Fool me

Chapter 16- Takes one to know one

Tessa POV
(Unedited)

Before I knew it, Joey's lips crashed onto mine. I stood there shocked for several moments, comprehending what just happened. Joey Henderson was kissing me.

Just as Joey was about to pull away, I pressed my lips to his.

Joey was taken aback by this but quickly recovered and pulled me into his chest, kissing me with the same amount of passion when he first smashed his plump lips onto mine.

My fingers intertwined with his soft hair as he slid his hands down and gripped onto my waist tightly sending shivers down my spine.

I couldn't seem to ignore the little voice that spoke at the back of my mind. It was telling me that kissing Joey is wrong.

But how can it be wrong when it feels so right?

Then it hit me like a ton of bricks.
Michael.

As soon as I came to realize this, I shoved Joey away.

"No!" I shouted.

Joeys eyes flashed of confusion and hurt. "No?"

"You shouldn't have kissed me" I swallowed, feeling absolutely guilty. "Why not?" He challenged as he took a step forward and I naturally took a step back.

"Because...I-i-i" I let out a gasp when my back hit the wall. Joey was inches away from my face and his hands rested on either side of my face.

"Do keep in mind Tessa, you did tell me to make you shut up" he whispered. "And also keep in mind, that you kissed me back." He placed a loose piece of strand behind my ear; making the breath in my throat hitch.

"But it was a stupid mistake!" I blurted, instantly regretting it.

Silence.

I hung my head, looking down at my shoes. "I...kissed Michael" I said quietly.

Joey stared at me with an unreadable expression before pushing himself of the wall.

"Of course you did" he let out a dry humorless laugh. "Why wouldn't you?"

"Joey wai-" I attempted to grab his hand but he snatched it out of reach.

"No Tessa!" He snapped causing my hand to fall to my side.

"You know what is funny about all of this?" He shook his head, showing that clearly what he was about to say was far from funny.

"You hate the fact that I play with girls' feelings and that I'm the player" he took a step closer to me and shoved his hands into his denim pockets.

"But guess what Tessa?" He leaned forward and dropped his voice to a whisper for effect.

"You're not as naive as you lead people to think."

"You're just as bad as me" he sneered. With that said, he spun on his heels and slammed the door causing me to flinch at the sudden slam.

I stood there replying what had just happened and allowed the silence to consume me.

Joey kissed me.

I kissed Joey.

I actually kissed him.

What is wrong with me?

I feel guilty because I have kissed two different guys within a difference of a few hours only. This was not me. What on earth was I thinking?!

I am mad and hurt at Joey. But mostly mad at myself for kissing Joey and actually liking it.

But mainly I was terrified.

Why?

Because deep down I knew that what Joey said was right.

***

My phone buzzed and I felt my chest tighten. It was Michael.

Guilt seemed to wash over me like a tsunami, its like he knows of the incident...

Hey beautiful -M

Yip he most definitely knows, I'm doomed! Now I probably have to get the next flight out to Mexico or Canada... I like mousse... Maybe Canada isn't a bad idea...

Oh my word stop being such a drama queen Tessa!

I dropped my phone at the sudden slam of the door.

"Dammit" I muttered as I bent down to pick it up. I heard someone clear their throat and my eyes shot up to meet the familiar green ones.

"Oh!" I jumped to my feet, ignoring the sudden dizziness from moving to quickly. "Joey. Hi!"

Joey just stares at me as if I have grown a second head. "Our parents are taking us out for dinner, they told us to dress..." His eyes scanned my body before boring into my brown irises. "Decent"

I looked at my outfit; jeans and a T-shirt. Was that an insult?

Before I could respond, Joey pushed past me and made his way to the bathroom. I let out an exasperated sigh and made my way to my suitcase.

I hated the fact that Joey was giving me the cold shoulder. I should have never kissed him.

Actually no...Joey should have never kissed me! What was wrong with him?! Who does he think he is to go around and just...and just kiss me with those soft lips?!

Now I have kissed two boys! Two!! Not even more than a few hours in difference.

Gosh can't boys just keep their lips to themselves?!

Because my grandma always told me that if I kiss 2 or more boys in one day, their saliva will mix in my mouth and kill me!!!

I'll guess I'll just have to wait and see won't I?
