Hidden Secrets (Jelena)

Chapter 16

A shiver went through my spine, right after the bottle stopped at me. A bunch of questions popped up in my head...

Should I leave?

Who will I have to kiss?

What should I do?

I ignored all of my thoughts. I must stick to the plan I made with Isaac.

"Okay, who do I kiss?" I asked them, trying to remain calm and confident.

Justin seemed surprised by my response; I saw his smile turn into a smirk.

"Justin," Luke and Ryan said at the same time.

I looked at Justin who was leaned against the leather couch, tightly holding the plastic cup with his hair while the other was still loosely around my shoulder.

Justin smirked at me and placed his cup on the table, turning his body to me completely. I stared at him intensely, debating if I was ready to kiss this boy for the third time now, this time with an audience.

I reached for the cup he had placed on the table, seeing that there was a little more than a shot in there. Without thinking much about it, I drank the remaining of the liquid in the cup, my face scrunched up in disgust as the liquor made its way down my throat, slightly burning.

Luke chuckled as I turned my gaze back to Justin, who had now inched his face closer to mine. I took a deep breath, deciding to meet his lips halfway and closing the gap between us.

His lips were soft and taste like pure whiskey. One of his hands wrapped around my waist while the other was tangled into my hair, holding my head still as he kissed me in passion, almost needing me. His hand was squeezing my waist and although I kissed him back, trying to meet the same energy he was giving to me, I could not help but remember my talk with Becky. As her words crept upon me, I pulled away, breaking the intimate kiss.

Justin shot me a confused look after I had suddenly pulled away from his hold, but he recovered within seconds and was now smirking once again.

"That's an obvious 10," Justin winked at me.

After the kiss incident with Justin, I excused myself from the group because I had an urgent need to call Katie. I had thought she would be here, but she isn't. Expect Luke is cheating on her and I could not keep that from her.

I was now standing outside the house, sitting on the porch. There were a few people around me but it was nothing compared to the number of people inside.

She picked up on the third ring.

"Hey Selena!" she answered, cheerfully.

"Hey, do you think you can come to pick me up from the party?" I asked her.

"Why are you leaving so early? Is everything okay?" Her happy tone now changing to a worried one.

"Um, not really. Please come here, there is something you need to see," I told her.

"Be right there," Katie said, and then hung up.

"Okay, I'm coming," She said and then I muttered a bye.

I felt terrible but this was the right thing to do, I had honestly thought that Luke was better than this. He genuinely seemed to care for her, so why would he destroy everything they had to kiss a stranger at a party.

Maybe this was not the first time it happened, who knows what else he has done behind her back. Yet, it was going to be me that breaks this news to her. The pain that all this was going to cause her, she truly did not deserve this.
