Kelsea's POV~
"Honey, what do you think about this place?", Elijah asked and I simply had no words to define. We both were sitting on a bench between the tightly packed trees. The cold breeze hit my skin and I finally felt some peace. "Wow, Elijah, this place is just perfect!", I squealed with my voice full of happiness. "Great, that is the smile I wanted to see in your face", he said and I felt peacefully happy for the first time after I moved away from Tristan. Uh, alright not exactly… maybe move it to the second place. Let's not forget about the kiss I shared with Shane. I might be quite pissed and angry at him, but that doesn't change the fact that I liked his kiss so much. To be honest, it was perfect, we both were perfect… well, maybe in my fantasy world… As I inhaled the fresh air around me, I just closed my eyes to feel a bit relaxed but all my mind could think about was Shane. It's been a week since we last spoke. And that i***t, Mr. Shane Booker didn't even bother to talk to me or even look at me after that. I just rolled my eyes at the thought of him. "Honey, what is that running inside your head?", Elijah sounded curious and I just shook my head. Sorry, Elijah, I don't think I can tell you that your i***t brother is messing around in my head. "Uh, I just wanna ask you something but if you don't feel like answering it then you can just skip off", he looked up at me, hesitated. "Just shoot!", I faced him, waiting for him to ask. "Um.. that thing in the hospital…", he started and I sighed. "You don't have to beat around the bush, just ask it, Elijah…", I assured him, who was running his fingers through his hand nervously. "Your baby's daddy isn't in touch with you?", he asked. His question brought a painful smile to my face. Right… in touch? "He actually said, he didn't even touch me…", my voice trembled as a wave of hurt hit me. "Huh? What do you mean?", his sharp eyes were fixed on me waiting for an explanation. The thought of Tristan filled my eyes. "We are not in touch, he actually cheated me and kind of accused my baby of not being his own. So it's just me and my baby…", I said in my painful voice, trying hard to hold back my tears. But damn, that wasn't easy. "He...he just… betrayed me… broke… me… and killed me… alive…", I broke into tears, losing my control. "I'm sorry, I should've brought this up now… Shi*! I ruined your happiness…", his strong arms pulled me in for a hug, and my tears wet his shirt. "Don't cry, honey, it's gonna be fine", He caressed my head, holding me close to his chest.
Elijah's POV~
Her words penetrated my heart like a dagger. Son of a ********, the audacity of him to do such a terrible thing to her. I was burning in rage. All I wanted to do is rip his heart out and chop him into million peices. Moth********! She snuggled into my chest, letting her painful tears out. And, I felt so weak to see her cry before me. Sh**! What should I do now… I just never knew what to do if a girl cries. Not that I have let a girl cry in my chest before. All I do is sleep and dump girls. But with her it was different. Every single thing I felt was different. I just want her to know that I'll be there for her till the end. But, I know this wasn’t right... This is messed up. "I trusted him… and he just didn't even care...", She said in between her sobs with her painful voice. At this moment, I felt so helpless that I couldn't do anything to stop her from crying. Fu** off, Elijah!! You shouldn't have brought that up now, she was finally feeling happy and you just spoiled it. Great, simply great, you wanted her to smile and now she is sobbing. Simply great!!!! "Please honey, don't cry... I feel very bad for asking you about it. I am very sorry… please don't cry…", I tried convincing her with my apologies and it is actually my first time apologizing to some girl that I have known for just weeks. "I am sorry… it's just I couldn't control myself when I think about him", she pulled herself off from my chest, wiping her tears off. I looked at her puffy sea-blue eyes, and for a moment I just got lost in them. I felt so much pain in my heart to see her hurt. She looked at me, sniffing and wiping her tears. I just don't know what came over me, and in the next second, I pulled her close to me and crashed my lips on hers. I was hoping for her to push me off but to my fu****** surprise, she was actually kissing me back. I closed the space between us by her waist and she wrapped her tiny arms around my neck. Damn, this was something I was dreaming of for weeks. Our lips locked and our tongues played in rhythm. No girl I slept with was able to give me this kind of satisfaction Kelsea was giving me now. Even though I know this is wrong, in some way it was perfect, just perfect. I do know tasting her is a sin when my own brother is secretly liking her, but damn, I am so f****** ready to do this sin any number of times, if I get to taste this goddess before me. She pressed herself tightly to my chest as she ran her fingers through my hair. F**k, this woman is driving me crazy. "I'll always be there for you...", my words left my mouth, in between our spicy kiss. I felt her lips curve into a smile and that's when I realized that I am so ready to do anything in this world to make this woman happy.
Kelsea's POV~
Damn, he tastes so good. His tongue explored my lips and so did mine. I know this is wrong, completely wrong after kissing his brother, but I couldn't help it. He tastes so damn good, and he just effortlessly took away my pain and tears in just a kiss, which was a very perfect one.
And suddenly...
Dhuuuuuuuuuuuuuhh!!!!
Thuddddddddd!!!
A loud gunshot filled the air, and we both pulled off from each other, looking startled. "What was that?", I screamed in fear and he pulled me close to his arms. "ELIJAH!!!! BEHIND YOU!!!!!!", I turned to look in the direction of the voice and I was shocked to see Shane standing there, aiming his gun at a dead man lying on the floor. "Shane...", we both gasped to see him there and my eyes jutted out to see a man on the floor, lifeless. What the fu** is going on here? Soon, a lot of Shane's men covered me and there were a lot of other men aiming their guns at me. One moment, my life is quiet and happy and the other moment, my life swaps into a tragic one. I looked up at Elijah who was standing close to me, with fear in my eyes. "Listen, honey. I'll keep you safe no matter what, just stay by my side…", he assured me and I somehow found myself counting on him. In a second, the place was filled with gunshots. Elijah took out his gun from his pants and I couldn't believe he had it in, all this time. Many men approached us, and Elijah along with Shane took their lives in just simple headshots. Men were lying dead around me and I still couldn't believe how I ended up in a situation like this…
In a few minutes, all the other men lay on the floor dead. And I looked around to see Elijah, Shane, and some of their men doing perfectly fine. I heaved a deep sigh and suddenly, I heard Elijah yell my name. "KELSEAAAAAA MOVEEEEE!!!!", but before I could process, I fell to the floor along with Shane. "Ahhhhh!!!", I didn't feel any pain, I was alright. I opened my eyes to see Shane over me, bleeding. "Ahhhhh!!!", he wailed in pain, holding his bleeding arm. Oh no, oh no…. "ARE YOU OKAY????? DON'T DIE PLEASE!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!", I cried aloud in fear but surprisingly he chuckled at me, even when his hand was bleeding badly. "I won't die, baby girl. It's just a bullet in my arm, not in my heart", he said as if it was such a normal thing. But here, my heart pounded a million times, in the fear for this life. "Don't laugh, i***t. You could've died!!!!", I shouted at him, who was lying on my lap as blood ran out of his arm. He looked at me straight into my eyes as if he was trying to read something in my face. "Wh…what????", I asked and his expression changed into a serious one. "You kissed Elijah?", He asked without minding his bleeding hand, and my heart stopped for a moment… He saw us kissing??
