The Night I Met You

6 - As friends.

-Emma

*Saturday*

As I stood back from the guy who was trying to kiss me, I saw that Adam joined us.

His eyes were on mine the whole time and I felt incredibly calm and hot at the same time.

After a few seconds he took his eyes off mine and was talking to Sarah, the blonde girl, and I felt furious. He was smiling at her. That son of a ...

Before I knew it, I launched myself at the guy who was waiting for me to kiss him. Our lips joined and our teeth crushed.

"Uuuh. Go girl!" a manly voice said, but I couldn't understand whose voice it was.

We kissed for less than a minute and I tried to break the kiss, but the guy put his hands around me and stopped me from moving.

"Stop!" I said quietly between my teeth, but he didn't stop. What the hell?

I put my right hand on his neck and grabbed on to his hair and pulled back as hard as I could and he finally surrendered.

"That was good," he said in 'Batman's voice'.

He was smiling and satisfied with himself, which just made me want to puke.

I got up, annoyed, and walked towards the balcony. The living room was full of people drinking, kissing, playing and shouting. I open the balcony door, get out and close it behind me.

"You are heaven. Oooh please, more!" A girl moaned.

Why do I have to listen to girls moan?

I didn't know from which direction it was coming, so I decided to keep my eyes slightly closed and my ears covered.

Thank God for the lights in the garden.

I arrived at the pool and saw that there was a small jacuzzi pool. It must be warm.

I want to get in but it is a bit cold outside.

"Oh my God, yes! Yes! Yeeees!"

I think someone just had a good time.

Maybe I should get inside the jacuzzi. Taking my jacket off, my eyes caught two silhouettes coming my way. I looked in the direction and realised it was Adam and Sarah.They were coming from the other side of the pool. That's weird. I didn't see them come out. As I watched, I noticed that Adam was licking his lips and Sarah was zipping up her pants.

Was she the one moaning?

My heart burned at the thought of them being together. This is so disgusting.

I want to go home.

Putting my jacket on, I ran away towards the door and I think they saw me.

"Emma?" Adam calls me, but I don't stop running.

It was my fault. He saw me kissing another guy. I drove him away.

Will you shut up? You are single and maybe so is he. You don't own him and he doesn't own you. Do you get that, thickhead?

My subconscious is right. I shouldn't care. I never should have come in the first place.

"Emma!" He called me again but I didn't stop. I can't look at him right now. I feel so embarrassed.

I slid the door open and I got inside, but before I could close the door, a big hand was wrapped around my left wrist.

"Hey, I called you two times. Didn't you hear me?"

"No." I said and fakely smiled.

"Want to step outside and talk?"

About what?

"I have to go home. Goodnight." I pulled my hand away and he let me go.

Without looking him in the eye, I disappeared in the crowd.

Do I have my keys? I check the pockets and the keys are in my jeans' right pocket, on my behind.

Shoot. What about the clothes?

Maybe you should text Leyla and ask her to bring them for you.

I could do that. Or I could come back tomorrow and take them myself.

Finally, I opened the front door and left. Going straight to my car without looking back, I take the keys out of my jeans pocket and open the car.

"Did I do something to upset you?" I turned around and looked at the gorgeous man standing in front of me.

"No." I smiled and looked away from him.

"I don't believe you."

"Adam, we don't even know each other. We haven't talked to each other. Why would I be mad at you?" I turned around and looked at him.

Why does he even bother? He already has a date.

"Good point. What if . . . I take you out to dinner sometime so we can get to know each other. As friends."

I want to go out with him, but not just as friends.

Accept the offer. Get to know him. Then you'll know if you are right for each other.

"Sure. As friends."

"Great. Can I get your phone number? You know, in case I wanna ask you out . . ."

I giggled at that.

He also smiled and his perfect white teeth were showing.

"555-0012."

"Hmm. Wait. Yeaaaah. . . I got it."

"What?"

"You know. I registered it on my head."

I tried not to laugh and wished him a good night.

"Are you sure you want to go? Would you like to stay for a little bit more?"

"Sorry, I can't. I have to get up early tomorrow and study for the upcoming test." The second one this month. I still haven't gotten the results of the test I had last Monday, after Claire and Debbie came.

"Good luck." He smiled and stood there, maybe waiting for me to get in the car and drive away?

"Aren't you going back to your date?" I said 'date' as if I was going to puke.

"I don't have a date." He winked at me and bit his lower lip. Oh damn. My loins are so happy to see his lip being bitten by his own teeth.

"Either way, she sounded really satisfied," I said, and closed the door before he could say anything else.

I waved and drove away. I was still feeling bad about him kissing or licking Sarah. It makes me want to rip her arms from her body.

Nevermind. You should worry about getting a phone call or a message from Adam. That's the important part now.

Yes. Yes it is.
