The Storm (2)

Chapter ten

 Melina's pov- 

 I watched as his tongue darted across his bottom lip. My lips were parted and I drew in a silent breath. He had one hand on my waist and the other against the wall. 

 " Come on, don't get all shy on me now." he teased, leaning in. 

 Fuck it.

 I leaned in and brushed my nose against his, our lips inches apart. 

 " I don't get shy, love." I said, using the nickname he loves to call me.

 I brought my hand up to his neck and gently squeezed it, I leaned in like I was about to kiss him but instead I swerved my head and whispered into his ear. 

 " Nice try though." I laughed, pushing him away and running up the stairs.

 " Jesus." I heard him groan as he watched me go up the stairs.

 I quickly made my way into the bathroom and shut the door behind me. 

 What the fuck just happened? No, like actually though, what in the fuck balls was that? 

 I really don't even know how I feel about what just happened. I know I'm confused and slightly turned on. But besides that I'm lost. What the fuck is going on with Silas and Maddox lately? We've always had a very touchy relationship but I never really thought of it as flirty. 

I mean I've just never thought of them like that. They're my best friends, they have been for years. They've always been touchy but lately it's... different. They're acting different and I feel different. 

 I'm not sure if I like this, it's weird. Correction, it's weird that it doesn't feel weird. I mean, is should feel weird, right? 

 I let out an annoyed sigh and stripped out of my clothes. I took a hot shower, scrubbing the sweat off of me. 

 I really need to look into Mai, something just didn't feel right. Maybe it was the stench of her nasty ass perfume, I fucking hate floral perfumes. As disgusting as it was, it seemed oddly familiar. 

 I decided not to dwell on it too much, I'm fucking paranoid. 

 I got out of the shower and dried off. I brushed and flossed my teeth before combing my hair. I changed into one of Silas's t-shirts that was hanging on the back of the door. I always forget to bring my clothes into the bathroom with me and usually just wear whatever's in there and is clean. There wasn't anything I could wear for bottoms, thankfully the t-shirt was able to fully cover me. 

 I turned off the light before opening the door, not wanting to wake River or Silas. I was about to walk into Silas's closet when an arms snaked around my waist and pulled me into them. I let out a small yelp of surprise.

 " You always steal my fucking clothes." he grumbled, his warm breath on my ear, making my stomach flutter. 

 " Don't act like you don't love it." I argued back teasingly. 

 " I'm not denying anything." I could imagine the stupid smirk he had on his face right now.

 I suddenly became all to aware of how close we were. My ass was pressed into his groin and my back was against his chest. When he grabbed me the t-shirt had ridden up a bit, not enough to expose me. But it was really close, one wrong move and I'd be fucked. 

 " Si, I don't have pants on." I laughed out awkwardly. 

 I felt his head move and he looked down, I bopped him on the head.

 " That wasn't an invitation to look." I scolded him.

 He chuckled, " Sorry, love. Can't help myself." I felt my cheeks heat up, thank god it's dark.
