My Unfortunate Girlfriend

37. Finally

A single peck and she pulled away, making me frown.

"What the hell? "

"I don't want to be a show. "

She said fighting a blush and I frowned deeper. The sound of sirens entering the compound woke me up to the present situation and she looked at them. They came out of the car running towards us, but I refused to look away from her.

"Are you okay? "

She was wearing a pained expression with fake tears when I was staring at her blankly.

"They're inside. "

She said and with that, they left. She wiped off the tears and looked back at me with a cold expression.

"Let's get out of here. "

We reached the car and saw Bradley sleeping inside.

"Look who's tired. "

She said and I chuckled. We got inside the car and took a last peek at each other before I started the car. The ride was quiet, which suffocated me. What happened there was suppose to be a mistake, but it's like I wanted it to happen in the first place. She was behaving like it was nothing. She sat beside me silently so I did the same. If the silent treatment is supposed to be my gift, then so be it.

"Who am I to complain? "

"What? "

She asked.

Shit, I said that out loud?

"Nothing."

I couldn't say anything else. She turned to me and I avoided her trying to act cool.

"Why would you complain? "

"Yeah, why would I? "

Yeah, it's nothing..., there is nothing.

She nodded and turned forward again suppressing her laughter.

Yeah, whatever.

No. It's not whatever. This is not going right.

I stopped the car on the side and sighed before turning to her. She was not even bothered.

"I know that was a mistake. But you don't have to do this silent treatment now. Okay? I get it, you didn't mean it. And..., that's a maybe. And I... --"

"You also didn't mean it? "

She asked raising her eyebrows and turned towards me.

"No, I didn't say that. "

"Yeah, okay. "

She said and nodded for me to continue.

"Seriously, you don't have anything to say? "

She shook her head and shrugged like there is nothing serious to talk about.

"I don't think so. "

"Well, I do. Okay, here is the thing. You have a boyfriend who broke up with you and is still following you, and I..., I don't have any. "

"You want a boyfriend? "

"No. I'm not committed. But we are not a..., thing. I know that. And..., this..., what happened today..., was..., it was.... --"

"A mistake? "

"No. It is not. I mean..., I knew that would happen. I knew that you..., I mean..., we would kiss. And it's not... --"

"Stop."

I froze.

"It was not a mistake. I also knew that would happen. And for my relationship, Jackson is no more in my life. What he was doesn't matter. So whatever you feel for me, only stand between us. There is no him in it. And I don't regret anything. If you do, so you should say it now. "

That's it.

I held her face in my hands and kissed her. She smiled and kissed me back.

There was no turn back in it now. No matter where we end up. Together, or not, I like her.

We pulled away and she smiled at me genuinely for the first time. No, the second, if I guess right.

We reached home and Bradley woke up swaying with the break when I stopped the car. We three walked towards the door together.

"Oh, I would love to sleep on something good. Is your bed comfortable? I mean, all these outside tell me there are so many uncomfortable things coming my way. Why do you have this big house, do you even live here? "

Bradley kept talking like she's seeing the outside world for the first time. She talks like this when she's just awake from asleep?

"I think these men are robots. I mean just look at them, no smile, not even anger. Do they eat something? Or they stay awake guarding you people all the time? No, that's not even possible, right? Do you keep them in shifts? Like night and day with different people? Where do they sleep? No, where do they eat? "

I rolled my eyes at the stupid girl as we went inside through the front door.

"B..., we can talk in my room. Save it for later. "

She nodded when Glory said that.

I saw Harry and Tanner sitting in front of the TV as usual and sighed thinking, at least they can save me.

"I think, you should paint the whole house new. This atmo... --"

She stopped talking when she saw my brothers.

Finally.

"Bradley, meet my twin brothers. Harry and Tanner. "

She stood still gaping at them.

"You...? "
