Mae.
The ray of sunshine touched my skin and immediately I felt the burn, in my subconsciousness I moved away from it, my hand landing on the other side of the bed, it felt warm and empty, a light kiss on my forehead made me jump immediately.
I was met with the familiar honey eyes and I wondered what and how he-
Oh?
Oh!
Fucking oh!
He must have noticed how I flushed immediately at the remembrance of everything that happened, he wore an amused smirk, his sculpted body in front of me, I could faint and I just woke up!
"Good- Good morning," I mumbled quietly, not wanting him to smell my morning breath. I stood up heading for the bathroom, but his hands stopped me, still giving me that amused expression on his face.
"What's on your mind? Did you regret it? What-" I placed my hands on his chest to stop him from his questions.
"I'll be back," I said and he gave a stiff nod.
Was he... nervous?
I shake my head, getting those silly thoughts out of my head, I stepped into the bathroom, closing the door on him to go do my business.
Twenty minutes later I'm out, feeling refreshed with my towel on, I noticed he wasn't in my room anymore he probably also went to freshen up.
I sighed as I walked towards my wardrobe, feeling a little lazy to search myself something to wear, I finally pulled out my regular jeans and tank top.
I wore them, and I thought of dressing my bed before stepping out, just then I saw both my torn nightie, pant and Nicole's dress on the ground.
Nicole's dress.
Nicole.
I left Nicole.
Shit!
In worry, my eyes searched for my phone, also made an utter mess of my bed then it already was before I found it on the desk beside it, I groaned in frustration before dialling her number.
It rand a few seconds before she picked.
"Oh my God, was I beaten up yesterday on my head?" She asked tiredly.
"I'm so sorry I left without informing you Nicole something happened and - and - Gosh I'm so sorry, I was drunk and my goodness I didn't know how I found myself with Dustin and then the hottie came and- and-" I rambled on.
"Wait what? First, you were Dustin and how would a grown man like Mr hottie even get in?"
"Remember Mr hottie is basically Kingston Keith that everyone knows so much?"
"Oh, will you tell me what happened- I mean in deets?" She asked and from where I stood, I felt a hand around my waist, I gasped a little before relaxing into the body.
I knew his touch anywhere, it was too familiar.
"Mae?" Nicole called again and I didn't realize I was lost for a second.
"Um- um yeah can we talk about this in school?" I couldn't even talk properly with how he had started peppering kisses on my neck.
"Is anything wrong there?" She asked. Concerned.
"I'll talk to you later babe," I said hurriedly before hanging up.
I turned around, playfully nudging him.
"Hey I was on a phonecall" I whined pulling away from him and he simply smiled.
"Yeah basically talking about Mr hottie," he said with a knowing look and my smile dropped.
Gosh, he heard everything.
"Um yeah- someone she um-" I didn't even know what lie I wanted to spill out.
"Yeah, the Mr hottie everyone knows so much?" He teased further and I glared at him, before walking towards the door.
"You were eavesdropping!" I said walking out and I heard his footsteps behind me and before I know it, I'm on his arms.
I gasped in bewilderment.
"Kingston!" I whisper yelled, I really didn't want people to see us like this.
He only chuckled. "Put me down!" I demanded and he only dropped me when we got down the stairs and then I walked away from him with a dramatic huff.
I walked into the dining room with my lips curled up, I couldn't help but think how we went from frenemies to- this I guess, I don't want to think about what we were now.
"She walks," I heard Mr Ivan mumble and I rose an eyebrow at that.
My eyes rose to meet Kingston's face and I found him glaring at Ivan.
What did he mean?
The though totally disappeared from my mind at the sight of Emma, in her usual state, sitting heads down, with that same depressed look on her face.
Why does she pretend so much?
My mood totally ruined once again, I decided it would be the last, I found my way to take a seat across her, my eyes creeping her out and obviously, that was the essence.
The sound of the seat right beside me squeaking made me realize that I wasn't the only one in the room once again, yes that's how much concentration I poured on gazing at her.
Kingston nudged my arm beside me but I ignored it, everyone else on the dining probably noticed everything going on, besides the tension was thick also, just then Mr Ivan decided to clear his throat like it would stop me from speaking my mind anyways.
"Why the hell are you here!?" I blurted out.
Her eyes snapped to mine in fear, I noticed Mr Ivan's hand slipped under to her side, giving her comfort, I guess...
"My love, please not now," Kingston pleaded with his eyes, as I felt his hands softly rub my thighs too.
"No, I want to know why she's here," I urged.
"What are you up to? Why are we living under the same roof? Why-"
"She can explain alright!" Mr Ivan snapped, I quivered, but that didn't stop me from responding.
"Well then let her speak Mr Ivan, you're not her spokesman are you?" With the tone of my voice, I guess that ended the brief conversation with him, as he swallowed whatever was left for him to say, even though that was unusual for a man like him.
"Mae," I heard his sweet voice call again.
"I just want to hear it, is that bad? I have the right to know why she's here!" I couldn't help but exclaim this time, my patience was running thin and my anger losing out.
And there she was, sulking again, honestly, that was already pissing me off the more.
"Why are you so emotional?" My irritation wasn't missed.
I heard Kingston scoff, muttering something like "as if you're not,"
"Mae," she finally started between her sobs, and my eyes squinted, trying to understand what she was about to say.
"You- I don't know if you would be able to-to ever forgive me," she pleaded, and right there I found Ivan rubbing her arms with his hands, his eyes soft watching her.
"Why are you here was the question," I interpreted.
