My Boyfriend's Brother

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Without even realizing it, I felt his lips on mine.

Sparks. Fireworks. I felt 'em.

Something inside me ignited and I felt a fiery passion I never felt with anyone. Not even Jake who I was supposedly in love with.

My whole world stopped and fell silent. All I could hear was James' name echoing in my mind in a whisper. Everything felt so...Right.

He pulled away but stayed close. I could feel his warm breath on my lips.

"W-why did you stop?" I asked, barely audible. I was shocked he heard me over the rain. He didn't say anything. Instead, he moved his hand my neck and pulled me in and kissed me with so much passion, so much intensity, so much... Desire. I ran my fingers through his soaking wet hair, trying to feel every strand that grew. He seemed so perfect in this moment. Everything seemed so perfect in this moment. I never wanted it to end.

We both pulled away and were breathing heavy. I slowly opened my eyes and saw that James was looking down at me with a small smile and I couldn't help but smile either. But my smile quickly vanished when I remembered Jake and what I was doing and who James was to me. He was my boyfriends brother.

I released my grip on him and took a step back.

"Daniella? W-whats wrong?" James asked and held my hand.

"I just kissed my boyfriend's brother." I said quietly and pulled my hand away from James'. I couldn't be here anymore. "I gotto go." I said as I went to open my car door but was stopped my James holding my hand and stopping me.

"Daniella please no." James said and turned me around to face him but I kept my head low so I couldn't see his hazel eyes which always got me hypnotized.

"James your-"

"I know Im your boyfriends brother. But Daniella, I cant help myself when Im around you. Since that moment I saw you there was something there. I felt something different. I didn't what it was until now. I L-"

"Dont say it. Please just dont." I said as I pulled my hand away from his and stepped back. I watched his face drop and I heard his heart break. Because of me. I hated seeing him like this and I knew there was nothing I could say that would make it better, so I just got in my car and drove away. I looked in the rear view mirror as I drove away and I watched James' silhouette fade as I got further and further away.

As soon as I got home and walked through the front door, I was greeted by a big hug from Jake. I didn't hug back. I felt too guilty.

"Im sorry I overreacted." He said as he pulled away.

"Its okay. Im sorry too." I said quietly. "Um, Im gonna go have a shower." I said and walked up stairs to our bathroom. Once I got in the warm shower, my emotions finally caught up to me and cried. I cried because I cheated on Jake. I cried because of the guilt... I cried because Jake wasn't James and never will be.

My tears stopped when I replayed the memory of what happened. The way his eyes locked with mine, the way his lips moved perfectly in sync with mine. I remembered the sparks that I never felt with Jake.

Why did I have to walk away?

"Daniella?" Jake said softly through the door. "You've been in there for a while. Everything okay?"

"Yeah. I'll be out in a minute." I said. I turned the shower off and wrapped a towel around me and walked to our bedroom where Jake was sat on the bed on his laptop. When he saw me walk in, he shut his laptop and put it on the bedside table.

"Are you still mad at me?" He asked and walked over to me.

"No. I forgave you and you forgave me remember?" I said. I realized I wasn't sounding myself, but I just wasn't in the mood to play nice.

"Okay." He said and held my waist and pulled me in closer. "I was thinking, seeing as neither of us have to get up early tomorrow we could..." He trailed off and then planted a deep kiss on my lips. I tried to kiss back with as much enthusiasm as him, but I just couldn't. He picked me up and wrapped my legs around his waist before lying me on the bed and crawling on top.

But the guilt took over.

"James and I kissed." I blurted out.
