Chapter 20
Cassie looked at Daniel and he continued. “I know I have lost my chance but trust me Cassie I didn’t want to lose you because you are my only friend also I had no courage to hear that our kiss was a mistake because it was the most beautiful moment of my life.”
Cassie squinted. “Are you out of your mind or something?”
Daniel shot up his shoulders. “What do you mean?”
Cassie took a deep breath. “Didn’t you hear what my mom just said about you?”
Daniel smirked. “Well, technically it wasn't just me it was about Steven and me.”
Cassie slapped on his shoulder. “Do you really think our kiss was a mistake?”
Daniel raised his hands in the air. “It doesn’t matter because you already make out with Steven.”
Cassie got perplexed. “I told you about that kiss and why on earth that kiss is bothering you so much?”
Daniel sighed. “Rita and her friends saw you and Steven in his dorm while you guys were.” He enveloped himself in his arms and pretended to kiss in the air.
Cassie kept a hand on her head and dropped to her bed. “Now the whole Elite would know about it and my scholarship could get canceled.”
Daniel sat next to me on the edge of my bed. “Rita is not going to tell anyone she is not that kind of girl.”
A fit of jealousy coursed through Cassie’s veins. “How do you know what kind of a girl Rita is?”
Daniel looked at him. “Because she forbade her friends to tell anyone what they saw through the dorm’s window.”
Cassie smiled sarcastically. “She forbade her friends but she told you about it.”
Daniel responded immediately. “Because she was hurt when she saw you holding hands with Ryker.”
Cassie stood up. “Oh my God, why on earth she is targeting my love interests only.”
Daniel asked. “How could you love two or three guys at once?”
Cassie slumped her shoulders. “I think I can Daniel and trust me I was as shocked as you are right now when I got to know about it.”
Daniel asked. “About what?”
Cassie joined her index fingers of both hands with thumbs and raised both hands in the air to explain. “I am polyamorous which means a person can engage in romantic relationships with more than one partner at the same time.”
Daniel shook his head. “This is ridiculous because this is called cheating in simple words.”
Cassie clenched her jaw. “This is not cheating because in this everything happened with the informed consent of all partners involved.”
Daniel exhaled. “So Do all your partners know about this?”
Cassie shook her head. “You are the first I am confessing.”
Daniel asked. “Then what about Steven and my brother Ryker? Are they your love interest or not?”
Cassi nodded. “I am not sure about Ryker because I don’t know what I fell for him but for you and Steven I am hell sure.”
Daniel asked. “Did you have sex with Steven?”
Cassie looked the other way. “No, I told you that day as well and I am telling you now no I don't have sex with Steven.”
Daniel asked. “Do they know that we also kissed?”
Cassie shook her head. “No, I didn’t tell them about you but I tell them that there is a third guy in a picture.”
Daniel adjusted his glasses. “You didn’t tell them about me because you were embarrassed. Right?”
Cassie flicked on Daniel’s head. “Sometimes you just don’t use that fucking thing right in this head of yours and just do the diarrhea from your mouth.”
Daniel was taken aback by Cassie’s bold response. “What?”
Cassie explained. “I didn’t tell them about our kiss because I didn’t know if you were going to be okay with it or not as you are the most sensitive one but the more close to me so I cared about you, jerk.”
Daniel was overwhelmed with emotions and he grabbed Cassie by the neck and began kissing her. The fact that Cassie was not prepared for this caused her to lose her balance, and she ended up falling onto a bed. After Cassie had fallen onto her back, Daniel landed on top of her. Cassie gasped as he continued to kiss her lips and his tongue crept into her mouth. Daniel kissed Cassie's lips until they became raw, and then he started to move his kiss from her lips to her cheeks, and then to her chin, and finally, he buried his face between her neck and shoulder. Cassie began to feel a surge in her body as a result of this.
When Daniel turned his kissing into sucking her neck, Cassie also buried her head back into the mattress and her hands enveloped Daniel’s back. Daniel continued to suck her neck until she started feeling a burn in her skin and told him in her shaky voice“I……I looove thisssss ppppppain. I…..I never felt it.”
Daniel stopped and raised his head and when his eyes landed on the magenta mark on her neck he cursed. “Fuck.”
Cassie opened her eyes and asked. “What happened?”
Daniel kissed on her lips. “I just gave you a mark on your neck.”
Before Cassie responded they started hearing a loud banging downstairs in the kitchen and Cassie exhaled. “I think we should go down now.”
Daniel asked. “But why?”
Cassie pushed him away, and Daniel rolled off to her side. "Because my mom is not the right person to keep secrets from. She can barge into my room at any time."
Both stood up and Cassie rushed to grab a scarf and wrapped it around her neck to cover the mark because she didn’t want her mom to know what they were doing in her room.
Cassie held Daniel’s hand. “Listen Daniel I didn’t confess myself as polyamorous to Steven and Ryker but I did give them options to quit and now I am giving you as well.”
Daniel nodded. “I would be lying if I said I am not shocked but yeah I will give you my answer tomorrow.”
Cassie sighed. “Just to let you know, in case you leave me, I am going to hurt so badly because no one can replace you, and your part will always be a void in my heart.”
Once again, they heard a loud bang and Daniel said. “I think we should go downstairs before Ruth collapses this house.”
