Chapter 28 Kissing Michael

Chapter twenty-eight
Jones
I open my eyes slowly. The first thing I can see is the fan rolling endlessly. Why am I sleeping? I must have slept off while waiting for Michael. I sit up and my mouth drops open in shock at the sight of the naked man sitting in front of me. I look back at myself and discover to my dismay that I'm not in my clothes.
My heartbeat accelerate and I had to place a hand over my chest to stabilize it. I couldn't think, it feels as though I've been brainwashed. Who the heck is that? And why am I only in my underwear? I scream at the thought.
"Oh, you are awake," a deep baritone voice reminds me of the present situation. Again, the voice sounds so familiar. There's no fucking way I'm missing that. It's Dave.
"Dave?" I call, unsure if I'm right.
"Yes baby".
Gosh!
I get down from the bed," What the heck are you doing in my room!" I yell in anger but suddenly realize no one will hear anyways. The room is soundproofed.
Dave looks up from his laptop, "What are you thinking of?" his eyes roam all over me, then settle on my chest area. I follow his path of gaze and a yell escapes me. I rush to the bed and cover myself with the blanket.
"What the fuck are you doing? "
He grins widely and whirls to look at me, "Even though you are still a virgin, yet you have dirty minds and you think dirty. I didn't touch you. I don't touch girls without their consent.".
Glad to hear he's not entirely a bad guy.
"So, what am I doing in my underwear?" I ask amazingly because his explanation seems funny.
"I pulled it off," he says casually and turns back to continue what he was doing. I feel a sudden surge of anger. I walk before me and take the laptop away from him.
"You did what?"
He looks up at me again and licks his lips as he stares enigmatically at my chest. Fuck! I run back to the bed to cover myself. Gosh, why am I so draft?
"So, are you telling me you don't remember anything at all? Either way, you are going to pay for ruining my suit the second time. I'm not playing with you this time around", he says and continues with what he was doing on his laptop.
Then it all came back at me in a rush.
I planned to have dinner with Michael but couldn't when I saw him with a lady. He even kissed her. Gosh, I was so pained and sad that I decided to get drunk. And wait a minute, I saw Michael and I kissed him.
" Hey! Where's Michael".
"You refused to divulge his room number. So, why ask me that kind of question," he says and stands up to look at me slightly. I look at his hairy chest and my cheeks went red. I look away to avoid the embarrassment. I don't believe I can be in the same room with Dave. He's naked and I'm half-naked. There's absolutely no way I would convince people that we didn't have sex if they see us together like this.
"But he was the one I saw when I was drinking right?" It seems like a stupid question with the way Dave stares down at me," Or maybe not, "I correct myself and look away.
He pick a black hoodie and put it on before looking at me again, "You kissed me, ok. And you were going deep. I had to stop you"
What!
He wears his gold chain, a wristwatch and starts combing his hair.
God, I'm so embarrassed right now.
I look at Dave again, "Where are my clothes?"
"I got you new clothes. The other ones are in the dustbin," he says casually, "Are you going out or what? Because I'm going out already."
I can't see Michael now. I don't even know if he's still with the girl. And I can't stay in my room. I will be bored and I will be thinking about the earlier incident. I don't even want to get reminded, for now. I will deal with it later.
"Ehm," I clear my throat and look up at Dave, "Is there space for one more?"
Dave raises a brow, "You mean you want to tag along?"
I think about it again and slowly nod my head.
"Well, I'm going clubbing. I don't know if you do that"
I shrug slightly with a huge smile, "I like to try new things."
Hethemiles, "I will give you thirty minutes to get ready and meet me at the bar room. Is that enough"
"Very much Dave, thank you".
It feels as though he just did me a huge favor.
I let him walk out of the room before I enter the bathroom for a quick bath. I know I shouldn't be thinking about this but well, I have no choice. I don't even know how we would relate henceforth. Just thinking about it is bringing pain to my heart.
I check the clothes on the bed. It's a pink hoodie and a pair of black jeans trousers. I put it on and walk out of the room. Perhaps, I should go and see Michael now. What if I meet them having sex? What if I faint? I don't even want to think about anything close to that right now. I will just enjoy my night with Dave.
When I enter the bar room, Dave looks up at me with a smile before moving closer to me, "Are you ready?"
I smile and nod briefly, "Let go"
We walk out of the restaurant and enter a red Lamborghini. This guy loves anything Lamborghini.
