Puppets on a string

EUPHORIA

A few more days have passed since our 'kiss' incident. Samuel and I have been going strong. Our day starts with each other and ends with each other. I have never been this happier. He just feels like a blessing to me. But Vincent has been been a little distant from me. He only talks with me when others are around which is fine with me.

Today was Friday that means I will finally have 2 days off. I was going to the washroom when I saw Vincent pulling Samuel in an empty classroom. I got curious and I decided to go there. I know it's really wrong to eavesdrop but my curiousity got the best of me.

" What happened Vin ? What do you want to talk about that you basically dragged me here?" Samuel asked him

" I will come straight to the point. I think Ashley is using you to make me jealous" Vincent said not looking Samuel straight in the eyes.

What the f*ck? What does he think of me? Is he trying to ruin my relationship? I wanted to barge in and scream at him but I composed myself. I wanted to know how Sam will react.

"What the hell are you talking about Vin? Ash and I are in love. I know her very well. She will never do something like this" Samuel replied almost shouting at him which made my heart swell in pride. This man is amazing.

" I don't think you are understanding me Sam. Do you know Ashley asked me to be his boyfriend just a few days before you guys started dating? I am sure she confessed to you too to make me jealous." Vincent said confidently.

" I know everything okay? She told me everything that happened. She was not even sure about her feelings for you. And she didn't ask you to be his boyfriend. She only confessed to you about her feelings and also said that she knows that you don't feel the same" Samuel replied this time trying his best not to punch Vincent on his face.

"That's the problem Sam. I didn't feel for her then. But after knowing about you, I can't help but feel jealous. I have realized that I really like Ashley and I am a fool to not realize it earlier " Vincent replied pulling his hairs in frustration.

OMG! He can't be serious right now. Vincent feels for me suddenly. I am sure he is just playing games to break Samuel and I apart.

"It's too late bro. She is already in love with me. I trust her alot. And one more thing, I was the one who confessed first. She didn't even say yes at first. It's only this week that she confessed about her feelings too. She is a nice girl." Samuel replied patting his back sympathetically.

Vincent nodded and gave Samuel a hug. I left smiling to myself but feeling angry on Vincent. I know he must have felt awkward and if he had any doubts, he could have talked to me directly. He didn't have to go to Samuel and tried to create misunderstanding between us. But I am happy that Samuel is an understanding person. He stood up for me in front of one of his closest friends. He trusts me and that is enough for him. He just makes me fall in love with him more and more.

Later on the same day, Samuel and I were sitting together in an empty classroom spending some time with each other.

The third floor of our college is almost empty after 4 p.m. and college ends at 5 p.m. Only 2 or 3 classes are held at this time. All of our friends go back home around this time which gives us 1 hour to spend with each other only without any disturbance.

He was sitting on the table while I was standing between his legs with his hands on my waist and my hands gently placed on his chest.

As we both were talking, Samuel told me everything that happened with Vincent that day without leaving a single part which made me fall in love with him more. I felt happy that he doesn't keep secrets from me too. I felt guilty about listening to their conversation and confessed it to him too. He was fine with it.

" I am glad that you told me. I wouldn't have found out if you hadn't told me" He said smiling at me and pecked my cheek.

" Ash, Can I ask you something?" Samuel said and I nodded my head in a yes.

" Do you still have any kind of feelings for Vincent? I know that you love me, but do you still.. ?" I interrupted him in between not letting him continue.

" No babe. I don't feel for him anything anymore. I am in love with you and only you. You have nothing to be insecure about" I replied smiling and pecked his lips a little.

He looked taken aback as I never initiate the kiss or even a hug.

"Good. Cause you are only mine" He said and suddenly pulled me closer with both of his hands on my waist and slammed his lips on mine. He kissed me hungrily like it was the last time. This kiss was not soft at all. It was rough and passionate filled with hunger. He kissed me like he wanted me to know that I am only his. I didn't wait for a second and kissed him back with the same passion telling him that I only belong to him.

