Love with a twist

That's enough

Their eyes stayed on each other for a long time and she started feeling weak by his intense gaze. Moreover, he was half-n***d. She couldn’t control her feelings with the Cinema before her.

And he was so intimidated by her look. When he touched her hands seconds ago, something heated in him. An emotion he has never felt with other girls. It was nothing like the feeling of having s*x with her but a feeling that regenerated from his heart.

His heart bumped faster than normal as he went on piecing into her stare. He felt himself in Paradise due to the peaceful atmosphere.

Nothing could word-for-word explain the feelings transpiring within him at that moment.

“I should head home” she broke the silence.

He didn’t completely understand what she meant since he was still in a trance until she woke up to replace the things she used.

He wanted to sit upright but she hurriedly came and stopped him “You’re not healed yet”

He chuckled then persistently sat upright with a little struggle. She became amazed at how strong he endured the pains of digging out the bullet from his flesh then closing his wound with a hot knife and now getting up looking stronger.

He looked at her “You’re going nowhere”

She furrowed her brows chuckling “There’s no way I’m staying here. My dad will kill me”

“Then he’ll have to kill me first” he let out and she shrugged

“Because I won’t let you leave this house this night. But if you insist on leaving then I would drive you home” he continued

“No way! You have to take along rest” she denied

“Then you must sleepover”

They stared at each other once again before she looked at his bed then back to him.

“Alright… I’ll just sleep on the couch then”

“Nope. You’re taking bed” he disagreed instantly

“Of course not! I would never let you sleep on the couch while I lay in bed. That’s bullshit!” she exclaimed sitting next to him

“Get up!” he ordered. She gave him a confused look and he repeated: “I said get up!!”

She rose rapidly and postured like a pillar.

“Now listen. I don’t have a lady so, I recommend you wear my sweater over there and it sucks to keep yourself warm. If you’re still not warm enough, you could double as many as you want, from inside my closet. Don’t forget to use the cover to tie yourself up. I don’t want you sick overnight” he instructed then laid on the couch peacefully shutting his eyes.

She stood there staring at him in concern before he peeped at her.

“What are you waiting for?”

She blinked severally then walked towards his closet, removed a sweater, and sucks and undressed facing the wall. The distance between both of them was far, again he wasn’t facing her direction so, she didn’t feel weird undressing there.

When she was done, she turned around, moving towards his bed. She held a blanket and moved towards him with it. Arriving at his side, she positioned it over him.

He smiled sweetly however, she didn’t return it as she hurriedly went to bed.

“Good night crazy girl”

“Don’t call me that!” she yelled and he giggled

“Crazy…girl,” he recited

She threw a pillow at him “Arggh” he groaned as though it touched his wound.

She rushed towards her in fear. Just when she landed to condone, he laughed.

“Arggh” he groaned again. But this time it was real because he tried laughing hard.

She thought he was still teasing her so, she got angrier. She didn’t know how to revenge because she may likely hurt him if she plays stupidly so, she returned to bed quietly.

“Goodnight princess,” he said finally when she was already wrapped in bed.

She pretended she was already asleep but he knew she wasn’t.

He just smiled to himself and shut his eyes drifting to sleep.

...

Bridget has been searching for Xena and Amanda for an hour now so she decided to exit the party leaving just a text to them.

Just when she stepped outside, she saw Dilan standing impatiently with some dudes. She knew he was with Xena a while ago but now she is nowhere to be found. Although she sent messages to them already, she, however, wanted to know where her friend was. At least, it takes just seconds to ask.

She walked towards him when he got a ring. He answered the call hesitantly while awkwardly stood there for some time.

"s**t!" He cursed then dropped his phone inside his jeans.

Suddenly his eyes landed on a patient Bridget.

"What do you want?" He questioned

"Xena. Where is she?"

"I'm not her keeper and I don't know where she is"

"But I left both of you together. How come you don't know where she is?"

He stood inches away from her "I would leave now if I were you. I told you I don't know where she is"

"I knew you weren't good for her. But if anything bad happens to her, you will pay"

"Why would you think something bad will happen to her? She's Xena and she is grown up. She can take care of herself. You should worry about yourself. And for a better acknowledgment, you could ask the guy she always hooks up with"

She always hooks up with? Who could that be?

"You better be saying something relevant" Bridget lets out then leaves their presence back to the party.

I can believe she left her phone with me and Amanda's number is unavailable.

She sighs going towards the poolside behind the front dancing hall. Just when she sends her head out, her sights fall to Roy and Xena sinking into one another's gaze.

She matches further then clears her throat loud enough for them to acknowledge her presence. However, they don't.

She sighed heavily then said "So this is where both of you have been hiding"

Xena blinks her thoughts landing to the present as she looks past Roy to a grinding Bridget.

"You scared me" Xena uttered sarcastically holding her chest.

"I know right. When I catch you hooking up with our handsome Newbie"

Roy turns to face her "Nice to meet you. I'm Bridget" she introduced forwarding her hand

He received "I'm Roy" she smiles while Xena chews her mouth impatient with what Bridget was doing.

"She told me a lot-"

Xena cuts "Alright. That's enough" dragging Bridget away from Roy
