Chapter 11: Chapter 11

"Did you seriously do that?", I let out a loud laugh.

"Yeah and I got detention after that", he chuckled as he took a sip of his drink.

"I couldn't believe you did that to your teacher", I wiped a tear from my left eye.

"What? He was short, baldy, and extremely annoying. I couldn't help it", he defended.

"But waving your hands around his head like it was a crystal ball while he was walking in front of you? That's so embarrassing", I said still laughing.

"Kind of. The whole school was laughing like crazy when I did that and then he turned around and saw me hovering his head", I laughed again. I couldn't imagine the situation.

"So did you do anything crazy while in high school? Or any embarrassing moments?", he asked.

"Um, I don't know. I was kind of a nerd and I only had few friends. So I guess no. Sorry", I said apologetically.

"That's cool. How about boyfriends?", he asked. But I could see the curiosity in his brown eyes.

"I did have a boyfriend surprisingly and we lasted almost two years before he dumped me at senior prom", I shrugged like it was nothing. Damon was great but he just wasn't the one.

"Really? What a jackass", Sean seemed tense but hid it by gulping his drink.

"It was my fault. He wanted to spend time with me but I was always busy doing homework or studying", I took a sip of my soda.

Sean suddenly felt quiet and ate the rest of his pizza. I looked at my watch and it was pretty late. Sean noticed me checking the time. "Are you going home?", he sounded hurt.

"It's already late", I said slowly.

"But tomorrow's Saturday. Or do you have a plan?", he asked suddenly aware of my answer.

"No. "

"Then stay here for a while. I'll take you home. Please?", he pleaded. I thought about it for a second. Maybe staying for a while wouldn't hurt, right? I never had a chance to have fun anyway.

"OK"

"Great", he smiled widely.

Honestly, I didn't want to go home just yet. And when he asked me to stay, I couldn't be happier. I mean who didn't? An extremely good-looking guy just asked you to spend time with him. Not to mention he was kind, hot, and incredibly rich too. Wait, why did I sound like a gold digger?

"Valerie", Sean's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah?", I said.

"I said do you want some dessert?", he asked.

"Um, yeah sure", I scratched my head feeling embarrassed.

"Great. Because I'm sure you're gonna like it", he winked.

He got up from the couch and headed towards his mini-fridge. He took out a box which I assumed would be a cake. He put it on the table and opened the lid revealing a cheesecake.

I smiled widely. "How do you know I love cheesecake?"

"You told me", he chuckled and my face was red in embarrassment. Of course, I told him at dinner last week. Stupid me.

"Unfortunately it's the last piece so we have to share", he smiled sheepishly.

"I don't mind", I muttered.

He got us two spoons and he handed me one. I started to dig in and it was so good. I wondered where he bought that.

"Do you like it?", he asked.

"Like it? I love it", I said enthusiastically and he just chuckled.

After finishing the cake, I couldn't move. I was stuffed like a Turkey. I pressed my back against the couch to relax and I started to get sleepy. I always did when I was full.

"I'm so full", I whined.

"I'd be surprised if you didn't", he laughed.

"Thank you", I said sincerely.

"For what?", he looked intently into my eyes.

"For everything. I mean, you saved me from some kind of psychopath that wanted to rape me, then you buying me dinners and this", I looked at the messy table.

"It's nothing. And besides, I always want to treat you", he whispered in my ear.

"What's that mean?", my eyes widened, didn't expect him to say that.

"It means that you're my girl, Valerie. And I'll always treat you right like a princess you are", he caressed my cheek bringing me a chill sensation.

Our faces were inches apart and before I knew it, his lips pressed softly with mine and my whole world was like a firework. He deepened the kiss and my back now was laying flat on the couch, him on top of me. I grabbed some of his hair and I heard him moaned between the kisses. But then a knock from the door made us stopped.

Another knock was heard and Sean cursed under him breathe. He kissed me one more time before he answered the door.

