CHASING SAPPHIRE🔞

Chapter eighteen: Seductress

~Vincent~

So like, I just told Cindy and Ryan what's going on between Sapph and I and Cindy is so not happy.

"I'm sorry Vincent, but that girl is bad news, don't you get it? You're just going end up getting hurt!" Cindy yells, causing some heads to turn to her. Ryan holds her hand.

"Strawberry calm down" he says and kisses her shoulder, putting her on his lap. She sighs and closes her eyes for a moment.

"I-I'm sorry Vince, it's your life, not mine. But you should know that I only want what's best for you. Yes, i hate her guts, because of some shit that happened on out first encounter, but besides that, she just doesn't look like someone who is into commitment"

"I know that. She told me that already, and that's it, she warned, I'm the one putting myself at risk, thinking I can change her mind and I will"

"Fine! Whatever rocks your boat" She says, stands and leaves. Ryan stands too.

"It's good man, she'll calm down later. To be honest, she's kinda right, but if you trust your instincts and this is what you want, to take the risk, then I'm with you man"

"Thanks a lot" I breathe out and he smiles.

"Anything for you" he says and walks out to find Cindy. I breathe in and out about six times, stand and leave too.

After a while, I decide to go to Sapphire's apartment. I open the door and get in.

"Sapph?" I call, walking down to her room. She comes out.

"Hey" she breathes out.

"Hey"

"Yester-" we start at the same time.

"You go first"

"No. You can go first" I counter and she nods.

"Yesterday, I wasn't really in a good mood and I guess, I just poured it all out on you. I'm sorry"

"You weren't in a good mood? Are you sure that's why? Cause it seemed to me like you hated the fact that I helped Rose" she tenses at the mention of her name and I scrunch my eyebrows in confusion.

"I-"

"-Saphie sweetie. Mama and papa are here!" A voice says from the door and I freeze.

"D-do I have to hide?" I whisper and she contemplates then shakes her head.

"No. It's fine" I don't get it, is she planning to introduce?...no, this is not how I was planning to meet them first.

"Mum" she groans "I said to call whenever you're coming" she says and her mum, a petite lady, dressed fancy in red ignores her and drops all sort of food on the table, a man, I'm assuming is her dad, dropping some more.

"Now now, Where's the fun in that? It's better to catch you unaware-ahah. And who is this young man young lady?" Her mum asks, but I remain calm when I see the excitement in her eyes.

"Don't tell me my sweetie has finally gotten herself another boyfriend!" She squeals. Another?

"Mum!" Sapphire groans, a bright red hue staining her cheeks.

"No no, not a boyfriend. Sweetie, I can't have you-"

"-Dad, he's not my boyfriend okay? He's just a friend who came to hang out" a friend.

"Just the two of you? Is that appropriate? I mean-"

"-Can we eat? I'm starving" She interrupts him again, pulling out a chair and opening all the containers.

"Yum!"

"Sweetie, let's go get plates and cups, stand up!" Her mum and says and drags her to the kitchen.

The silence between her dad and I is very unnerving.

"Hey...sir. Uh, Mr Jennings"

"What's your name?" He asks, staring at me, the dare present in his eyes, so I match up, looking at him straight in the eyes.

"Vincent Cali." The surprise is evident.

"Hm. And you go to my Cookie's school, no?"

"Yes sir"

"What relationship do you both have?"

"We're friends sir"

"Why do you-"

"-Honey what is this? Twenty questions? Leave the poor boy alone, will ya?" Her mum interrupts as they come in with plates and cups, setting the table. We sit and start eating. After a while of silence, Sapph breaks it.

"Sooo. Why'd you guys suddenly decide to visit?" Sapph asks, food in her mouth, her mum slaps her arm and glares at her, she coughs and drinks water.

"What? I need to know"

"Not that silly! Do not talk with food in your mouth" her mum snaps and she turns red.

"Oh. Sorry" she looks and me and I give her a small smile, she smiles back and then continues eating like nothing just happened.

"Ah ah ah, I saw that little exchange. You can't tell me there is nothing going on with you two. Nah nah nah, mama has her instincts"

"Moom. Okay, we're done eating. It's time to go" Sapphire says, standing up and clearing the plates, loading the dishwasher.

"B-but we just got here" her mum whines and She checks her wristwatch

"Yeah. An hour ago" she rolls her eyes, back up.

"But-"

"-Honey, we have to leave. I have an online conference by 7"

"Who the hell  has a conference at night?" Sapphire asks

"Your father, that's who" her mum replies and they stand.

"Cookie, I hope you're studying hard. You remember my condition for you to stay in the-"

"-yeah! I mean, yeah, yeah I am studying hard."

"Okay, that's good. Honey, I'll wait for you in the car, don't stay too long okay?"he pecks her mum on the lips and walks out of the apartment.

Sapphire goes into the kitchen, while I walk her mum to the door.

"Sweetie, take care of my daughter okay. I'm not blind. I can see the way you look at her and vise versa. Whatever's going on between you too, I just hope it's legal-"

"-Okay that's it mum, out you go, out out. Byee love you muah" She pushes her out the door and sighs as she closes the door.

"I'm fucking nineteen years old!" She groans and then looks at me. "You come with me" She holds me hand and drags me to her bedroom. She pushes me on bed to lay flat on my back and straddles me, her lips latching to the skin of my neck immediately.

"Sapphire..." I put my hand on her arms to push her back, we need to talk..

"We need to talk, I know. I just- I want you in the worst way, your taste, scent and feel of your skin next to mine, your warmth, your fingers wrapped around the curves of mine, the taste of your kiss, I need you" I groan, my little buddy begging for release as she grinds on me.

"S-sapph.." it's too much, her words are going to make me come undone, we have to talk.

"I don't want sex, I want the things that lead to it. The slow kissing, then the passionate kissing, then the pulling closer and the neck kisses..." she does it all, following her words, my breath hitches. "...the grabbing, biting, heavy breathing, grinding, the pauses while you catch your breath, feeling each other. Oh god, then sex" she traps my lips and I groan, flipping us around

How the hell can I say no to that?
