LETHAL

chapter 5

"What?" I asked again, my mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. What?

"They are back. Ale will drop you and Valenie home." He repeated and I had to really focus on what he was saying. I was legit sitting on his lap kissing him like there was no tomorrow and the next second I hear that I need to leave.

"Ale and Valenie are back and down in the parking lot. Ale will drop you and Valenie home. They are waiting." Enzo said, his voice cold and he seemed detached as he looked away tucking his hands in his jacket's pockets.

Okay.

I looked at him and it took a second longer to understand what he was saying and I nodded pushing the loose strands of my hair behind my ears. I needed to calm my nerves before I faced Valenie, or else she'll know something is wrong.

I nodded as I grabbed my bag from the coffee table and straightened the coat I wore over my dress. Enzo seemed to be in deep thought as he led me back to the lobby and called for the elevator to open. Just as we entered the elevator and the doors closed shut, I was again pinned to the wall and Enzo had his lips crushed on mine. What was just happening? He had my hands trapped over his beside my head and his whole body pressed to mine. He was sucking on my lips as if they provided him with water and he was a thirsty man in the Sahara desert.

Before I could process anything, the bell to the elevator dinged and he moved away again. However, my breathes came out abnormal. What just happened? I looked up at Enzo through my lashes and saw him biting his lower lip in what felt like anguish. I still hadn't recovered when Enzo stepped outside into the private parking lot and halted for me to follow him. I followed behind him too over the place to face him. My whole face was burning and I just felt like I needed something so bad.

Val and Ale were sitting in their car when we approached them. Enzo opened the back door for me and I just settled inside without glancing at him.

He shut the door after me and Enzo talked to Ale for a minute before Ale drove out of the lot. Just as we about to take a turn through the huge metal gate, I looked back just to take a small glance and saw him standing there, looking right over at me, directly into my eyes. I looked away quickly before laying back into my seat. Ale glanced at me through the rearview mirror and I realized he saw the exchange but chose to not say anything.

Oh, God. This will be so embarrassing now. I am sure Enzo won't keep quiet and tell this to Ale and before Valenie finds out from someone else I needed to tell her that.

Though she looked glowing. She had this huge smile on her face and she was so in love.

The ride was silent as Ale drove us to our apartment and stopped right before our building entrance. I climbed out of the car and walked inside, giving them both space.

Rushing inside, I unlocked the door and hurried to my room before Valenie shows up and starts talking. I always loved to hear her talk about how her dates went but not this time. I wasn't in the state. And I had just too much to drink. The alcohol was finally catching up to me.

I quickly undressed before getting into the shower to soothe off my nerves. I was a mess everywhere. And I needed to calm my throbbing nerves. This wasn't going how I imagined. Why did my heart flipped a beat when ENZO WRIGHT kissed me but never did when others kissed? Why was only his touch doing things and not the other boys I met before. His kiss had that sense of want that I never thought I'd experience this soon. Valenie found her first boyfriend and she was smitten in love however I wasn't this lucky. I was never lucky in love ever. It was always like the guys wanted to get in my pants and nothing else. f*****g pricks.

The shower helped me more than I imagined but the throb was still there. Begrudgingly I got inside the covers and hoped for sleep to come soon.

I was just about to close my eyes when there was a knock on the door before Valenie popped her head inside through the doorway.

"Hey? Sorry did I wake you up?" She sounded excited and as much as I wanted to know what was so exciting I didn't have the energy to.

"Yeah, I just had a long night Val." I rubbed my face and looked away. Even though it was dark but Valenie would easily detect something was not right.

"Umm.. You alright? What happened? Did you guys have fun?"

Just fun? Fun? Valenie I had the bestest kiss of my life. I wanted to say but refrained. She didn't need to know this soon.

"Yeah, it was fun, I just feel so sleepy and tired. Can we talk in the morning?" I asked moving to the other side and making myself comfortable on the bed.

"Yeah, we can talk in the morning. Get some sleep. Good night." She whispered.

"Good night." And I heard the door shut. Closing my eyes I tried to sleep but all I felt were his lips on mine. I could still feel him, smell him even though I showered just ten minutes back.

God. He was taking over my mind. How did I let it get to this? We just kissed and nothing else. Plus it won't be happening again I am sure.