"What?", he snapped at whoever it was.

"Woah, slow down tiger. What's got into your pants? And why didn't you... Oh, and who's that?", the blonde guy asked pointing his finger at me.

He entered the room and walked towards me, ignoring Sean's curses at him.

"Hi, I'm Larry. And you are?", he offered his hand to shake.

"Valerie", I gave him a small smile taking his hand to shake.

"That Valerie?", he turned his head to Sean but Sean just gave him a death glare but Larry just shrugged then turned his attention to me.

"So nice meeting you, Valerie", he said kissing the top of my hand.

"OK. That's it. Get out", Sean said dragging him out.

"Woah. Is that a way to treat your worried best friend? I waited for you for hours and then I came here to check up on you and you just kicked me out?", Larry said dramatically making me smile a little.

"You see me now. I'm totally fine. So get out", he said pushing him towards the door.

"But I want to bond with Valerie", he pouted. "And also I... " he couldn't finish the sentence because Sean just shut the door in front of his face.

"Sorry about that. He's a little bit of drama queen", he said apologetically.

"I think he's nice", I said.

Sean looked at me like I was crazy. "You called that nice? He's annoying"

"Oh, come on. He can't be that bad. He just worried for you", I giggled.

"Worried me my ass", he shook my head.

"Anyway. It's late now. Can we go home now?", I yawned as I looked at my watch.

"Yeah, sure. Come on", he said taking my hand.

"Wait, we need to clean these messes", I said letting go of his hands and started to pick up the trashes.

"Just leave it there. My guys will clean it up for me", he said taking my hand.

"Well, hasn't your mom taught you not to let others cleaning up your messes?", I joked and he sighed in defeat. "Fine. Let's clean it up"

After making sure that everything was clean, we made our way out to the door. I didn't see Larry anymore meaning he might have gone home, probably upset with Sean kicking him out.

When we reached downstairs, the club was getting louder and crowder than before though it's almost midnight. Sean never let go of my hand and led me to the exit.

I sighed in relief once we stepped outside their club. I'd die if I spent another minute in that place. I guess this would be my last time going to the club.

Sean led me to one of the cars which were parked right outside the club. He opened the passenger door for me to get in. I muttered thanks to him before closing the door. I was done putting my seat belt on when he got into the driver's seat. He started the engine and drove away from the club.

The entire drive, Sean kept holding my hand. Not that I mind. His touch sent warmth to my skin making me not want to let go. The only time he let go of my hand was when he had to change the gear. But unfortunately, this moment had to end once he pulled over in front of the apartment.

Instead of getting out of his car, I stayed seated there still holding his hand. Then my eyes turned to his brown ones as he was looking intently at mine. Then his gaze turned to my lips and without thinking, I lean forward and placed my lips against his.

He grabbed the back of my neck deepening the kiss while my hands roaming on his chest earning a low groan from him. Then slowly we pulled away, his gaze never left mine.

"So, I'm gonna go now", I said blushing.

"Yeah. Goodnight", he muttered.

I was about to open the door when a hand grabbed my elbow. "Wait"

"Yeah?", I turned to look at him and he looked nervous.

"Uhm. I don't know how to say this properly and Uhm... Okay, all that I want to say is that I know we still don't know much about each other but I just feel like... Damn it, no what I mean is.. ", he started to rambling.

"Okay. Slow down", I chuckled and took one of his hands. "Take a deep breath", I said and he did.

"Okay. Now what do you want to tell me?", he took another deep breath and slowly let it out.

"Valerie, will you be mine?", he said almost in a whisper. My eyes widen, didn't expect that to come out from his mouth.

"It's OK if you don't feel the same way. I mean, I'm so stupid to ask you this and... ", he quickly said but I silenced him by pressing my lips against his.

"Is that a yes?", he asked once I pulled away.

"What do you think?", I flashed him a smile and he grinned placing yet another kiss on my lips.
