Sinful addiction

Chapter 4

It took me several minutes to comprehend what was actually happening but then it also didn't take me long to figure out he was actually drunk. A huge chunk disappointment fell into the pit of my stomach.

"Noah, just stop it.  You are drunk," I pushed him easily off me, watching him stumble a few paces away from me.

"Am not," he attempted to touch my cheeks but his hand fell subtly to my shoulder instead, his whole body saying.

"Go to your girlfriend," as I said the word girlfriend, I couldn't ignore the stinging pain suddenly clogging my chest.

"But I want you," For a moment the world stopped spinning but as the reality of his drunkenness set in, I had to readjust my thinking.

"You are drunk Noah and you need to leave," I walked inside slamming the door behind me before leaning on it.

A huge sigh left my lips just as I felt his weight on the other side of the door.

"Please open up. I really miss you babe," he slurred.

Babe, just what he loved to call me back when we were dating. Tears slid down my cheeks, my eyes shut.

"I swear I love you. I never wanted to leave you even for a minute but he made me do it," My eyes flew open as I flung the door open, Noah tottering inside.

"Who made you do what Noah?" I questioned but he stared at me blankly.

"What?"

"You said he made you do it. Who made you do what Noah? At least you owe me that much," I spat but he was way more drunk than I had estimated.

He surged forward, eyes shut and if I hadn't been standing in front of him, he would have plummeted on the hard floor face first.

"Dammit!" I cussed pulling his heavy build on the couch.

I pulled my duvet over his form, letting myself drink on his hotness. His rather long lashes warped his cheeks magnificently. I sighed looking at the one man I had loved more than anything and would probably love till the day I draw my last breath.

I switched off the lights, closed the door behind and choosing to sit on the hood of the car. Several thoughts crossed my mind. What did he mean by all that? Who was this he?

"You know I figured you'd be asleep by now,"I smiled at the voice that was now beginning to grow familiar.

"I would have said the same about you," I smiled in the dark as his footsteps stopped near me.

"So what are you doing out here now?"He asked stopping near me.

"Just to pass time," I shrugged.

"Well, Hazel. You wanna take a walk?"

"Are you being serious right now? I don't even know you," I argued.

"I'm actually still surprised by that. I always counted you as one sharp person not that you are not. You are smart,"

"Cut the chase. How are you so sure that I'm supposed to know you?" I asked.

"Because I've been near you for a long time. Sure I rarely talk but I thought you could tell by now who I'm," His words got me thinking.

He knew my name, shared Human Physiology class with me, rarely talked, has been near me for a quite a long time... My eyes widened before I could finish the thought.

"Kym? It can't be," I muttered softly.

"Now that you know, can we take a walk?"

I merely grunted in response as I stepped off the hook of the car. I did not ask a question as we began walking towards the gravelly road. There were still a few drunken students stumbling out of Dylan's house.

"You could have been enjoying yourself at Dylan's. Why waste your time with me?"I asked suddenly.

"Because you were once one of us and I'd prefer your company rather than that of some drunk girl," by now the street lights were shining on him.

"I'm a nobody now Kym so stop feeling pity for me. I cheated on Noah and the whole university abhors me for it in case you forgot," I reminded him. I hated pity more than anything because when I needed sympathy no one gave it to me.

"I'm not feeling any pity for you Hazel. I just want us to be friends, is that too much to ask?" He asked.

"Friends? You must be really out of your mind. After my parents died and I cheated on Noah, all of you abandoned me. None of you were ready to forgive me or at least a hi to me," I stopped realising for the first time I was pouring my frustrations on someone. Tears blinded my sight but I angrily brushed them away.

"Have you ever thought maybe staying away from you is actually the best decision Noah had ever made in his entire life?" His sharp tone took me by surprise.

"How is letting me be treated like crap the best decision?"

"Because if he hadn't then he would never have been able to protect you in the first place!"

"What?" I muttered.

"Everything Noah has ever done was to protect your bloody ass even after you betrayed his trust," his voice had dropped dangerously to a low voice.

"Why would I need protection? And from who?" I questioned.

"Look, I have already talked more than I should. Maybe a walk was a bad idea,"

"Are you being serious right now? You f*****g said I needed protection and you are just going to pretend like that was nothing?"

"Just f*****g let it go,"He shouted clearly frustrated.

"Wow, first Noah and now you," I muttered.

"Noah? What did he say?"

"Why should I tell you when you won't say a thing to me?"

"Fine. Goodnight Hazel or is it good morning now?" He was suddenly guarded.

"It's five in the morning. I should probably get back to the apartment before Noah wakes up, " I stated turning around.

"Wait, Noah is in your apartment? You need to get him out of there right now," He sounded almost terrified.

"Why?"

"Because if he finds out, both your lives will be in danger," he said, grabbing my arm literally dragging me back to the direction of my apartment.

What was the f**k was going on?
