Chemistry Of Lust

CHAPTER 17

*DEREK'S POV*

I feel like I and Ollie have clicked a bit
this time. Even though we had Candy as a common best friend, we never hung out much and I don't know the reason for that. I wish we had clicked earlier but well everything happens when it is supposed to.

She is sitting beside me on the couch as we all three watch a comedy movie. Her arm constantly touches my thigh, which I think might be deliberate. If I say I don't like it then I would be totally lying. Candy, who is sitting on the other side of Ollie, passes me look and looks between me and Ollie.

She mouths the words from behind Ollie, 'You and her, perfect.' She points at us. I lightly pinch her arm but she just winks. I roll my eyes at her but smile internally and continue to watch the movie.

"Oh, I love this movie." Ollie says as she laugh and snorts.

"Well, it was my choice so it's obvious that it's good," I say and she looks at me and smirks.

"Too proud of yourself, aren't ya?" Ollie asks raising her eyebrows at me. God, her sly look is intimidatingly hot.

"Well it's okay to be proud of great things, isn't it?"

She eyes me before replying, "If that is true then you should be proud of Charlotte or me, not yourself."

I have never been this dumbfounded by any comment. I would usually have a perfect reply for a sentence like this but her beauty is stopping me from thinking. Her straight auburn hair flowing till her waist, her hazel eyes staring back at me, her petite body with the perfect posture which suggests she might be an athlete or a dancer.

"You are lucky you are Candy's best friend or..."

She comes closer and interrupts me, "Or what?"

"Or else you wouldn't be able to get away with that so easily." I say going in even closer to her.

"Gosh guys, go upstairs and take a left, it's Derek's room, get in there and break the bed I don't care but don't do this here." Candy gets up and exclaim with disgust as her hands cover her eyes.

"Now you know how it feels," I laugh at Charlotte's disgusted look and taunt her.

"Ugh, you would be so dead if it weren't Ollie."

"Too bad it is." Ollie says and laughs. Oh, that voice itself made me hard as rock tenting my pants.

"Now one of you leave before I puke." Candy folds her arms and looks away.

"Jeez, I will go. Would you like to come to 'The Paradise' Derek? That's what I call my bed by the way." Ollie says and Candy kicks her leg lightly. Ollie and I burst into laughter.

"Bye babe. Take care. And Derek, text me." She leaves before waiting for a reply.

"You guys are so gross. You just met and are already gross. Is that how I and Edward look?" She sighs and settles down on the couch.

"Yes you guys are even worse," I laugh as I reply and settle down beside her.

"I am flattered."

"Of course you are," She smiles and lays her legs on my lap.

"Can you please rub my feet? They hurt badly." I don't reply but I just start rubbing her feet, which are swollen.

"Do you feel alright? Your feet are swollen." I ask as I continue to gently rub her feet.

"Yes, I am okay. I am just exhausted. I couldn't sleep well in that nasty bed. It was gross as fuck." I laugh at her high standards.

"It's okay, sleep now," She closes her eyes and murmur, "Uh huh hmm."
