Tolerating The Player

ZACH’S POV

I checked my phone and it was getting too late already, the saying about women taking too long to dress up was actually true.

I walked towards her room door and opened it to unleash my rage at her.

“Shit!” She cussed out of fear

“you startled me and hold on, what if I was naked?” She asked and I cocked my brow at her.

“It’s my house” I said and immediately noticed her. I had entered the room but wasn’t paying attention to the way she looked.

I lost my breath and words, I had come here to torment her but I couldn’t bring myself to say any word at the sight of her. She was the perfect definition of beauty, more beautiful than I have ever seen her.

The emerald green dress fit her perfectly as they hung perfectly on every right curve. Her hair wasn’t packed in a messy ponytail but rather her curls were left to fall on her back, her perfectly smooth back. Her lips were shining under the fluorescent lightbulb teasing me to touch it.

“Is there something wrong?” She asked, cutting me off of my trance.

“Nothing!” I said and walked out of the room, I couldn’t bring myself to tell her she looked beautiful because it might get into her head and she won’t see me as the monster I am.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

I walked into my car and started the drive to Lam’s house, it was just some few minutes away. Heaven knows I hated parties but the teammates won’t stop till they make me attend their parties and today I had to bring Bella along according to the dare.

I arrived shortly at Lam’s house and it was obvious the party was on already with the different wasted teenagers doing all sorts of things by their cars. I tried to look straight and avoid them when my eyes suddenly made contact with two teenagers having rough sex in their car.

I looked at Bella’s face but she didn’t seem to notice them so I continued my steps and entered the house.

On entering the house, my teammates spotted me almost immediately and gestured at me to join them with what they were doing. I went ahead and left Bella behind.

“What’s up man” Nick greeted and lifted his fist for a fist bump which I returned.

“I’m great” I said and he passed over a blunt he was smoking. It has been a long time since I smoked so I collected the almost finished smoke from him and puffed it.

I handed the smoke back to him and he stretched his hands to collect it. I didn’t want to smoke or drink too much because I wouldn’t trust Bella to drive my expensive and most precious car.

“How’s it going with her?” Bruce asked, pointing to Bella.

“Unexpectedly fine” I answered and they realized I didn’t want to talk more on the topic so they started to chat among themselves.

I couldn’t divert my attention from Bella as I kept watching her every move. It was hard to take my eyes off her.

I watched as her eyes shone at the sight of the purple drink in front of her but I bet she didn’t have any idea that it was alcoholic but only with a low volume but is still capable of getting her drunk.

I wanted to reach for her and warn her not to take it but at the same time I didn’t want to be that freak that was stalking a girl’s every move so I stayed back and watched her.

She reached for a plastic cup and poured herself some of the drink, she did the same over and over that I lost count of how many drinks she had taken then she suddenly dropped the cup and I realized she was probably drunk already.

The music changed and everyone in the room started to dance to the song including Bella herself but her steps were rather seductive as she shook her butt in a way that made her short skirt rise and fall leaving a little to the imagination.

A guy suddenly walked towards her with a bottle of beer in his hands dancing along with her, she noticed him and started to dance with him. I knew something was up and the guy wasn’t up to no good when he dropped his beer and placed his hands on her butt.

She still continued to sway her hips and her butt and it was obvious the boy took it as an approval as he suddenly dragged her to a corner that was hard for me to watch her.

I stood up to go meet them in case the guy would try anything funny but I sat down almost immediately. I saw no reason to protect her or stop her from having sex with a stranger but there was something in me that didn’t like the idea of her being touched by another, afterall she was still my dare and mine till some days time.

My mind wasn’t at rest as I stood up immediately and walked towards the corner he took her to. The scene in front of me made every vein in me cringe and every muscle in me got ready for a fight as I punched the guy taking him unaware.

He had wanted to force himself on Bella even though she was refusing him, his hands were slipping into her skirt squeezing her laps and bare butt really tight. I got really angry and I couldn’t control myself as I gave him another blow to the face.

“Dude what the hell” the useless punk yelled with blood filled up in his mouth. I didn’t want to cause a scene or make him end up in the hospital so I dragged her hands and left the room. Bella didn’t say a word but was observing everything. She was definitely drunk.

I took her to the lonely pool that was at a corner of Lam’s house. I was thankful the pool was empty and perhaps I could whine away time here.

I made her sit down on one of the expensive chairs that was beside the pool. I dipped my leg into the cold water not caring if my trousers would get wet. I wiped my face with the cold water and to admit, it felt great.

I turned to see Bella standing up from the chair and walking towards me, she had a mischievous smirk on her face and before I could process what she was up to, she pushed me inside the pool and started to laugh.

Her laughter was contagious and beautiful that I realized i have never heard her laughing before and yet the first time I’ll be hearing it she happened to be drunk.

“Are you fucking high!” I yelled as I used my fingers to remove the chlorinated water from my eyes.

“No, I’m perfectly sane,” she said with a smile on her face. I would have strangled her if she wasn’t in this state and also if she didn’t look cute.

“Make way, I’m coming” she said and jumped into the pool causing a big splash.

“Fuck it’s fucking cold!” She screamed almost immediately and I couldn’t help but laugh, of course it would be cold it fucking rained today.

I watched as she shivered in the water and decided to be nice to her at least just for tonight. I grabbed her by the waist and led her to the edge of the pool where I lifted her body making her sit on the blue tiles.

“Thank you!” She said and I brought myself out of the water sitting by her side. She looked okay and aware of the little things she does but she was drunk but not completely drunk.

“You’re welcome” I responded and she turned to look at me with her soft big brown eyes that shone under the huge light that was in Lam’s compound. Her lips were still shining and I was resisting the urge not to kiss her when she suddenly started to move her head closer to me with her eyes closed. She wanted to kiss me.

I placed my hands on her neck as I stared at the perfect picture right in front of me, I brushed her lips with my thumb and I could testify them to be the sexiest and softest lips I have ever touched. Everything about her was beautiful and her toned skin shine even brighter.

Her lips were now close to mine with just some inches in between, she was down for the kiss but I came back to my senses and stood up immediately, leaving her sited by the pool.

She couldn’t raise her head or bring her face to mine but I saw embarrassment written on her forehead as she slapped her head really loud that I feared she might have a headache.

I reached for my car trunk and brought out one of my big sweaters that I never forgot to take everywhere with me. I handed over the sweater to her and she immediately wore it before entering the car. I turned on the heater to the highest point and allowed our body to adapt to the warmth of the car.

We haven’t gotten so far when I looked by my side and saw her sleeping already with her wet hair scattered all over her face. The thought of her wanting to kiss me crossed my mind and I didn’t know what to feel about it.
