Chapter 28
He kissed me...
No he's kissing me, like right now. I don't move at first but he lightly bites my lower lip and I gently part my lips. The feel of his lips is so soft and delicate. His grip on my waist gets tighter as I respond to his kiss. Our lips move in sink and I loose my sense of reasoning. My hands make their way to his hair as I run my hands through his soft scalp.
We end the kiss to get our breathing back to normal. I blush crimson when the realization of what just happened hits me. His hazel eyes stare at my blue ones and I try to avoid his gaze. He clears his throat and I realize I'm still gripping his hair. I pull away in embarrassment and just then, Liza lightly knocks on my door.
"Francesca, you've been up here for a while, is everything alright. Can I come in" my eyes widen at her last words. "No Liza, I'm fine. I'll be there in a minute. Don't leave Sam alone like that"
Damien now has a blank look on his face and my thoughts run wide. Was that a mistake? Should I have kissed him back? Does he regret? Oh goodness gracious, this is so complicated. He turns to the window and starts looking at the pouring rain outside.
"Ok, I'll wait here" Liza says ignoring my last words. I roll my eyes and move to open the door. I quickly close it so Liza doesn't know Damien is in there. She'll ask questions and I'm not sure I have answers.
Liza eyes me suspiciously. Her brown eyes bore into mine for a while before she speaks "why did you leave like that? Were you upset?"
I grin at her worried face "I'm fine Lizzy, and I'm sorry for leaving like that. Sam had just asked you to be his girlfriend"
Liza rolls her eyes dramatically "oh please, you did nothing wrong. I would have left too if my sister was trying to seduce my husband right in my presence"
"That's not why I left" I say sternly. Is that really why I left? Even I don't have the answers.
"keep telling that to yourself, you might believe it soon. By the way your lipstick is a little smeared" Liza says heading for the stairs. I glare at her retreating form before trying my best to pout and fix my lipstick. I look at a nearby mirror and see that I'm good to go.
Damien is still in my room and that makes me uncomfortable. The realization of what just happened makes me furious and kind of happy at the same time. He just kissed me and didn't say anything, he initiated the kiss, he didn't even talk to me after that.
I really shouldn't have let my guard down. This is a contract marriage, we're not even friends.
I shun my thoughts when I get to the living room and see everyone sitting there. Tara is sat next to Chris and Fred and they seem to be watching a video. Liza and Sam are busy having a make out session which reminds me of what just happened between me and Damien some minutes ago.
"What's up" Fred says when he notices my presence. "nothing much, so what are we doing" I ask taking a seat on the empty couch.
"Just planning a fun night, we just want to play a game, we've been waiting for everyone to assemble"
Tara and Chris pause the video and give us their full attention. Liza and Sam also pause their make out session. "okay I'm here now" i say with a smile.
"Okay, where's Damien?" Tara says giving me a smirk. I understand what she's trying to do. She knows the trick she pulled up earlier got to me"
"Oh, he's here. Finally" Sam declares with a sigh. I look back to see Damien majestically walking towards us. His hair is still neatly styled but I see what my hands did to it. He has one hand in his pocket as he slowly makes a stop towards us. He sits next to me without even glancing at me.
Tara gives me a hard look clearly upset that Damien is sitting next to me. Is this girl for real?. She just comes to my house and gets upset that the man I married, out of love or not is sitting next to me? Wow, she really is obsessed with my life.
"Okay guys, so we're going to be playing T or D but with a twist. Every dare must be completed, but if the person you were dared to refuses to partake in whatever was asked, then it wasn't your fault so the game can go on" Chris states glancing at Tara once in a while. I have a feeling he's into her but I really do pity him, Tara will only toy with him. Though his wealthy and popular, she's looking for someone more powerful, Like Damien. She already has her eyes on him and Chris will only be a pawn in this game of hers.
"Okay Tara, let's start from you and i" Chris says. Tara gives him her signature cocky smile and winks "ok"
"I dare you to pick a guy in this room, any guy of your choice and give him a twenty seconds kiss. It can be more if you both want but it can't be less" I tense up on his statement, Chris thinks she'll pick him but I know she won't. It's going to be Damien and I know it. Will he reject her kiss? Liza gives me a look and I instantly know she's also thinking the same thing. We both know Tara so well, Sam and Fred grin at Chris thinking she'll pick him. Damien just watches the drama going on.
Tara stands up with a smirk and like I predicted she heads towards where I'm sat. I know she's not here for me, she smiles as she sits in between me and Damien and literally pushes me aside. She wraps her hands around his neck and slowly brings her face to his. Damien looks shocked but he doesn't push her away, neither does he say no. Slowly but surely, her lips collides with his and she starts moving her lips. I turn away and focus my attention on the series playing on the TV even though it's on mute. Chris diverts his eyes too and I instantly know he's hurt. I don't know if Damien is kissing her back but from the sound she's making I know the kiss is not over. I can't believe my sister is doing this with my husband in my house, Damien is also kissing her when he could have said know. He kissed me barely thirty minutes ago and now this. I don't know why I'm feeling bad, I don't know why it hurts but I guess I just feel used. I'm glad I don't have a real relationship with him. I guess it would have hurt more.
"The twenty seconds is over" Liza says in a loud voice.
It's obvious Tara doesn't care ...
