Chapter 4:

   Our faces were inches apart, her lower lips trembled and I could feel her nervous state. 

   I loved my lips closer and, lashed it on hers.

    Damn it!

     She tasted like strawberry. 

      At first, she was shocked and didn't return the kiss. Later, she reciprocated. She wrapped her hands around my neck, opened her mouth to give me more access, and stick her tongue into mine.

   Damn it!

    Her tongue in my mouth gave me the whole sensation I ever wanted. Her finger rolling my hair and pinching each strand from my skull. 

   ”Damn..”

  I moaned, my hand cradled her waist. 

  Suddenly, she withdrew from me. Her face held a shocked expression. 

     ”I'm... I'm so sorry...”

  She apologized like it was her fault. Before I could respond to her or get closer, she ran away. I turned in the direction she took, she went too fast that I couldn't even trace her. 

    ”Damn it!”

    I cursed. 

  I wished I had held her hand, I didn't want her to leave. It was the first time I felt something different with a woman. 

   The way she was scared at first, her tentative behavior. The way she held my hair in her finger, her tongue in my mouth. 

  Damn it! It was a different kind of feeling. 

  It took the howling of the night breeze to cut me off my thought. I really wanted that girl back, I really thought she would come back, however, she didn't. 

  I walked back to the guys, Anjelo was with a girl —they were making out. 

  I stood the drink beside the fire center and sat on one of the fallen trees opposite Anjelo and his new fling. 

   I stood a sip outta my drink and crossed my leg. I picked a cigarette from the pack box beside me, I smoked it in and puffed out the smoke into the air. 

  Some girls are just a fucking slut, she knew I was around and she wouldn't stop making out with Angelo.

   ”Hey bitch!”

  I called and gestured my head to her. 

  She released herself from Anjelo and looked at me seductively. The fire flashed through her white teeth.

    ” Scram!”

  I ordered.  

   She was surprised at my outburst, she stood on her feet quickly and took to her heels. 

   ”What was that for?!”

   Angelo snapped. He walked closer to me and snatched the cigarette from my lips. 

  Damn it! This dude and snatching. 

    ”Do you know how hard It was to make that girl kiss me?”

   He uttered seriously waiting for me to guess. Seeing j didn't budge, he answered;

    ”Ten minutes! Ten freaking minutes!!”

   He yelled. 

     Fuck it! 

    I used to think just like that, I thought getting a girl to kiss me real fast made her cheap. However, with that girl, I felt different with her.

    ”Dude, can you fuck it? I'm tryna think”

   I puffed out another round of smoke, stared at the fire, and wished the girl would come back.

  

       DIMPLE'S P.O.V

      I couldn't believe it. Austin actually kissed me?! No, I was definitely dreaming. The way he talked to me, held my hand and... And... Kissed me?!

  No, it was definitely a dream. His lips were so soft and they tasted like milk; sweet and calm. A ravishing taste that lasts forever. 

  You know when you kiss someone you simply forget what he was like. This was literally different, I remembered every one of his lips in my mouth. 

  The way he held my waist and brought me closer to his hard chest. I couldn't believe it all so I disengaged and chose to run away — I was nervous. 

  Now, I regretted that I did. I should have enjoyed the moment as Emily. I didn't tell him my name because I know he hated me, if I did, he would push me away which was the last thing I wanted. 

   ”Heyyyyy girl....”

   The familiar girly voice sounded behind me. However, I noticed her slurred voice. 

  

  Turning to her, her walking step wasn't balanced. She was held by a guy who looked drunk as well.

   ”Heyyyyyy beautiful!”

     She yelled unpleasantly, I found it annoying but she was cute anyway. 

   I walked closer to them, collected her from the guy who was drunk and tired as well. I really prayed that they hadn't made out or he hadn't taken advantage of her. 

  Good thing I knew how to drive a car. As I drove, I smiled each time I thought about the kiss with Austin, it was the best thing that had ever happened to me. 

   Disrupting my thought was my annoying ringing tone, I didn't change the original phone ringing tone. Yes, you're right, I never got an iPhone. 

  I wished I could. However, my dad had never given me the opportunity to. Although, he was one of the richest men on earth. 

  Seeing the caller ID, my heart bust for joy. It was my mother, she hardly called me because of my dad. He collected her phone and decline her access to anybody or the internet. 

   My mother has been nothing but a good wife but my dad never appreciated her for once. Just because he was forced to marry her didn't mean he shouldn't care for her once. 

  It was the same reason I ran away from home, I couldn't bring myself to marry someone I didn't love or who didn't love me. I didn't want to become my mother.

   ”Hey mom”

   My voice sounded. I did a U-turn.

  Her voice sounded shaky on the other end. I was very scared, I didn't know what dad had done again. 

  ”What did he do now mom?”

  I asked. My voice was laced with venom. I wished I could do something worst to the man but I couldn't. Aside from the fact that he was my dad, he was one of the richest men on earth.

   ”He...he... Didn't do anything. Baby, please don't come back. I don't want you to get married for money as I did. Don't... I don't want you to suffer like me”

  Tears mixed with laughter escaped her lips. As I drove, tears fell off my face as well. I wished I could pull her into a hug, however, I couldn't. 

  Tears fell off my face, my hand shivered against the wheels, I couldn't take it. As I wanted to talk, I heard the familiar voice roared over the phone, however, the voice was distinct.

 I knew my dad was behind her. Before my mom ended the call, I heard her rough breathing and I felt how scared she was. 

   ”Damn it!”

  I cursed and hit the wheel frustratedly.
