Velvet Scar

Apology

Zelda’s POV

Orion had his forehead pressed against mine and was looking in the eye. At that moment I couldn’t fight the thoughts that were going through my head. Orion softly brushed his lips against me, slowly, tantalizing all the particles in my body. I needed more, so I pushed my lips harder against his. He pressed my back against the wall and I wrapped my legs around his waist. I start gyrate against his hard erection that was pressed near my entrance. He moaned and I took this opportunity to delve my tongue inside his mouth. His tongues were slowly caressing my tongue. It was soft and fiery at the same time. We both pulled apart panting, he pressed his forehead against mine and stared at me. Lust and desire was evident in his eyes.

I groaned shamelessly when Orion warm lips touched my oversensitive skin on my neck. Orion start kiss my neck. He left sloppy, wet kisses from my jawline to the base of my neck, making me lose myself in a myriad of sensation. I couldn’t help but moan when he bit and licked my earlobe. I unconsciously tilted my head to give him better access. He was making feel even more aroused. He whispered softly in my ears, his hot breath fanning my neck, sending a delicious shiver down my spine:

"El, wake up or you will be late for school" he said with dad’s voice.

What! What!

My eyes flutterred open in surprise, there was my dad standing near my bedroom’s door. I was hot and bothered about the nocturnal emission of my salacious desire. I feel like a wanton woman, enjoying the kiss of a man that I barely know. I got up feeling disgruntled and very much aroused. My dad cleared his throat and I peered at him through my bangs and he said:

" Come downstairs, I need to talk to you."

"Sure, just let me get ready"

"Okay. Be quick you don;t have much time left before school starts"

I ran to my bathroom and saw that I blushing so hard that I created a new shade of red. I got ready and went downstairs, dad was waiting for me in one of the breakfast bar stool and he had already set the plates. Seeing this scene made my heart swell in happiness. It was the first time in two years that we were going to have breakfast together.

I placed myself besides my dad and he greeted me like the good old days:

" Goodmorning dear, did you sleep well last night?

He was just asking a general question but I blushed and stammered an answer : "Ye..ye...yes vvvery well dad"

He seemed bashful but then said: " El I have something very important to ask you dear." He paused, waitng for my reaction and continued when I gave him the green signal.

"Look Zelda I know I have not been the best dad all these time. I had forgotten the duty that a father has. I forgot that I had a little girl to care for and to protect. I know that I have a person that you can rely on and a place to call home. I became so egoist that I saw only my pain, I forgot that even you lost your mom, your best friend. Yesterday when I saw your tear strained face, I remembered that I did not fulfill any duty that a father should. El I decided that if you give me a second chance to redeem my mistake, then can we go back to the father-daughter duo that we used tobe."

Hearing his sincerity, I burst into tears and hugged him tightly. His voiced was muffled by my hair when he said "I’m sorry dear. I’m really am." We both hugged each other for nearly ten minuted when they blaring of his phone startled us apart. Due to an emergency at his work, dad had to leave earlier. He dropped me at the bus stop.

I was really happy because I could finally feel that I have a place to go back to. Both dad and I were walking together toward the same destination and we both acknowledged the fact that we needed each other to go through this journey.

I decided to steer clear of Orion’s path, I did not want to face him until I clear my head. He was making a mess of my lfeelings and my head. I was walking toward my locker when I heard Orion calling out my name. I ignored him and started to walk faster. I tried to blend in the crowd of students. I did not how to face him after the dream that I had and after sharing my first kiss with him. He grabbed my hand from behind and and pulled me out of the crowd, few heads turned around but he ignored them.

" Why are you ignoring me?" he asked.

I’m ignoring you because you make feel aroused. I’m ignoring you because your simple touch can ignite a fire of carnal desire inside of me.

"I’m not ignoring you. I just did not hear you." I said firmly.

"Okay so you are not ignoring me right? Then why did you start walking faster when I started to call you out"

"I was running late" Another lame excuse. He sighed and rather begrudgingly did not argue. I tried to pry my hand free but he strengthen his hold on my hand and started to run, dragging me along. I was breathless when we reached the locker. My hand felt somewhat cold when he left it. There was a strange warmth that had spread throughout my body when he had held my hand and I peculiarly was contented.

Fortunately or unfortunately, we both had all of our class together today. I couldn’t concentrate at all in all the classes because I felt his steady gaze on me which made me feel hot. In our last class I couldn’t help but turn around to look at him, only to catch him already looking at me. I blushed beetroot red.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turned around, Zoey handed me a piece of paper. I took the note and it said:

" Wait for me after school please. We need to talk

Orion"

I turned around to look at him and my started to race when he winked at me and his dazzling smile beguiled me. As I did not want to attract the attention of his ’fangirl’, I waited for him in my seat itself. He came by my side and started talking without even giving me the chance to greet him.

" Look Zelda, if you are angry about yesterday then I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t have kissed you without your permission. I’m sorry. Please forgive me and don’t avoid or ignore me" he said all of that in one breath. I felt dejected and disappointed. I did not want my first kiss to be considered a mistake.

He was at the class’ door when he turned around and said

"Oh I almost forgot to tell you. Yesterday when you left the class Mr Schulte gave us a project work and you are my project partner. I’m coming to your house tonight"