He was sucking on my lower lip harshly and then ran his tongue on my lower lip as if trying to find the entrance inside my mouth. When I didn't open my mouth, he bit my lip lightly making me gasp and he plunged his tongue inside my mouth. Both of our tongues started rolling around each other fighting for dominance.

Then, I felt his right hand slowly going towards my left bre*st over my blouse. He gently cupped my mound on his hand and squeezed it a little making me moan out loud. F*ck! I never thought that I will ever make a sound like this. My sounds made him more confident and he started squeezing and massaging my bre*st more.

He backed away from our kiss and started giving me butterfly kisses down my neck making me more aroused. I was wearing an off shoulder blouse which gave him excess to my shoulders and neck. My hands automatically went to his hairs pulling him closer as if they had the mind of their own.

He slowly started sucking my neck not removing his hand from my b**b. I am sure that he left some hickies too. My mind has already gone black. All I could think about was his mouth and his hands on me. My whole body was filled with goosebumps. After sucking and biting my neck, he came back to my lips and started kissing me hungrily again.

I felt some wetness between my legs that I have never felt before. Damn. What is this guy doing to me? How can a kiss affect me this much? He says that I am his first but his actions say something different.

We both were interrupted by my phone ringing. I pulled away a little and picked up my phone hated to be interrupted. His hands were back to my waist and my one hand was on his chest while other held the phone. Mom. The screen of my phone showed. I looked at the time and it was already 5:30. Don't tell me that we have been doing this since last 1 hour. Oh God. I am in a deep sh*t with this guy.

I picked up the call.

" Where are you Ash? You usually come home at 5." I heard her voice.

" Sorry mum. I forgot to inform you that I have an extra class today. I will be there by 6" I lied feeling guilty but hung up the call.

" Extra class huh!" Samuel said smirking at me.

" You know that I can't tell my parents about us Sam" I said. I was already feeling guilty and he was not making it any better.

My parents are very strict with me when it comes to boys. They say that it's too early for me to have a boyfriend. They say that it's fine to have guy friends but I am too young to have a boyfriend. I should focus on my career first and get a nice job. After that I can have a boyfriend. 'You must be atleast in your twenties when you finally can have a boyfriend. You are too naive to be in a relationship. People will take advantage of you.' They say. They love me too much and say that I am too innocent or stupid to have a boyfriend. If they found out that I have a boyfriend, they will be really disappointed in me.

" Sorry love" He said and pulled me again for another kiss which made me forget about my parents again.

I pulled away again after few seconds.

" I need to go home. It's already getting late" I said trying to make him let go of me.

" But I wanted to spend some more time with my girlfriend " He said pouting making me want to kiss him again but I held back.

I just gave him puppy dog eyes and he sighed leaving me. I smiled and pecked his cheek. He smiled back.

I straightened my clothes and picked up my bag and phone.

" Let's go" I said looking at him

" Are you sure you wanna go out like this?" Sam replied with a grin on his face.

" What?" I asked confused and he sighed still grinning. He took my phone out of my hand and opened the front camera and gave it to me.

I gasped looking at my reflection. My lips were swollen and My lipstick was smudged around my lips. One side of my neck was filled with hickies.

"Holy Sh*t" I said making him chuckle.

He took my bag and took out a tissue paper and gave it to me. I quickly wiped the extra lipstick around my lips and threw the tissue in the dustbin.

" But how would you hide the hickies babe" He said smirking teasingly.

I smirked back a little and took out the crunchy out of my pony tail making my medium length hair fall on my back. I ran some fingers through them and put them on my shoulder. My hairs covered all of the hickies. He looked at me amusingly.

"Girls" He muttered under his breath but I heard it

That's right. We girls have solutions of all the problems.

"Let's go now " I said picking up my bag with him following behind shaking his head a little. He went to the bus station and I went to the way back to my home.

A few more days passed with the same schedule. We go to classes and stay with our friends and spend some time alone together after the college in an empty classroom. We talk and we make out.

Things have been going great.
