Temporary Kisses

Part 18

Chapter 18

Sorry for all the time jumps guys, I just don't want my writing to get repetitive and once again, I am so sorry for the lack of updates recently, this is my first story so I'm struggling slightly with my writing style and where I want Temporary Kisses to go. Hopefully I'll update more, my writing will get more mature and just generally better and maybe my storylines will become more interesting to read :D

Catelaya's POV

I buzzed on the buzzer to my boyfriend's flat. He had been my boyfriend for a little over a year now and he definitely helped me to get over the loss of...Him.

He buzzed me in and I walked down the corridor until I reached flat 11. The door opened to a shirtless Nolan in low hanging white jogging bottoms. I kissed him on the lips chastely and he wrapped his strong muscly arms tightly around my waist. I had gotten with Nolan around a year ago now and in some ways I think it helped that he was so close to...Sometimes if I looked at Nolan, I could see Asher in him and that's why he was all the more gorgeous to me. Sometimes I wondered if I wasn't in love with him, and if maybe I just loved the fact that he helped me when I needed someone. I shook my head slightly whilst trying to rid myself of these thoughts and slightly loosening my arms, which were wrapped around Nolan. He leaned down and kissed my cheek softly and tenderly. I still thought about Asher sometimes yet I'm glad I've moved on. However, my biggest regret is not letting him share his side of the story before he left. I'm still not sure whether he's alive or dead and neither me nor Nolan have had any contact since the day he left. Nolan smirked at me suddenly and pressed his mouth on mine hard, invading my mouth with his velvety tongue. He pressed his hard groin roughly into mine rocking against me slightly and grinding into me. I let out a low husky moan as Nolan trailed his delicate fingertips down my cheek and down the valley of my chest as he pulled my strappy vest top down exposing my lacy bra. I blushed bright scarlet as Nolan laid me down in the middle of the hallway and followed me down until he was suspended over me on his elbows. I looked up into his beautiful baby blue eyes, so different from Asher's chocolate brown ones. He pressed his lips against mine once more as my trousers were suddenly down around my ankles and his shirt was across the living room somewhere. I ran my hands down his hard toned chest as he groaned softly in my ear. Suddenly, the weight from on top of me vanished completely and cries of anger and pain filled the air. I sat up abruptly and my eyes widened to the size of saucers at the sight in front of me. A brunette man was on the floor, straddling Nolan laying punch after punch to his face. Blood began splattering everywhere with every fist that landed. "I fucking thought you were my brother!" He screamed in Nolan's face. "You knew I loved her!" He stood quickly and landed a swift brutal kick into his side causing a pain filled groan to escape his swollen bloody lips. My eyes widened in shock at Asher's sudden appearance and the words that had tumbled out of his mouth. At this point, I didn't know who I should go to, it had been so long since I had last seen Asher and he had changed. He now had a fully inked arm with many different swirling black designs, he had a ring in his lip and he had a new hairstyle, yet he was still the same Asher, my Asher. On the other hand, Nolan was still my boyfriend and I...did I love him though? Or was he just a shoulder to cry on when I needed one most. With Asher, I was damn sure I loved him and all his flaws included but with Nolan, I feel like I just loved him as a friend, I didn't feel those sparks. I shook my head, effectively cutting off the thoughts I had reeling through my brain. Without a second thought I immediately dashed to Nolan seeing as he was worse off in so many ways. He was drenched in warm crimson blood as he groaned in agony on the floor. I fell to my knees beside him, and stoked some of his blonde hair out of his face whilst trying to locate some of the worse wounds that he had. I got up hurriedly and ran to the kitchen cupboard where I knew Nolan kept the medical supplies from when Asher used to fight. I grabbed the entire box and ran back to where Nolan lay and where Asher was pacing back and forth muttering to himself. I began tending to the wounds he had and when I was done, I stood to face the guy himself. "Asher I..." I began but I could tell Asher didn't want a friendly chat over this.
"How could you? My own brother and yo-" He stopped himself when he began to get heated and kicked the wall viciously beside me. I flinched at the sound as he stalked closer to me. "Do you love him?" He asked simply whilst he ground his teeth in anger.
"I...not the same way I love you, I mean I..." I stuttered over my words as his penetrating gaze met mine. I twiddled my fingers nervously as Nolan gradually got back to his feet. I inched closer to Asher while Nolan nodded sadly in realization. Now Asher was back, everything had changed. I stepped closer to Asher again as he wrapped a strong muscly arm around my waist. I inhaled his strong scent and huddled into him further. I missed him so much and perhaps now he could tell me his side of the story and I won't be a complete and utter bitch about it. The tears dripped from my eyes and I snuggled into his strong hard chest. He seemed reluctant to hug me fully but he seemed to finally give into that urge when he nuzzled his face into my neck leaving soft kisses as he went. I shot Nolan an apologetic look and he sent me back a nod and left the room limping with his head hung down low. My heart ached slightly as I saw the state he was in because of me, but I had to fix things with Asher as selfish as that sounded. I tugged on Asher's hand gently and pulled him out the door, down the corridor and down the road where the local park was. We sat on a rickety old bench while I sat and waited for him to say something...anything.

"My own brother..." Was all he whispered as he rubbed a hand over his face and played with his lip ring. I frowned and placed my hand gently over his making him flinch slightly.

"Asher...tell me what happened...help me to understand, I know I fucked up, but please just... explain to me." I murmured with my eyes clouding over slightly. He inhaled and sighed deeply as he turned to face me with anger clear in his chocolate brown eyes.
"Well it all started when..."
