only family she has now but, she refuses to let go off the past.
''Shut up!'' she retorted like a spoiled brat.
I understood all her anger towards her mother and I wonder what she did to ignite it now,''Em, is something wrong?''
''NO.''
I knew something was wrong, she was a pathetic liar.
''I will throw you off the car if you don't tell me.'' I threatened her.
She stuck her tongue out at me,’’ I dare you to do it.'' she said, her eyes brown eyes glinting. Crap! Now what?! Going to lose to a girl Ian?
I gave her a flirty smile,’’ You are too precious, cupcake!'' I whispered.
''I doubt that.'' she said with a serious face.
Something is really definitely wrong! You need to boil five puppies to get Emily so upset. Oh wait! She went with Ben yesterday, did something happen? My muscles instantly got tensed at the thought.
''Did Ben do something wrong?'' I asked her, I really hoped he did. I would beat the last breath out of him! Did I have anger issues? It seems like.
She turned towards at me and smiled at me, ''No. The date was perfect.''
I was so not interested to know how her date went. The thought boiled my blood a bit.
''I am not going to bore you with details.'' she added when she saw my expression. My face softened, sometimes she is very thoughtful.
''Then why are you so annoyed and angry?'' I asked her when we reached school.
She glanced at me once, ’’ later.'' she said and got out of the car quickly.
Damn! I can't wait so long; I will die of the impatience and curiosity by that time! I went inside the school building feeling defeated, if it was because of Ben, he would have been killed by now! Okay, I really am turning melodramatic! Geez!
''Hi, Ian.'' some female voice cooed in my ear.
I turned around to see it was Ellie,'' hi.'' I responded. She is the typical girl, blond hair which is almost white and straight like a broom, legs tanned and long. She didn't look natural at all, every part of her shouted fake. But who cares about being natural when her body parts, you know what I mean are awesome!
''What are you doing these days?'' She asked me twirling her hair and looking at me through her lashes. I noticed she was wearing contacts and that made her eyes twitch continuously, I tried to stifle the laugh erupting out of me.
I was so sick of this regular flirting routine, why can't we just get down to it? Anyways, I had to throw in some Ian charm to get her in my arms, ''I have been looking for you sweetheart.'' I said with a wink.
She blushed,''Oh, you are just saying it.'' She replied, I knew it pretty well that she was fetching for more compliments.
I smirked at her and then added,’ Have been waiting just for you, honey.'' The response to this lame ass flattery was, she fluttered her lashes at me with such force, I thought it might fall off, ‘’Oh really?’’ She asked, fetching more compliments. I sighed, ‘’Yeah, You’ve been in mind for quite a while.’’ I told her suggestively.
‘’And where else have I been?’’ She flirted back.
‘’If I tell you, you''ll be begging for me’’
Her eyes checked out every part of me, as I stood there with the smirk, ''We should go someplace private.
Thank god! She was down to business, ’’ Anything for you angel.'' I replied. She looked at me and smiled and took me by collar.
If I would tell Emily that Ellie threw herself at me, she wouldn't believe me. She doesn't know how hard it is to resist this guy! Whoa, did I think about Emily while making out with a girl?! I am in deep shit!
I heard her moan and trance back to reality and shut the janitor's closet.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
''Where were you?'' Bryan asked, eyeing me.
I gave him a bored look, doesn't he already know?'' With Ellie.'' Points to Ian for remembering her name! Honestly, I remembered her name for the only reason because she was friends with Emily some three years back.
He smiled at me,'' Dude, enough already you should settle down!''
I looked at him amused? Do I look like a retard?' 'I am not like you 'Bry baby.' '' I replied laughing my ass off. 'Bry baby' was the nickname by which Ashley used to address him. Stupid guy! He left all his ways and settled down for Ashley and surprisingly he isn't bored yet. Maybe he really loves her! Oh god! I felt like puking again!
He punched me on the arm and glared at me,’’ Don’t get angry Bry baby.'' I smirked at him. He was going for the punch again and I doged him easily.
''You wouldn't get it Ian. When you'll find her, you'll know.'' Bryan said with a serious tone.
That's sound weird when Bryan says it, okay, that sounds weird anyway. ''Blah bleh bleu!'' I said and gaged my throat in front of the road. Bryan just rolled his eyes at me.
Just then somebody came and slapped me on the back, I looked back to see it was Chace, a good friend of mine. I gave him the chest bump, that was customary.
''What's up Walter?'' He asked me in his rowdy voice.
''Same old, same old.'' I replied nonchalantly and then coughed. He gave me an amused look. I glared at him and he tried to hide his laugh. Ugh! These guys are so irritating!
Chace was smoking and that made me cough. I don't smoke, I have tried but, it didn't work out really well, it was more like I would have a coughed the life out of me. My friends always made fun of me that I wasn't man enough to even smoke! That was very frustrating so,I tried smoking again it was nice it soothes you but, I wasn't able to do it properly.
Hey, don't judge me! I am not a loser!
''Shaggin’ girls?'' he asked and grinned at me, ''Yup.'' I replied, a smile forming on my lips.
He ruffled my hair and left as soon as he had finished his stick. Bryan looked at me annoyed. I smirked at him,’’ You are unbelievable.'' He said and shook his head.
I grinned at him, why was he getting so annoyed? He knows that's how I am,’’ I know.'' I replied.