"Liam-" again she choked on her tears. "Liam-" again she said like she was in pain, her body trembling as she mentioned his name.
"Mae please don't bother her with this, I'll tell you everything myself," Ivan pleaded, but now I got curious and somewhat scared.
What if Liam...
God, what if I misunderstood...
"What did Liam do?" This time my voice came out firm, and I swear if Liam tried to do anything to her I would...
"He - He assaulted- assaulted me," my head tilted in confusion, as I had just heard the most absurd thing.
"What!?" I exclaimed. "And you didn't tell me? Your parents? Hell the police!?" I rushed to her, grabbing her wet cheeks, before hugging her tightly and just right then she began the whole story of how they met before resumption and everything he's been doing to her, the bastard had even been raping her since resumption, my God...
"Ivan said he's in the police custody, I just- just don't want to be anywhere near him in my life Mae," she concluded, although I noticed she called Mr Ivan, Ivan, but who am I to think on that, I call Kingston... Kingston, sometimes hottie.
"And I promised you, you wouldn't ever have to see him again didn't I?" Ivan said firmly, I noticed his hands formed into fists his knuckles white.
"I'm so sorry Emma, I'm so sorry I was so insensitive I-"
"No Mae it's not your fault," she said but I could only sigh to that, still something wasn't right.
"But-but why would Liam hate me so much as to make you lie that I-" I got cut off by my own exhaling, it wasn't one of distress, instead one of anger.
I stood up immediately, facing Kingston who already was at my back, I noticed he had become handsy since this morning.
"Take me to him," I gritted out.
"What? No!" He rasped, making me madder.
"What's no!? I'm going to see him and get his balls out of his body, he deserves to be castrated and behind bars!" I seethed out.
"He long is," Ivan said, and again I turned my head back to him in confusion.
"What do you mean, he long is?" I enquired.
"I mean- he long is behind bars," he said.
"Well then, take me to him!" I felt him shove me backwards, his hands over my waist from behind, a habit of his I've noticed, completing it with his head on my neck, inhaling me.
Somehow even when I didn't want to, I relaxed unto him.
Soon I realized I was in front of faces and I jacked out of his gold, clearing my throat, my cheeks are probably so flushed due to the embarrassment.
"I can't believe him- so- so he hated me so much to destroy a relationship I treasured for so long... I can't believe he's the reason Dustin and I broke up," I said shaking my head in disbelief.
As I walked towards Emma for the second time, she hugged me instead this time.
"I'm sorry," she whispered again, I faced everyone only to meet Kingston looking at me with an expression I couldn't quite understand, one I would take to be hurt?
An angel passed by, until another clearing of throat interrupted, this time from Tabby.
"Nobody wastes my food," she said sternly and with that, we all chuckled.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
After long hours of spending time with Emma and Tabby, and eating dinner too, I thought of retiring to my bedroom, also to finally have space from a handsy man who couldn't keep both his hands and eyes off me, it was so awkward and even Emma noticed it, oddly she only gave me a genuine smile at his simple subconscious gestures.
I toiled up to my room door, just before opening it, I heard Kingston's voice behind me.
"God what is it this time," I muttered in frustration.
Couldn't he just stay alone by himself?
Well not like I don't mind it but...
Sigh.
"We need to talk," he stated, his hard stare making me wonder what I did now.
"Um okay, let's- get in I guess," gosh he made me nervous again.
We both walked in, and immediately I got to my bed I sat down, crossing my legs, waiting for whatever he had to say.
"What happened between us yesterday night..." He started and honestly I don't understand why I feel so nervous for a topic I've been anticipating and also avoiding for too long.
"I just want you to give me a chance, us a chance, I want you, we both know it, I'd do whatever it takes, I just- I don't regret it even if you do," he said frustratingly as his hands tightly ran through his hair.
He was nervous as fuck.
"Please tell me you did not regret it," his eyes desperate for an answer.
I sighed, standing up to walk towards him, he was cute like this, but I didn't want to tease him.
"I don't," I said with a smile, placing my hands on his shoulders, he was that tall, I tiptoed to do that.
"Tell me you want nothing to do with that boy ever again,"
I smiled at his insecurity. "We aren't together anymore Kingston and I don't think I could ever give him a chance ever again," I assured, before giving him a peck on his lips, which of course he turned into a kiss as he raised me, my feets weren't meeting the ground.
He pulled out, before placing me back on my feet. "Tell me you want to give us a chance Mae," his honey eyes could make me melt really, his lashes were long, for a man, but still he was beautiful, I took my time, paying attention to his features which always had me drooling.
"Mae," he called again.
I snapped out of my daze, laughing to myself before looking up to his eyes again, I found his confused state funny but I stopped the urge the laugh this time.
"I- I think- I-"
"God damnit Mae, please give us a chance," he pleaded, lifting my two hands to his beating heart.
"Yes I want to- I don't know if this is wrong, I don't know what I'm doing or saying, I'm literally confused about how I have feelings for my guardian and - I- I don't know but like yes it's what my heart wants, I think I- I think I have feelings for you and- and I guess I'm willing to like try it out? I mean-" he didn't let me finish my rant before he captured my lips, pulling me into yet another passionate kiss that had me trembling.
God, I don't think I could ever get tired of this- of him!
"One last thing," he said after we pulled out and I groaned, pulling away completely.
"I'm done answering your questions now will you answer mine?" I requested.
"Anything," he said.
"Take me to Liam," I demanded and again his smiley face fell.
"Please," I begged, whining.
"Okay," he said. "On one condition," he continued.
"Which is?"
"Go on a date with me," he said smirking.
"A date!?"