I couldn't see on our way because of my illness. Even when we parked, everywhere was still dark. But when Dave sent some messages, there suddenly seems to be light everywhere. I look at Dave amazingly. Something is telling me he did something, "What did you do?"
"Something that will make you enjoy this night," he says and gets down. I get down as well and look at Dave reassuringly. There's suddenly something in me telling me to trust him.
We danced together, drank together, and joked together. Tonight was really fun. I look at Dave again. He's talking with someone on the phone. I try to think about him, perhaps change the way I see him in my head. Maybe he's not that bad. I mean if it was someone else, they would have taken advantage of me earlier.
"Do you like what you see?" Dave says suddenly, startling me. I hiss and look away.
" I didn't see anything. Was just thinking about your Jekyll and Hyde's personality. A moment, you are bad and the next, you are good. Are there two human beings in you?"
He laughs so free now. Alright, he looks cute whenever he laughed. I should tell him to laugh always.
"I'm not a bad boy, I just have rules", he pulls off in the parking lot. I walk out of the car and wait for him to do the same. He walk to me, "I told you not to tell Richard that it was Felix that took his drink".
I grin," He asked for it", I remember what happened thereafter and I burst out into fresh laughter, Dave join in. He was the first to sober, "I want to tell you something Jones," he pause slightly and I look up at him. He seems to hesitate and I kind of wonder what could be disturbing him so much, "I__".
"Boss, you have a call from your dad," a guy interrupts, walking closer to us.
" I will have to see you later Jones," Dave says and excuse himself.
I wonder what he wanted to say the other time.
I walk inside the elevator and all the memories of Michael come back. I wonder why he's doing it at the moment. Is the other lady gone or is she still around? Why can't I just stop thinking about it? I should start accepting the fact that Michael isn't mine and will never be. I can't even compare myself with the lady I saw the other time. And I don't even know if Michael loves me enough to choose me. I mean it may not make any sense but I could feel the chemistry between us. I thought it was going to dork well. I even brought the wristwatch to give to him. Gosh, I'm such a fool to believe I can get things I wanted. I prayed to God to keep my father saved but he died. I prayed to get kissed by someone that loves me for who I am but I got kissed by a pervert. Maybe I should stop praying. Maybe I will eventually stop wishing because nothing has been working.
I open my door and walk-in. For a minute, I feel like going to Michael but just as it has come, the feeling evaporated. But well, I can just look around
I lock my door and whirl around but stops suddenly as I stare at Michael. What the heck is he doing here? And why is he here? I don't expect him,I must say. I thought he might be somewhere with the lady he kissed that day
"Where are you coming from", he didn't look at me
I try to relax and stop the mad beating of my heart. I'm not going to lie to him either,"I went out with Dave,"
Michael stands up and I feel my heart stop for a moment. The stare he's giving me is disturbing, "I told you to stay away from Dave. Why then did you go out with him?" He looks exaperated and worried. Well,he's always worried whenever Dave is concern.
I watch him for a while. He seems so strange now. I look away, "You were busy and I didn't want to disturb you, "I look at him now, valiantly," Is she your girlfriend?"
"What?" He exclaims softly. I blink once, then twice in a sly manner, "No, wait Jones. You saw her?", I didn't reply,I just stare," Wait,don't get this all wrong Jones. She's my ex-girlfriend alright but that has nothing to do with this" his voice sounds so different. You can barely know if he's fighting me for bringing her up or he's fighting himself for kissing her.
" Well, I saw you kiss her. So, I didn't want to interrupt you guys," I say as a matter of fact. I'm sure he didn't think I saw them kiss. I wonder what they did next.
He went still for a while as if he was thinking about something. His gaze was elsewhere as if he's trying to phrase something," Jones, there's something I want you to know. The lady is my past, ok? I don't know what you saw but I want you to trust me,"he looks up at me now.
I sigh," I know and it's ok. Don't worry, you don't need to explain anything, "I intend to walk but Michael pulls me back. My heart did a sudden bam at the movement. I look up at Michael forcefully,imagining what he's thinking about. Michael have never been like this and it scares me to see this side of him. Why is he suddenly acting like this?
"What are you doing?" I ask fearfully as I struggle to free myself.
"I'm_," he starts, forcing me to stay put. My heart beats have suddenly accelerated. I wonder if he can hear them too,"I'm not going to hurt you," he says with so much emotion. I have never heard him talk that way too. Damn! There are a lot of things I haven't seen with Michael. We stare for a while as silence permeate between us. Just when I thought he would let me go, he pulls me closer and kisses me.
What the fuck is happening?
