123-Don Kiss Me Yet
“Maddox! Are you for real? Let me go,” I complained, wincing as I attempted to free my arm from his grasp.
“You cannot ignore me, Beatrice. You are the reason I am. stuck with that clingy Dream. I wanted to get a reaction out of you. Little did I know, you have already decided to give your all to my brother.” The urgency in his voice surprised me.
He was jealous of his brother!
“Let me go, and then we will talk.” I attempted to free my arm again, but he didn’t let go. In fact, he looked behind me at someone and then did the unexpected.
He freaking kissed me.
My eyes bugged out as his lips pressed harder against mine. His hands held me close, and his eyes closed as he en- joyed my taste. It took me a few seconds to react, but the mo- ment I was back to my senses, I placed my hands on his chest and pushed him back with force. The kiss broke, and he back- stepped a little farther, keeping a safe distance between us.
I was glaring at him, debating whether I should slap him or punch him. It was just the way he did it that confused me. First, he showed possessiveness, and second, who the hell did he look at before kissing me? I turned around and watched Helel looking at us with a stern look on his face. I then looked ahead again with my lips parted and my eyes questioning Maddox.
He cannot be serious.
“You did it bec— I paused to clench my jaw. So he thought this would break Helel and me apart if there was any- thing going on between us.
“Heart wants what it wants,” Maddox smirked, leaving me with a mess he started. But as he turned around and stepped aside, we saw Dream standing behind him.
She glared at Maddox and then at me before she turned to her feet and ran out of the mansion.
“Shit!” Maddox cursed, rushing after her.
Not only did he get me in a mess, but he ruined his friend- ship with Dream too. It was well deserved for him, but I was collateral damage.
“You were calling for me.” Helel stole my attention again. He wasn’t even looking at me when he demanded to know why I was yelling his name just a few minutes earlier.
“I-umm what was I going to say?” I whispered to myself, feeling lost and a little distracted.
“Oh yes! I want you to help me sneak out of the mansion to meet with Colt,” I said, composing my posture again.
“Hm! Okay!” Helel sounded different. He was stealing his eyes from me and constantly clenching his fist.
I urged, saying there is nothing going on between me and Maddox, but that would give him false hope. Why do I need to explain myself to him?
So I didn’t say a word.
“Grab the paper and your jacket; we will leave in a few minutes,” Helel mumbled and rushed out of my sight without sparing me a glance.
I don’t have to worry about the brothers. When I wanted them to have me for themselves, they were busy playing games. Now I have so many other things to focus on that I don’t want to be official to
anyone.
I grabbed all my stuff as he had asked me to and left for the parking lot, where he had been waiting for me in his car. He was wearing a white shirt with blue jeans, and I must say, he looked devilishly charming. The way he quickly glanced at me from head to toe made me feel like he also liked what he
was seeing. I wore a gray cape top with black jeggings and had left my long blonde hair open after curling it from the ends. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
I have never done so much, but today I wore pink lipstick. I didn’t think too much when getting ready, just that I was re- ally loving myself for some reasons.
He held the door to the passenger side open for me, and I understood he didn’t want me to sit in the back anymore. I rolled into the car, and soon he got inside too.
“I feel comfortable in the backseat,” I said, trying to pull the seatbelt, but it seemed stuck in something.
“I don’t want to look like your driver,” he argued, looking over to see what I was fighting with. He stayed silent for a minute before he cleared his throat to let me know he was go- ing to approach me.
I pulled back so that he could fix the belt. He hunched over and reached too close to my body, his face almost brushing mine as he grabbed the seatbelt and stretched it easily across my body easily. The way his strong hand brushed against my stomach gave me butterflies in my stom- ach. I had to turn my face to the other side to avoid feeling that way.
“You got ready pretty well for this meetup. Are you sure it is not a date? I hope you are not making me drop you for a date,” he scoffed as he straightened his back on the seat and started the engine.
“I have more important issues to focus on now,” I shrugged, but he scoffed sarcastically at me. I bet it was be- cause of what he saw earlier. I don’t know what Maddox was thinking, but sometimes he made
me really question his ac- tions more than anybody else’s.
As Helel was driving through the driveway, we saw Mad- dox and Dream standing in one of the gardens and arguing.
“Is he breaking up with her for you?” Helel asked, and I am glad he checked his tone and language before accusing me of ruining a newly formed relationship.
“I didn’t kiss him, he kissed me,” I muttered, remembering how Maddox tried to get me in trouble but was dealing with stress himself now.
The rest of the car ride was incredibly silent. It was just me noticing the popping veins of Helel most of the time.
Soon we reached the café and just when I got out of the car, Helel too joined me.
“I want to speak to Colt alone,” I argued, stepping back from him and wanting him to give us some privacy.
“No! You will talk to him before me or someone else. I will have to take you back home.” Helel replied and folded his arms over his chest.
“So! Either we are going in or back to the car,” he added, making me narrow my eyes at his face.
