Chapter Sixteen

“Just be mine…”

“Just be mine…”

“Just be mine…”

I firmly closed my eyes and bit my lower lip every time I remembered those words from him. I want to scream in happiness but there's a part of me doubting. How come he likes me?! He has a lot of girls around here though I am not an exception.

Those words are like a flowing liquid through my veins that makes me dizzier than ever. Whether it's a poison or not, it feels that way. The tenderness I feel while watching his deep dark eyes became gentle as he said those words to me. It sends shivers everywhere in my body and as I feel that way, I wanna jump in happiness as that is what my heart feels like.

My heart stopped from beating when I remember a few times what he just said.  Just be mine. If it is just that easy to throw confetti, then I'd probably do it. I managed to calm myself. Ugh, it's very hard to do it right now. Imagine, my crush just said in front of me that he's owning me. Oh my goodness.

I knotted my brows as I suddenly felt dizzy. I almost passed out. Good thing, that Dawn was there to catch me. I firmly held onto his firm arms and helped myself to stand up.

“You're drunk, Helly. Let's go home.”

I snubbed him because I remember that Shannie and Yulla might have seen us a while ago! Oh my, those two have both malicious minds when it comes to me! 

He held my waist to help me walk over the crowded space and never, even a second he let go of my waist.

“Dawn, I can walk on my own,” I muttered to his ear.

“Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Eh? Why ask me back when he can just answer my question?

I shook my head. “No, I'm fine.”

“Good, then let me do this.”

I was left with no choice. It's not a bad thing though because I also like the feeling of being held in your waist by someone you imagined to do it for you.

Our pace was slow and when the moment we were on the couch where the three of us sitting a while ago, I noticed that there was already no one there.

I turned in every direction but I couldn't see them. Maybe, they're on the dancefloor and obviously, dancing. Shannie's been single for a long quiet time. Perks of can't get over from her ex.

“I can't leave them here,” I muttered.

He glared at me. “No way, don't you ever interact with that kiddo again.”

“Kiddo?!”

I almost blurted a laugh at his words. I was stopping myself from letting out a thunderous laugh but when I noticed that he seems not to want to laugh at all, I just fell into silence.

After that, my memories went blurry but there's one thing I remember. Of course, it will remain unforgettable.

He guided me while walking to the parking lot. I oddly waved my hands every time I saw someone on our way. They think that I'm crazy, (I'm crazy a Lil bit.) but heck, I'm just maybe... d-drunk?

This was my favorite part last night.

When we got to his black mustang, instead of opening the door to get in, I leaned and faced him. My mind at that time kept on telling me that I should tease him. How long can his temper last?

I tiptoed to reach for his nape and put my hands there. I saw how his jaw clenched, that's why I chuckled. This memory of mine is somewhat cringey for others but for me, it's my favorite part. He then went near me and I didn't expect him to do it!

“What are you doing, Helly?” a baritone voice escape a mutter from him.

I smirked. “Hah, try me.” Then, I grinned.

I could feel his cool breath until I finally felt his soft and hot lips on mine. That was teasingly fluttering! My eyes widened from his sudden move! Funny how I even think that I should complain.

I didn't respond to his gentle kisses but leaned me closer to the black mustang, a sign that I should let him in. I half-opened my mouth and there, he attacked it immediately. My cheeks are heated and it seems like you will be able to cook a meal there. My knees are trembling as every bit of his kisses sent shivers to my spine.

I closed my eyes and decided to respond. My hands are still on his nape while he's reached on my thin waist. He snaked it there firmly as if he wanted my body to glue it on him. I felt our lips wildly glided from each other and how sweet his lips are. I licked them and when he dare open his mouth a bit, I let my tongue in. He responded but he couldn't do anything on how to push my tongue against his lips and that's how I liked it more.

I've kissed a lot of boys before but this one is different. It made me think that it's my first but when it's actually not. When I gasped a second, he took that opportunity to claim mine, and just like what I did, he didn't let me do anything to push his tongue away from my lips. We were like that for more than a moment, as I could remember. After the long kiss, I let go as I was gasping for oxygen. I smiled. You're so much good at it, Dawn. I almost muttered. Now, I feel dizzy.

“What was.. that?” I whispered to myself and touched my lips. I avoided his gaze, they are sending a different impact on me. Like it will burn me to hell.

I can hear his sexy chuckle. I swear, every girl will get crazy if they hear it but heck, I'm clever enough so I shouldn't let him give that kind of chuckle to other girls.

“Yeah, let's go home. You need rest.”

Yeah, I need you. I nodded blushingly and went into his car.

The shock is very evident on my face. I realized Dawn kissed me last night! Not just a simple kiss but he gave me a long one!  I turned my head to him who was peacefully sleeping beside me. He looks so innocent there. I touched my lips and I am gladly admitting that I can still feel him there. The softness of his lips, I still could feel it there! I knew it would haunt me forever, his kisses will haunt me. Oh my, what's happening to me?

