Chapter 14: Chapter 14

"Romeo."I breathed.

I sounded strange. I don't think this is my real voice, it came out as a moan, like I'm desperately pleading for something important. Well, maybe I am.

I want us to stop what we're doing. I want us to stop but my body isn't paying attention to what I want. What I want is different from what my body wants.

My body wants us to continue this make out which is turning intense already but I don't want us to continue.

I'm afraid about what might happen next.

"Don't you like it?"Romeo's husky voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

He had stopped touching me, his hands slided away from my waist.

I swallowed hard. Damn! I know that I really like what he wants to do to my body. If I have the chance, I can spend a month with him so that he would touch me everyday.

"Just stand still and enjoy yourself, Ivy." He whispered softly into my ears.

He pressed his lips on mine. The kiss was not rough like the previous ones. Instead, it was slow and passionate, sending a warm tingling sensation into my body. Both of us were exploring each other's tongues, the kiss made me want for more.

I think I like this kiss better than the rough kiss, that one didn't give me a chance to think properly or be able to explore well.

Still kissing, I felt his hands working on my shirt, trying to unbutton the buttons. Finally, he was able to do that. I wondered how he was so fast in doing it despite focusing most of his attention on kissing my lips.

My shirt dropped on the floor. I was still putting on my bra.

Romeo broke the kiss and moved an inch away from me, his eyes fixed on my breasts.

I suddenly became shy and insecure. I was shy because he was staring intensely at my breast and it's the first time I would appear half naked in the presence of a guy.

I was insecure about the size of my breasts. I'm flat and even a late bloomer, I started growing breasts when I was fifteen.

With the way he was staring at me, maybe he was thinking about how small my breasts were.

He walked closer to me and cupped my cheeks, blue eyes piercing into mine."You're beautiful, I swear."

My cheeks turned pink."T…Thanks."I stammered.

"Undress or should I help you? I wanna see all of you."

I quickly shook my head."No."

At this moment, I was glad that I was able to control my feelings and I didn't go with what my body wanted.

"Why?"

"I'm a virgin."

" I know."

"I don't want to go deep. I don't want to have sex yet."I blurted out.

His eyes turned a shade darker as his eyelid dropped."I was turned on by you. By your body, Ivy."He muttered, picking his words after the other, like he was trying to convince me.

"I - "

The sound of the school bell indicating the end of lunch hours interrupted me. The school bell saved me though, honestly I don't know what to say to him.

I just know that I'm not ready for sex for now.

"Wear your shirt then and go to your class."He murmured and walked out of the class, before I could say 'tat'.

What just happened? Is he pissed off or what? If he was upset because I refused to sleep with him, then that confirmed what Samantha said. He just wants to have a taste of me.

I hissed and silently wished that he wouldn't be upset because of that.

****

It was closing time. After what happened in the afternoon, I haven't caught a glimpse of Romeo till this moment. We had a class together but he didn't attend the class. I hope he wasn't trying to avoid me.

I desperately need to talk to Joey right now and tell her all what happened, but she's not available. She has a date with her boyfriend, Mark. Mark has successfully snatched my best friend from me.

Joey barely has time for our chit chats. Even now, I'm on my way home, going home by foot since Joey isn't available.

I heard a car horn behind me. I turned instantly, it was that familiar car. Romeo's car.

"My Prince Charming is here."I jubed happily in my mind.

Romeo stopped the car beside me, then peeped through the window."Hop in, Ivy."He said.

"Thanks."I muttered and entered his car, sitting down beside him.

Arcade by Duncan Laurence was coming from the car radio. One of my favorite songs presently.

" I hate hearing "thank you", especially from someone like you."He scoffed.

He started the car engine and it began moving.

I lifted my eyebrows."What should I say then?"

"Instead of saying "thank you.", do something sweet."

A corner of my mouth lifted. It took a minute for me to understand what he meant by 'something sweet.'

I leaned closer to me and planted a kiss on his cheek.

He beamed a smile, looking at me through the rear mirror."It's easy for you to understand things unlike other girls I've been with."

"Don't talk about other girls when I'm with you." I snapped at him.

"Are you jealous?"

"Of course, not."

"It's obvious that you're jealous."He chuckled softly.

He stole a quick glance at me before focusing on the car he was driving."Don't be jealous. You're mine, Ivy. I'm yours too."

I'm sure that I've turned scarlet red. Romeo really knows the right words to mutter to a girl.

I bent my head in order to hide my blush. I was just smiling like an idiot.

"Don't hide your blush, baby. You're so pretty."

Now, I'm blushing like crazy.

"Were you upset earlier?"I asked, stylishly changing the topic of our discussion.

"No." He replied.

"Where did you go then?"

"I went to the restroom to fûck myself. I can't do it in your presence. I might lose control just by watching you."

"Oh!"I murmured.

I don't know what to say anymore. The image of him pleasuring himself kept popping in my head. I tried to get rid of the image and the thoughts but it isn't going.

"Have you masturbated before, Ivy?" Romeo queried, jolting me out of my thoughts.

"Y..Yes."

"Wow! What made you do it?"

I looked away."You. It was when we had our quarrel. I was thinking about you. I didn't know how it happened, I just found myself doing it."

I was shocked when he stopped the car. Something like this could make him stop the car.

He stares intensely into my eyes."If thinking of me could make you do that, why didn't you wanna have sex with me?"

"I..I don't know. I'm not interested in having sex for now, Romeo."

He placed my palm on his lap and started the car."I won't force you. I will wait till you're ready."

I nodded my head and glanced through the window. It dawned on me that we aren't going in that direction, going to my house.

"Wait, where are we going?"I asked.

"My friend's house. Hang out with my friends and I for a while."

He added when he noticed the fear in my eyes."Trust me, you will be safe. I will be there with you, Ivy. I'm here to protect you from anything."

"Okay."

*

A few minutes later, we reached the house. It was the house where I came to deliver the pizza, the other day. I don't mind hanging out with his friends now. As long as he is with me, I will be safe.

Romeo pressed the doorbell and the door was opened immediately, as if they had been expecting him to announce his arrival.

"Hey gee."It was the guy I met the other day, Ronald. His lips curled when he saw me.

"Is that Romeo, my sweetheart?"I heard a voice from inside the house.

"Who is that?"asked Romeo.

Ronald sighed."Sharon."

I noticed that Romeo's face turned pale. Anyway, both of us entered the living room.

"Romeo!"The girl whom I suspected to be Sharon hugged Romeo tightly.

Her face kinda looked familiar. Maybe she is someone from our school.

My hands tightened into fists. I couldn't deny that I was jealous already.

Romeo broke the hug, glancing at me." What are you doing here, Sharon?"

Sharon's eyes fell."Why are you acting cold? I thought we were back together."

Romeo gave a half shrug. "No. I'm done with you, Sharon."

I watched silently as Sharon's lips trembled.

"W…Why did you fûck me t..today then?''She stuttered.

"Fûck you today?"The words just slipped out of my mouth without control.

Sharon nodded her head twice."Yes. At school. Romeo had sex with me today in the restroom."

My jaw dropped. I gazed at Romeo. He avoided my intense eye contact, having a blank look on his face.
