Opposites

Chapter Seventeen

Harriett and I arrived to the frat house and of course it was a Friday night, party night. It was getting late, so people started to depart but there was still loads of drunken bodies. I followed Harriett through the house, up the stairs and to Hero's room. I could hardly hear myself think, let alone hear what Harriett was trying to say to me whilst she had her back facing me. Harriett flung Hero's bedroom door open to reveal Hero sitting on his bed with a bottle of Jack Daniels in his hand.

"Hero!" Harriett shouted over the music to try and get her brothers attention.

Hero looked in our direction and his features turned angry as soon as he saw me standing in the doorway. "What is she doing here?"

"All you've been saying is how you wanted Rose here," Harriett answered. I started to think that coming over was a bad idea.

Hero turned away and his attention was soon back on drinking the bottle. Harriett stormed over to her brother and snatched the liquor from his hand causing Hero to stand up, towering over his twin. Harriett didn't back down or step away, even with Hero looking furious that she'd taken his drink.

"Give it back," Hero snarled through gritted teeth.

"Grow up. What happened to I'm never drinking?" Harriett shot back.

"People change."

"Oh Hero, you are making me very disappointed. What would mum say?" Harriett's tone got softer as she looked at her brother with disapproving eyes. Hero bowed his head in shame. "Rose is here. Like you wanted," Harriett stated before turning and walking back out the door down to the party.

I stood in the doorway looking at Hero as he walked back over to his bed and slumped down. "Close the door."

I stepped more into the room and closed the door. I felt uncomfortable, standing in Hero's room as he didn't seem like he wanted me here. He didn't look at me, he didn't acknowledge me.

"Why are you here?" Hero slurs.

"Harriett said you was calling for me," I answered back slowly making my way to his bed.

"Why do you bother? I'm broken, I'm a mess. I'm no good, I'm better of drunken and alone like my dad," Hero responds, not once looking at me.

"Why do I bother? Because down by the lake, I felt something for you, that I have never felt for anyone before, not even Luke," I admit in the hopes it makes him feel better and he finally looks at me.

Hero raised his head and his eyes met mine, before I knew what I was doing I ran to him and tackled him to the bed locking my lips with his. He must of been surprised as it took a few seconds for him to react and start kissing me back. I straddled him as he laid on the bed, he placed his hands on to my tiny perky bum, my hands wandered up his top just so I could touch his tanned abs. Hero flipped us over, without warning, so I was on bottom. As he pressed his body against mine, I could feel his bulge through his jeans. It all made me nervous, but very excited. I had no idea what I should do, but what I did know is that I just wanted to touch him, all of him.

Hero started kissing along my jawline and down my neck, I could feel the butterflies fluttering in my stomach, I could feel my panties getting wetter and wetter by every touch from Hero. His hands travelled down my side as he continued to kiss my neck, my hands wandered to his hair and I gave it a slight pull, to which he groaned into my neck.

This was the moment I knew I was ready. Ready to give myself to someone. I was always waiting for the right one, which I thought was Luke. Hero may not be the right one, but in this moment, I knew I wanted to give him this.

Hero pulled away from my neck and his hands continued to wondering around my body. He looked me dead in the eye and stated: "Is this too much?"

A lump formed in my throat and I was unable to utter a word so I just shook my head in response. Hero understood and attached his lips to mine again. The world around us disappeared and all I could think about was how perfect we connected. Yes, we may have had our fair share of not getting on and disliking one another, but Hero is a very misunderstood person, and all he needs really is someone to care for him, and not just to use him for sex or eye candy. My understanding of Hero is that he used girls for sex because he felt broken and that was his way of coping and dealing with feelings.

Hero ran his hands all the way down to the top of my jeans and I could feel his finger trace along the top. I started to shake at his touch, I could not believe someone could do this to me, make me feel such things. With one hand, he undid the button to my jeans and slid the zipper down revealing part of my red lace underwear. His lips detached from mine, he looked me square in the eye and moved downwards, whilst still holding eye contact, he moved my top up and kissed my naked stomach, sending chills through my whole body. He moved downwards and as he got to my the top of my jeans both his hands yanked them down, panties following. My whole lady area was revealed to another for the first time, I felt ashamed, embarrassed and frightened. Hero didn't seem to care in the slightest, after all he has seen so many, this must of felt like just another time to him.

Within that moment, my fear got the better of me and I grabbed my panties and jeans and pulled them back up swiftly to hide my area from Hero. He shot back of the end of the bed looking hurt. He stared at me, he must of been confused to why I've hidden myself from him, and when I said it was okay, to them quickly change my mind. The only conclusion I could come to was that I was scared and I didn't want to be just another number.

"Did I do something wrong?" He asked standing at the end of the bed looking at me as I was sitting up with my knees to my stomach.

"I-I - " I started. 

"Don't be scared," He interrupted. His British accent was the softest and most sincere I had ever heard it.

"I'm sorry," I whispered.

"Don't be, we have time. Maybe watch a film?" He suggested. This was the most nicest moment I could ever have imagined, he was being so cool about it. Honestly, I thought he may of lost control and would start shouting and screaming about me not wanting to have sex with him.

Hero moved back over to me, grabbed the remote and turned his TV on and started to search through Netflix as we laid beside each other. We both bickered about what to watch, but settled on a good comedy, Mike and Dave Needs Wedding dates. Hero moved closer to me and put his arm around my shoulder as I laid my head on his chest, taking in the sweet scent of his cologne. It was comforting, nice and relaxing. I wrapped my arm around him and he gave me a slight squeeze before kissing me on the forehead and that's where we stayed for the rest of the night.
