Encounter

MATTHEW’S POV

I thought I was struck with lightning after kissing Aleia. Her lips were soft as cotton balls, it tastes like grape wine that can take anyone’s sanity. I would like to make it deeper but the waitress was there and I was hesitant about how would Aleia would react after. We just met this morning but it seems that I have known her a long time ago.

I wanted more. I am just a man with needs but I can’t just take advantage of her. She’s the only one I knew on this island. Without her, I’ll become a lost soul roaming around. She was looking away from me after the kiss. Silence covered us making our coffee cold already. Twilight has started to dominate and the sun was out completely.

“Aleia.”

It’s me who decided to break the silence. After all, I need to take charge of my action. But I almost lost my sane when she looked at me. She looked bothered and confused. Though she tried to smile. “Mmm… about the kiss. I’m-” I was about to say sorry but she interrupted.

She raised her hand. “It was nothing. We just did it for fun. I wanted you to enjoy your stay here. Finish your coffee, I’ll wait for you outside.”She stormed out right away after that.

Damn! What she said were the exact words I said earlier. Yeah, I did it for fun. But why do I have this feeling that I want to kiss here more than that? Her lips have driven me crazy. I can’t stop thinking about it.

I left the untouched coffee and followed her outside. I saw her talking to a guy who I thought was the same age as her. They were both laughing but they both stopped when they noticed me. The guy looked at her as if he was asking if who am I?

“Jake, this is Zach. He is one of our guests,” Aleia said.

“I was not informed that you became a tourist guide now,” Jake answered sarcastically. For me, it sounded like an insult. I was clenching my fist trying to control the outburst.

“He is alone and I happened to see him so I guided him to Mrs. Will’s house,” Aleia replied.

Jake smirked at me. “Well, the usual you. Anyway, don’t forget tomorrow night. I’ll expect you there. You can bring him with you,” he said while looking at me. “I’ll go ahead.” Then he left us.

“Who is he?” I asked, tipping my head to see her more clearly. She turned back and started to walk away. So I followed. “Hey, wait for me. Are you mad?”

“He is Jake, one of my friends here. He invited me to his birthday.” Her answer did not match my question. “Are you coming with me?”

I did not answer. For what. I don’t like that guy. He looked so intimidating. It was just a waste to attend his birthday. But the thought of him with her burdened me. Am I jealous?

“Okay,” she said.

“You know what, Ale? You looked so familiar. Have we met before?” She stopped walking but did not move. I moved in front of her. “Have we?”

I repeated.

She shook his head. “I’m not sure,” she started walking again. I grabbed her wrist.

“What’s bothering you? You’re so quiet.”

“Nothing. I’m just tired. Let’s go home.” She was still walking ahead of me. I just followed her and watched her hair being blown by the wind.

We looked like a couple in a quarrel. I smiled at the idea. Why not? She can be a perfect candidate. I’m sure she will not go after my wealth because she does not know me. She’s plain, simple, and independent. She would not be a pain in the ass.

* She was still quiet when we reached the house. She did not even look at me.

“Will you be okay here?” she asked as we entered the house.

“I guess so.”

“So, I’ll go ahead.” I nodded and she left.

I was left alone, feeling the emptiness of the house. I still imagined how soft her lips were while I was lying on the bed. I couldn’t sleep either especially since she was so cold after it happened.

I decided to get up and looked outside. It was dim already. The sea breeze is getting colder- I grabbed my coat and headed to the door. I was surprised to see Aleia near the door. She looked surprised to see me too. She recovered her composure when she noticed me.

“Aleia, why are you there? I mean you could have called me or knocked on the door,” I said as I gestured for her to come in.

“Ohm, I was… just thinking… If maybe you still want to eat?” she said, while messing the tip of her hair which made her sexy.

I nodded and pulled her closer to me.” That was what I thought a minute ago.” She gasped when I raised my hands and traced the corner of her lips. I could feel the heat starting to build in my body. The tension and the urge to kiss her are more tempting than any food. She was just an inch closer to me. “I’m craving for”

I saw her swallow. “What?” Then at an instant, I moved closer and pressed my body to her. Then, I kissed her. At first, it was just a tease, testing her if how would she react. She tried to push me at first. But I turn to switch positions and cornered her in the wall with one of my arms, the other arm holding her. I let go of her lips for a second.

“Zach,” she said softly and seductively. I kissed her again. I sucked her upper lip and bit it just enough to make her moan. Her moans just ignited my manly desire. That gave me the signal to kiss her more. I pushed my tongue inside and she willingly welcomed it with hers. Our tongue battled, like armor in war. My hands started to explore her body. My mouth started to go down to her neck. She smellslike vanilla and tastes like grapewine.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

I sucked her neck and heard her moan again. I can feel her gripping my waist and arching her body. Maybe still wanting for more. My hands went downward, touching the surface in between her two proud peaks. My lips went back to her lips again and kissed her like there’s no tomorrow. I started to take off her shirt without breaking the kiss, my hands leaving the same heat as mine.

“Aleia, your making me crazy, “I said in between kisses. My mouth traveled down to her bare neck kissing her all over. She is half-naked already may be ready to give in.

Our intimate moments were cut off by a loud knock on the door. But I did not stop kissing her. I continued what I was doing.

“Zach, mom is looking for you. Your dinner is ready.” It was Cleofe, that little brat. I stopped what I was doing for a while.

“Tell your mom that I’m not hungry!” I shouted then gave Aleia s soft kiss on her lips. She had already put on her dress.

“Can you open the door? I can’t hear you. Is Ale with you?”

I looked at Aleia who was blushing at the moment. She looked so bothered. “Why don’t you hide in the bathroom first while I’ll try to drive that little brat away?”I whispered and try to catch her lips for another short kiss. Aleia was so responsive. Every part of her ignites my manly desire. I never felt this way before. I never felt so damn turned on!