I removed the comforter and touched myself as I felt really hot. It's not that I'm sick again but I'm sweating. Maybe it was just a hangover so I went out the bed but someone grabbed me that made me lay back.

“Dawn!”

“Hmm, It's still early... ” he said in a husky voice.

I turned to the other side to let out a fluttering smile. Oh yeah, I looked like a crazy little brat.

I laid again on the bed but not near him. Heck, I'm disgustingly sweating. When minutes passed by, I could sense that he fell asleep again. So, I slowly removed his arms and managed to not wake him up.

I want to wash myself because I'm disgusted with my own smell. I was still in my outfit last night so I grabbed a shirt from his closet. Yes, we're in his unit. I don't know what to wear so I just grabbed a simple white shirt.

I walked to his shower room and looked at my wasted self in the mirror. I suddenly feel the chills from out of nowhere but the sweats are still there.

I removed my jeans to take a simple shower and as I removed them, I saw a red thingy at the top of my knees. I touched it but it's not painful. I even saw another one on my arms, near my elbow. I knotted my brows and didn't bother to think deeply about it.

I need to shower now because I disgustingly smell bad!

In his shower room, I could see how neat this room is. It was made up of black tiled floors. I turn on his shower and let the drops of called water fall on my body. When I glanced to the side where his soap is, I smell it and it smells so good as well as his shampoo. They are one of those expensive brands as I remember this one, dad used something like this brand before as his shampoo. The smell is very boyish. The scent soothes your nose and I know the scent in your hair will last longer. Now, I smell like Dawn.

When I finished washing myself, I put the white shirt from Dawn's closet on myself. Funny how I looked like a cartoon character.

“Oh, you're here. ”

When I finished washing myself, I went out of the shower room, and then I catch Dawn's eyes steps away from me.

“Uh, I borrowed your shirt —don't worry, I'll just wash this before returning it back to you. ” I smiled while my heart and knees were trembling.

He nodded. “You can get that, I have a lot of shirts here anyway. ”

I stopped myself from smiling. Hah, you can't fool me, liar. You only have ten shirts folded there so if I'll get this one, you'll only have nine.

“Oh, you sure?” I teased and hid my smile.

He nodded as if he was not lying. “Well, it's up to you. Whatever.”

He watched me comb my hair in the mirror and never, even once, leave me in his sight. I bit my lower lips as I watch his reflection, his hair are still messy, while his eyes are on me.

“Just get ready, you need to go to school.”

Reality hit me. Dang, it's not the weekend so I need to go to school or else Ethann will appear on the frame again. I don't want it to happen so I won't let him. Eh, he thinks that I can't resist him, he better think about it again.

“Can I be absent just for today?” I lazily laid myself on his couch. Damn, I'm tired.

“No.”

“Please,”

“No, Helly. ”

“Err, just for today. ”

“Helleon Eummer. Don't be stubborn. You will go to school later, period.”

I just rolled my eyeballs. I am lazy enough today to listen to our professor's discussion, maybe because of the hangover. And also, I want to be with him. Oh, I'm getting cheesy.

I groaned lazily and went to the dining area and ate my breakfast with him. I decided to just be absent from my morning subjects as I really want to rest the whole day. I told Dawn that he had to drive me to Suneast later.

“Just wait here,'' I said and went directly to my room when we stop for a moment at my unit. I changed my clothes into a simple white long sleeves. I don't know why, I really felt cold and maybe, it's just because of the aircon.

I paired it with a simple denim skirt that fit my legs and simple gladiators. I fixed my hair and tied it in a clean ponytail and put a tint on my naturally pale lips.

After doing my routine, I saw him still sitting on the couch while busy scrolling on his phone.

“Uh, Eriesyl's texting. ”

I don't even ask. I want to voice that out but he might think that I am jealous of his half-sister. Gross, I'm not that immature.

I just nodded and when we both entered to his black mustang. The whole trip is not quiet. I asked him about what else happened last night but fortunately, there's none. It's just, that we kissed, and then my heart was beating so fast again. Only Dawn can make me feel like this. Perks of falling in love.

We are laughing the whole time. I didn't know that he had a funny and humorous side. We are talking about our childhood memories. I even told him the names of my past crushes. I started to feel this strange feeling back when I was fourteen years old. He is my crush but I don't know his name. Heck, I don't even remember his face.

“See you later!” I enthusiastically bid goodbye.

Instead of responding, he grabbed me so I sit back in the car. “What?”

I don't know but I just saw him go near me and—his soft lips reached mine and he simply kissed it. I didn't see that coming.

I breathed heavily after that but he took my breath away again.

“You look more beautiful today Helly, see you later. ”

He let out an obsessing smile.
